Probably, but why call in the mod?

The genius subject of this thread:

Trolls try and disrupt the threads, to hijack them. And in this case, the troll is intellectually stunted with a ranting persona.

You may have a tolerance for that, but I do not.

Sometimes trolls are amusing and we play with them. Entertaining and all that. However, in this case the troll is being a troll; neither entertaining nor interesting.

This trolls is a waste of bandwidth and has no place on FR.

It's a hysterical poster.
It could truly be a relative of the dead guy.
No need for moderator, IMO.

[Gunrunner2]

Could be. . .but as you know. . .anyone can claim to be anyone and who's to know.

And guess what; I choose to think that poster is not a relative or related in anyway to the dummy that got himself shot.

Fact is; the troll is a ranting lunatic and should not to be tolerated, relative or not.

No one capable of driving will pull a FAKE gun on COPS

Oh please.

You know, he looks like he might have been the Faust of classic literature. Too bad he didn't sell his soul for a few IQ points.

"And this morning in the early AM a deputy tasered a military person who had just returned from IRAQ because the deputy could not rad and went to the wrong address"


And you can't write with precision. Could that have possibly been the case in the deputy going to wrong address also? People make mistakes, some are more conspicuos than others.

"his young man was a christian that would not hurt a fly...was an advocate for the homless"



Posessed a revoked license, driving drunk, uncooperative and pulled a toy gun. My heart bleeds for the bums he was so fond of

[Ramtek57]

All the bad cops now carry toy throw-downs for use when they need it. It cheaper, and untraceable for them, and covers up their mistake.

[Gunrunner2]

Damn. . .really. . .wow. . .you know this because. . .oh never mind, before you answer I need to get a new tin-foil hat and my conspiracy theory de-coder ring.

[Ramtek57]

Don't you watch NYDP blues?

[Gunrunner2]

Ooohhh. ..never watch it. In fact, don't watch any cop shows at all.

Ooohh, time two, is this where you think he gets his "facts" about what cops do?

I have a hint for him. . . .TV ain't real.

No kidding.

It's not.

Unless, of course, the TV is talking TO him, then it's another story altogether as the tin-foil hat clears up the signal.

Ooohhh. . . .I'm a little slow sometimes but I eventually get there.

Cheers!

My nephew wears a Deputy Sheriff hat which isn't made from tinfoil.  The word on the street is "that some of the cops that keep a throw down available, just in case something happens, have switched to cheaper untraceable alternative.......... toy guns".   

[eastforker]

Hell yes and totaly untraceable. Think about it, if it was your ass on the line what would you or anyone else do to cover your ass, especialy when there is no one to give a conflicting account!

[eastforker]

And the fact is, the one left standing writes the history, there is no one to dispute him. The last thing any cop wants after a shooting is a civilian witness, that is a fact and you and all other LEO's know it. Dead men tell no tales, ask Janet Reno, Bill and Hill, they'll tell ya.

[Ramtek57]

"especially when there is no one to give a conflicting account!"

Yep, that right captain, I saw him reach for a gun.  I didn't know it was a toy gun!
Too bad the bozo doesn't have anything to say about it, he can't say too much now his mouth is all shot up. 

 

[eastforker]

Even though it is wrong I do not blame them, it is a tough job out there, there is no concrete answer to this problem.
