I'm just glad that Federal Officers isolated the threat, potentially saving tens of lives from mass murder. Luckily he couldn't get to his weapon fast enough It's terrible that it had to come to this but they may of saved a lot of people. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He was filming. He got pepper sprayed. He was trying to crawl away. They DRAGGED him into the fray, disarmed him. Put him on his knees, shot him in the back and then shot him again multiple times while on the ground He never once reached for his gun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I disagree and think HT and ToK are mostly trolling libs despite believing most of what they say. Also, they're far more subtle and respectful most of the time. HT at least has great taste in music, which in my mind is more important than political affiliation. And ToK... well, let's just say that at the other place there were a number of folks convinced that ToK's "cousin" Knowledge Dropper, was a satire account. JMHO, YMMV. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fine, I know you and Squis have a "fraught" relationship, LOL. I have no interest in that. Calling out SID, though... I strongly disagree. He's one of the few here that backs himself up with links, treats everyone respectfully even when they level ad hominem attacks, and apologizes when he gets something wrong. He and EG are basically the best of us, and they both lean conservative and call it as they see it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was a question. I did not CLAIM you said it, I asked because IIRC someone claimed you had. But it's all semantics, as absolutely nothing you post can be trusted, even on the rare occasion it's truthful. I'll add a caveat, though. You're not a total POS in non-political threads, so mea culpa for painting with an extremely broad brush when a really broad brush was more appropriate.
