You make some good points. Cops should be adequately equipped to defend themselves and takeout criminals. But how often do we see this type of machine-gun bedlam? This is the First gun fight I've seen where cops were decidedly outmatched by automatic fire power. Is this such a regular everyday, occurrence that we should panic and rush to hand every American Cop an M16? How many more innocents will be killed when average beat Cops spray their AK's into a crowd, gunning down some criminal? Second, the Cops would have been much better served with two or three sniper rifles than an armory full of AK-47's. Like you said, the concern is Cops, untrained or unfit, using imprecise automatic weapons in public. Why not train half - or a quarter of Cops - as sharp shooters and load sniper rifles in cruisers for just such a stand-off? This would address the publics concern for safety and the Cops need to end confrontation quickly with tactical superiority visa vis to what most currently use (handguns)? Third, how many taser "related" deaths have we seen across the Country? Lots. Over 40 and counting. Two Canadian Doctors and an American civil Judge found Tasers were the definitive cause of death in three cases. Its common sense: Taser shocks release 50,000 volts of current into the human body, seizing neurons that innervate muscle tissue but not cardiac or lung tissue? Right. These weapons are akin to jamming a fork into an electrical socket. Every week we hear reports of Cops wildy shocking the eldery, infirm and children several times! Three, four, five times! On one person! And then we're surprised Tasers are implicated in all these deaths? Its just plain stupid. So if this the is the type "discretion" we can come to expect from everyday Cops when they get a new Toy to play with, how much more can we trust the entire Nations Police Force swaggering about with Ak-47's? Cops still have SWAT as a backup. Another fact to consider - Courts and Juries are becoming less and less inclined to convict Cops in any type of excessive force or manslaughter case. Its exceedingly difficult for the average person to even bring a cop to trial civilly, as most District Attorneys will refuse to even file charges. Well-known cases like Rodney King and recent New York shooting were egregious cases of excessive force and negligent manslaughter. Nothing happens. Sure, theres a lot a bloodlust out there - F* Rodney King, he was a wanted felon who deserved it blah blah blah. The fact of the matter, we live in a Society where Rule of Law is king. As soon as we accept Street Justice as an acceptable form of retribution served by the "Boys in Blue", that boot is gonna be stomping on our face pretty soon.
More lies and more libel. Is it a wonder why the Country is sick of you Neoconned Filth. Coming from a Guy who considers Anne Kuntler a "trusted source", you're world view is inherently fucked. Oh yea, and lets not forget that orgy of Muslim Conquerers destined for Americas shores as soon as we leave Iraq. Ain't that right, Hapadouche? You actually believe that Al Queda has Tens-of-Millions of Terrorists who, on a moments notice, will infiltrate America and Kill Us All. And its such a "real and credible threat", that in your world, it justifies gutting the entire Constitution and endless War abroad. You Neoconned Fascists did more to destroy this Country than Al Queeda ever could. By the way, I thought you were "done with me"? Guess not, eh Douchebag?
As usual, my paranoid friend, you are wrong. No, I do not believe there are tens of millions of terrorists set to infiltrate our country. Not at all. Talk about "lies and libel"!! Do I believe they have tens of millions of supporters in the Muslim world? Absolutely. However, as 9/11 was carried out by only a small number of terrorists, it's obvious tens of millions are not needed to do enormous damage. But then again, since you're convinced Bush planned and executed 9/11, and that he or the next administration will do so again, it really doesn't matter does it?!? Well, again, since you believe Neocon Fascists a la Bush planned and executed 9/11, of course you think this way. Oh you are quite done, brah! It's apparent to any reasonable person that you never had a solid argument to begin with, and your rabid response to a post I made TO SOMEONE ELSE is just further proof of your further psychosis. I just like to watch wackos like you get their panties in a knot. Take care! H p.s. I've got a buddy in the NSA and I've made him aware of your presence. I sent him a few of your posts, too. He said they have a file on you thicker than the yellow pages, and he gives you credit for evading them thus far. They almost caught you at that peep show in Buffalo a while back. He says to tell you it's just a matter of time before your traitor ass finds itself in a FEMA-built detention camp, where you will be endlessly water "bordered" as you like to call it. So enjoy what few days you have left of "freedom," home slice! But hey, you probably thought we lost all our freedoms a long time ago, didn't you?
*YAWN* More of the same tired schtick from the same group of relentless Fear Mongers and apathetic assholes that sold this Country down the River. I noticed you failed to address why, if this "Orgy of America-Killers" was so diffuse and many, as you claim, why is the Border Wide Open? *****crickets***** Why was the literal Mastermind behind this Islamic 'Red-Dawn'(Osama Bin Laden), relegated to History's Memory Hole by your Fear-Monger-in-Chief, President Bush? *****crickets***** Why has the US Government failed to win no more than 10 terror convictions if the numbers of your "Caliphtic Legion-of-Doom" are so ravenous and populous across the Nation? *****crickets***** And why are the resurgent Taliban poppin' Crystal in Afghanistan with record poppy crops while American troops are chasing mirages of Iraqi 'Al Queda' that never were? *****crickets***** See, coward Fascists like you can't (and won't) address any of the blatant contradictions of your idiotic Neoconned Double-Think. The Philosophy of the Radical Right-Wing is a house of Cards. Built on Lies and sustained by Fear. You'll be sure to wake us up when your "Endless Scourge of Islamic Conquerers" land on Americas Shores.... It'll be good for laugh! Until then, you're just a walking canard, a Fear Mongering Shill whose ilk have done more damage to America with their Nightmarish Fantasies than any band of petty terrorists ever could. You're a closet-Fascist. Everyone can see that by now. Stay safe, Big Guy.
Backpedaling from your delusional fantasies already, huh? Once a liar, always a liar! Here, let me jog your memory: And here: And my personal favorite: WAKE UP!??! ROTFLMAO!!!! You "WAKE UP" you FUCKING PUSSY!!! This MORON ACTUALLY THINKS MUSLIMS ARE GOING TO TAKEOVER AMERICA, KILL US ALL AND REIGN A-THOUSAND-YEARS OVER THE SMOLDERING CARCASS OF AMERICA! Man, words can't describe. YOU ARE THE FUCKING NUTCASE. I actually thought you knew it was fear-mongering propaganda. But you actually believe it!?! Pushing your delusional fears of some disjointed band of third-world cave dwellers who will one day, invade America and and 'Kill Us All', is truly SICK. Oh man. I seriously can't believe you are that brainwashed. Please, what other fantastic enemies and psychotic hallucination's of Americas "Coming Apocalypse" has Anne Kuntler sold ya??? This should be good for a laugh...... Oh yea, and they're all plotting to kill Americans and Invade America! One can only dream, eh Hapa? Has it ever occurred to you that all the Anti-American fervor sold in shit-hole Islamic Theocracies is just a political steam-valve used by elites to placate the subjects they oppress? Just like Al Queda, or the War on Drugs or some other such BS serves as a useful diversion for TV-Head America from getting involved in National Politics - like Tax Reform, Constitutional-based Government, and a No-War Foreign Policy. I'm sure thats just 'crazy talk', right? Which is why the Border remains Wide Open. The capture of Al Quedas Mastermind is, "not worth our time". And the Tablian are getting high off their own supply in Afghanistan. Keep at it, Corky!! One of these days, everyone will see your "Truth"! When the Legion of Doom is massing their Invasion Force on the Rio Grande, as we speak, what matters is we give up all our Rights to Government....Now!! How else can we survive this assured attack by all 'deez terrorists!! LOL. I sincerely doubt anyone who believes a rag-tag bunch of terrorists will usurp the worlds only SuperPower - a nation of some 300 Million (armed) people - with IED's and dirty bombs, is capable of any type of rational thought. But, for those that still believe in HapaGirls 'Polemic of Paranoia', here is what I believe. Views, which this lunatic Hapaboy will continue to duck: I think that straight jacket of yours needs tightening. Perhaps another Haloperidol?
^^^Gee, would you mind reading what I post once in a while? I said I don't believe there are millions of terrorists poised to swarm into the US. What is very hilarious is you saying Bush relegated Bin Laden to the "memory hole," yet you trust Bush about as far as you can throw him!! I mean, he's the guy you claim planned and executed 9/11!! SO ACHILLES28, ARE YOU SAYING YOU TRUST WHAT PRESIDENT BUSH SAYS? Oh man, you're just so easy. Like shooting fish in a barrel. Post those silly pictures all you like, but at the end of the day, and every day for that matter, you are shown to be a paranoid, lying fool. Great entertainment, though! I think it's very important to see exactly what kind of nutbags there are out there. One question for you: If you're so convinced the government is watching you and those like you so carefully - what you post, your e-mail, your phone conversations - isn't the fact that you haven't been grabbed and water "bordered" proof to you that we are NOT a police state? The fact that you're able to rail against Bush and Co. without being fed feet first into an industrial shredder - how do you account for that?
Oh, so now a few thousand terrorists - not tens-of-millions - are going to level America and rule for a Thousand Years?!? Back to the trash heap.... WEAK Yeah, okay. Its paranoid Morons like you that actually buy Anne Coutler and Rush Limbaugh's Fear Mongering. A Caliphite in America? We're all dead? Legions of Jiddhadi Conquerers that Rule America? Whatever you say, Hapaboy You mean the kind of Nut-Bags who believe Al Queda will "soon Conquer America and rule for a Thousand Years"? Cause those Nutbag Fear-Mongers look a lot like YOU: Why would it? Internet Free Speech hasn't been attacked (yet). Because Free Speech isn't the only Constitutional Right. Any other "devastating questions" you got for me? Or was that it?
I would hope not. They certainly WANT to level us. And, if they ever have access to nukes....of course, you believe Bush, who planned and executed 9/11, would nuke this country before Al Qaeda, and that Al Qaeda is harmless, so basically I'm trying to convince a retarded child - that would be you, in case you're wondering - that eating its own shit is not a good thing. LOL! Your desperation is showing! You try to evade the question completely with an evasive one-word rejoinder in large font. Pathetic! C'mon, ac28, just admit it, you fucked yourself completely by stating the worst about Bush, and now you are basing a fundamental (albeit utterly ridiculous and paranoid) belief of yours that Bush has dismissed Bin Laden and no longer is looking for him on the words of the same man you do not trust in the least!! Weak indeed! You are a very dishonest person. Hey, it's Bin Laden and Co. that want to do this Caliphate thing, not I. Why don't you do a simple search via the mass media you love to point to and see for yourself? Or are all the articles about it hand-written by Bush himself? I don't believe they will conquer us. Do you? You see, brain-dead imbecile, my saying Al Qaeda wants to do us harm and establish a global caliphate (which is all easily verifiable, at least to rational human beings who don't believe Bush attacked his own country) IS NOT THE SAME THING AS SAYING THEY WILL BE ABLE TO DO SO. Just because A is true, does not mean B is true. Get it? Allow me to try and put it in a context you will understand: You are undoubtedly a lonely and altogether unattractive human being. Yet you have hope that somewhere out there is a female willing to have sex with you without demanding excessive amounts of monetary compensation up front. Now, just because it is true that A) you are ugly and lonely and want very badly for such a female exists, DOES NOT MEAN THAT B) YOU WILL MEET THAT FEMALE. I hate to break it to you, but you are in all likelihood going to remain lonely for the rest of your life, and will have to substitute normal relationships with your fantasy world where you are being chased by the evil gubment. In this fantasy world of yours, you are able to be the hero, the underground Teller of the Truth. You are the STAR.....But don't worry, the good news is, you're not alone!! No, there are more than a few ET'ers here who are as fucked up in the head as you are, most notably the ZZZenutroll. It is for that reason I have suggested you two get together and form Idiots Monotonous, or, who knows, perhaps your relationship will be closer and allow you both to experience close companionship for the first time in your lives....but I digress! Ah ha!! Here you wipe your ass with your hand and lick your fingers (yet again). Are these really the two best responses you can muster when asked if the fact that you are able to post what you post over and over and have not disappeared yet is proof that this is not a police state? You have the intellectual depth of a puddle, sir. Free Speech is virtually non-existent in a police state. Look at history. Speak dissent against the masters and you disappear and usually die a grim death. Nazis, Stalin, Saddam, etc., etc. So are you going to now tell us that yes, the US is a police state, but just is sloppy picking up all these dissidents like yourself? After all your maniacal, paranoid visions of being tracked by Carnivore, FBI see-through-the-wall technology, the NSA tracking all your calls, e-mails, etc., the multitude of FEMA-built detention camps set up to house those like you, etc., are you really going to subscribe the fact that you're still alive and kicking and able to post your utter garbage to a careless police state bureaucracy?!? Are you really that stupid? Yes, you are. Oh no, you've managed to hang yourself just fine with what I gave you earlier. I'm really looking forward to you giving me even more rope as you further try to worm your way out of having to face facts. And PLEASE make your rebuttals more substantive. I grow weary of your elementary and vacuous attempts to justify your paranoid fantasies. I mean, posting pictures of Ann Coulter only serves to get the Zzzenutroll excited, and your KKK/ghost jpeg is wearing old, too. See, if you had anything of quality to say, you would not need images such as those. Your words would stand on their own merit. You should only use pictures when you have a leg to stand on and want to emphasize your position; pictures in themselves should not form the majority of your "argument." Basically I'm saying that if you want the honor of my time and wisdom, you have to earn it. Have a great night!
Convince me of what? That Al Queda wants to nuke us all to high heaven? Thats why the Border is Wide Open? And the Taliban harvested another record poppy crop? And Osama is still forgotten? and on and on and on. The list of Neocon "miscalculations" keeps growing and growing. Your Neocon Heros played you for a Fool, Hapless. Just admit it. WEAK Oh, sure. Its NOT YOU who religiously Fear Mongers a Muslim Takeover day-after-day, on Elitetrader. Its "the Media"! Thanks for clarifying! And what "Media" is that, again? Oh, right! Rush Windbag and Anne Kunlter! Your two favorite Right-Wing Demagogues! Thanks for clearing that up! Yes, you do. You said so right here: You're quite a dishonest sort, aren't ya? OH! I get it now! So even though terrorists "want" to takeover the US they "can't". Thats a far cry from what you were singing yesterday. That Muslims WERE going to take over America and leave a few radioactive potholes, "to boot". Look, you said it right here: So which one is it, HapaGirl?? Are these Mighty Islamic Hoards gonna takeover America and kill us all? Or are they just talkin Game but got no means or Army do it with? Why don't you run off and consult Kuntlers blog, then comeback and let us know what you find! Just because a person Fear Mongers doesn't make him a Liar. I get it now. You're a "good" person. You and Anne Kuntler only want whats "best" for America. Even if that means scaring us all half-to-death with nightmarish fantasies of our impending destruction - that happen to be total bullshit! What an upstanding man of integrity and honor, you are! If the type of "women" you consider attractive are of rank and caliber of your Neocon Fantasy Girl, Anne Coutler, than its you who should be pitied. And maybe an icepick to gouge out your eyes out wouldn't hurt? Makes the Tantric love-making more endurable.
Continued..... BLAH BLAH BLAH. More recycled ad hominem and personal insults. Hapless, My Girlfriend would put your wife, girlfriend, blowup doll or weekly hooker, to shame. Trust me. Your some old Crusty, Neoconned Stooge who hates People, Freedom and Goodness, in general. A real Lady-Killer, if ever there was one! What exactly are you getting at? That you're full of shit and haven't addressed a single point made with anything close to a fact-based rebuttal? Cause all I see are grade-school insults my 5-year old Nephew could do a better job at jamming: "You're an old lonely Moonbat who couldn't get a blow job if his life depended on it. So there!" Devastating, HapaGirl. Truly devastating.... You're parsing. And grasping at Straws. Free Speech doesn't exist when Government shills are confronted on their Corruption or membership in secret organizations. People usually get hauled off, thrown out, arrested and tazed for questioning GODS! What you're doing is parsing one of the least infringed Rights amongst many and saying, 'See! I told ya so! We got our Free Speech so everything is just fine!' Its stupid of you to even attempt that. Rights exist along a spectrum or continuum. With each Right having its own continuum of being less or more free within that. And its only when considering the entire spectrum as a whole, and where we stand on it, can we conclude as to whether we're in a "Police State" or not, or to what degree. Not this child-ish "You-ain't-been-hauled off-yet-so-America-is-Free" BS you pathetically attempt to sell as 'critical thought'. The only stupid person on this thread is you, Corky. Your narrow definition of Police State is all-or-nothing. Either every dissenter gets hauled off for looking at Bush cock-eyed, or we live in a Glowing Democracy, where every Freedom imaginable is at our Finger Tips! Just another red herring in the big, boring, tiresome pile you've accumulated so far. I've got you in a Choke Hold, and body slammed your scrawny ass more times than I can count. And you keep running behind the Ref, like a lil' bitch, pleading, "Save me! Save me!" The "Argument" part is beyond you, evidently. I've made my argument painfully clear, time-and-time again. Its you who keeps running from it like a coward, stuffing your head in the sand, screaming "LA-LA-LA-I Can't Hear You" Over and over.... But thats come to be expected of Neconned Retards, like you. You guys are all the same. You ain't got nothing, HapaGirl. Might as well tuck-tail now, cause with each pathetic comeback and juvenile insult that falls flatter than a High School Rock Band, you look dumb and dumber. ROTFLMAO!!!!! There ain't nothing to "earn" from you, Hapless. What you pass off as "argument" are idiotic-taunts and gay-assed insults. Maybe try that schtick down at the local playground? You might even get lucky for a change! Back to that "time" remark. You say you're "done" with me. But this is post +5 now and you're still grasping at straws, pathetically trying to rationalize why Fear Mongering is a Good Thing. Sadly for you, that day will never come. Goodnight, Dipshit. Oh, and "Take Care"
