    Baltimore Rioting, Looting OK According to Mayor

    OK, so I'll ask again... How many times have you been attacked and then defended yourself with lethal force?

    Baltimore Rioting, Looting OK According to Mayor

    The liberal BS article from the NY Times contains actual quotes from actual police officers who deal with this on a daily basis. You can take them at their word or not, up to you. And the Tueller 21-foot rule has hardly been a secret,for at least the last 20 or so years I've been aware of it.

    No, I completely understand the context of imminent threat. You're missing the context of pissing in your pants in a panic. :D And I'll well aware of the Tueller Drill. It's something that's been ingrained in police work for nearly 30 years, almost without question, and now it's being...

    What happened to Eclipse Expediting?

    My favorite is when someone gets an inland marine policy and they think they're covered for expediting.

    Tracking down the exact physical location of an IP address requires more time than I'm willing to invest, and there are (so far) a couple of key pieces of information required to track it down much further. But, I can say that it didn't come from the office, and that it came from a home, and...

    Don't mess with Texas.

    Yes, it's my opinion. But it's a well-informed opinion. And regardless, I never even hinted that it wasn't covered under the freedom of speech. I don't think, and haven't for an instant, thought she should be arrested and prosecuted for the event. That would be ridiculous. (Or, Europe.) I didn't...

    Don't mess with Texas.

    All three examples are examples of people inspired to create art, knowing that it might offend some, but as any artist will tell you, people can interpret art any way they like, since art can reveal itself in many different ways to many different people. Some people have praised Piss Christ as a...

    Baltimore Rioting, Looting OK According to Mayor

    No one is suggesting you shouldn't defend yourself from an attack. Most anyone would defend themselves from attack. I certainly would. Stating that you'll defend yourself if attacked (with bricks or anything else) does not a chest-beater make. Stating the outcome as somehow being a slam-dunk...

    Don't mess with Texas.

    Comparing Piss Christ to Geller's event, especially in the context of intentionally trying to use hate speech in the façade of free speech, really isn't a analogous. For one, there is a difference between an event promoting free speech and an event that is protected by free speech. Geller's...

    I don't know who he is or where he is. That doesn't make him in hiding any more than it makes him Jesus or an E. T. or anything else that I might want him to be. Not sure why you'd bring up Ferguson, other than to create a new straw man context or something. Unless, of course, there was an...

    Carrying a gun, permit or not, does not make someone chest beater or a Rambo. Being a chest beater does, tho.

    Combined with a few things that we can see behind the scenes, it is at the very least, a little suspect.

    Craving McDonald's?

    Well, I was curious. :D Way back when... I was the general manager at a McDonalds. When you work there you can experiment with all kinds of stuff, including cooking your food exactly the way you want it. I was there when the McRib was introduced, back when breakfast at McDonalds was first...

    Craving McDonald's?

    It's not even remotely close to real BBQ. Just like their new "artisan" chicken sandwich isn't the least bit artisan, either. But I still crave a McRib every now and then. What I really like is a double sausage patty muffin with 2 slices of cheese, with pickles and mustard. Incidentally, if...

    Even some of us have experienced it. I don't really remember it, cognitively, and am unaware of what all really went on behind the scenes and the attitudes and circumstances and what not, but have you ever seen the movie "The Help"? It was kinda like that, I think. The first 9 years of my life I...

    At this point I'm sure she's at least partially motivated by money (she is, after all, a Jew <snort>). But mainly she's just an anti-Muslim Zionist Jew who wants to rid the world of Islam and Muslims and tried her best to spread that same sentiment to as many people as she can possibly convince...
