Do guns protect you, or simply cause violence? (Page 144) kittybobo34: One thing different is the internet, allowing the basic nitwits to throw their opinions out there and team up with other nitwits.

What want to jump on the coat tails of a racist group thats led by Marxists got to be kidding Best way to deal with the police is not to get involved with them in the first place Besides there were no police force's as we know them now when the Constitution was written.

A day after the shootings, investigators were trying to unravel what might have compelled 21-year-old Robert Aaron Long to commit the worst mass killing in the U.S. in almost two years. Long told police that Tuesday’s attack was not racially motivated. He claimed to have a “sex addiction,” and authorities said he apparently lashed out at what he saw as sources of temptation. But those statements spurred outrage and widespread skepticism given the locations and that six of the eight victims were women of Asian descent.

Sir Loin: Well, maybe he just had a thing for Asian women like I do and associated them with his hornier moments  murrayduan: ghostgeek: It would seem that things are returning to normal in the U.S., now that people are getting vaccinated." Yep they are leaving the house to go on killing sprees. Back to normal I am afraid? murrayduan: That and the distinct possibility of being shot by cops." Yep I agree I stopped letting my wife leave the house on her own anymore. She is petite and would be easy prey for the nut jobs out there. I now drive her and wait for hours if need be while she shops. Day after day I read about these women leaving the house never to be seen again. Anyone notice it has gotten worse the last 5 years?? It is not a coincidence our Political Climate has worsened at the same time with a leader who views women as tools for his own pleasure and expendable. Does anyone think it is coincidence hate crimes are up after 5 years of Trump? I mean I now hate so many Conservatives because of Trump?
