With the other events going on this will probably get overshadowed, but a legend died today. https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/tom-petty-on-life-support-after-being-found-unconscious-tmz/

Yep. I imagine in the coming days we will find out that a significant portion of the injuries and possibly even fatalities were due to crush and stampede injuries as opposed to gunfire.

If it was a false flag, I'm putting my money on the NFL being behind it. We haven't argued about protests all morning. I mean, that's no more ridiculous of an idea than any other false flag theory, right?

That is the username as a former member here. He was, let's just say, a fun time.

I believe this is what is known by the technical term "wishful thinking."

Gonna call the HPA dead as well. Hillary already tweeted about how a suppressor would have made it harder for the victims to run away from the sound of gunshots.

It is my understanding that the wife, who was the person of interest, is out of the country. As I posited earlier, I think her departure precipitated this event. As far as the story about this woman saying crazy ####, I think it is either an unfortunate coincidence of a drunken rant or more likely, after the fact made up bull####.

Anything is when you have tightly packed targets and a metric ####ton of ammunition. I'm going to call this as having no real political or ideological basis. I think it's going to turn out to be a late-middle-aged white dude who went off the deep end after his mail order wife left him.

I've got a couple of lowers needing building already and figure I need to grab at least one more so I can build an AR up for each of the kiddos. Of course daddy is thinking about getting into the .300BO game as well. It's the most wonderful time to be a gun fondler. I too am eagerly awaiting the holiday sales. And your vulture analogy is probably more spot on than some might think as I imagine that the end of this holiday season will also leave a few more corpses of gun sellers in its wake.

When I compare this post to the title of this thread I come away a little bit perplexed.

Your lack of self awareness is simply stupefying. Wow. Just wow.

I wasn't aware that Dave and I had such similar thought processes that it wouldn't be wholly obvious to the reader what wasn't his original writing. My bad. Nope, and I clearly stated I did so, no apologies owed or proffered. Im not going to engage in any more tit for tat back and forth about the way I made my post because it is pointless except to further exemplify the manner in which folks approach the original subject at hand. Y'all are seizing upon a minor and inconsequential point of how something was presented to avoid the main issue. Just as y'all seized on my manner of post by edit, y'all are seizing on a supposed show of disrespect (while ignoring things such as Mac's post that showed the format changed from sitting out to kneeling after discussions with veteran groups) to avoid the fact that these protests are being undertaken to draw attention to the issue of needed reforms in American policing. Nope. Instead we're gonna yap about how kneeling is so disrespectful in this instance where everywhere else it is a sign of submission, respect, or honor.

You might want to go back and re-read a few posts as it appears that you missed some things.

Because he stated something that was a subjective opinion as an objective fact. I adjusted it to reflect as such.

An interpretation of the situation that you're more than free to have. Just as I am free to interpret it in a very different matter. The only objective facts are that the players are engaging in an action and have stated the reasons for engaging in said action. After that it's all subjective, including any perceived disrespect.

Adjusted for accuracy's sake, but overall a correct assessment.

That's counter to the ability of folks to get outraged over this. Every time black folks have tried to speak up and protest about the need for police reform they've been told to do it differently. And now that some are using their platform to engage in a quiet, peaceful, nonviolent protest, it's being twisted into a nonsensical claim it is disrespectful to troops. I mean, I wish folks would just be honest and say what they really are thinking. "Shut up monkeys and entertain me. You're supposed to be dancing, not thinking!"

I just thought of a total upside to so many white folks getting pissed at the NFL over this. Maybe the fervor for spending tax payer dollars on new stadiums will come to an end. That'd be good for everybody.

I've made it through 3 episodes so far and can't agree with this statement enough. The two overwhelming emotions are sadness and anger.

Bravo guys. Bravo.

Please tell me you're not serious. If you are, then you failed to learn any of the lessons that the end of prohibition taught us. I mean, when was the last time that Anheuser-Busch and Coors had their employees get into a shoot out over who controlled what territory for distribution? Will legalization end the instances of when the addict gets high/drunk and beats his wife? No. But prohibition doesn't stop that either. Will legalization end the campaigns of terror waged by large well-funded criminal organizations to control distribution and territory? If the way the end of prohibition brought the gangster era of the 1920s to a screeching halt is any clue, then the answer is absolutely yes it will. Legalization won't solve every problem, but it will greatly reduce the harm and funding of large criminal organizations that make the trade of narcotics so deadly. But just like the end of prohibition, the gangsters will find another way to wage their campaigns of terror on the citizenry, just like they did last time when they enacted the 34 NFA.

I've said it before, I'll say it again as many times as it takes. If you really want to do something effective about drug use/abuse then you will stop treating a health issue as a criminal one. I know it will be totally counterintuitive, especially to some of the LE types, but the true path forward is legalization.

My 6yo daughter just got a Daisy Red Ryder for her birthday. I got to say that there's no better bang for my particular buck.
