Sharpton condemns knockout attacks [View all] B2G Nov 2013 OP

AR15.com? geek tragedy Nov 2013 #1

You visit a site called a r15.com? Pretzel_Warrior Nov 2013 #2

I just googled the quote B2G Nov 2013 #4

Great! I am sure there are far more reputable sources Pretzel_Warrior Nov 2013 #7

Well the best I could do is the NYP B2G Nov 2013 #13

This news is not wanted here apparently warrant46 Nov 2013 #61

Apparently not, but I have no idea why B2G Nov 2013 #63

I guess its because of the source warrant46 Nov 2013 #71

BUT the content is valid. Tigress DEM Nov 2013 #6

It's a hate crime. nt Tigress DEM Nov 2013 #3

Wait untill the first attacker gets shot. oneshooter Nov 2013 #5

Yep. NaturalHigh Nov 2013 #8

I'm sure your Mama told you "2 wrongs don't make a right" Tigress DEM Nov 2013 #9

Aready happened. Iggo Nov 2013 #11

Well Oneshooter, some of us don't feel need to kill just because we took a fist to the head. Hoyt Nov 2013 #15

A fist to the head is assault with the intent to commit murder. Packerowner740 Nov 2013 #19

Yes, he knows yahoos like Zimmerman are just waiting for an opportunity to shoot. Hoyt Nov 2013 #20

Where is Zimmerman involved in or mentioned in this story or thread? Packerowner740 Nov 2013 #21

Nope responding to you, and those in your favorite group who believe gunz are the answer. Hoyt Nov 2013 #22

You did see I have one. 1. Only one post in that group. Packerowner740 Nov 2013 #23

Some more folks should die... Decaffeinated Nov 2013 #36

I would expect nothing less from you, and the gun fanciers. Hoyt Nov 2013 #37

I'm 100% ok with that... Decaffeinated Nov 2013 #42

Learn to defend yourself without a gun is my advice. Hoyt Nov 2013 #44

Gun or no gun is pretty much moot if the thug in question succeeds in knocking you out, Tanuki Nov 2013 #80

If you have a gun, and are suspicious of minorities, you can shoot em at 50 yards. Hoyt Nov 2013 #86

I just hope this "fad" stops, and stops soon. I have been involved professionally Tanuki Nov 2013 #89

I agree completely. Arming up will just make it worse. I think Hoyt Nov 2013 #90

tell that to this guy...... Gato Moteado Nov 2013 #132

Don't attack people and don't have to worry about it... Decaffeinated Nov 2013 #93

Not true. Zimmermans of the world will shoot/intimidate whether attacked or not. Hoyt Nov 2013 #94

Bacon Air Good Morning OJ Simpson to you too... Decaffeinated Nov 2013 #95

Are you a 78 year old women who might actually need some kind of protection, or just a gun fancier? Hoyt Nov 2013 #98

Just to check... Decaffeinated Nov 2013 #99

Not near as unfair as you claiming to be a 78 year old, feeble lady at the mercy of the boogeyman. Hoyt Nov 2013 #101

You have this strange urge to fight fair... Decaffeinated Nov 2013 #112

Not near as odd as preparing to shoot someone over a bruised jaw. Hoyt Nov 2013 #116

Do you plan to talk about Zimmerman at Thanksgiving? Decaffeinated Nov 2013 #119

Better than gun fanciers showing off their objects of affection after dinner. Hoyt Nov 2013 #120

Aside from the fact... Decaffeinated Nov 2013 #134

Recent accomplishments? I gots me a brand new AR15. That ain't much of an accomplishment. Hoyt Nov 2013 #136

Different word that starts with A... acquisition... Decaffeinated Nov 2013 #140

Such an accomplishment. Do you use targets that resemble humans? Hoyt Nov 2013 #141

Usually... Decaffeinated Nov 2013 #142

Figures. Hoyt Nov 2013 #143

Poor baby... Decaffeinated Nov 2013 #144

Realistic training for what? You are not in a war zone, believe it or not? Hoyt Nov 2013 #145

Maybe you missed it... Decaffeinated Nov 2013 #147

Live in fear, if you like. Hoyt Nov 2013 #148

I have jumper cables in my car... Decaffeinated Nov 2013 #149

Do yo carry a defibrillator, much more likely to need that than a gun. Hoyt Nov 2013 #150

If they had a cheap portable one... Decaffeinated Nov 2013 #151

My point is, you don't carry your gunz for the same reason as a jumper cable, or fire extinguisher. Hoyt Nov 2013 #153

What about what you said had anything to do with that? Decaffeinated Nov 2013 #154

so, in your mind, the thugs running around assaulting people are playing a harmless game.... Gato Moteado Nov 2013 #125

you aren't going to respond to post 132 are you? snooper2 Nov 2013 #152

This isn't about Zimmerman. hollowdweller Nov 2013 #113

Still about shooting unarmed people, and worse being suspicious of people not Hoyt Nov 2013 #115

A person who has the mentality to sneak up from behind,... NCTraveler Nov 2013 #129

absolutely! Gato Moteado Nov 2013 #131

So your solution is to arm up and shoot them before -- based upon what, their looks? Hoyt Nov 2013 #135

You seem to be either unhinged, NCTraveler Nov 2013 #137

Read. You seem to be joining the gun fanciers preparing to shoot people based upon their looks Hoyt Nov 2013 #138

You are so far out there that it is hard to believe.... NCTraveler Nov 2013 #139

Not only that, but... pipi_k Nov 2013 #73

Don't worry hollowdweller Nov 2013 #114

Yep, some would rather be a cowering victim. Skip Intro Nov 2013 #60

Won't happen around me warrant46 Nov 2013 #66

Mo gunz. That's the ticket. Hoyt Nov 2013 #79

I think cc premit applilcations are up all over. Skip Intro Nov 2013 #82

Old white guys have been arming up since Obama was elected, and before. Hoyt Nov 2013 #84

Ah, the old racist, ageist fallback. Skip Intro Nov 2013 #85

There was even a recent "peer reviewed" study linking gunz and bigotry. Hoyt Nov 2013 #87

and yet the number of mass shootings prevented by CC holders is not up CreekDog Nov 2013 #110

The "cowering" ones can't leave home without a gun. Hoyt Nov 2013 #78

Lol. You know... Skip Intro Nov 2013 #81

Sorry, I may not be a gun fancier, but I can defend myself just fine, Hoyt Nov 2013 #83

If you are actually as tough as you sound ... spin Nov 2013 #103

Exactly. So the gun fanciers who think their weapon will protect them, are simply irrational. Hoyt Nov 2013 #104

You love to insinuate that all people who legally carry concealed are like Zimmerman, ... spin Nov 2013 #106

Too bad the other gun fanciers posting here don't appear to agree with you. Hoyt Nov 2013 #108

I can't speak for them. Thanks for the compliment. (n/t) spin Nov 2013 #109

Gun wouldn't help you in a suprise attack like that. hollowdweller Nov 2013 #111

it helped this innocent man.... Gato Moteado Nov 2013 #133

In your scenario, how would having a gun help you Hugabear Nov 2013 #105

Did you bother to read my entire post? ... spin Nov 2013 #107

Already happened... Decaffeinated Nov 2013 #34

Yep. n/t Skip Intro Nov 2013 #64

Sounds like it. Dawson Leery Nov 2013 #26

Ha! nt ZombieHorde Nov 2013 #17

Because the NY Post sucks ProSense Nov 2013 #43

Yeah, I know it offends some people. NaturalHigh Nov 2013 #45

RW rags tend to do that ProSense Nov 2013 #46

Why is it okay for some DU posters (presumably the good ones)... NaturalHigh Nov 2013 #50

Huh? ProSense Nov 2013 #52

See some of the other posts in this thread. NaturalHigh Nov 2013 #53

Again, ProSense Nov 2013 #57

Okay...you win. NaturalHigh Nov 2013 #58

Wait ProSense Nov 2013 #67

This place has changed a lot lately warrant46 Nov 2013 #72

Nothing has changed when it comes to pointing out links to RW rags ProSense Nov 2013 #74

FYI: ProSense Nov 2013 #75

Any idea why it hasn't been picked up by the LW sites? B2G Nov 2013 #47

Why do you need links to "LW sites"? ProSense Nov 2013 #49

Well good for you! B2G Nov 2013 #55

Again ProSense Nov 2013 #70

The comments section has turned into Stormfront.org! alp227 Nov 2013 #62

I guess there are no 'safe' links to post, huh? nt B2G Nov 2013 #65

thanks to right wing talk radio and chain emails perpetuating so much hatred and mythology alp227 Nov 2013 #69

Feel free to pick yourself up off the floor B2G Nov 2013 #28

The AR15 one cracked me up too B2G Nov 2013 #29

Yeah, doncha just HATE DUers who cite the NY Post as a source? Nye Bevan Nov 2013 #30

Lol! B2G Nov 2013 #31

LOL. I guess sometimes the NY Post is an ok source, if it says what you want it to say (nt) Captain Stern Nov 2013 #32

That's Hillarious! rudolph the red Nov 2013 #51

Was the NY Post piece a good article or a bad article? Harvest guy Nov 2013 #33

LOL Cali_Democrat Nov 2013 #38

Well I'm kind of curious now too B2G Nov 2013 #39

Does "LOL" mean "good article" or "bad article"? Harvest guy Nov 2013 #41

NYPost is not considered a reputable source. Occasionally, like the broken clock, they manage uppityperson Nov 2013 #48

Is this one of those rare good article that are good? Harvest guy Nov 2013 #54

Welcome to DU. William769 Nov 2013 #68

Good article. What do you consider this article to be? good or bad? Harvest guy Nov 2013 #88

Yep Kvectk Nov 2013 #27

Nobody is denying this is real Hugabear Nov 2013 #76

Sure there are. Skip Intro Nov 2013 #77

i can't believe someone in here is trying to portray the thugs as victims..... Gato Moteado Nov 2013 #97

It's just his schtick Union Scribe Nov 2013 #122

Truthfully, it's sad to watch gun fanciers promoting more gunz in more places Hoyt Nov 2013 #123

i'm no gun fancier.... Gato Moteado Nov 2013 #124

Not saying gangs should be allowed to do this. I am saying armed gun fanciers need to chill Hoyt Nov 2013 #127

fine....but i haven't seen anyone in here promoting the bigotry that you accused them of. Gato Moteado Nov 2013 #130

Let's reverse the situation. Assume that in a small number of cases, groups of white teenagers spin Nov 2013 #102

uhh Kvectk Nov 2013 #118

Which is fair. Hopefully conservatives would do the same if it was from the white community. (n/t) spin Nov 2013 #121

Ummmm.... "conservative" is not the same thing as "white" (nt) Nye Bevan Nov 2013 #128

Not always. (n/t) spin Nov 2013 #146

And how many threads would there be about "white guilt" in GD? (nt) Nye Bevan Nov 2013 #126
