When I despair, I remember that all through history the ways of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants, and murderers, and for a time they can seem invincible, but in the end they always fall. Think of it--always.

Regarding active shooters, I think the biggest challenge is figuring out who is supposed to be there and who isn't. That is challenge enough in my building, but the neighboring buildings even more so. There was a bomb blast in the 2nd floor of my current building about 14 years ago that took the door off the hinges. It turned out to be the Coca Cola delivery guy. It missed one of the Naval officers by about a minute or less. The unsettling thing is that a spree shooter could be someone you know or recognize.

Funny, I thought I was making a case for being on extra high alert. Having reason to strongly suspect. Oh well. Wouldn't be the first time I learned I had no idea what I meant from an on-line fourm. Heck remember that was how I learned I was guilty of treason on TGF!
Oh, and David, even the Huffington Post says it is in excess of 50%.
The NAACP says 1 million out of 2.3 million
USA Today says by age 23 OVER HALF of all black males have been arrested.
That is three notoriously liberal "minded" sources. Two out of three places the number OVER HALF.
That was one quick search on Google. Like I have said; step #1 is wanting to see.
I gotta go now. I need to find a mary poppins avatar . . .
I'd rather be lucky than good, but I'd rather KNOW I'm good than HOPE to get lucky.
So you chose to ignore the links to the sources you previously "cited" showing your numbers were made up/wildly exaggerated and now have three new vague sources to support your position?That was one quick search on Google. Like I have said; step #1 is wanting to see.
This is a great strategy to never have to change your mind about anything eh?![]()
No David, I am not going to dig out the information again. I know what it says.
I quoted three bleeding heart liberal sources that say AT WORST the number I quoted is SLIGHTLY high.
You believe what you want to believe. I believe that when my ass is on the line I am paying extra special attention to what *I KNOW* poses the greatest potential for my untimely demise. If that makes me a racist, if that makes me a bigot, if that makes me a shit eating ass hole, I really couldn't care less. I WILL win the fight by being the most aggressive with the least hesitation.
If that philosophy don't work for you, I am OK with that. It makes me feel bad because I like you and your wife a lot, but I respect your right to make your own decision(s).
