    Perhaps he thought he would be made a hero like y'all made on out of this guy,,,,

    (KENOSHA, Wis.) — Prosecutors on Thursday charged a 17-year-old from Illinois in the fatal shooting of two protesters and the wounding of a third in Kenosha, Wisconsin, during a night of unrest following the weekend police shooting of Jacob Blake.

    Are we playing a game? What are the possibilities? I only have one die. You'll have to limit the options to six.

    What are you talking about? There is nothing in the report to indicate motive. I'm sure there were other cops engaged in gunfire yesterday. What's so special about this?

    Are we discarding the standard answers of violent video games and mental illness? Is BLM the new GTA?

    At this point we don't even know if the shooter knew they were cops.

    We have his mugshot and name. To some, that means "Vote for Trump." I guess. Pretty weak thread. There's another one about a woman stopping a trespasser. Really mind-numbing stuff.

    It's a forum. Let me help explain what forums are for.
    Forum:
    1.
    a place, meeting, or medium where ideas and views on a particular issue can be exchanged.
    "it will be a forum for consumers to exchange their views on medical research"


    So here we are, discussing issues. If you read the OP you might be able to figure out what the thread is about. Do you really need help understanding what the thread is about? Nobody cares that you don't like what we discuss. You just have to accept it and get over it so to speak because that is what this forum is for. You aren't the one that decides what we can talk about. Maybe we just don't know how influential you are but frankly nobody cares.

    Acuna is seen here posing for the definition of the word "surly" in the dictionary.

    Is that right? I thought a forum was a place where we supported our arguments with facts, which you have failed to do. There is nothing in the OP to support your claims, which makes those claims pure propaganda.

    I asked you what your point was. That you take this as "deciding what we can talk about" is quite bizarre. I could just do like Trump's clan and type "fake news," but I prefer some substance. Do you have anything to substantiate your claims?

    Easy

    Pointing out the increase in violence towards police due to inaccurate and hyperbolic left wing narratives.

    Hell, you haven't challenged anything that I have said. I haven't' made any claims. So far it's all been nonsense trolling about what you think we should talk about or think. And you didn't ask what the point is. You inferred that there is no point. Are you lying about what you said or are you just in error? Here is your post. Please point out where you asked what the point was.

    I think BLM is a very good reason why we need much more forceful and extensive gun control in this country. Do you agree?

    Might be some kind of gang initiation. Kind of a guessing game at this point.

    Its the left, what do you expect. They're moving from words to now actions. They tried to execute two deputy sheriffs in CA and now they're moving it to AZ

    It's the "due to" part that nobody has shown. I doubt this kid has any interest in politics. Maybe a gangbanger. Nobody knows.

    Yes, that crossed my mind too. Pretty dumb gang, but it would make sense.

    No doubt he has no interest in politics, but clearly he hates the police and there is a lot of false narratives out there demonizing police coming from democrats and the groups they support like BLM.

    BLM calls for police to be killed, and dems praise them.

    If you dont think thats had anything to do with the drastic increase is police deaths then...ok you dont have to.

    But it clearly has.

    You don't know this kid is "the left." Trump has plenty of Hispanic support in Arizona. His parents could easily be Trump supporters.

    If the shooter were white, and the people he shot at were BLMob members, I'm sure your opinion would be different.
    But hey - they're only cops, and since cops kill unarmed blacks, its OK.

    Highly unlikely, hatred of the police and attacks on them are largely coming from the left, as they are more prone to supporting and believing false narratives from BLM/Dems that are driving these attacks.

    That's a fine argument, but it has nothing to do with this incident. Everybody that shoots cops isn't working for BLM.
