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

If only the police would until people shoot at them before they shoot, hundreds of unarmed African American men would be alive every year.

 

You did not fix my main error

If only the police would wait until people shoot at them before they shoot, hundreds of unarmed African Americans would be alive every year.

They’re coming out from under rocks now. Is there any doubt that this could only happen under trumps Rule of Law.

Feds arrest men after tip they were going to Kenosha to possibly 'loot,' 'pick people off'
Michael Karmo and Cody Smith face weapons charges

Federal agents arrested two Missouri men in Pleasant Prairie after receiving a tip they were coming to Kenosha to possibly "loot" and "pick people off."
According to WISN, agents searched the men’s vehicle and hotel room and found “an Armory AR-15 assault rifle, a Mossberg 500 AB 12-Gauge shotgun, two handguns, a silencer, ammunition, body armor, a drone and other materials.”

I, too, was posting from my phone, and it is a mess.
Hence, my missing the verb.
Damn me.

I imagine you and everybody in your life are thankful for that!

 

Sounds like a lovely place with real homey people.

 

I lived 5 minutes from there, but that was back around 1987. It was not much of a prairie and not particularly pleasant back then.

 

I guess those trial-thingees are a bit tedious these days - best to immediately jump to a verdict.

also - it's good to start the day with a bit of jury tainting, isn't it?

Representative Thomas Massie (R., KY) said Thursday that if he were a juror, he would not convict 17-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse on any of the charges he is facing in connection with the fatal shooting of two people in Kenosha, Wis. during rioting in the city.

“The strongest thing in his favor is actually the video of the event … the video of him running down the street and falling,” Massie said on the Tom Roten Morning Show. “He was fulfilling his obligation to retreat. … He fell down. … He responded in self-defense. … I would not convict.”

“He also exhibited incredible restraint and presence and situational awareness,” Massie continued. “He didn’t empty a magazine into a crowd.”

 

Unfortunately for Mr Rittenhouse....he was defending himself from people who were kinda pissed that he had already murdered someone.

 

Massie is counting on the fact that right now, there's no video of the first murder.

 

But there is.

there is video of him running across a parking lot,,you hear the shots, then you see him call someone and tell them he just killed someone.

 

Just re-reading that pece ... I wonder how this defence will play out in front of a jury?

once again, words fail ....

 

In an era (say since 2008 and it has become really present under Trump) when Congress people have been regularly saying horrible and outlandish things, this may be among the worst.

"Running down the street and falling" is grounds for a self defense on first degree intentional homicide charges?

Not "empty(ing) a magazine into a crowd" is restraint?

Damn, this is a low bar.

I have had fear for my country for a couple years now, but things are getting terrifying.

 

In what can only be an attempt to save its very existence, the NRA has admitted in its most recent tax filings that current and former employees have used NRA funds for personal purposes.

Every crime needs a fall guy.
If we didn't know that before,we should now.

 

More white men would also be alive.

As the majority of people that get shot by cop are white males, with black males coming in second.

Women of any race are very unlikely to get killed by cop (by American standard)

 

40 years ago today a gunnut snuffed out a legend. Jimmy Breslin covered it

Now responding to the call, "Man shot, 1 West 72," Jim Moran, a 45-year-old policeman, pulled up in front of the Dakota and Tony Palma and Herb Frauenberger put this guy with blood all over him in the backseat.

As Moran started driving away, he heard people in the street shouting, "That's John Lennon!"


Columnist Jimmy Breslin (New York Daily News)

Moran was driving with Bill Gamble. As they went through the streets to Roosevelt Hospital, Moran looked in the backseat and said, "Are you John Lennon?" The guy in the back nodded and groaned.
