NSR: A gun on Every Corner: Discuss the NRA, Gun Ownership and All Those Non-Mass Shootings..

Some bitch went postal at a Rite Aid distribution center outside Baltimore and killed three people plus herself. Wounded a few others.
I’m sure having to explain the origin of her first name has been cooking her lizard brain for years and she finally went Snap Action.
Mental illness, amirite?

Think I heard was third mass shooting in that county.

Then there's this;

The shooting occurred in another building known as the Liberty Building, Johnson said. “Everyone is just walking around moping and grieving for the people who are in Liberty.”

I see Liberty as having the right to make an honest living in a workplace without fear of getting blasted while I'm typing an email or posting on BS. But that's just me.

 

No, she was black,, so ter'rist..
And if she hadn't had a gun she'da used a pressure cooker...

 

Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety -Melania Trump

Don't be a wuss, son- bullet wounds add character and draw flies

Every gun is sacred
Every gun is great
If a bullet's wasted,
God gets quite irate

Everybody talk about
Pop music

Boy gets tired of being told to clean his room, so he kills his grandmother and then shoots himself.

The only way to stop a bad child with a gun is...wait, what?

 

Did he pass a mental health background check before he bought the gun?


On the positive side, at least he did not use an "assault rifle".

 

This is bananas.

Armed security guard working at a bar subdues a shooter. Police show up and kill the security guard.

The security guard was black.

 

Teach whom? He was a security guard.

 

They can't teach anyone not to be Black. Remember, that's why he was shot, not because they actually thought he was the shooter, lol.

 

Then stay where you are. I have no reason to try to make you understand something you may have been reared deliberately not to understand

 

Yes.

If you're this bent out of shape about maintaining the status quo, I don't know why I'd spend time addressing your posts any further. Have whatever day you can manage.

 

Dead good guy with a gun.

Shoot first. Don't ask questions later. Envelop in union pacts. Decry implicit bias.

 

When police arrived, an officer immediately opened fire, killing Roberson, as witnesses told them to stop. “Everybody was screaming out, ‘Security!’ He was a security guard,” Harris said.

“They still did their job, and saw a black man with a gun, and basically killed him,” he added.

Doing their job indeed.

 

Or could it have been because he was black and had a gun? A combination that seems to make cops fear for their lives...

 

See, that's the thing. If the security guard had acted with recklessness, he would have shot the guy. Instead he had a knee in his back, holding a gun on him, staying calm.

I'm not a cop, but to me, if I run up to a person with a knee in someone's back and holding a gun on him, Job One, even if you think the first guy is the bad guy even though he's got on security gear, is to prevent him from shooting the guy on the ground. Not to shoot first and ask questions later. As a layman, this cop seems like a shitty cop. It's just luck that the man on the ground didn't get shot.

Here's the thing...the police have ENORMOUS power granted to them by citizens. It is a privilege, not a right, to be a police officer. This cop ********ed up. If someone on the street like you or I or Sport Billy ********ed up like that, we'd be in jail awaiting trial. (Well, you're a POC, so you might not have made it to jail alive.)

The problem I see is that the police want it both ways. They want that enormous power, but they don't want any consequences when they ******** up.

That's normal; most interest groups only want the good and not the bad.

The problem is the extent to which we, as a society, have bought into the police narrative of consequence-free, nearly unlimited power. We don't have to go along with them!

 

Again - do your fcking job the right way. I'm sure driving up to a bar with people yelling "he's a security guard!" and blasting the security guard without properly assessing the situation is not in the manual.

 

BTW, do we know whether the guy deceased was restraining was blackish or whiteish? Seems like that might affect any instant assessment by a biased officer...
