An Example Why AR-15s should be limited use

Well, look another mass shooting involving an AR-15 as reported by ABC-13 in Houston



A terrifying shootout in west Houston left two people dead and six more injured. One of those deceased is a suspect and the other is a citizen.


According to Houston police, it started as a shooting in progress call at 13200 Memorial Drive at around 10:15am. When an officer arrived, at least one of the suspects began firing. More units and a SWAT team were called in and a perimeter was set up around the scene.

At some point, one of the suspects was shot and killed, apparently by the other suspect. That other suspect was then shot by a SWAT team. The second suspect was taken to the hospital in unknown condition.

During the shooting, one citizen was shot and killed and two Precinct 5 deputy constables were also shot. One of the deputy constables was saved by his vest. The other was shot in the hand and is expected to be O

Three other citizens were wounded in the shootout. At this point, we don't know any of their conditions.

According to HPD, one of the suspects had a high-powered weapon, believed to be an AR-15. Police say the suspect even fired at a police helicopter.


I do not believe that we should totally ban an AR-15 but we should think very strongly on who can own one and who has access to them. Private security guards and gun ranges should have the right to these weapons but each civilian should have not have the right to have these unless approved by law enforcement. People should still have the right to shoot these guns at private shooting ranges but individual ownership of guns should be restricted. That is just my opinion.

Girl has Sex With 25 Guys But It is Not A "Whore" Problem; It is A Mental Health Problem

ABC 7 reports (http://abc7.com/news/several-boys-film-sex-act-with-girl-in-school-bathroom-post-to-social-media-police-say/1350858/)
)
FORT MYERS, Fla. --
One female student and multiple males had sex in a South Fort Myers High School bathroom, filmed it and then posted the video on social media, according to a police report.

Officials said 25 males were seen entering the bathroom Tuesday after school.

A single girl was also with the boys, and that is when police said a sexual act was performed.

Officials said the graphic video was then posted to social media

This stuff probably happened throughout modern times. During Flower Generation stuff like this was going, it just was not reported. But because of social media, we get to learn about our kid's dirty secrets. It is just that social media now makes what we known about a long time that teenagers do what teenagers do.

Still, it is a really sad that teenager let herself be take advantage by 25 guys but it is still conseual sex. In reality, it is teenager girl with sex addiction problem that needs to be treated before it gets out of control. To me, this a person who deep emotional problems that feels that her only way to get attention is to have sex with 25 boys and announce it to the world. Instead of punishing the teenager, the best way is to treat this like addiction issue and trying to look for the reasons behind why the person needs to subject herself to STDs and potential pregency.

For me, it is a mental health issue and not morality issue. The word "slut" is not the proper word. An addict is better word and mental health model is the best way to go.

 When Donald Met Henry

 m starting to feel a little bit like Jeffrey Tambor, who in this 1981 scene tells Barney Miller that it all leads back to Henry Kissinger and the Trilateral Commission. “The whole master plan is exposed…. Henry Kissinger, have you heard of him?” Nation readers have been hearing a lot about the 92-year-old Kissinger lately. First Hillary Clinton cited his approval as a recommendation for the Oval Office; which Bernie Sanders then jumped on to criticize Clinton’s interventionism; then, just last week, Barack Obama’s Pentagon presented Kissinger with a high honor. Now, news comes that Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee, has met with Kissinger. Details about what they talked about are as of yet unknown. Yet as Tambor tells Barney Miller: “No matter who wins in November, they have their man in the White House!”

Kissinger has long had his man in the White House, a fact that is less testament to his influence than to his ability to accommodate to every right-wing lurch. In the 1960s, as a rising defense intellectual, Kissinger was a Nelson Rockefeller man, firmly entrenched in the center-right establishment. When he attended the infamous 1964 Republican convention in San Francisco, he was horrified by Goldwater supporters, whom he likened to fascists. Four years later, according to journalists Marvin and Bernard Kalb, he “wept” when Nixon won the Republican nomination. “Richard Nixon is the most dangerous, of all the men running, to have as president,” Kissinger said; “That man Nixon is not fit to be president.”

This Video Alone Is Why I am Voting for Bernie Sanders



I watched this video and gasped. Hillary might want to do some reform but will not put the passion and energy like Bernie would. This is why I support Bernie. Bernie will protect us against nasty GOP who want cut food stamps as reported by CBS News.

Hillary might just let the GOP get away with it while Bernie it is DOA.

Police suspect arson after Muslim prayer hall burns in Corsica

Source: Deuthce Weele

The Muslim prayer hall, one of the largest in the Corsican capital, was seriously damaged overnight to Sunday in what prosecutors said was likely to have been a deliberate arson attack.
No one was injured in the fire. Police suspected criminal involvement after discovering that there were two separate sources of fire inside the hall.
"If it is confirmed to be of criminal origin, those responsible must be rapidly identified and brought to justice," said French President Francois Hollande in a statement, adding: "Any anti-religious act must not be tolerated."
The incident echoes an incident in late December, when a Muslim prayer hall was vandalized in anti-immigrant protests that broke out after firemen and police in Ajaccio were ambushed and attacked after having been called to a low-income immigrant neighborhood.
