Finally we have pictures of the 19 year old guy who shot up a store that sells clothes to skateboarders

I’m shocked, I tell you.
Mom says her son was a good kid.
What kind of company makes a 21 year old young woman the manager of a retail outlet in a mall?
Violent crime is half of what it was in 1993

What has changed is the media coverage and the desire of government to scare you. Look at pictures of the mall and you’ll see a tractor trailer for “incident response” because a 19 year old with a 12 gauge shotgun didn’t get a job he wanted working at a skateboard shop, probably because he thought the 21 year old white female manager didn’t want to hire a black teenager.
1993 is 20 years after Roe v. Wade. After 1993 there were far fewer unwanted children in “prime crime years”.
Not talking sides on when a cell or pair of cells should become a legal human being… just stating the facts.
What caught my eye was an officer in a vest labeled: “Negotiator”
In the old days, they would just start shooting. Now they know they can save lives by just waiting, listening to the gunman’s concerns, and many times when they see a family member pleaing for them to stop, the ordeal ends with fewer or no on getting killed.
Same thing with these high speed police chased when they used to start shooting over a car that would not stop for a speeding ticket. Now they put a helicopter in the air, or shoot a gps so it sticks to the fleeing car and track it until it eventually runs out of gas. Fewer stray bullets mean fewer innocent bystanders shot.
What would Broderick Crawford do?
Bueller? Bueller? Bueller? … ops, wrong Broderick
My gist was that soon we might see a vest labeled “Writer”.
aka ‘Castle’ (the TV show).
Vest labels are for other LEO’s and the MSM, not the perps.
Well, I don’t even own a TV 🙂
So if I’m the perp and see a guy who has a jacket that says “Police Sniper”, what do I do?
I wouldn’t suggest starting an argument.
Well, the victims families should sue Maryland governor Martin O’malley, for the lie that people are protected in ‘gun free zones’ because the state of Maryland is tough on gun control and limiting Rifle and pistol magazines, three day wait periods on purchase of firearm, Limit one firearm per month, comprehensive background checks, no concealed carry allowed, no resciprocity with other states on concealed carry. Heck according to O’malley, the ‘sheeple’ of Maryland (with all this gun control) are safe like if they were in Jesus’s loving arms.
Hey sheeple and democrats News flash: ‘Gun free zone’ signs protect no one!
Gun free Zone = Killing fields .
Yeah I know Parrott is ‘raciss’ ! Just a ‘Trendy’ clinger, raciss !
I only listen to radio, no TV. One thing I’ve noticed in recent weeks is a marked increase of hyped- up ‘breaking news’ coverage of gun incidents, regardless of locale/state…
The fix is in.
After the President’s State of Barack Obama Show, that might get pushed aside for the next fix – “Income Inequality”
Didn’t the President nominate Ben Bernake 4 years ago, and nominate Janet Yellen this year?
Is the President pretending he thought that Bernake was distributing the trillions of cash to each family equally and now surprised that not everyone owns their homes and cars free and clear? Shocked, shocked, shocked to learn there is unequal distribution going on here.
Well, Yes and No. On the one hand, Bernanke was appointed by Bush in 2006, but on the other hand Barack Obama asked him to stay on.
In equality increased since Obama’s reappointment.
