Hanover County Shooting [Ashland, Virginia- North of Richmond]

[William McKinley]

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.

"She is now back to her old (now 19 year-old) self, fully mobile, all intact and with her great sense of humor."

That, my Freeper friend, is the best thing I have EVER read on Free Republic. Period.

Our children are the most important thing in the world. I have to say "Thank You God" on this one.

Amen bro.....hear hear!!!

"You are aware that John Wayne was just acting and that Mat Dillon was just a chracter in an old western....right? "

God bless you and your daughter ma'am.

Anyone have the email that the Hanover County deputy referred to in an interview on Fox News which apparently predicted that Ashland would be the next target?

[Arkinsaw]

Nope. But the term "Clinton-hater" was generated by the Carvilles of the world who wanted to dismiss any criticism of Clinton as being "hate" rather than valid opposition on issues.

The term "cop-hater" in the post is a similar term designed to dismiss criticisms in this thread of the "handcuff em all" approach as being "hate" of police officers.

If thats the intent, its a similar demagoguery.

Nice.....really nice.

And who would you call if your home was burglarized? Or your daughter raped? Or your car was stolen?

Cop bashers usually sing a different tune when THEY need a LEO.

I like your post - we have a war on our hands. And in a war, you act on Bull Halsey's maxim: "Hit hard - hit fast - hit often." You take the enemy to one of two situations - to where he *chooses not to* continue hostilities, or to where he *is not able* to continue hostilities. FReegards

[ApesForEvolution]

I just don't see the evidence of 'forceful and swift', let alone competent, rational and effective. Sorry.

[Texasforever]

you don't recognize rhetorical illustration?

No what it shows is that you can't separate life from fantasy. There are many on this thread suffering from that affliction so you are not alone.

Hi Howlin!

I'm not guessing Islamist on this one.

I'd start my investigation by requesting tip calls from everyone who has a neighbor who's "not out much, kinda keeps to himself. A quiet guy."

Second, I'd profile any guy who wears dark brown pants.

Please provide source and documentation for ONE little old lady who has been forced to submit to a body cavity search at an airport.

[schmelvin]

I've been here the whole time, and would've gotten to the end of this thread much sooner if I didn't have to weed through so many off-topic posts.

Thanks for the "moon" realwoman. I appreciate intelligent discourse.

[Conservababe]

Why would I need a LEO after the fact? I would need one just to fill out the forms, no? A LEO cannot protect me, as I well know.

[Arkinsaw]

But to be a cop hater in general sounds a bit WTO/Anarchist there AR

I'm definitely not opposed to Police Officers. My favorite uncle was one, my dad was a reserve officer, a good friend is one in northeast Arkansas. I say yes sir to them.

But that doesn't stop me from expecting them to be exacting when it comes to respecting citizens rights even in tough situations. Thats not "cop-hating" regardless if thats how someone wants to categorize it.

[EternalVigilance]

I'm sorry, but the 'tough actions' that they are taking part in RIGHT NOW in the NorEast and have been taking part in at airports, doing cavity searches of little white grandmas, while MEs are NOT searched, is ludicrous.

What sane person could argue with that? It is ridiculous.

But it is amazing how common sense can break out overnight when dire circumstances suddenly bring priorities into focus.

We need to pray that that happens in this country sooner rather than later.

I've been working here on contract, flying back and forth.

I wouldn't live out here for ANY amount of Federal Reserve Notes.

And, yes, I'm sure many libertarians are having to make another trip over to the "bud's" house, if you know what I mean.

How dare you question that. That little old lady has been subjected to that in every airport in the country daily. If I didn't know better I would think she enjoys it given the multiple daily cavity searches report by witnesses on FR.
