34. I myself wonder the ratio of paranoia vs. anti-govermental talk out there, every single day
Mon May 6, 2013, 03:27 AM
May 2013

people bombarded with anti-Obama type talk, hate the government, the burn it down crowd
that thinks V for vengence is a left wing hero, wearing masks like its Halloween with V's picture over it, even though its a movie

playing video games, playing characters, charades,

listening to rush and glenn and the alt-media crowd with their loud voices but so little in number like the total members of hte nra and yes there are lots of guns out there, and lots of bullets, but the total number of people with guns are very few, especially in the big cities
with the good security and extra protection.

listening to lies like Wakefield and all the other conspiracy theorists who peddle that smut

the mob like rah rah rah hate hate hate crowd

the protesters that started a few years back, mostly anarchists and chaotic types that went to economic summits and threw rocks

the ones that whine when they burn it down then don't like being arrested

unlike the coordinated protests in the past, where they got arrested, accepted it, in and quickly out without the whine, quick and done, the protest and the arrest

the true legends like Martin Sheen (a favorite of Boston isn't he?) and the others who were real cause people. It was symbolism not anarchy

It was NOT arsonist like burn it down just to enjoy the ashes

We can eradicate some cancers now, we have vaccinations for eradicating many diseases,
but those anti-types, like the frauds Wakefield keep bringing them back.The anti-s wanting their independence to George Bailey like jump off the bridge and take everyone else with them without accepting the help of Clarence.

ah the good old days the Norman Rockwell white white picket fence days that 80% of the democratic party actually thought sucked, not very good old Happy Days for the 80%

yeah, the 80% get screwed while the 20% play.(Even founding father Thomas Jefferson was part of that 20% crowd in his famous "All men that looked and acted like Tommy were equal and no one else was).

yup, agree with the OP, time to render the 20% politically obsolete, and let the 80% get on with their life.

The 80% that don't want to burn things down just to play in the ashes.

i guess its where you fire the warning shot, and hope if you need it the next round chambers. loli phabay May 2013 #29
Aren't warning shots fired first? RC May 2013 #37
not by US police they are not, for a couple of reasons, one you dont where the round will go loli phabay May 2013 #38
Then why do the Germans do it? MannyGoldstein May 2013 #46
no idea why the germans do warning shots i know the brits dont do them or at least did not. loli phabay May 2013 #47

LWCAPHS moondust May 2013 #27
the german police surely practice with thier firearms. Probably thousands of rounds per officer geckosfeet May 2013 #30
Maybe.... defacto7 May 2013 #33
Shooting unarmed suspects is of course unacceptable. geckosfeet May 2013 #36
believe it or not but not all officers practice these skills, on average the gun enthusiast puts in loli phabay May 2013 #39
That might explain the stories we hear about police firing many rounds under stress with few hits. geckosfeet May 2013 #53
