Colorado Democrat afraid to let his kids play with Nerf guns after Zimmerman verdict
Daily Caller ^ | July 18, 2013 | Greg Campbell

The Colorado Democratic legislator who once suggested “ballpoint pens” were reasonable alternatives to handguns for self-defense wrote on Facebook that “cold fingers of fear grasped at my throat” in the wake of the George Zimmerman trial when his 15-year-old son asked if it was OK to play cops-and-robbers outside with toy Nerf guns.

“With a dry mouth and wet eyes, I angrily told him that he could not go outside and play a simple childhood game,” state Rep. Jessie Ulibarri wrote in a message he later promoted on the liberal blog ColoradoPols.

Ulibarri, who is Hispanic, was afraid his son would be profiled because of his dark skin.

“15-year-old son asked if it was OK to play cops-and-robbers outside with toy Nerf guns.” **************************** Is his son mentally handicapped? If not, why is a 15 year old asking his father that? Strange...

Must have been after his nap and after he finished his juice out of his sippy cup.

“his 15-year-old son “

His 15 year old DAUGHTER. The sissy doesn’t have a son. He raised a girl.

These people look like they have a collective IQ of about 50.

My favorite is the fat bull dyke lesbian wearing the clerical collar.

“Cops & Robbers does seem a bit strange for a 15 yr. old. At that age I owned my own firearms, and I literally lived on my Honda 90. A century ago it seems.

I wonder which color ink is more lethal. Black, blue or red.

Looks an awful lot like a 'white hispanic' to me.
