In reply to the discussion: Another kid with a fake gun shot by a cop [View all]libdem4life
(13,877 posts)30. Again? He asked for nothing, any more than a drunk teen asks to get killed. Gee, this will keep it
to three sentences here if I use the three dots so...I guaran.damn.tee you that "adapt or die" has just a tad more meanings than just the old "slithering out of the cosmic waters." type. OK, 4...and he'll likely adapt because he did not die. See, that's the thing...we don't have to wait a few thousand years to finally get that it's really, really dumb to take real or fake guns out to convenience stores who have phones to call the cops and if you tell your friends and family and others, they might adapt real quick like. Fifth one a bit run on, now six...oh well.

Oh, please. Yet to such superiority I shrink in deference. Silly social sciences...who knew.

Saying a kid who was shot got what was coming because of Darwinism is a shitty thing to say.

Just think, if gun cultists didn't have so damn many AK/ARs, police would have known it was fake.
