    Baltimore Rioting, Looting OK According to Mayor

    Of course it was intended to be personal and insulting. But what I said was not Rambo talk and it's not chest beating; I'm only one of the approximately 12 Million people in the US who have concealed carry permits for the purpose of self defense. I guess that makes them all chest-beaters and...

    Don't mess with Texas.

    So who is he, and where is he??? It sure didn't take long for the cop in Ferguson, MO to be identified and located.

    Don't mess with Texas.

    Under a different administration and under normal circumstances the police officer who displayed considerable courage and skill in killing two terrorists who intended to commit mass murder of innocent civilians would currently be heralded as a national hero and awarded the medal of valor...

    Don't mess with Texas.

    What short memories we have. In 1987 Piss Christ was considered award winning art, it's display was actually subsidized by the US Govt and Andres Serrano's life was never in danger by sects of radical Christians. Free speech at it's finest:rolleyes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piss_Christ...

    Baltimore Rioting, Looting OK According to Mayor

    That's pretty presumptuous of both of you. You decided to take this discussion into personal insult territory, but neither of you have an inkling of my training, knowledge of, or capabilities with firearms. I'll restate my point again: police and individual citizens have the right and...

    That might indeed be the case for someone unfamiliar with firearms and who has very little or no training with handguns. I'm still waiting to hear how others - especially BS Boy - would defend themselves from threats of serious personal injury or death.

    Baltimore Rioting, Looting OK According to Mayor

    From 15 yards away you're right. It's likely you can't throw one that far anyway and even in that case I've probably got time and distance to get away or take cover. On the other hand, if you're throwing bricks at me from a 5 yard distance you're gonna have a problem. First of all you're guilty...

    Baltimore Rioting, Looting OK According to Mayor

    So was I, and I'll say it again: If some thug tries to attack me with a brick or any other deadly object I'll resist with deadly force rather than accept the unacceptable alternative. Many people have this viewpoint nowadays, and the number of people applying for concealed carry permits is...

    Baltimore Rioting, Looting OK According to Mayor

    Regarding the Baltimore police, we're not talking in terms of abstract hypotheticals; they were being attacked with deadly weapons by a crowd of violent criminals and they had a right to defend themselves by whatever means necessary. They also had a duty to protect the lives and property of law...

    Baltimore Rioting, Looting OK According to Mayor

    If you have an alternate strategy I'm sure we'd all like to hear how you would diffuse a situation that threatens you with immediate and severe bodily harm. Maybe you'd ask the thug(s) about their home life or ask them to discuss their grievances.:rolleyes: In reality it appears you're full of...

    Actually, they do - the crime rate among black is significantly higher than other racial groups, especially crime among young black males. http://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/ucr/crime-in-the-u.s/2011/crime-in-the-u.s.-2011/tables/table-43 Maybe I'm missing something, but surely you aren't...

    Baltimore Rioting, Looting OK According to Mayor

    It's probably fair to presume that the innocent people and business owners that had their property stolen, homes burned and businesses destroyed don't really care about the prior criminal records of the vandals and thugs that might have felt "insulted or disrespected". Suppose you happened to be...

    Baltimore Rioting, Looting OK According to Mayor

    As mentioned in one of the article's comments the author is long on BS excuses and short on facts, especially when he attempts to compare these senseless acts of destruction by vandals and thugs to past revolutions against tyranny or despotic regimes. To repeat the obvious, Baltimore's elected...

    Baltimore Rioting, Looting OK According to Mayor

    The proposed legislation passed the city council vote 12-1. Obviously there was a disagreement between them and the Mayor. Considering the recent performance of the mayor and that the attorney general's office declined to offer an opinion, it's likely the members of the council were on pretty...

    Updating post #96: I need to withdraw my criticism of the Gov of MD for not calling out the National Guard sooner because it turns out he was waiting on Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake to make the necessary formal request for the services of the National Guard. This brings back memories of the...

    Baltimore Rioting, Looting OK According to Mayor

    You must be confused by the terms "riot" and "protest", or perhaps "peaceable assembly". Unruly mobs of thugs and criminals stealing and destroying the property of people and businesses who benefit them and their community is nothing more than anarchy and/or domestic terrorism. Their violence...

    Your definition of "at will" doesn't seem to square with the facts known at this point, unless you know something no one else does. His arrest and death are still under investigation. http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/crime/blog/bs-md-ci-freddie-gray-arrest-documents-20150420-story.html

    Baltimore: black mayor, black police chief who stated the cops in the Gray arrest were not out of control. Black population of Baltimore is about 63%, Democrats control Baltimore and MD politics. Black people in Baltimore are not getting killed by white cops "at will". At some point reasonable...

    Absolutely unbelievable, especially if you're a business owner in certain parts of Baltimore. This moronic woman should be recalled, but it probably won't happen in this city. Evidently the rights of regular citizens and business owners are secondary to those who feel the need to destroy...

    Marco Rubio steps in it.

    None of the current foreign money scandals surrounding the Clintons are new. Remember all the illegal Chinese money that was given to the Clintons and the subsequent revelations of missile technology showing up in Chinese hands, putting them years if not decades ahead of their existing missile...
