I wonder if they found his new address and we’re going to try and burn him out again. The timing seems odd.

Your comments are hurtful. Be that as it may, I did think you were painting every law enforcement officer with your broad brush, but I was hoping I was wrong. People with your mindset have been responsible for a lot of pain and misery over the years.

Who are “they”?

Of course you don’t. You’re just a sweet kid who doesn’t knit his own socks, preferring instead to order online using your personal squawk box constructed from petroleum products, buying from countries polluting Mother Earth at an alarming rate, using non-sustainable products, made in sweatshops by child/forced laborers working 12-15 hours a day, placed on trucks and cargo ships that chug across the vast oceans leaving a trail of destruction all along the way, placed on trucks that burn fossil fuel in and ultimately delivered to in a most decidedly eco-painful packaging that you will quickly cast off to our ever expanding landfills. Knit you own socks man. Save the planet. Be bold. Be Biden.

Brother 5–have at it. Hide in the cellar. Dim the lights. Knit your own socks. Send all your money to your betters to redistribute. On the 4th, mask up, eat tofu and speak in hushed tones. You’ll be saving us all. But be nicer on the comments regarding Lindsey G. Humor at the expense of others creates negative energy that dents butterfly wings in the Arctic, which—you guessed it, contributes to the climate calamity that befalls us.

Between a max of 4 people on July 4th and 4 pounds per year this nitwit is going to ruin summer for the very docile.

It’s very possible his aides were f’ing with him and he’s got his underwear on his face.

Amazing. It takes a rudimentary understanding of cartels and human nature to imagine the horrors that individuals have faced at the southern border for decades. It really takes 19 bodies in 2021 to see the tragedy? This is a drop in the bucket. The UN sees these people as disposable. The US government over the past 5 decades sees the suffering as irrelevant. A large segment of the American population sent a loud and clear message about the relative worth of the victims by sending Biden—a guffawing douche in his twilight years who enriched himself all along the way—-to the White House. But sure, hand wringing helps too.

That’s a question for the ages and the Bride of Frenklestein. I’m just wondering if weddit woes are weally weal.

Go in peace.

I explained the “trying” in the same sentence. Are you suffering from buffering? I’m considering buying a gun as well. I spoke with a friend in law enforcement who has a range, offers instructions on safe use of firearms. I have many friends that are Democrats, and they scare me as much as the friends—quite a few Dems included—who lawfully and peacefully own guns. That is to say, not at all. Here’s the good news for the “take away guns” crowd, I’m also thinking about buying a motorcycle, since 1985. Chances are good I’ll procrastinate in perpetuity. Invite people with other points of view into your life. Ratchet the anger down a few notches. The life our friend apparently chooses to pursue is good for everyone except those who want to divide. As you go, others may go as well. It’s the human condition.

Dude, it’s Weddit weal.

I think @Over 29 years of fanhood really falls more into the “I try to live a life of inclusion and respect for others” category. It’s probably hard to see with your eyes closed and your mouth running about everybody else’s limitations. Sometimes it’s ok to just acknowledge that someone else is trying.

It’s been quite a journey tonight. Tucker Carlson to CVS to riots are like hurricanes to Trump to Obama to Christie to Praeger U to Dr. Carol Swain. All in just an hour or two.

It drives me nuts. I can’t recall from the video, but seems to me there were 4 or 5 people in the video. Let’s recap who stepped up to save this girl: Person 1, nothing. Person 2, nothing. Person 3, nothing. Person 4, nothing. Person 5, fighting for her life. Reporters in natural habitat: Why was the officer so slow? Why was he so fast? Why did the officer not shoot at a calf or foot, (as we know, there are no arteries in a leg). Why do you train officers to try and stop the loss of life through application of deadly force? Why not just yell “NO KNIFE BULLYING!”? The mayor needed to nut up and say, “The loss of life is tragic, but we can’t allow people to stab others in the neck and it appears the officer did what he could to prevent that.”. Sorry, I defer to young lady here. And it’s perfectly acceptable to try and figure out how things went so wrong for her, the mental health Issues and the like, but jeesh, you’d think a forced tracheotomy to a person who doesn’t want or need one would be enough here.

Another question might be “For the Chief or Mayor, had that young lady not been trying to kill that other girl by stabbbing her in the neck, might the outcome have been different?”.

The concept of law and order requires most of the population following the concept of law and order. When you flip the script and suggest law and order is the problem, things go sideways.

A friend of mine was part of the NYS Police support team who assisted troopers and their families after the death of a Trooper, serious injury or loss, emotional support after this sort of thing. With very few exceptions, the people in uniform are significantly impacted by the things they see on a daily basis. Suicides. Child abuse. Violent death. Car accidents. Drug ODs. Sexual assault. General disregard for the value of human life. Another guy who retired from our local force a few years ago said he just couldn’t stand the thought of one more day seeing things he couldn’t forget. Add this sort of thing in—whether or not he did the “right” thing, he wakes up everyday knowing he ended the life of another human being. Horrible.

I misunderstood. This is what I was replying to with regard to the people who play NFL football specifically: We need to stop viewing major sports as we do an average Joe's 9 to 5. It's not the same and it's not governed the same. So when they are in "uniform" they have the right to do whatever they like. I don't remember any athlete kneeling during a game, I remembered it being done before the game even starts so what is the problem? I interpreted that as suggesting the athletes were special cases, and I apparently misread the first paragraph and thought you had said they are not like you and I. My bad there, sorry for the confusion. CK is Colin Kaepernick. At times, I feel like I’m one of the last people in America that welcomes debate. I’ve come to the conclusion that you and I believe the same thing. Athletes are people like you and I; They have opinions and express them; People will have opinions about their opinions; Some people may stop watching the NFL because of that, others may not; Debate is good; I really had no idea how you individually felt about the socks, I only know how I felt about them. I never suggested it was. We agree on Trump’s comments about the NFL, I’m happy to move on from that. I agree with you on being able to wear a hoodie, but at the risk of derailing the topic again, my thoughts are that Trayvon Martin interacted with the wrong crazy, the wrong way, on the wrong day. He reacted the way young men do sometimes, physically and aggressively, and while he had every right to be outraged, he should not have attempted to beat the crazy out of Zimmerman. I have two boys, and one of my many life lessons shared with them is that you never know who the &$#@ is on the other side of the rage. Actually, I shared that with my daughter as well, who was assaulted by some crazy drunk chick in a bathroom on NYE a few years back. Thankfully she remembered part two of the lesson—if confronted and unable to extricate, eyes on the aggressor backing away, by all means fight like your life depends on it. His life ended tragically and it would not have had he not encountered Zimmerman, but he was not assasinated in the street. Chauvin—we agree. I’m not sure about the snow reference but I’m sure I agree. The young lady shot the other day was tragic for all involved. Her, her family, the bystanders and the officer. The young lady being assaulted may be the only beneficiary of the day.

Any guy who refers to himself as “King” may be slightly full of himself.

You bet. I don’t think I implied you said that, but if that’s the way it appears to you I certainly didn’t mean to. My point was simply that having an opinion on kneeling, and having an opinion on people that have an unfavorable opinion about those who are kneeling boil down to the same thing. Swing and a miss #2. Since everyone is entitled to an opinion, athletes are clearly entitled to theirs. You mentioned initially that athletes were special cases, I don’t see it that way, or at least not as it relates to the majority. I feel extremely comfortable in saying I can live to watch games, respect and admire athleticism, yet not be particularly interested in much more than that in most cases., I agree on owners, they figured out how to keep things going. On the ownership group, btw, much was made about CK not being on a team post protest. Seems they expressed their opinion on more than just kneeling. Was that cool with you? That’s fine, but the kneeling during the anthem and/or ‘cops are pigs’ socks wasn’t a hot button issue for you. If it is for someone else—maybe a police officer, son of an officer etc—and they feel differently, that’s their call. I didn’t like Trump’s comments, but passion for the anthem and/or the flag predates DJT by a couple hundred years.

Another way to say it is the officer saved the other girl from serious injury or death, was put in a position that no sane person would ever want to be in, and likely will carry the emotional effects of taking the life of that girl for the duration of his.

The TV folks at RCA called the police and told ‘em to cut the carp, just like now. Before Big Pharma was in bed with five-0, it was Big Telly. Btw they wanted to tell ‘em to cut the crap but they couldn’t get it past the censors.

I saw an episode on The Sopranos, where Tony met with the Board of Director at CVS to set up the money laundering Op. He tried to shake down the Triscuit folks but they are backed up by the crew out of Sweden. Stone cold blonde killers slathered in SPF 50, the Swedes. Art imitates life I guess.

Just remember what they always say—it’s on all of us, just on some of us more.
