Helter Skelter is coming down fast...

plus he had THE stupidest haircuts too

Hair by Dutchboy!!

bowl haircut

Moe haircut...without the comic timing or the other Fab Three music talent.

More like a haircut from the 90s.

That man is a dick he even got the dick haircut.

Sounds like the "nice lady" took your words completely out of context...

Yep. Murphy's Law variant in operation; anything that can be misinterpreted by idiots WILL be misinterpreted.

If their heart is filled with this kind of hate, they will quite often do this deliberately. Just to see what kind of reaction they start. Or, if they are vitriolic enough, just to spread the hate a start something.

Frankly, anyone who spouts off like that to a stranger is far more likely to have, as she said, "...put hate in that boy's heart." Truly loving people don't spout off like that.

Yes.

...give her a couple of seconds to realize what you said...

She probably will quote Roseanne Rosanadanna: ..."Oh...never mind."

The worst part about this is how different groups and people keep coming up with all sorts of excuses, except the only reason this guy did this.
He's a racist little asshole, a dropout loser with no job, no prospects for a job, no intention of improving himself, just blame "Da blacks."

But we hear:

"He was on drugs!"
"He was on psychiatric drugs!"
"The government programmed him to kill!" (Heard that one from Alex Jones)
"He's part of the hate Christians groups!"

And this real dandy I've seen from several people:
"It was the victim/s own fault, since they didn't allow guns in their church!"

It wasn't the victims' fault, it's not like they were in Texas!

The pastor was actually a former senator who pushed an anti-gun agenda, and his church was a gun-free zone.

He didn't start the fire, but he made sure there weren't any extinguishers.

I can't agree with the anti-gun agenda...we live in a real world. The church as a gun-free zone? That I can agree with. I may not agree with many established religions but we live in a nation where, as long as they do not impinge on the rights of others, may freely worship.

Although there is a town in Texas which requires people to own and carry firearms (I don't know if this is still in effect). Check out dumblaws.com.

In an ideal world...we could say "I could kill you, but I won't, because it's wrong to do so," and it's not taken as a statement of egotism, but as a statement of one's own ethical code.

It's sad that even in the US we can't respect our own first amendment as it applies to others, or recognize when to say "enough" when their worship is actively threatening the rights of other individuals.

That town is actually Kennesaw, GA, who passed a law requiring that all heads-of-household own and maintain a functional firearm, unless they're prohibited from owning a gun, can't afford it, or have religious or moral objections against doing so. So the law is actually practically unenforceable. What's particularly interesting about their law, though, is that their crime rate dropped immediately after passing the law, even when compared to the national average, though neighboring Atlanta saw an increase in crime when they passed their anti-gun measures, which the Kennesaw law was a response to.

Looking for a town in Texas with similar laws leads me to Gun Barrel City, Texas, who passed a law that doesn't require, but supports heads of household owning a gun and ammunition, but doesn't even begin to suggest a requirement, much less actually change anything.

The very best justice for this punk is to let him into the general prison population. he will align with the skinheads, but will still be killed the first chance the prisoners have to get to him.

and yes, instead of the race war he wanted, he's getting race healing. the races coming together, not to observe their differences, but those things that make us all the same.
Like worshiping in a church. This will cause blacks and whites to worship the same God together, achieving the very thing hate failed to do. Love your neighbor. like the book says.

This would be happening, but unfortunately there are those on the left like Al Sharpton & Jesse Jackson who are more than willing to propagate the racial divide Dylann wanted.

Don't just accuse one side. Limbaugh and Hannity are bloviating as hard as they can their own special brands of hate.

Let's put things in context shall me. Last year the cops killed more people than all the mass shootings in this country in the last 50 years.

...

No...no, I'm not going to comment on this, no matter how badly I want to.

As you can see I lack your self control

Aaaaand I got a really weird.. Sovereign citizen-y response about common law etc in my notes. That was really weird, so I blocked him/her/it and moved on.

That's a good point, I suppose if someone is armed it's my duty to let them shoot me because it's my job? Or let them shoot other people, or cripple me or my partner? Maybe they're just pulling out guns because they want me to see what a cool gun they bought illegally after their previous auto theft convictions and the fact that the vehicle they're driving was reportedly carjacked is a system glitch. Clearly the human traffickers who throw big rocks at my head are only doing it to protect the Guatemalan woman that they 'allegedly' raped earlier from being returned to her country of origin after crossing two national borders illegally. Really they're all just good choir boys, never got in any trouble with the law despite their previous three associations with hard narcotics trafficking that weren't prosecuted because they were under 18 at the time.

I can go on, but seriously, you want to make these decisions, in fractions of a second when the wrong choice might mean your death, or the death of someone you're closer to than your own siblings, or a totally random stranger walking down the road? Apply, hack the academy, put on a uniform with a badge on it and patrol a beat.

Psst.... You forgot to mention that the number killed by gang violence in Chicago and Baltimore alone outnumber all police shootings for the entire nation.

But thats black on black crime, Therefor not important amongst the media and progressives.

Nah, I just didn't feel it was topically relevant

I want to ask a question to clarify...

How many of those people were killed because the officer in question genuinely recognized a life-or-death threat to self or other individuals?

I say genuinely to specify actual scenarios which can be backed by physical evidence, not mere hearsay.

I do not wish to cast doubt on your statement, I'm actually curious.

Maybe I'm crazy but, regardless of the shooting. He's caught to be tried and sentenced. Fine. Justice served. here's what I want to know. WHERE DID HE GET THE WEAPON IN FIRST PLACE?!
If he didn't get the device to go on said shooting spree, it would have been just another whiny teen not happy. He gained access to one. From who? How?
I'm a firm believer in gun control ie (Both hands, a steady trigger squeeze and controlled breathing) which means as a responsible fire arm owner. I police and lock up my
property. This is the kind of crap that will help those "Guns are evil remove them" nutters thinking if the public is completely disarmed we'd all be safe

Maybe we need to register and license guns in the same way we register and license cars (maybe without requiring an insurance proof on top of all that). That even means allowing automatic weapons and allowing for background checks. Perhaps ballistic fingerprinting. I might also say that police should provide a voluntary appointment-based service to check and advise concerned citizens on their own gun security so that they could be shown on record to have provided their due diligence and been advised (without criminal penalties) of necessary measures they should take. Perhaps conceal-carry should not only require tactical training of permit holders, but also laws should require the availability of such training so people can handle themselves should a situation require lethal force.

The Media has the populace edgy... The media's read Hitler's book. Next comes the Empowering Act.

I feel sorry for our grand-kids; the ones who are about the 6-12 age range right now.

If I read it right, she either misinterpreted what you'd said, Jim, or she's a complete asshole.

Or both.

True,

There is not enough space on here to show how disgusted I am about all this...

Some people just want to be offended IMHO.

Geez, WTF is wrong with people these days. One wrong word and they'll rip your head off.

The lady suffers from "Cranial Rectal Disfunction."

To be fair, if she was not listening closely, I can see how she could have misunderstood you. Not saying she was right to blow up at you, but it was likely an honest mistake.

I agree with you. The wording of what he said could have been much better.

But when someone spouts off like that without thinking, who is more likely to have put "hate into that boy's heart"?

Know the feeling, been hit with "you kind of people" are to blame for what happened.

It's just best to avoid eye contact with everybody.

I sadly agree.

I know people like that...say anything, anything at all, and it's like stepping on a land mine.

I generally assume most people are landmines.

How do you keep finding these people?
I mean, I guess it's not THAT hard. They're everywhere... but still. You're a magnet.

Stuff like that tidbit makes me wonder what kind of spiritual warfare was going on with that guy. Not that the devil made him do it, mind you. I just wonder what the whole thing looked like from heaven.

Hope he finds redemption. Living with hate in your heart is no life at all.

"Almost".........

ALMOST........

But he had to "conquer" that moment of "weakness". 7X=E

Seems to me that some people only need someone else to say just about anything. They will then react to what you've said (even if it was completely unrelated and not directed at them) as though it were the most dire of personal insults.
