While I’m leary of double jeopardy in general, even going by the absolutely most* charitable interpretation of the evidence, Oscar approached the bathroom door armed (he could have left), and fired through the door without knowing who was on the other side. That’s murder under any system based on English common law.…

I think you have an oddly rosy view of life in the current adoption system.

Look, do you wanna take it up with me or with Stannis?

Need to back up, we’re going with right wing hyperventilating outrage and confirmation bias now, not left wing.

This probably the best state of affairs for both parties:

“Only an idiot would say that less guns does not mean less violence.”

Because all nationalities are like that, everyone around the world has violent idiots. But by giving people access to a weapon that can fire 16 bullets in as many seconds you are making it so easy for people to kill people.

Oh, I forgot about that one. Never mind, the US has no problem with gun violence. The US has had more gun violence this morning than the UK has in 10 years.

Sure they could have. But 355 so far this year? 30,000 deaths by firearm this year. Not admitting America has a problem with gun violence is sticking your head so far in the sand it surfaces in Australia.

Sigh, not even an interesting troll. At least give some sport, attempt some kind of rationalisation to your racism rather than hide behind “I don’t wanna...”

I’ve read it. You didn’t put that little nugget in any context.

By that logic, there’s no point having laws against any crime because criminals don’t care about them.

This. The American public decided then and there that the right to bear arms without infringement is worth the occasional bloodbath of young children.

No, by highlighting black men you are using them as a caveat. Now, an uncharitable person would suggest that caveat is because either their lives are worth less or that they somehow deserve it or bring it upon themselves.

Depends how you are counting ‘safer’ more people die in car accidents but that’s because cars are used by the majority of the population several times every day.

3 per capita? Every citizen kills 3 others?

And here we go again. Hope everyone’s safe.

Honestly, I’m probably a terrible parent because I can’t help cracking up when one of my kids starts crying or raging or rage-crying for ridiculous reasons.
