Look dude. I get it. You're scared of a scary black man walking towards his car. Your partner even has a hold of his shirt, but go ahead. Fire away.Quote:

But I get it. That was a threatening man to you. It doesn't mean it is a justified shooting.
Dumb/mentally ill people + access to guns = ???Quote:

I can go on, but I hope you get my point. It's not guns. It's people.

To kill someone with a knife.. yeah that is a lot more difficult than with a gun.
Cars main purpose aren't an instrument of violence.
Same goes with the internet.
Lot harder to kill people with a knife, which is why armies switched to guns a few hundred years ago.Quote:

Might be a good idea, but I think the politics forum here would die.Quote:

It's people WITH guns.Quote:

Well this is interesting.
So last night the bullshit narrative that Jacob Blake was some sort of saint who was breaking up a fight when the fascist pigs shot him in the back on his way to deliver meals to the homeless was destroyed, turned out he was trespassing on his girlfriend's property and took her car keys and wouldn't return them, prompting the girlfriend to call the police. Dispatch informed the officers the suspect had warrants out for his arrest.
And now this bit of news. Turns out the cops DID use their tasers but they were ineffective. The officers DID try to place Blake under arrest but he resisted and walked towards his car. Blake ADMITTED he had a knife during this incident. The officer who shot Blake tried to pull him away from his car by his shirt and when that proved useless he finally resorted to shooting him.
So let's recap:
The cops were there to ARREST BLAKE. They weren't called there to break up a fight between two women that Blake had already broken up like the lies that spread like wildfire suggested.
The cops knew he had warrants out for his arrest before they even showed up on the scene.
Blake was armed with a knife.
The cops used their tasers first.
The cops tried placing Blake under arrest but he resisted and walked away.
The cop tried to physically prevent Blake from entering his car.
Finally as a last resort the cop shot Blake. Remember the video I posted like half a dozen times a couple of nights ago which shows why it's a bad idea to be a police officer and allowing a dangerous suspect to reach into his car? Yeah.
Honest question for you all who swallowed down the original bullshit narrative: do you feel even the slightest bit stupid that you keep being lied to and you keep believing it without waiting for the facts?
You were lied to and manipulated about George Floyd and you were lied to and manipulated about Jacob Blake.
But something tells me you don't care. You'll wake up tomorrow eagerly awaiting your daily dose of bullshit so you can rage about it on the internet while cheering on actual rioters and anarchists hundreds/thousands of miles away from your home all the while saying "That darn Drumpf lies and manipulates soooooo much!!!"

This must be an example of those largely peaceful protests that have been happening in Kenosha I was told about.Quote:
“The damage to our building and the cost to replace the exterior damage and to top it off to replace everything stolen is going to be catastrophic … at this point we will be closing down completely.”
Be sure when a gang of 20+ Antifa/BLM goons get in your face and threaten you that you raise that fist of yours like a good little sheep.
I know you haven't been here for it. But we used to have this debate with Latrin somewhat often. It has been proven that human against human violence doesn't decrease when you remove the guns. It will decrease the rate of suicides though.Quote:

You've been here when Latrin was. I don't know why you are trying to pretend that guns are the problem with human on human violence.Quote:
