Monday, January 21, 2013 4:58:55 AM I am sorry OldOllie- you may not pick this up- but I am just wandering through what I missed. Could you please explain what you meant by escaping the plantation? exactly? Because from where i am sitting it makes you disgustingly racist. don't give me popular culture either- I neither know, care, nor wish to know. Just explain... |

Saturday, January 19, 2013 12:02:17 PM @intrigred: Before anyone -in the theater- was hurt... that's where the armed guard was, not the restaurant, get it? Gun saved lives. So one mistake makes the entire event cease to exist? Interesting. |

Saturday, January 19, 2013 9:00:38 AM "the snopes article that shows the mass email where you got your misinformation from. There was no girlfriend." Not to mention that his story contradicts itself. It says the guy shot his girlfriend, but then it says an off-duty cop shot him before anybody was hurt. |

Saturday, January 19, 2013 4:04:27 AM Its irrelevant, it not what you meant to say but how the largest common denominator takes it, yes it has racial connotations people don't appreciate. You can argue the toss as to whether you're allowed to do it or not but whether you meant it as a joke or not its rude and shouldn't be done. People are that dumb that they see one man making a joke and think its ok to use it in a derogatory manner and there ya go. Think before you speak, words have far greater impact and reach than you realise |

Friday, January 18, 2013 7:56:02 PM Yup. There's no problem that can't be solved with a gun I always say. I even use 'em to clear clogged drains. |

Friday, January 18, 2013 2:26:30 PM "Isn't this how Obama got elected?" Really? It's how every politician gets elected. Actually Obama is doing really well on his first term promises. There are only 18 still in the works. |

Thursday, January 17, 2013 8:28:08 PM "You didn't even read your own link, that's the real story here." Come on you have to know me by now. I read it. You can't admit that for the umpteenth-thousandth time you were fooled by a conservative fabrication to make a story more sensational than it really is. What is worse is this time the original source was a chain email that some lazy blogger you read copied. A chain mail! Ha ha. |

Thursday, January 17, 2013 5:53:10 PM intelligent and articulate. somebody like that should be running for office, not these losers who can't make it in the real world and have to resort to politics to support themselves. |

Thursday, January 17, 2013 5:45:00 PM His girlfriend worked at that restaurant, the gunman fired shots AT the restaurant, AT a cop car AND in the theater. WHY would the "concervative media" need to embellish that story? @markust, You didn't even read your own link, that's the real story here... |

Thursday, January 17, 2013 4:50:44 PM I'm not just digging into conservatives with that. If I read a news item that is exactly what I want to hear red flags go off, and I go research at a couple different news sources, because almost always something isn't right with the story. (I am super super sick right now. Is there supposed to be a comma before the 'because"?) |

Thursday, January 17, 2013 4:45:13 PM Whether you read it on the email or a blog regurgitating the email, the lie about the girlfriend was burned in your head. All I was questioning was your mention of the girlfriend not the shooting. I'm just saying you question everything liberals say but seam to take verbatim anything you read on conservative sites. Take the made up girl out of the picture and you don't quite have as sensational of a story as to be picked up by the national media. That is why the girlfriend was thrown in. It adds a human touch, and then people can bitch about a local news item not being picked up. |

Thursday, January 17, 2013 4:41:26 PM The second amendment does not allow you to own an arsenal. "A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." Just where does it say that? |

Thursday, January 17, 2013 4:32:55 PM @markust: Did you read the Snopes? IT'S TRUE! The detail of the girlfriend being shot may be in error, (she wasn't at work) but the rest was correct. Gunman, restaurant, shooting, shot police car, theater, shooting, got shot, no one died. <<ALL CORRECT!>> I didn't get it from a "mass mailing" I got it off a blog, which linked the news-site it came from. Once again, your link proves my point, so thanks! Yes, newspapers make mistakes! Look at the "school shooting prevented" posts I made! The article said "police were there within 3 minutes" but the actual video? Cops were over 8 minutes in responding! And an extra 2-3 minutes because the "security doors" were locked.

Thursday, January 17, 2013 3:53:01 PM Again, I'm not for taking anyone's guns (mostly--I do think that military grade automatic weapons and armor piercing ammunition ought to be banned), but the Second Amendment BS has got to stop. The second amendment does not allow you to own an arsenal. It does not allow you to buy and stockpile enough weaponry and rounds to kill several hundred...deer. It was written for a very specific purpose and you're undermining and retarding it by lying and misrepresenting it. Own guns. Fine. Let's enter into some responsible conversations, reasonable ones, about how to stop stuff like Sandy Hook or Aurora from happening. Almost no one is trying to take your guns. So why not quit misrepresenting one of the most wonderful foundations of government ever by lying about it. Please. |
