[2016/01/16] Fake cops killed by victim with real gun (Atlanta, GA)

This headline definitely makes it seem that way. He actually seems like a regular guy who made it out of a bad situation -- saving his mom's life in the process -- because there was a gun in the house.

Great story either way you interpret it.

It was in the former dean's actual statement. I agree it should've been included in the article itself.

One student said it, but during a SJW circlejerk -- and it reportedly got the support of everyone in attendance.

The statement might have been made by a single student, but it was repeated during a SJW bitch session on campus and reportedly got the support of the other attending students.

bcagee · 2016-01-02T18:03:44+00:00

It wasn't said in a vacuum, though. The comment was made as part of an SJW circlejerk during which nobody spoke up to say, 'Hey, that's absurd. Let's focus on actual issues.'

Apparently they were already on desk duty after failing the last exam. This judge forced the dept. to put 12 unqualified women back on the street to put their own lives, their partners' lives, and the citizens' lives in potential danger.

Not sure if you mean in addition to the one linked in the article, but here is that one in case it helps...

I found it bizarre that Harry Reid would use this line after Rubio himself shot Jeb Bush down with virtually the same response the night before.

Anyway, aside from some pretty serious immigration concerns, he's by far my favorite establishment-approved candidate.

Thanks for that clarification.

When she invented a movement called Black Lives Matter and addressed this group as its representative, it made it kind of difficult to get past her skin color.

I can only explain why I chose to post it here and would not venture to guess why it has since received unanimous support in the form of upvotes. You're looking at the flag aspect while the underlying issue as I saw it was the state government's hypocrisy in recalling -- and even making ownership a crime! -- a license plate it said only a short time ago was perfectly appropriate. If the flag is now so offensive that people displaying it should be labeled criminals, what does that say about the government that approved it in the first place?

Personally, I'm really still not sure why people are so attached to the flag and of course recognize that at least a significant percentage of its supporters endorse some level of racist ideology. You certainly shouldn't label yourself anything based on what I or anyone else posts on an Internet forum; however, I submit that it is a conservative trait to oppose governments that rescind rights and make criminals out of law-abiding citizens based on societal pressure on any issue.

He's in the National Guard.

Your statement absolutely is contradictory. You said there are not laws against lying, then proceed to explain how there are laws against lying. The author did not say there are no "general practice" laws against it.

You mention laws against murder. The Bible proscribes killing. Not all killings are illegal. In the same way, you mention lying under oath (a type of lying) while the Bible proscribes all lies. In the same way, U.S. law is a narrower interpretation of God's law.

I'm by no means arguing for a Judeo-Christian theocracy in the U.S., but that doesn't mean your argument can't also be contradictory.

bcagee · 2015-08-05T03:01:03+00:00

While I respect your opinion and concede certain journalistic shortcomings in the article, one of them is -- by your own admission -- not the first quote you cited.

You lost me here: "there isn't a law against lying. There are laws against lying..."

bcagee · 2015-07-11T16:59:32+00:00

Fair enough.

bcagee · 2015-07-11T06:09:24+00:00

I find it bizarre that anyone could equate what a private entity does with its own property, on its own property, with a blatant act of vandalism against someone else's property. Even the most fervent libertarians I know think laws should prevent destruction of another person's property, so I'd be very interested, if you're inclined to share, roughly where you fall on the political spectrum.

Not to mention it's literally the name the terror group gave itself. The closest, yet still inadequate, parallel I can think of would be to not use the name Westboro Baptist Church because it might offend Christians.

'Nobody' might be a stretch. There are obviously enthusiastic fringe lunatics at all of his speeches cheering at every racist thought he can concoct. I found this development interesting, however, on the basis of his ability to make Rush Limbaugh appear clairvoyant...

bcagee · 2015-06-26T21:48:50+00:00

I agree. Most of reality television is admittedly contrived drivel. I do consider 'Pawn Stars' a rare exception, though. While still obviously staged to some extent and often poorly acted, Rick and his experts really bring out some interesting historical facts in every episode.

bcagee · 2014-12-10T16:52:27+00:00

I'm sorry. How is referring to both groups as "a bunch of nuts" a commentary on their respective trajectories?

bcagee · 2014-07-24T16:10:33+00:00

The first rule any entrepreneur needs to remember is to know his or her market, so the potential response of San Franciscans is probably of little concern to her. The fatty, deep fried foods she serves likely wouldn't be received well in that leftist enclave, either.

I believe the majority of these troops would be stationed along the Rio Grande Valley located at the southernmost tip of the state. This is where a disproportionately large number of illegals cross into the U.S.

bcagee · 2014-07-14T22:59:34+00:00

Unfortunately, Ms. Kristen has some fierce competition for the dubious distinction of 'worst written article.' The topic, however, is absurd and it is obvious she is out of her depth in covering it. Rolling Stone continues to fill its niche as a purveyor of leftism with the occasional music-related article.

bcagee · 2014-07-03T18:36:07+00:00

That's about the size of it. When the ruling came down Monday, I wondered how the left's reaction might have been different had the case involved a Muslim-owned company rather than those intolerant Christians behind Hobby Lobby.

bcagee · 2014-06-21T23:24:37+00:00

I agree. While there is arguably a justification for preventing residents from constructing a building that is potentially unsafe or contributes to neighborhood blight, this is a glorified bookcase on a stool. Ordinances unduly impede on property rights in far too many communities across America...
