ALERTER'S COMMENTS:

Claims DU gun owners are the equivalent of Al-Queda or the Taliban

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sat Jul 21, 2012, 06:47 PM, and the Jury voted 3-3 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT and said: I have trouble taking bopper's reply seriously, but I believe the alerter's interpretation is correct.
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT and said: Broad brush smear and epic logic fail.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: A stupid post, but the argument violate rules
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: I completely disagree with bopper's reasoning. He is way off target. (unintentional pun) However, it's his opinion, and has not yet crossed the line. He's very close, however. Would not be surprised if he pushes the envelope in the next couple responses, at this rate.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT and said: cult member of what? the USA? broad brush smear insult of the highest order. HIDE IT

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.
