    Except that I did it for a tragedy involving a white perpetrator, sure.

    Be nice if it included some more information. How often is the crime from middle class African Americans? I don’t have the research but I bet that percent is extremely low.

    You asked for a supposition, not a dissertation.
    Morality, or the lack thereof, speaks more to the value someone places on the life of another, than wealth, or the lack thereof.

    Gave up on trying to discredit the fact 53% of murders in the US are committed by blacks, eh? Smart.

    I honestly don't think they report on murders because they care about their people I think they do it so they can get ratings. People don't want to hear about the usual things. So if the news discusses the usual things they lose ratings

    Local news can discuss almost anything they want, their ratings are generally stable and their viewer loyalty is generally very good. Only in liberal utopias like Detroit, Chicago, Baltimore, do you have enough murders to cover them every day or numerous times a week. Outside of such shitholes local news caters to the community, and reporting on crime is a community service, also local news is far more likely to do follow up on the cases they cover...

    1: You know this is not true
    2: You cannot prove otherwise
    3: You are still in violation of the board rules.

    If it is so far from the truth why do you bother denying it. Don't you think everyone knows what is true and what isn't?

    You would be busting me...if I was not posting the whole "cold bodies" comment in an effort to make folks recognize the hypocrisy going on.

    I have no problem politicizing an event because I want to respond to tragedies with solutions.

    And yet, none of your "solutions" would stop the tragedy in question, or prevent another like it.
    You simply want to restrict the rights of the law abiding and are happy to stand on innocent bodies to do it.

    I'm sure the mods will be in touch.
    You know this statement is false.

    Discussing your nonsense is not denying nor defending anything ~

    I just got home from town where I had my snow tires put on and made a trip to Walmart. As usual I had my CC pistol with me. For some reason when I left this morning and put my 38 in the inside pocket of my Levi jacket I thought, is this really necessary? Apparently it is.

    I'm guessing nutjob. It's one thing to be bitter or even have anger issues, but this guy has a screw loose. Unfortunately, I strongly doubt there is a cure for what ails him. He'll spend the rest of his life in prison and probably get shivved in a few years for being an nutjob a***ole.

    It never hurts to be prepared, but the odds of you ever having to use a weapon in self-defense are slim to none.

    I carry guns in all my cars but rarely carry one on me for various reasons.

    BTW, there were a number of patrons carrying, caused some delay by the police, and yet they didn't stop the crime. Must have been off duty. !!

    How many were carrying and why do you think they didn't stop the crime? Was it because a CCW person in the dairy section who heard a few shots at the front of the store couldn't have stopped a nutjob who walked in, shot three people at the checkout then walked out?

    Why do you think this negates the fact 53% of murders in the US are committed by blacks?
    Per capita, that 7x more than whites.
    But hey! Gun control is the answer!

    By the time this story has run its course, we all will have used them.

    You’re using them right now. Me, too.

    Big deal.

    Probably a lawful weapon owner until he decided to start shooting people in the store but remember the gun owners famous mantra: guns don't kill people, people do.
