masterrig 1 #252 January 3, 2015 I've noticed that the media rarely mentions in their reporting of a shooting death in the big cities, that shooting death was gang related. I don't know if it is the same but down here on the South West border, gangs have threatened newspapers and television stations if they report gang 'activities'. You can bet, gang members are behind many of them. Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

masterrig 1 #255 January 4, 2015 Drives me nuts seeing every day folks shootin' 'imitation gang signs. Even people on tv! Any one of those folks would fill their drawers if confronted with a 'real' ganger. Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
D22369 0 #256 January 4, 2015 Veterans day at the parade this year We got to the street a little late - just about a minute before the first vehicles reached us, just enough time to squeeze in - it was the best turnout I have seen in a long time. Next to us was a family of six, all the kids but the youngest were wearing hats, baggy pants gangster style - hats backwards, or cocked to the side. The color guard was nearly to us, I was standing behind Conner - he's young and only about 4' tall - "Dad whats this" he asked and then tried to use his offhand to twist a finger over the others and do what looked like the spock at the same time. where did you see that Conner? he did it to me he said pointing to the oldest kid. Means he's an idiot Conner - don't ever let me catch you doing that and turn your hat back around - never mind, colors are here off with the hat and show respect, doggone it Conner stand up straight ( he did know to put his hand over his heart ) Walking home after the parade I explained why I salute the flag and he puts his hand over his heart then told him what that hand signal meant and also the definition of poserRoy They say I suffer from insanity.... But I actually enjoy it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
masterrig 1 #257 January 4, 2015 Very good! I'm guessing but I think, people 'posing' think that people will think they are really tough. Gangers make all kinds of glowing claims about the gang being like their family and blah, blah, blah... When it comes to another member or them, they'll turn like a snake. The worst gangers are the younger kids! 10 - 11-yr. olds. They get hold of a gun and someone is going to die! They gotta prove they're tough. Till they get caught.

rushmc 23 #258 January 5, 2015 One thing comes to mind (which you either don’t know or care to know) regarding this ridicules rant is The numbers in the US are skewed to a point because of criminals shooting back at criminals Example? 16 have been shot in Chicago already this year How many accidental or domestic among these shootings? Not one Bad people shooting bad people over guns, turf and respect Yet you use an incredibly rare incident type to post your hate filled bs Hmmm"America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

SkyDekker 1,465 #259 January 5, 2015 QuoteThat thing about the person getting shot for whatever dumb fuck reason? I dont really care. I think this about sums it up.

rushmc 23 #260 January 5, 2015 Something to chew on QuoteIn 2011*, according to the CDC, there were 126, 438 accidental deaths in the United States. These break out as follows: Accidental deaths due to: 1) Motor vehicle accidents – 35,303 2) Other land transport accidents – 950 3) Water/air/space/other/unspecified transport accidents – 1,770 4) Falls – 27,483 5) Accidental poisoning/exposure to noxious substances – 36,280 6) Accidental drowning/submersion – 3,556 7) Accidental exposure to smoke/fire/flames – 2,746 8) Accidental discharge of firearms – 591 9) Other/unspecified non-transport accidents – 17,759 That’s right. Of the 9 leading causes of accidental deaths…firearms related accidents come in at 9th place, with nearly half the number of deaths of the next lowest cause of accidental deaths and fewer than 1/60 of the number of deaths attributed to the leading cause of accidental deaths. How many times more likely are you do die from one of the other 8 causes of accidental death than from a firearm accident? -Motor vehicle accidents – 59.73x -Other land transport accidents – 1.61x -Water/air/space/other/unspecified transport accidents – 2.99x -Falls – 46.52x -Accidental poisoning/exposure to noxious substances – 61.39x -Accidental drowning/submersion – 6.02x -Accidental exposure to smoke/fire/flames – 4.65x -Other/unspecified non-transport accidents – 30.05x *This is the last year for which CDC data is readily available.

grue 1 #262 January 5, 2015 mpohl TS. You and your ilk are being evasive. Why does a 29-yr old need to carry a gun, on a weekday morning, on a family shopping trip to WM? I am awaiting your answer! Also, you think she happily died exercising her second amendment rights? Or you think she would reconsider now and rather live another day? I am awaiting your answer! ************I don't feel sorry for the victim. Not one bit!!! mpohl P.S.: The real victim is the toddler. Jeez, What do you have against toddlers? Do you not understand how screwed up the kid is going to be for the rest of his life knowing he killed his own mother? Come on... I believe I covered that in the first response."Well hey, at least you are ok with paracide, and kids living with death as a mistake. " Why do you need to post on dropzone.com? You don't need to, but you want to, and it's not impinging on the life, liberty or property of another person so there's no reason to prevent you from doing so.cavete terrae.

Anvilbrother 0 #263 January 5, 2015 QuoteYet you yourself have said time and time again that in all your time on the south side of Chicago you have never felt in danger. So how bad is it really Kallend. You can't have it both ways!!! We have major inner city issues and gangs. Most of them are shooting each other. I do not feel threatened either. Because I know America is a safe place. Chicago is a safe place. I have been to Atlanta 3 times and Detroit countless times. You know better than what you speak. You just refuse to accept the truth. America is a great place with inner city violence. Does other nations have inner city violence/culture like we have yet are safer because of gun laws. Stop trying to make the US look bad when you know better. Again you can not have it both ways and you have stated repeatedly in you anti gun rants that you have never needed one on the south side. So how bad is Chicago actually Kallend. Should we all move over seas because the drug dealers are killing each other?!?! Well said. I will post a map of the race distribution in Baton Rouge, Louisiana where I live from the census. I compared it to a murder map for the area from 2012, 2013, 2014 and added the murders to the race map as best I could. I also outlined the predominantly black poor urban gang infested areas.

SkyDekker 1,465 #268 January 5, 2015 rushmc***Earnings are indeed income. As is welfare But welfare is re-distributed money Pretty much all money is re-distributed. Unless you get it first "off the press", after that all it does is get re-distributed until it is taken out of circulation. If you meant it in a figurative sense.
