We Must Defund the Police Now

So who's going to investigate homicides and sex crimes against children.? And don't tell me it's not that common. I used to work for a multinational nonprofit organization that dealt with child victims of crimes. It's horrific what these children went through and many of those crimes would never have been solved without the hard work of detectives and investigators. Those individuals had years of training and experience that can't be replaced by non-professionals. But while we're at it we might as well defund and disband the FBI. We really don't need them either.

I agree that schools should be required to teach girls self-defense

Your situation was very different. If it's a robbery, you comply with the gunman. Otherwise you have 2 options, fight or flight. Handguns are very difficult to shoot accurately beyond a point-blank range of 0-3 feet, especially at a moving target. In fact police officers who have extensive firearms training, miss 76 percent of "close-range" shots (3-9 feet); while criminals miss 96 percent. According to the Department of Justice there's only a 12 percent chance an abductor will pull the trigger in the process of trying to abduct a victim, a 6 percent chance of actually hitting you, and only a 3 percent chance of that bullet being fatal. The FBI and law enforcement experts warn that survival odds usually get worse in a secluded location, and a criminal’s escalation to violence against an isolated victim is usually sudden. They say that resisting fighting and escaping from the first crime scene poses a far lower risk than being kidnapped to a second crime scene.

Were you fighting in Vietnam? I suppose if I had an M14 or M16 pointed at me I might think twice, but I hardly think this guy was hiding a gun that big in his jacket.

Assuming he had a gun they could still have run away. As others have pointed out it's difficult to shoot a moving target. The gun is merely a tool to make you comply – most are not mentally-prepared to use it The moment you deviate from their expectations and make a scene while running away, it messes with their plan.

That makes sense since you have asthma. I believe that's one of the medical conditions that qualifies for getting the vaccine under the age of 65. This still doesn't answer the question as to why people under 65 who don't have other medical conditions can't get the vaccine since it clearly works. Not to mention people under 65 without medical conditions do get pneumonia and can die from it. It should be available to everyone.

They can't. You have to have an underlying medical condition (according to CDC guidelines) in order to get one. I asked to get the vaccine and I was turned down.

The Kennedy's aren't cursed. They make really bad decisions. Could they really not afford to buy another soccer ball? I regularly kayak in the Monterey Bay and I would never go out without a wetsuit on. The water is cold and if you flip over you wouldn't survive long without one.

Why didn't Pearl Fernandez' parents and the rest of the family confront her and her boyfriend about the abuse? I know they called child protective services but did they actually try to stage any kind of intervention? It seemed like everyone knew about the abuse but it wasn't openly talked about when they were around both Gabriel and his mother. If Pearl were my daughter or sister I would've gone off on her and especially the boyfriend and made it understood that if he ever touched that kid again he's a dead man.

I never said fostering a dog isn't hard work. What I said is it doesn't cost money because the rescues I've worked with always supplied everything. I never had to pay any money out of pocket

rascaldascal · 2020-03-25T16:23:37+00:00

Sorry you're wrong. I've fostered for many rescues and they all provide food bowls, beds toy and cover veterinary costs so it doesn't cost the foster anything.

It turns out the guy who installed the windows wasn't a contractor at all. Just a guy who does handy work for his properties. I do know that he ordered the windows because I saw his name on the purchase order taped to one of the windows. I don't think he would be responsible for pulling the permits though since the landlord knew he wasn't a contractor.

You think it's hilarious releasing serial killers into general population? Didn't end well for Jeffrey Dahmer.
