Free Republic

Both sides sound idiotic.

Such astonishing ignorance on your part, it is no wonder you think anyone would be moved by your disapprobation.

“He shouldn’t have…..!”
Why not blame it on the demon liquor?
Reintroduce the Volstead Act?

Justice Idealism.
Things like this should never happen…but they do.
They should be all put away for life…won’ bring him back from the dead.

Victim Responsibility
He shouldn’t have been there at 2AM?
He should have been polite to these thugs?
He failed in his situational awareness?
He gave his back to the most dangerous man there?
What did he say that triggered them?

Religion
Why would God allow this to happen?
It was his time?

Society
The assailants and the murderer were not illegal aliens, but what would you be saying if they were?
What if the murderer was a Black illegal?
What if the murderer was mentally ill?
What if the victim was elderly, or a pretty girl?
Blah blah blah.

If anyone would like some useful information on interpersonal violence may I suggest someone?

The author there consults with and trains police departments.
He and his wife also consult with Hollywood on “realistic” violence.
Check it out!
You won’t agree with everything.
He will call bs on your favorite martial arts system.
Just listen.
Let us know what you think?

Thanks!

Bracken was saying that the power outage would stimulate the riots but that the MUY’s would still be texting?

Congratulations on your acquisition.
The sling that will look right on it will be the one you use properly if you know how to “loop up” to stabilize it while taking long shots. You can read about all this in a book
“The Art of the Rifle” by Col. Jeff Cooper.
If it were mine I think a 1903 or 1907 style WWI sling would be just right.
Let us know how it shoots OK?

It was after the game.
I was also after last Christmas.
It was also sometime after the Norman invasion of England in 1066.

Thanks,

Stop saying that!
It could only possibly be true if open carry was not only permitted by actually practiced in statistically meaningful numbers.
Furthermore there is considerable hostility toward open carry advocates on all the gun forums.
You cant have it both ways.
Pick one only, either “Open carry is stupid!”
“I dont want to give up the elmentof surprise”
“Open Carry makes you a target”
or “An armed society is a polite society”
“More guns less crime”
“Guns deter criminals.”
Quit with the contradictions.
Pick one idea and stay with it!

Fire those senior federal officials first.

Survivorship Bias
This lawyer is a fine lawyer and you will truly learn from him, about the specific cases and laws with which he is dealing.
HOWEVER! His channel, just like many others, does not trade in successful LEO encounters.
You only hear about this because the officer’s behavior was incorrect.
He sometimes will point this out in some of his videos.
You become energized even outraged over something the very nature of which is rare.
Selection Bias
There are many channels featuring defense attorneys. Never did one of them post a video about how as a stupid defense attorney he got his client convicted!
There are no cop channels showing stupid felons getting arrested normally and being convicted through good police work.

Not really.
Beware of taking Hollywood movie tropes as fact.
The last person legally hanged for horse theft was in England in 1820 IIRC.
There were lynchings I think but I don’t know how rarely it happened.

It doesn’t work to designate.
The cooperative program will simply send funds where they want. If the children’s home for example got everything it wanted from designated giving then they would not receive from the CP.
Get out of the SBC!
Please correct me.
Thanks!

Only Trump is capable of telling the leftist to shut their mouths?
It would be helpful if those on the right would finally admit that the left wants us dead. That is what they say. Why not just believe them?

Right.
Group identity dynamics is a marketing phenomenon, particularly political marketing. It is stupid to fall for it, and people are plenty stupid enough.

You will remember how Muslims around the world danced in the streets in celebration of their great “victory” over the great satan on 9/11/2001.
You should also remember that our side was very reluctant, even negligent about recognizing that we were at war. The major news outlets immediately stopped showing that footage.

Now our leftist enemies are celebrating and we wonder if our side will see that we are at war.

The left is using moral rhetoric. When the assassin called Kirk a fascist, he never actually believed him to hold the views of the Italian collectivist totalitarians of 1935. That is ridiculous. He intended to invoke the moral justification used by the Allies in WWII, or even more appropriately, the justification of Stalinists over destroying Germany and Italy in 1944 and ‘45.

This is a good answer mostly, although the logic of the argument does not apply to the god of the Calvinists who is more than capable of preventing anything from happening.

Malicious compliance. I concur.
And possible “outrage bait”.
MAGA has never had any problem with legal immigrants, but must be made to look unreasonable in the media. And commenters here, suckers, fell for it.

Three ongoing offenses: DEI, Decor ambiance, Food.
1) The woke DEI employee stuff stays in place.
Only the symbolic sign gets changed.
2) They are still gonna serve frozen biscuits, except on Saturdays and Sundays when there is somebody there doing the baking. Biscuits are done ahead of time and frozen. On Saturday morning do you even get fresh then? Bacon is precooked frozen ahead and heated in the oven.
3) The sterile dining room look also stays.
Do they even do the turnip greens in a pot on the stove anymore?
Don’t trouble yourself over another corporate death.

Thanks for your comment!
If you wonder, the people there make sharp between those in Northern Ireland, who are English by country and Ullish by heritage, and those in the country of Ireland who are not.

Not one penny for their defense.
Special relationship cancelled.
Recognize what these people really are and act accordingly.
