A tenther gone kuku!
A terror attack indeed. The Aurora theater massacre and other mass shooting horrors are still painfully fresh in the minds of those who lost their near & dear ones or who were there.
My condolences to the families of the victims.
The US population grew from 150 million before World War II to 320 million today – over doubling in size. The rapid growth will continue to an estimated 439 million by 2050. More and more people jammed into the same geography competing for the same resources on obama's part time minimum wage fast food economy. If you think there's problems now ... you ain't seen nothing yet!
This story just reinforces the reasons we need more guns in more hands. Just think about it, if everyone had a gun, this incident probably wouldn't have happened.
Well placed sarcasm. Thanks@bobcat
Its not just population or 'demand & supply' problem. Its the very culture of violence that is pervasive in these times. Look at the past decade and how that has moulded our mindset.
Thank you saywhat for picking up on that. It's true, our culture has taken a very violent turn. There have always been murders and other gun related crimes, but the level we are seeing now is unprecedented. I can still remember in my long ago youthful days being able to walk the streets of Detroit, pretty much at any time of the day or night and not worry about the possibility of being shot. Now these shootings are happening in some of the most unlikely places. And some of the reasons given are as stupid as, "I just wanted to see how it felt."
And yet these black on black crimes do no get reported simply because there are too many and the liberal media has an obsession with white crime. Just look at cnns headline about 50 cent. "50cent pleads not guilty to violence charge". Now how many headlines have we seen on here that read "man accused of DOMESTIC violence charge". Straight up bias CNN. Par for the course
I believe the discussion here was about the change in our culture, from what was a somewhat less violent state to the present. What did that have to do with the purported bias of CNN ?
U talk about what u want to talk about and I'll talk about what I want to. Sound familiar bobcat?
Why would that sound familiar "Timmy" ?
And while you're at it "Timmy" you might want to call for Lassie. "Timmy".
U have a very short memory bobcat. I remember a short time ago someone was speaking ill of your jokes. You sir replied EXACTLY what I said above. I have nothing against older folks but when you remember a tv show character from sixty years ago and can't remember what u said five months ago. Damn. Lol. Have a good day sir and I look forward to your next joke
Yep. What do u expect. He was financially strapped, had everyone against him and the local government just decided to take the only thing he had and leave him in the streets.
Is anyone really surprised?
Give the guy a little understanding.
@ timmy. Black on black is boring as white on white.mix the races in a crime and u have something worth watching baby doll.
Ewwww bc. Timmy told u off. U gonna let him talk that way to u?
Lol
poor man...he echoed the same battle cry of the native american indians...what is a retired 64 year old guy on limited income to do???he was between a rock and a hard place and decided to come out shootin...he should be let off on temporary insanity and provocation...
they should write on the tombstone of the perp-victims: "no justice no peace"
Sure thing, Marshall Dillon.
You do know @ bobcat that timmy is just you know who right? And hes just trying to provoke you.
You mean "IT" is back ? It akes a lot more than that to ruffle my feathers.
How are you feeling my friend ?
Getting better @ bobcat, thanks for asking. Im finally able to speak again and im "almost" getting used to the cast on my foot lmao! And i should be since its the 7th time ive worn one on this foot.
