TakeYouToTasker Posted August 14, 2018 Posted August 14, 2018 15 hours ago, ALF said: good, you don't execute an unarmed man for shoving you Actually, you can, and it's justified if you're being threatened. Shoving someone to the ground is assault. You don't get to assault people, and make them fear for their safety. If you do, you risk being shot for engaging in dangerous anti-social behavior. People are not obligated to take whatever sort of beating you feel is justified by street justice, and can defend themselves with lethal force. The moral of the story is don't !@#$ing assault people.

B-Man Posted August 17, 2018 Posted August 17, 2018 STANDING UP FOR CIVIL RIGHTS: Louisiana Attorney General Denies $600 Million to Citibank, Bank of America Over Gun Control. “Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry and the state’s Bond Commission denied $600 million to Citibank and Bank of America over the gun control stance adopted by both companies. Citibank and Bank of America were both to be part of a road financing plan in the state, but were omitted from the financial plan after arbitrarily placing new gun controls on banking customers. Louisiana Executive Division press secretary Ruth Wisher told Breitbart News that Landry and State Treasurer John Schroder have been working on the state’s response to corporate gun control ‘for some time.’ Omitting them from the $600 million is part of that response.”

ALF Posted August 23, 2018 Posted August 23, 2018 Chicago police chief blames city violence on lenient judges and prosecutors The superintendent of Chicago's beleaguered police department shifted the blame for the city's gun violence epidemic from the cops to the courts, blaming judges and prosecutors who refuse to jail repeat offenders arrested with illegal firearms. Supt. Eddie Johnson, speaking on Monday at Chicago Police Headquarters, said his department can “only do so much," but noted “it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out why shootings continue to be a problem in Chicago.” “These shootings are not random,” Johnson said. “They’re fueled by gang conflicts. We know who they are. He added: “If people don’t give us the information we need, and our judicial partners don’t hold them accountable, would you stop if that’s what you wanted to do? You know, it’s ridiculous.” http://www.foxnews.com/us/2018/08/21/chicago-police-chief-blames-city-violence-on-lenient-judges-and-prosecutors.html
The_Dude Posted August 23, 2018 Posted August 23, 2018 Why would anybody in Chicago need a gun? The police are working overtime. They’ll handle everything. That’s why we have government. To handle all our wants and needs.

The shooters aren't very accurate, so the risk of death is fairly low. Edited August 28, 2018 by keepthefaith
