The posture on the guys with the guns... tenderfoot Nov 2013 #2

They fantasize about being heros. I wonder how many of them served in the military at some point? JDPriestly Nov 2013 #186

What are you talking about? They know all about the military. lpbk2713 Nov 2013 #204

Probably "near veterans." delta17 Nov 2013 #216

That site is the military version of the Onion, right? Ineeda Nov 2013 #475

Yeah, it is pretty funny. delta17 Nov 2013 #500

Like some comedy movie: Are you a weapons expert? Yes, I have played Halo for over 10 years. vinny9698 Nov 2013 #266

You all got suckered. They're posing for a group photo, not facing the 'Mothers group. AtheistCrusader Nov 2013 #283

we got suckered? did these 40 assholes show up with their guns to intimidate 4 women or not? frylock Nov 2013 #291

I refer you to Tenderfoot's post. AtheistCrusader Nov 2013 #292

Look at those butt-nuggets with their hands on the triggers, as if they're "ready for combat" in a Erose999 Nov 2013 #480

None of them had their fingers on the triggers. Ranchemp. Nov 2013 #482

+1 (nt) Nine Nov 2013 #295

I think you've got a really fucked up interpretation of the word "suckered". EOTE Nov 2013 #304

Again, I refer you to Tenderfoot's post about their posture. AtheistCrusader Nov 2013 #306

Ahhh, so by "You all", you mean "This one guy" and by "suckered" you mean EOTE Nov 2013 #308

There are at least three top-level responses AtheistCrusader Nov 2013 #310

You pointed to one response and that response says NOTHING like you say it does. EOTE Nov 2013 #311

Oh please, it's right there in plain english. AtheistCrusader Nov 2013 #312

Why the hell are you running away from your own statements. EOTE Nov 2013 #315

I'm not running away from anything. AtheistCrusader Nov 2013 #318

Uh huh. So you think that the non-declarative statement the poster made is him being "suckered". EOTE Nov 2013 #321

He is a she. AtheistCrusader Nov 2013 #323

And what is that statement, exactly? If I were to garner a statement from that non-declarative EOTE Nov 2013 #331

It doesn't say 'the guys with the guns -facepalm'. AtheistCrusader Nov 2013 #336

It really hurts you to get specific, doesn't it? EOTE Nov 2013 #339

Not posturing, POSTURE. AtheistCrusader Nov 2013 #346

Your attack of a fellow DUer for rightfully going after these evil fucks is what's laughable. EOTE Nov 2013 #349

That's not an attack. AtheistCrusader Nov 2013 #350

You said they were "suckered" again for a non-declarative statement. EOTE Nov 2013 #352

That is not an attack. AtheistCrusader Nov 2013 #355

No, I'd have felt better if you didn't make such a stupid comment in the first place. EOTE Nov 2013 #363

Error. AtheistCrusader Nov 2013 #372

Christ, isn't it tiring being so pedantic? EOTE Nov 2013 #379

No, being pedantic normally helps. AtheistCrusader Nov 2013 #381

What was the poster's error again? EOTE Nov 2013 #385

I cannot simply any more than the post itself offers. AtheistCrusader Nov 2013 #387

Now you're not even providing full sentences. EOTE Nov 2013 #391

I'm going to wait for the original poster to clarify it for you AtheistCrusader Nov 2013 #394

You go ahead and do that. EOTE Nov 2013 #396

I firmly believe you are misconstruing the comment. AtheistCrusader Nov 2013 #402

I firmly believe you are talking out of your ass. EOTE Nov 2013 #408

And how surprising I'm NOT talking about the insults you gave to people you weren't even responding EOTE Nov 2013 #364

Yes, I speak in plural to individuals. "You all" AtheistCrusader Nov 2013 #367

So, I show you how incredibly stupid and baseless your attack on the person you ACTUALLY responded EOTE Nov 2013 #371

Begs the question. AtheistCrusader Nov 2013 #375

The poster wasn't misled. EOTE Nov 2013 #377

It is entirely relevant to their posture in that photo. AtheistCrusader Nov 2013 #383

And again, what was inaccurate about what the poster said? EOTE Nov 2013 #388

I have repeatedly explained. AtheistCrusader Nov 2013 #390

You haven't even come CLOSE to explaining. You've simply said that it's "self evident". EOTE Nov 2013 #393

Your 'evidence' is a fabrication, that is intentionally bereft of EVERY attempt I have made to AtheistCrusader Nov 2013 #400

Again, are you going to even attempt to present evidence? EOTE Nov 2013 #404

If you are so hell bent on interpreting it as a personal attack AtheistCrusader Nov 2013 #407

I don't use the alert button. EOTE Nov 2013 #410

Hidden posts can be viewed if one wishes. AtheistCrusader Nov 2013 #411

I know how DU works. EOTE Nov 2013 #413

If you REALLY believe AtheistCrusader Nov 2013 #418

I am under no obligation to alert on anything. EOTE Nov 2013 #422

Also, quit building strawmen. AtheistCrusader Nov 2013 #313

So why, exactly, did you accuse someone who didn't even make a declarative statement EOTE Nov 2013 #314

Poster didn't call them assholes. AtheistCrusader Nov 2013 #316

Uhhh, what part of "not a declarative statement" don't you understand? EOTE Nov 2013 #319

Keep ignoring the facepalm icon. AtheistCrusader Nov 2013 #322

Ahhh, so it's the facepalm icon that's the declarative statement. EOTE Nov 2013 #333

Again, posture. AtheistCrusader Nov 2013 #337

What OF their posture? EOTE Nov 2013 #340

Invented. AtheistCrusader Nov 2013 #347

YOU are the one who has repeatedly mentioned their posture. At least a good half dozen times now. EOTE Nov 2013 #351

Quit feigning outrage. AtheistCrusader Nov 2013 #354

Suggesting someone is a sucker is not an attack? Are you sure I'm feigning outrage? EOTE Nov 2013 #358

You're good at word games. AtheistCrusader Nov 2013 #362

If you truly thought that any one could have fooled by something, it was rather foolish to suggest EOTE Nov 2013 #365

They are synonyms. AtheistCrusader Nov 2013 #369

You should apologize to the poster, not to me. EOTE Nov 2013 #374

The comment is self-evident. AtheistCrusader Nov 2013 #380

Their postures were those of ignorant, alpha-male wannabe assholes. EOTE Nov 2013 #382

You are specifying a different usage of 'posture' than the context of that comment assumes. AtheistCrusader Nov 2013 #384

Posture could either mean their pose or their behavior. EOTE Nov 2013 #386

Says you. AtheistCrusader Nov 2013 #389

Uhhh, says the dictionary, champ. EOTE Nov 2013 #392

Yes, words do have fixed meanings. AtheistCrusader Nov 2013 #395

And what definition would that be, champ? EOTE Nov 2013 #398

Noun. Definition one. AtheistCrusader Nov 2013 #403

Uhhh, that's the one I mentioned champ. I mentioned it a few posts ago, were you not paying EOTE Nov 2013 #406

I did notice that, but you misconstrue it. AtheistCrusader Nov 2013 #409

I misconstrued nothing. EOTE Nov 2013 #412

First, I did not 'go after'. AtheistCrusader Nov 2013 #416

Suggesting that someone got "suckered" because of a perfectly reasonably comment EOTE Nov 2013 #420

I am casting aspersions. AtheistCrusader Nov 2013 #428

Brandishing is not the same as pointing or aiming. Nine Nov 2013 #326

No they weren't. AtheistCrusader Nov 2013 #327

Call the cops? You remind me of someone else on this thread. Nine Nov 2013 #335

You claim they are breaking the law. AtheistCrusader Nov 2013 #338

I never made the claim that they are breaking TX law. Nine Nov 2013 #341

Yes you did. AtheistCrusader Nov 2013 #348

Words have meanings beyond a narrow legal definition. Nine Nov 2013 #353

Flaunting I agree with. AtheistCrusader Nov 2013 #359

Doesn't really matter - it was agains the TX Penal Code AAO Nov 2013 #485

Calculated to alarm is informed by decades of case law. AtheistCrusader Nov 2013 #486

It meets the letter of the law. Done discussing. AAO Nov 2013 #492

That's not how it works in real life. AtheistCrusader Nov 2013 #493

Hows that? AAO Nov 2013 #494

Case law informs how officers enforce the black letter of the law. AtheistCrusader Nov 2013 #495

Well, I just read the law, and it seems to apply here, undeniably. AAO Nov 2013 #503

I can supply you state appeals court level decisions on this for my state, if you'd like. AtheistCrusader Nov 2013 #504

A political demonstration that intimidates with guns some mothers eating lunch? AAO Nov 2013 #505

It's a language nuance I think. AtheistCrusader Nov 2013 #506

I certainly appreciate your point of view. AtheistCrusader Nov 2013 #509

I have. AtheistCrusader Nov 2013 #445

The context was that these thugs chose it upon themselves... Tommy_Carcetti Nov 2013 #476

And you'll note, I'm not excusing the behavior. AtheistCrusader Nov 2013 #477

You will at least admit the intimidation was there, right? Tommy_Carcetti Nov 2013 #479

I can see how it can be threatening. AtheistCrusader Nov 2013 #481
