“And then—and then!—the most incredible thing happened. As the press and producers and anyone with the ability to actually question Trump were locked in the ballroom, his stage collapsed.”

“It’s all the fear and danger that comes with a real gun in a (presumably) cheaper toy that CHILDREN carry!”

Given the look of the weapon in question, can you tell me that a cop in a stressful situation would be able to look at what this kid was carrying and be 99% certain that it was a BB-gun and not a firearm?

“Something sold as a toy in toy stores is going to be widely considered to be a toy”

“but the fact remains people consider them toys, and purchase them for their kids as though they were”

“the fact that a white kid with a toy gun is seen as just being a kid”

I grew up with firearms, bows, and BB-guns. Thanks to my parents, I developed a health respect for the damage they could do if used improperly by the time I was 13. This situation is a symptom of a larger problem. While I feel this kid is to blame for the outcome, it begs the questions, where the hell were his parents…

At what age exactly does a “child” become cognizant enough of the consequences of their actions for them to be held responsible?

Are you suggesting that the cop would have shot him regardless of him drawing a weapon?

He was still a child robbing people while armed with a weapon, which he then pulled on a cop after trying to evade them. Maybe we aren’t asking the right questions? Maybe instead of asking why the police officer used deadly force in response to facing what they believed to be and what appears to be a very real…

“no, you really havent given any good reasons beyond “but we have to do this or theyll do that” when “that” isnt really a big deal.”

“Hillary five minutes of factually correct information”

I’ve already spelled it out for you kid. If you are unable to comprehend what I’ve already posted...which I’ve already dumbed as much as possible for you...then no amount of regurgitating it will help.

“Commenters here remind me I’m not a journalist on a daily basis”

“But no OUR region and therefore not OUR problem”

If there is any failure here, it’s your inability to comprehend the repercussions of the Obama’s disastrous first steps onto the international diplomatic stage.

“how is any legislation or level of “statesmanship” gonna stop another country from annexing another? how is that OUR job to prevent?”

“allow my ass! what were we gonna do? join a war”

Denying that major media outlets in the country are heavily biased in favor of Democrat politicians and progressive agendas is like claiming the earth doesn’t revolve around the sun.

“theres a reason the Russians are gunning for the DNC servers and not the RNC, because the RNC is not a threat to them and can be their puppets”
