I think that’s just you seeing the irrationality in your argument. You’re trying very hard to justify this so that it makes sense. It doesn’t. It wasn’t right. You can try harder and harder to say “well... he was a criminal so he deserved it.” And that’s fine. That’s what a lot of people do to make themselves feel…

What an interesting logic of yours: If someone has marijana and a gun they must be a dangerous criminal. Do you think they do that with all illegal susbtances? Like, I saw Mrs. Johnson using pills from a perscription bottle and I didn’t know if it was hers or if she was illegally using someone elses and she had a gun…

Yeah, having a gun in an open-carry state while also committing a crime tottally makes it OK for the police to shoot you. Got a hand gun in your glove compartment while going 56 in a 55 zone.... Deserves a shooting. Have a gun holstered to your leg while you fub a number on your taxes. IRS should shoot you. Use…

I wonder... did the officer at the time magically know that the gun was stolen or did he just look like the “kind of guy” who would have a stolen gun?

Yeah, I know that from when they shot Tamir Rice.

It’s pretty bleak when your best case scenario for rationalizing the situation above is that the police were justificed because they saw someone rolling a marijuana cigarrete while also having a gun visible in an open-carry state. Guess he shouldn’t have used marijuana. Guess he shouldn’t have had posession of a gun…

So your argument here is that the 2nd Amendement to the US Constitution and North Carolina’s open cary laws legally allow for a gun to be holstered to ones body.... but never be held? That actually holding a gun in an open cary state in the United States is illegal? That’s new to me. I’ve never seen anyone load or…

My bad. Sitting in a car NOT reading a book is totally a valid reason to be killed by a plainclothes police officer. Honestly, I’m impressed by the officer. I wonder how he knew from that distance that the gun was stolen. Good thing he knew that before he shot the guy and not after. And even so, good thing he thought…

So help me out because I’ve read numerous stories from multiple newsources with left and right biases and none of them agree with you. So cite your claims.

I mean really I say that becaseu I can’d handle 50 people comminting back saying “naw, dude, didn’t you know North Carolina IS AN OPEN care state!!!!” or pasting the 2nd Amendment like I’ve never heard of it... lol

Among other things, I think it is erroneous to assume that the only misconduct that could be involved by an officer in the shooting of a civilian would need to be race based. I’m not comfortable looking at a situation where an innocent man was mistakenly approached by a police officer and who was shot and killed…

Guys... if he didn’t want to get shot he shouldn’t have been sitting quietly in the car reading. I mean, he’s kind of asking for it.

Do you think this would work with uncoated wicks? Would love to make this for this weekend but won’t get specialty ghee coated wicks in time... but I have plain wicks laying around somewhere. Thoughts candle experts?

I think that our democracy would be safer if we all just assume that any medi that is critical of the government is just wrong and if we all just started to only trust information provided directly from government sources. I don’t see how that could possibly go wrong.

So, question for people who know more about this stuff than I do: Is HDR a big enough deal to hold out for a TV that has it? Like, will I REALLY notice any difference? Same with 60hz refresh?

I’m sorry... wouldn’t the term for what they are talking about (people paid by organizations to make efforts to enact political change and affect public opinion for their specific cause) - “lobbyist.”

During the 3rd debate Trump plainly said that he just didn’t believe the 17 agencies that believed that Russia was behind these hacks. At this point even Wallace stopped in to admit that “top national secuirty officials of this country do believe that Russia has been behind these attacks.”

I think it is important to realize that, while the Democrats have lost a lot of political control, there is some consolation in the fact that most American voters choose a Democrat. To me, this reminds me that the majority of people aren’t against the Democratic ideals. Remember: From 1992-2010, only ONE TIME have the…

Complain was a bad choice of words on my part. I should have said “provide feedback.”

That was just the example. My point being: There are elected officials who, while they are not MY direct representatives, have roles where they make decisions that do affect me. Maybe they are the chair of a committee or they are sponsoring a bill I disagree with. Whatever the case may be.... do I have standing to…
