Uh, at the risk of being called a racis' because mr. martinez is apparently hiss-panic, no more gc and no sympathy. Any sympathy was out the door when he decided to voice his opinion about my rights. Hmmm. He's a criminal defense attorney. Sounds like he's expecting a call from the lyin'king. Well marty, some nut bag killed your son. If your son had not been one of the victims, and the perp had not off'd himself, I'm sure you'd be lining up to defend him. Jerk.

If only one of his roommates had had a gun —

Confirms that Joe the plumber was right.

[Dalberg-Acton]

Screw that gun grabber.

to become a criminal defense lawyer, at times representing the young and the violent.

hmmmm....

[rktman]

When someone (supposedly) slashes your throat while you sleep it’s hard to defend yourself. My question is, were they drugged? I thought the event occurred fairly early in the evening. Why would all 3 be asleep at that time?

[realcleanguy]

I’m confused. Didn’t his son die from stab wounds from a knife? I still don’t understand why he is angry at the NRA? The NRA didn’t put the knife in Elliots hands, did they?

[Little Ray]

Gun owner to Richard Martinez.
Grow up. Grow a pair. Put on your big girl panties. Go after the folks to blame for your kid’s death - Robert’s parents.

AND the gun and knife or the car (IIRC the scumbag ran over 1 or 2 of the deceased) is NOT the problem.

A loonytune P.O.S. was the problem!

Get the facts right Pedro...

[Blood of Tyrants]

His grievance does not outweigh my rights.

[rktman]

No, his son was shot at the convenience store. The three roomates had their throats cut while the were asleep. Odd eh?

[NFHale]

Spot on

[CGASMIA68]

Is this true.I don’t know?

[CGASMIA68]

sorry #11 wasn’t up yet

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Stop beating around the bush and support a total gun ban then.

I want Martinez, or anyone in the Democrat/media establishment, to just come out and say it. Say that it's time for everyone in America to turn in their guns.

COME ON LEFTISTS, IT'S FOR THE CHILDREN!

[LadyBuck]

Who knows what any of us would say at the horrific loss of our child, BUT...he sure had his talking points lined up awfully fast....Even in grief, an agenda prevails?

3...2...1...Trayvon-Momma-Money-Maker PING!

[Bubba_Leroy]

Half the victims were stabbed to death. Clearly we need knife control laws.

[Old Yeller]

Playing right into the tyrants hands.

[chris37]

I would appreciate it if this man and his demon spawn son would stop attacking our civil rights.

We had nothing to do with the crimes you son committed.

But you did, because you made him.

You have no sympathy from me, and you will not have my civil rights either.

Shut up and go away.

[Fair Paul]

Getting a call from a politician doesn’t impress me.”

I'm cutting the guy some slack, his son was brutally murdered a few days ago, he's in a state of extreme emotion and grief, and he wants to do something constructive to make sense of something incomprehensible. However, he has no idea how politicians are chomping at the bit to use him as we speak.
