Asking a question is not disruptive, comrade.

I was threatened before the event even started. I was just sitting there in my seat, after eating many delicious churros (hats off to the organizers for that - they were good). That’s when security guy “Bob” — who refused to tell me his name despite me asking again and again — told me not to make a disturbance and

...Sure? Don’t know if they’d welcome your feelings seeing as most of them were pretty awesome and thus wouldn’t probably see the need to make smug comments about someone’s language in a football discussion thread.

Yes, and guns don’t magically “go off”. Guns really don’t kill people all on their own. He did something that caused it to go off. Which in a populated area is definitely reckless and probably criminal.

So all those gun owners who accidentally kill their kids or spouses when their guns go off when they are handling them should be convicted of involuntary manslaughter?

Because the jury believed his claim that he didn’t even know it was a gun until it discharged as it was wrapped in clothing and discarded by the bench. There is no criminal negligence in the act of picking up an item of clothing, you cannot reasonably assume this to be unsafe.

Guns don’t kill people; people kill people. Unless guns go off accidentally, in which case guns totally kill people.

Forgot to mention Jews during Holocaust Remembrance Month, dropped casual racism in front of Native American vets next to an Andrew Jackson portrait during Native American History Month, asks a black reporter to set up a meeting with the Congressional Black Caucus during Black History Month, and on, and on. Yeah,

Here we have this great story and you still manage to inject a perceived slight. Come on.
