The images of the front porch area released early last week showed what looked like crushed flowers next to the blood drops on the ground. I don’t know if this has symbolic meaning or is incidental.

Is this something we should be waiting for, or is it not on the production schedule?

Congratulations, and many blessings! So many of us here were blessed through her posts when she was taking care of your father.

Thanks, TigersEye. It is helpful to clarify what’s really going on here. Have a great rest of your weekend as well.

Yes.

Carrying doesn’t immunize you against the rest of the law. I think we agree on that.

Thanks for this thread. We’re grateful the storm hasn’t been quite as bad as predicted thus far.

Some of the pumps have those stupid “fume capture” nozzles. They won’t turn on when you try to fill the can.

I hate that.

The Second Amendment doesn't condition the right to keep and bear arms on having an ID.

Still, I think it was a bad call on his part if he wasn't in compliance with local laws.

So it isn’t his carrying, but his interfering conduct, that was unlawful.

His conduct of interfering, rather than his carrying itself, is what made his carrying become unlawful, is that correct?

It was imprudent. I don’t fight against law enforcement. None of this changes the fact that he was lawfully carrying. His actions to interfere with law enforcement are a separate question.

A lot of good stuff this evening. Thanks for your efforts.

I don't know if you two have a history, so I certainly don't want to get in the way of a good argument.

That said, I have read nothing to the effect that the deceased was not lawfully carrying, exercising his 2nd Amendment rights.

If, as reported, he was an ICU nurse, he can't have been stupid, academically speaking.

Whether it was prudent for him to be carrying while either interfering, or appearing to interfere, or attempting to interfere with law enforcement is another question entirely.

MarMema, I hope all is well with you, as I know that insults such as this entirely miss their mark.

I think it’s percentages of survey participants.

I figure the orders must have been approved up the chain of command. Otherwise, I hope this is misinformation or disinformation.

It’s hard to figure out the motivation. Could the *friend* address the situation himself, or is he calling attention to the situation because he feels helpless (whether or not that’s an accurate assessment) and wants somebody else to step in?

chief operating officer David Goodgame orchestrated a series of fraudulent schemes that let Tricolor obtain billions of dollars from lenders and investors by misrepresenting the value of its loan collateral

You can't make this stuff up.

Prayerfully grateful from here that you (a) know they’re not the final authority and (b) act accordingly.
