President Trump just placed the DC police under federal control

The most effective protection against gun violence is to avoid living in states that have permissive firearm laws.

Avoiding big blue cities is your best bet.

Avoiding big blue cities is your best bet.

Which are in red states.

To kill each other with, that's a great society.

Do you live in the U.S.?

Speaking of crime, I don't get it, this monster gets to stay in the US in a US prison, whereas hair dressers and landscapers who never hurt anyone, get sent to CECOT, go figure...this scum is from El Salvador too!

CECOT:

Seems like he's landed on his feet to me, probably very grateful to be staying in a US prison:

I guess if you want to avoid deportation to CECOT, you just need to kill an American woman.

Once his sentence is served he will be deported. I would have preferred executed.

The lesson is, this poor mother of 5 was unarmed. Had she her own gun she would be alive today. The answer isn't fewer guns. This woman had her head bashed in with a rock. The answer is more guns.

My Lai is misunderstood.

During the War, Viet Cong would go into Villages and conscript workers to dig holes in roads so the VC could could plant mines. They'd make the Villagers plant anti-personnel mines, punji stakes, etc.

The VC would also use Villages as re-supply stations. Coming in from Cambodia, the Porters couldn't carry a lot. But that was the only way the North could get weapons and munitions to the South (the VC). So tehy couldn't carry a lot of food and they'd stop in the Villages, eat, rest and push their bicycles loaded down with explosives and munitions further into the Country.

I could go on and on but that should suffice for my little blurb here.

The US tried to slow this down by constructing Strategic Hamlets. They would uproot Villagers and move them to Strategic Hamlets where the VC couldn't use them as forced labor anymore. Because they were well guarded and it was bad for VC health to go there.

But this is where ignorance on America's part sets in...... We, my Unit, tried to tell them but they wouldn't listen. Why should West Pointers listen to us snake-eaters? In Countries like that, in the boonies, they don't have Deeds and Titles and Registrars, etc, etc. All they have is -- People lived on the land, they farmed it, they built their Huts on it and it was theirs. Maybe for thousands of years.

The only right they had to the land was the fact they lived on it. They occupied it. So when College pukes came up withe idea of moving the people off their land, it backfired.

The Villagers would take off, leave the Strategic Hamlet, and go back to their Villages, the VC would show up again and use them as forced labor. They would plant mines, build booby traps and American Soldiers would get killed and maimed.

Lt Calley flipped out.

He got tired of seeing his men get maimed and killed by booby traps and roadside bombs. He got tired of listening to his men scream in pain as their legs got blown off.

There we go, didn't take long for an apologist to step up and defend the American "victim" in this story, who got "tired" of American invaders being killed by the people they tried to invade.

The people to blame for American deaths are the American government who wanted to prop up a former French colony where the indigenous wanted to enjoy the same self determination Americans do and be free of colonial rule.

He flipped. And the men under his command weren't too thrilled about it either.

I;m not telling you I agree with what he did. I do not.

But the story behind it is covered up. Because that's what 'journalists' do. They lie. They develop a story in their heads then go out and find the 'facts' to make it true.

Actual "FACTS" to 'journalists' are extremely troubling. They'll go with "The Story" every time, facts be damned

100 "men" who stood around while old men, women, kids and babies were being slaughtered.

It's just another core tenet of fascism OP, Obsession with Crime and Punishment.

Yeah, we're deep into fascism in America at this point.

I want your streets to be as safe as mine. Crime isn't normal. Gunshots all through the night isn't normal. Carjacking isn't normal. Drive-by shootings aren't normal. Sleeping on the floor to reduce your chances of death by stray bullet isn't normal. Gang crime isn't normal.

Which of these activities are you in favor of?

 

[Sherlock Holmes]

Yeah, that's exactly what the last guys said.

Oh your into play acting war games, explains a lot.

I recall the quote from one of our guys:

“At some point it became necessary to destroy the village in order to save it.”

Of course, that was nonsensical quasi Orwellian at the time. And it didn’t improve with age.

Peter Arnett at Ben Tre.

We were going to take that piece of ******* shit Out. And I do mean 'out'.

Few people know this but he was married to a Viet Cong Female. She was totes communist VC.

Arnett and Dan The total Scum-Sucking Rather would hang out in the Saigon Hotel bar, get Officers drunk and pump them for information. Arnett would go home and brag about the information he got. Mostly about Re-Supply missions going to Tay Ninh and Cu Chi. Or Convoys going anywhere.

They made good targets for back-stabbing communists. So Arnett's whore wife would relay the information to her commie buddies and the Convoys would get ambushed. The VC knew what time they were coming by and how well armed they'd be and how much Infantry and Armor would be with them and if there were any Gunships protecting them, etc, etc,

Well, we figured it out pretty quick and some of the guys wanted to take Arnett out. He wasn't American, so.....

But what we did instead was -- We started feeding him (and Rather) false information. We'd let it out that an unarmed HUGE convoy was headed for Tay Ninh and it would instead be a battalion of Infantry with a couple of M-48's (tanks) and some Gunships not far away.

Arnett and his whore wife left the Country not too long afterwards. So did the scumbag Rather, IIRC

Being bombed by American planes and shot at by American soldiers who have taken it upon themselves to trample all over your country isn't normal - but then again perhaps it is...

 

[Sherlock Holmes]

Do you live in the U.S.?

Ahh, need to create a strawman argument I see, staying on topic is too hard for you...

God saves us. He got life without parole +40 you dunce.

So why so much gun crime here if everyone (with very few exceptions) has the right to buy a gun?

Don't tell me, you're gonna blame those who don't own a gun for gun crime...Oh God, he is....

Did you actually ever go to school?

I was on the fence about dblack, thinking he was just one of those lolbertarians. Not so sure about that now, I'm pretty much convinced he's just another Trump-hating left-winger.

Libertarians are Marxist light.

 

[Rambunctious]

Let DC be the example for other blue city hell holes....
Our nation's capital must be safe... clean... and crime free... so the people there will have to live in a police state for a while... they will thank Trump....

 

[DigitalDrifter]

Ahh, need to create a strawman argument I see, staying on topic is too hard for you...

Just want to see if any of this is any of your business.

 

[Blaster]

Trump is in charge so the Mayor better obey his directives.

 

[Missourian]

...and President Trump is the first president in 50 years who ran on ending the forever wars.

Please try to keep you messaging straight, cuz you sound pretty MAGA right now.

I pay taxes, its my business.

 

[XponentialChaos]

You have no idea who I voted for.

Trump.

You voted for Trump.

 

[Sherlock Holmes]

...and President Trump is the first president in 50 years who ran on ending the forever wars.

Then bombed Iran and approved more weapons to Ukraine and Sickrael, threatened to invade Greenland and Panama, bombed Yemen and sent nuclear armed subs to the Russian coast, yep he's a liar alright.

Please try to keep you messaging straight, cuz you sound pretty MAGA right now.

He failed to stop the slaughter in Gaza, he failed to stop the Ukraine war, he's an abject failure.

Not everyone with the right to buy a gun, buys a gun. I didn't get my first gun until I was 60. Crime will go down when citizens seriously fight back.

I don't care what this killer got. A sympathetic judge or governor could have him out at any time. If the back of his head was blown off, no clemency.

Some cities require all residents legally able to own a gun to own at least one.
