    Veteran suspended from college

    This is a little more balanced report including a statement from the school about the report in the OP. However, one can't help be a little bit skeptical when these schools start claiming compliance with confidentiality laws as an excuse to avoid thorough explanations. After linking to the bio...

    More Insight Into Baltimore's Crime Problems

    After reading some of these statistics, it's no wonder the mess in Baltimore turned out the way it did - from the unnecessary death of Freddie Gray to the riots that followed. Total lack of leadership and rule of law on the part of their nitwit mayor and the other elected officials that have...

    Here We Go Again

    It would have proven they weren't the two guys who tried to steal beer; pretty simple. By now national civil rights advocates would be screaming "police brutality" from coast to coast if the cop had shot the wrong guys. Speaking of redefinitions, with that statement you have just redefined...

    Here We Go Again

    From time to time some people need to be reminded that the vast majority of posts on this forum are OPINIONS - and that one happens to be mine, based on the articles and reports coming from the news sources in Olympia. I'll bet it's already been proven that the two men who stole the beer are the...

    Here We Go Again

    Once again you're misrepresenting what I posted: read the article. I'm talking about the two suspects who are accused of assaulting the officer. Once again, these two were shot while supposedly resisting arrest. Whether or not they were the ones who tried to steal the beer is irrelevant to the...

    Here We Go Again

    "Victims"?? What victims? Right out of the gate the assumption is the police are using unnecessary lethal force before all the facts are known. If these two guys were innocent they should have cooperated when stopped by the cop and then gone on their way. Apparently that wasn't the case since...

    Here We Go Again

    This probably doesn't even need an introduction; two black men attempt to steal beer from a Safeway in Olympia, WA get shot and wounded resisting arrest when a cop catches up with them. The common theme that has been so widely publicized is that regardless if it's warranted, when somebody...

    Karl Rove To Anchor Fox News Sunday...

    Steffy has quite a bit of company in the MSM. http://www.breitbart.com/big-journalism/2015/05/19/scandal-rap-sheet-48-excellent-reasons-to-distrust-despise-the-media/

    Karl Rove To Anchor Fox News Sunday...

    Notice the difference in coverage by the MSM of Brian Williams' war tales and the political skulduggery of George Stephanopoulos. Williams screwed up by trying to enhance his personal image and consequently ruining his personal credibility. Georgie on the other hand is only furthering the agenda...

    Karl Rove To Anchor Fox News Sunday...

    It goes a bit deeper than that. And for another perspective: http://newsbusters.org/blogs/jeffrey-lord/2015/05/16/would-fox-news-hire-karl-rove-replace-chris-wallace-interview?hootPostID=6ef9755b4775a33d20a44fcb5f191bdc

    Karl Rove To Anchor Fox News Sunday...

    Well, not really - but it would be the same thing as the deal George Stephanopoulos got from ABC. How absurd that this partisan political hack from the Clinton camp has been one of ABC's headliners on "This Week" and "Good Morning America" posing as a reporter of hard news, all the while...

    The lights are out on 2 Officers, state of the nation.

    Too many cops get killed or injured in the line of duty every year, but this fact gets very little if any coverage in the national media. Unfortunately many don't care, and others who have problems with authority figures are glad because they have the attitude that the cops deserved it. Of...

    Baltimore Rioting, Looting OK According to Mayor

    That was pretty slick: you created the straw man to lay the groundwork for your narrative and I missed it the first and second time I read it, and even responded to it - incorrectly. I'll bet most others missed it too - obviously Unclebob did because even he was talking about lethal force...

    Baltimore Rioting, Looting OK According to Mayor

    That's an incorrect and overly broad conclusion drawn from a jaded study of urban Philadelphia. Using the same logic one could also say owning and driving a motor vehicle hugely increases the risk of being involved in a traffic accident. The conclusion of the study offers a better picture of...

    Baltimore Rioting, Looting OK According to Mayor

    Zero...so far; and odds are that number will stay the same. FYI, that includes me in the vast majority of not only civilians who own and/or legally carry guns but also law enforcement officers who carry them as part of their job. About 5 percent of LEOs have fired their weapon in the line of...

    Baltimore Rioting, Looting OK According to Mayor

    Not hardly; I'm simply aware of what it takes to survive and be able to go home and throw my pants in the washing machine after being attacked. From the article: "Today, crime is at historic lows and most cities are safer than they have been in generations, for residents and officers alike."...

    Baltimore Rioting, Looting OK According to Mayor

    No it doesn't; you're not getting the context of imminent threat. The "period. End of discussion, end of problem" text came from the quote from the Baltimore prosecutor. I tried to explain this earlier - that somebody throwing bricks or threatening someone with a weapon other than a firearm from...

    Don't mess with Texas.

    Geller's event was designed to troll Muslims in your opinion; regardless, it was covered by our constitutional right of free speech. You really missed the point here. Substitute images of the prophet Mohammed for Christ or the Holy Virgin submerged in urine or decorated with elephant dung and...

    Baltimore Rioting, Looting OK According to Mayor

    OK - if stating that I'll defend myself if somebody attacks me with a brick makes me a chest beater, then so be it - I'm out of the closet. But be aware there are a lot of us out here, so be careful who you attack with bricks.;)
