Just reported. Took place outside of a Ponderosa Steakhouse. Not sure if it is related or not at this time. Police have shut down parts of I-95.
Thank You--yes, she beat all odds. almost 5 hours in surgery--while she was in O.R., the kind hosp. staff came in and gave us booklets on "Living With Traumatic Brain Injury". I threw them in the garbage and prayed. She is now back to her old (now 19 year-old) self, fully mobile, all intact and with her great sense of humor.
It's all fun and games to some, but I play to WIN! **I AM TOO SCARED TO GET SHOT BY 7.62mm
Washington times:
The Washington Post, quoting law enforcement sources, reported, however, that the cartridge was for a 7.62mm bullet, about equivalent to .30 caliber and larger than the .223 caliber bullets implicated in the earlier shootings. The bullets cannot be fired from the same weapon because they require different sized chambers and barrels
hmmmmm.
Welcome back!
The cop haters sure talk big, until they're pulled over.
I remember how amazed I was in college the day I realized that what we were being taught, what was in our textbooks, wasn't necessarily the truth and we had to look elsewhere to find it. Most students didn't, because it wasn't going to earn them an "A." and wasn't as much fun as the party down at the frat hall...
WHEN in the Course of human Events, it becomes necessary for one People to dissolve the Political Bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the Powers of the Earth, the separate and equal Station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent Respect to the Opinions of Mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the Separation.
WE hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness -- That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its Foundation on such Principles, and organizing its Powers in such Form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient Causes; and accordingly all Experience hath shewn, that Mankind are more disposed to suffer, while Evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the Forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long Train of Abuses and Usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object, evinces a Design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their Right, it is their Duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future Security. Such has been the patient Sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the Necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The History of the present King of Great- Britain is a History of repeated Injuries and Usurpations, all having in direct Object the Establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid World.
Most did, as we have no Homeland Security. It has not been passed in legislature and funded.
Yep they are really a tough bunch ain't they?
I'm fighting them every day of the week, my friend. And I don't disagree in the least about the borders...a country without borders is not really a country...it is a disaster waiting to happen.
But it is ridiculous for us to act like taking tough actions to catch and kill the enemy in our midst is counter to our rights as Americans...it's not.
Thanks-- Prayers and nite all...Zzzzzzzzzzz
Even IF he was to do this .. you know that the ACLU will be jumping up and down ..
I'm all for trying to fix the problem we face .. but I would rather go for something that might work
