Charges filed in shooting of Kansas City teen who rang wrong doorbell

[multivita-man]

then there are some others who are afraid of some type of karma or retribution....always afraid that the people they have enjoyed shitting on for so long will one day do the same to them...and they are scared to death of it....

Absolutely part of it. No question. The entire reason for Jim Crow was the Southern white man's fear that their former black slaves, who outnumbered them in some places, would gain political power and if not, then would use violence against them instead. Fear of black revolution was palpable ever since the Haitian slave rebellion of 1793.

Those are the main differences between most "liberals" and "conservatives" -- liberals are motivated by policies geared to do things FOR PEOPLE; no matter if the people who benefit are conservatives from a red state, or liberals from a blue state.....while conservatives are motivated by policies that are geared to do things AGAINST PEOPLE...specifically the people they hate....

Indeed. Progressives believe that the fruits of human progress should shared evenly. Not that we believe in perfect equality, nor that we would even consider it a goal, but at least allowing everyone to enjoy the benefits of modern advancement. What good are new medical advances if only half the population can take advantage of them?

Conservatives live in a world of human hierarchy, and they naturally see themselves at the top. It's the hierarchy and their place in it that takes primacy. Only when they feel secure in their status can they feel like this is their country. Threaten to take away that power and status away from them, and they'll claim that their country is being stolen from them and they'll be calling for a new American Revolution.

I think that's exactly what we're seeing now: a defining conflict over what this country is and what it stands for going forward. Are we a country forever stuck in the 18th and 19th Centuries, or is it the country that embraces the daunting challenges of world war, civil rights abuses, nuclear proliferation, environmental catastrophe, space exploration, and finds ways to overcome?

Like what happened here? Oh........wait.

Democrats don't always get their way. YEAH

 

[bodecea]

Guns save lives, period.

If they didn't, the police wouldn't need them.

How'd that work out for that young white girl in upstate NY?

Why leave out the part where they were democrats? LMAO

How'd that work out for those Bank workers in Louisville?

 

[DukeU]

It's your story, you tell me.

 

[whitehall]

It must have been a tough case finding an 80 year old possibly senile and paranoid man who done it. Meanwhile they are dying like flies in Chicago.

Southern Democrats who have absolutely no relationship to the Democratic party of today. Anyone with a basic understanding of American history would know this, so that's why you can't be taken seriously.

How'd that work out for those school children and Administrators in Nashville, TN?

 

[DukeU]

Exactly. More evidence all people need to be armed.

When seconds count, police are only minutes away.

 

[bodecea]

Well, what about the pizza party gone wrong in Detroit? An all black event with shots fired, people wounded maybe dead.....barely anything posted about it and as for any charges???

And they will be held accountable WITHOUT anyone here defending the shooter(s).

 

[bodecea]

I sometimes feel like a Kindergarten teacher. I offered a possibility as to the mindset of an old person living in a dangerous world. Please, please, please pay closer attention.

FEAR FEAR FEAR FEAR FEAR!

The same democrat party.

The unanswered but important question is this man's mental state. What he did was clearly a felony. But why, according to him, did he do it?

This is not the first time this has happened. A Japanese student was killed by someone in Louisiana about thirty years ago, in similar circumstances: [ Yoshihiro Hattori: The door knock that killed a Japanese teenager in US ]

Guns are not going to disappear from America. Don't kid yourself about this, especially given the realities of the racial situation and the great increase in violence as the Left successfully hampers law enforcement. (Blacks murder whites far more, in proportion to their numbers, than vice versa, and, of course, the mainstream media cover it up. But most Black murders are of other Blacks -- which is true for all racial groups: most violence is within the group.)

Is there anything that could be done about this, given that we are not going to confiscate all guns? Requiring attendance at a class teaching gun safety, for all future purchasers of firearms, including what 'stand your ground' and 'citizens arrests' really mean, in law, might help. This is already required in some states for those wishing to exercise 'concealed carry'.

But since there are already more firearms than people in the US, this would only catch new buyers, a fraction of gun owners. A better idea might be a widespread public information campaign, carried by all TV channels, on firearms safety and their legal use in self-defense.

Many people on the Right, and some on the Left, are -- justifiably -- wary about anything that extends government surveillance and knowledge of who owns what. But a public campaign, with widespread publicity -- including showing relevant videos in schools -- would not meet with those objections.

Another idea is: as part of the building code in every state, require doors opening to the outside to have a 'peephole' so that you don't have to open your door to see who's outside. Subsidize the retro-fitting of these. Consider the same requirement for security cameras.

As America disintegrates, and sensible people arm themselves against the accompanying chaos, we're going to see more and more incidents like this. Patriots need to organize, and to learn what is legal, and sensible, in terms of self-defense. If we were organized, and educated about the law, we could probably prevent a lot of needless tragedies.

Yeah, and the man who killed that Japanese exchange student was no billed................which is wrong.

 

[bodecea]

Well, getting rid of guns is out of the question and most people don't support it....


But gettin rid of blacks or at least making a large part of society feel that something can be done specifically to blacks is still a very strong motivating factor in conservative politics...so I see a new version of Jim Crow laws on the horizon....as long as a Republican isn't too afraid to fight for it....because hinting at stats and posting memes like this -- without finishing the thought by talking about policies specifically designed to target blacks -- is cowardly...

How many are killed by males with guns?

 

[DukeU]

How'd that work out for those school children and Administrators in Nashville, TN?

Secure the schools, that's the gov't. job right.

Why isn't our president securing our schools?

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

No, this is a consequence of a nation where guns are freely available and where alt-right media does a wonderful job of stirring up racial division by denigrating and demeaning blacks as a whole.

Hardly. It's all the media as a whole. The media has been the biggest racial divider in this country for the last 20 years.

 

[bodecea]

Should we post all of the instances where people make mistakes and cause someone else to die?

But, for some strange reason, guns are the only thing people want to blame and ban.

Guns shouldn't be banned...but some sanity needs to be introduced into ownership.

 

[ActionJackson]

So...you are saying that Lester is delusional and can't distinguish his reality from other events. What was he doing with a gun then?

He's in his 80s. May have bought his gun when he was in his 20s. May be taking doctor prescribed meds which caused him to panic when a total stranger was knocking on his door.

In the future ... it may be best when going to retrieve your brothers to give them a call from the street and say, "I'm parked outside" instead of getting lost and walking around the neighborhood knocking on strangers' doors.

 

[bodecea]

Yes, that one will be swept under the rug and ignored.

You mean no one will be charged? Or.............do you mean that no gun lovers will try to find reasons to defend the Detroit shooter(s)?
