    it was a simple mistake, just got my cases mixed up.. nothing more, had I been obsessed with the case, I would not of forgot which case way which.... and got them confused

    but yeah, I have seen those folks obsessed with defending the killer and attacking the victim too... sadly

    either way, it really had nothing to do with this topic, which was the real point, the graphic was ridiculous

    The graphic fit exactly what the person was trying to convey.

    And is pretty much what happened.
    Who did Obama blame.... guns and Republicans, right ?
    Only because he couldn't blame racism this time.

    What it didn't fit is any reference whatsoever to George Zimmerman.

    guess we will just have to agree to disagree

    btw, I also agree with you that blaming this on guns is partisan nonsense.....

    what we really need is good free anonymous mental health care so the nuts that do these kinda things can get treatment even if they can't afford it

    Which is what the meme is pointing out.


    But I highly doubt these kind of nuts think they're nuts.

    As for this one, he was bragging online about what he was going to do.
    I don't think he was worried about it being "nuts"... his comments made it look like he was after a bit of fame.
    And achieved it.

    In other words... I don't think the health plan is relevant... because nuts don't think they're nuts.

    Who knows.

    You vote - yes? Then you are complicit in each and every case

    Tell me, as a voter have you approached your local representatives over all of the above - because THAT is what your first response is supposed to be in a democracy

    NOT buy more guns and dream of "freedom"

    no it wasn't, the person the cop killed was unarmed, and no one is saying cops should not be armed

    I agree, this was more about making a name for himself while committing suicide then anything else, he wanted people to know his name and remember him

    then it would not cost much to implement free mental care then... but if it prevents some, why not do it

    Yeah not sure how you do things in Australia but here we do not elect police, the BATFE, the FBI, or any other group that do these things.

    Not even a decent attempt on your part.

    Being able to own whatever I want is the definition of freedom.

    The meme showed how Obama politicizes these incidents and spins them the way he chooses.
    The meme had nothing to do with the actual events.
    Which directly relates to what the person said when they posted it.

    I think you're looking at the wrong picture again.

    that was not the message I got from the picture

    like I said, on the rest we agree

    the right is doing the same, like wrongly claiming it was a gun free zone to push a political view.... ect...

    Is that supposed to mean something? Say if a 300lb man is actively in the process of raping a 100lb woman, she's not supposed to use her gun to protect herself if the 300lb man is "unarmed"?

    Seriously wtf are you talking about?

    this was a shot, bleeding, out of breath, overweight person... we will never know exactly what happened

    we can only guess sense the cop was not wearing a copcam

    a justified shot, doesn't mean what the cop feared was actually what was happening

    by that logic the cop that shot the child with a toy gun could of really been shot and the kid was really evil, the cop made a mistake, even though the shot was justified legally

    both sides can be right... and the shot could still be justified

    I do not doubt the cop was afraid... but that doesn't mean what he feared was the reality of the situation....

    but again were getting off topic....

    Big Mike Brown? Who had just assaulted Officer Wilson in his car? Are we talking about the same guy here? It's been proven that Big Mike was pressing the attack again.

    Or did you not know that the case went to trial?

    the disputed action came later... outside the car.....

    no, that was not proven...

    the officer said he was scared, that makes it a justified shot, or in this case the unloading of his gun, it does not mean his fear was valid, same is true of the cop that shot the kid with a toy gun, scared, but not valid, sometimes cops get scared over things that did not really threaten them... that is reality

    there is sometimes a huge difference between the cop being legal in the right and actually being right

    the toy gun thing, etc.... just because it turned out to be a toy, does not mean the fear was not valid. We all know it's a toy, now... after the fact. But when you are looking down the barrel of this

    you can't tell me your fear isn't valid.....
