Any business owner who shoots looters during a riot should have qualified immunity.

Just an additional kind of messed up is the fact, that folks supporting these folks right to “freedom of expression,” demonize any group that would carry American flags and show pride in the good ole US of A.

Did you mean to reply like that to me? Beause you seem to not understand what my post was at all…

I agree with you on 2nd amendment issues, but you’ve either got to improve your posting and replying skills or your reading comprehension.

I would argue that we need to look for the connections present in the majority of the shootings instead of focusing on the “high profile” ones.

Tell that to the parents of the Sandy Hook victims.

Oh yeah, you probably believe they are paid actors.


You specifically brought up statistics that undercut the point you were making. I then went through and asked questions about the 80 mass shootings you referenced. Rather than forming any type of hypothesis that could be supported with verifiable data, you decided instead to go for an emotional appeal that I in no way argued against followed by an unwarranted ad hominem attack (with a degree of straw man thrown in for good measure).

Personally, I feel that Sandy Hook was a terrible tragedy perpetrated by a mentally broken individual. I in no way felt the parents were actors, and was heartbroken for their losses. At the same time, I do not think it was in any way the gun’s fault, and think current events in Europe and China with mass stabbings show that the base level human condition is violence, and I want to have every measure available to protect myself and my family from those that would do us harm.

Now I will not insult your intelligence or resort to name calling, but I would encourage you to dig deeper into the statistics that you brought to the board. Really tease it out and group the events by any and every metric you can think to do. Avoid trying to confirm your own hypothesis, instead let the data reveal truths that you (or anyone else for that matter) may find uncomfortable.


That’s probably too deep for a message board post, but I had some time and felt like getting into my scientific philosophy bag.

If Publix were an 8 year old Auburn football fan in the early1980s, HEB would be Bo Jackson.

he researched on YouTube how to make Molotov Cocktails, purchased the ingredients to do so and constructed them.



This idiot had to look up how to construct the world’s simplest incendiary device?

Of 80 mass shootings in the U.S., AR-15's were used 26% of the time.


So 20 out of 80 qualifying events. Seems like if you actually cared about curbing those events, you’d look at the other 74% and draw some conclusions…

How many of the 80 were perpetrated by minorities? How many were by socioeconomically disadvantaged individuals? How many were religiously motivated? How many of the perpetrators have a history of mental illness and SSRI use?

I would argue that we need to look for the connections present in the majority of the shootings instead of focusing on the “high profile” ones.

Fair enough. Forgot he was a lefty when I was typing out the fundamentals.




Also, coach interview curse strikes again…
quote:

Could have - almost did. But asking the OF to go over a 7-foot fence and bring one back is a big ask.


I’m still going with should have. His jump was well right of where the ball came down, plus he jumped hard into the fence. Use your throwing hand to find the wall and position yourself for the jump. That wasn’t a line drive homer so he had some time to get in a better spot.

It’s always an ask to rob one, but that was definitely one that you’d prefer to see someone of his caliber bring back.
I feel like Fowler should have robbed that…


Edit just to bitch… I don’t think any school with a full turf field should be allowed to host anything.
I came in here to make a “pee pee in your coke” type joke about how predictable their violation of an agreement would be and then this gets dropped…

Military action will be next my nephew is in the administration b- that’s what no more Mr nice guy means - Moab’s will be dropped on China soon


That should be the absolute, most ridiculous, bullshite statement ever posted on this board.

But if there’s even the tiniest grain of truth to it, it’s truly terrifying…

Callipygian should be on the list.
