....but, you're delusional if you think the people that have died from this thing that you consider a game suffered "little more than a bruised jaw".

I see nobody promoting bigotry in here, either.

let me get this straight: innocent bystanders that want to protect themselves should leave their "misplaced hatred" at home, but gangs of thugs should be allowed to freely roam the streets, assaulting anyone they please with sucker punches and tasers?

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

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

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
