Unfortunately for this kid, he lives in New York. New York does not have stand your ground laws, meaning the response to an attacker must be “reasonable”. Unless this bully pulled out a knife or a gun, then Cedeno was only allowed to use his fists to defend himself. The severity of the beating he was receiving does…

I take issue with one point in the video, which has led me to suspect the rest.

Cops do not, infact, kill more black people than white people. In 2016, according to the Washington Post, they killed double the number of white people they killed black people. I know it’s not a 100% complete picture, but the numbers…

Given that african americans make up ~12-13% of the US population, and that Apple is a US Corporation, they are doing pretty damn good in that regard.

They would support legislation limiting Bump Stocks. Things like background checks or tax stamps. They were never going to support a outright ban.

The point of supporting legislation would be to get it thrown into the SHARE act to help it pass through. It’s almost like Republican groups can take advantage of a…

Maybe this is the break between white and black? I was raised to Obey the cops, not ask for a damn lawyer. IF they detain you, you post bail and sue after. Your only owed a lawyer once you are accused of a crime and arrested. So if the cops decide you are resisting arrest, or you try and run, they are not going to…

This may be the stupidest goddamn thing california has done in a long time.

“Oh, you intentionally infected your partner with an incurable, deadly, life altering disease? You little rascal you! 6 months in prison then off you go!”

I want to get off this ride.

It is completely audible in the body cam footage. He says it a split second before the officer says ill shoot you. You may have confused it with the police talking or let emotions override rational judgement, but it is there.

In this video, post by your sister site splinter, you can hear it. Skip to ~17 seconds You…

So, liberals shut down several far right speakers from speaking at campuses. Sure, they were assholes, but they did deny them their right to speak. They didn’t protest, as much as out right (and in some cases, violently) block their venues.

This is what we in redneck country call a slippery slope. It’s why we hate any…

Magazine capacity doesnt really change much. Example video 1 of 10,000 on youtube.

So a finger? or as in the example from another poster, a belt loop.

$10 says they wrap this into the SHARE act so they can pass it now rather than waiting only to be interrupted again.

As an aside, I support the share act, so I would be OK with this.

Editing the original comment. It’s quite clear in the video that Harmon threatens to stab the officer. Combine that with the fact that he really did not want to go to jail and had an aggravated assault charge, I’d say the shooting was justified.

For those wanting to listen, He says “Ill *indecipherable* stab you”, to…

Limiting magazine size does nothing to stop a mass shooting. The video I’m going to link is one of dozens, even not 100+ you can find on youtube of people testing this theory out. Magazine capacity restrictions do nothing to save a life.

For guns you need to go through a background check. I, like many americans, are all for expanding the use of background checks. I would love to see them used at gunshows, provided they can come up with a system that could actually be rapidly setup for these shows. You can’t right now, as it isn’t as easy as going to a…

Because in this particular instance you are disarming law abiding citizen because a few jackasses can’t get the mental help they need due to a lack of available care and social stigmas, as well as a general lack of education on mental disorders.

It’s like banning cars when a guy drives through a crowd at a protest or…

As someone who hasn’t ever received welfare, and generally doesnt weigh in much, I feel at a bit of a loss here.

Can someone fill me in on why a work requirement is “bad”? It doesnt seem to limit the welfare to the recipient for having a job, as in they dont get less help.

In the same vein, I dont see how removing…

You dont own guns, and you have no intention to ever own guns. I get that. But for the love of god, do some damn research.

Automatic firearms or citizens without a need to own one are incredibly heavily restricted. You have to submit $200 bucks, fingerprints, and pictures to the ATF, as well as making sure the rifle…

So, in the case of this guy using what an FBI expert called a belt fed weapon(already illegal), the silencer probably would have saved lives. The sheer weight of fire would have melted internal components (if a suppressor with baffles) or would have deformed and damaged the weapon(if one with a metal baffle system).…
