Ok Dave. Look at these statistics.

You have to agree that there's something wrong here.

YES!
The repressionists are trying to subvert the Bill of Rights
by screwing future victims out of their rights to self defense.
Victim disarmament is O.S.H.A for violent criminals,
protecting them on-the-job from the defenses of their victims.

Do you have any solutions to the tragedies unfolding every day?

Yes, following in the footsteps of the campaigns
to convince the citizens to wear their seatbelts,
thay shud be encouraged to wear their gunbelts and to practice for proficiency
at gunnery ranges. This shud also be taught, from early grades,
in the public schools. Promote rifle and pistol teams again. Teach battle tactics.

That's clearly a Colt, but I've never seen the color scheme before. Where is it being sold?

Yes. On that we can agree.
U have accurately set forth my position.

My right to defend myself from the predatory violence
of man or beast is non-negotiable.

However, I will concede that children shud be trained at the earliest possible ages
in safe gun-handling practices (beginning with: "be careful where u point it.")

A fight between a judge and a public defender broke out in a courtroom in Brevard County Florida on Monday.

Judge John Murphy was allegedly trying to get public defender Andrew Weinstock to waive his client’s right to a speedy trial.

Video footage shows Murphy telling Weinstock, “You know, if I had a rock I would throw it at you right now. Stop pissing me off. Just sit down.” Weinstock responds, “You know I’m the public defender. I have a right to be here and I have a right to stand and represent my client.”

Murphy then invites Weinstock to go out to a hallway in the back so they could settle their dispute with fists. Murphy is heard saying, “If you want to fight, let’s go out back and I’ll just beat your ass.”

Those words cud end that judge 's career.
He did not have proper control of his courtroom.
He is charged with avoiding even the APPEARANCE of impropriety.
He is not supposed to threaten counsel with personal violence.
There may well be a vacancy erupting in his judicial office.

@OmSigDAVID,

That judge must have missed the week in law school where you learn a judge can hold someone in contempt of court.

Florida dumbass...
Fake officer accused of pulling over a real one

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. (AP) - Police say a man impersonating an officer face charges after signaling a real detective to pull over on a road in Florida.

St. Johns County authorities say 20-year-old Matthew Michael Lee McMahon activated a red and blue light Monday while driving behind an unmarked sheriff's car. Detective Chance Anderson pulled over and was shocked to see an unknown face behind the wheel of the other car.

Panzade, I loved the coffee photo..

@ossobuco,

Me too. And it hits home because I make a Bustelo every morning except I use an espresso machine.

@panzade,

I don't, now, but I have a beautiful old whatsit (biglietti type) that I know works. Big problem is that I don't feel like fooling with it in the morning, since now it is years later that I used it.

Another problem is that I have about thirty links on all this and one photo somewhere that matches mine.

I used to use it, I know it's easy.

Ok, ok, tomorrow. The coffee itself will be wrong, but that can be fixed.

Florida man GRINDS off his jail tattoos with a steel wire brush

‘ Florida man is slowly recovering after grinding jail tattoos off his face with a steel wire brush.

The gruesome ordeal splattered blood all over Ericks Mackus’ body and left the 22-year-old with a sliced left eyeball. But the Clearwater man is happy the tattoos — remnants of his time in jail — are gone.

“Very painful,” Mackus told the Tampa Bay Times about the removal. “But we got them off.”
