The Irony Is Overwhelming
#1
The Irony Is Overwhelming
First off, this story recounts the tales of two gun nuts who fired their precious guns at "shop-lifters" and were then surprised when they got charged by the cops.

http://www.rawstory.com/2015/12/indiana-...oplifters/

Quote:Indiana vet too scared to carry gun — or leave his house — after felony charge for shooting at shoplifters


But what is truly astounding is the last paragraph where a local cop has the fucking balls to say:

Quote:“That weapon is there to protect yourself or others,” said Sgt. Chris Snyder, a spokesman for Elkhart police. “And somebody that’s running away from you, getting in a car to even go further away from you — does that really pose a risk to you or to anybody else?”

Apparently, only if you are a cop with body armor and back up either present or on the way.  In that case, they blast away until the body stops twitching and then tell anyone in earshot how fucking "scared" they were.

It's that whole "do as I say, not as I do" mentality.

They should really say that to a mirror the next time they try to pull the lie that they were scared of some black guy who might have had a gun. There really is a sharp double standard depending on the skin color of the person.

Good video to watch, if you want to know how common the Jesus story really is.

That's an EIB on his chest.  I trust him to discharge in a crowd/open more than I'll ever trust a cop. Wanted to highlight one of his comments though -

Quote:“If I knew I was going to be prosecuted, I don’t know if I would have done this or not,” he said.

So, if he thought that he would be prosecuted -as allowed by our laws-.....................................he might not have gone Rambo? Imagine that. Perhaps we should encourage that perception in our society?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies.

In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

There's another thread where several posters have said that they would actually kill someone who is shooting at another person. The guy was lucky that they weren't there or else he might be in a grave.

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'
