Before the "holier than thou" individual is done trying to prove whatever point he is trying to prove, he will have committed all the seven deadly sins. Talk about hypocrisy.

Here's a new activity that may cause loss serious injury or loss of life. It's called "Calling while Black"

https://www.yahoo.com/news/deputy-shot- ... 33226.html
Does anyone on this forum feel any outrage over these statistics? True, it's not a 'new activity' just part of everyday life in the windy city: https://graphics.suntimes.com/homicides/

Where is the anger? Where is BLM? Where is Al Sharpton?

First you have to address two questions.

1. From who and where are the drugs coming from and who's bringing them in?
2. From who and where are they getting the guns?

Instead of blaming only black individuals and/or groups from addressing the situation, which seems pretty typical from a few people here, why isn't our government addressing the situation? They don't want to, most want to keep things quid pro quo in order to point fingers. Anytime someone wants to address the issue, someone screams "second Amendment second Amendment". The NRA loves it, they love the fear mongering, it sells more guns and ammo. Their solution? Put more guns in more people's hands, even those who don't want one. It's ignorant.

Khun Ken, I do not think you looked at the link very closely. Whilst the majority of the victims are black, hispanics, asians and whites are listed too including one 13-year old white boy who was shot and killed by police. You need to read the cause of death to get a complete idea of what is going on. Once you have read the link in a more comprehensive manner your analysis will be surely welcome.

Are you asking Tamada the same questions or just me?

I was pointing out that you brought up BLM and Al Sharpton. Why only those two? Do they have something in common? If you're claiming now that it's not only a black issue why mention only those two groups/individuals not being outraged, along with members on this forum? And for the record, I live here, I know what's going on. It's a very sad situation with no end in sight. But anytime gun control is brought up, certain groups and individuals cries Second Amendment.

Those two were mentioned owing to the fact that they always show up when a black person is shot by a white member of the police, but where are they in other circumstances when a white police officer is not present. Why are they absent when a black woman, man or child is shot by someone who is black? It doesn't make sense. As for the thirteen year old white boy who was shot by the police, let's see what happens. I would not expect Sharpton or BLM to cause a fuss when a non-black is a victim of a shooting. I agree that black-on-black violence is very sad.

All killings are bad, no matter who does it and who's on the other end. The "thoughts and prayers" we get from the politicians when there is a mass shooting, that b******* is getting old.

Maybe white folks in America are just more accepting of having their kith and kin wasted by a cop?

I don't give a damn about Al Sharpton or BLM, they can't do anything about the problems that are going on right now as far as gun deaths go. It's those individuals in DC and at the State level that aren't addressing the issue. In fact they're going to be making things worse for the police in at least two states. Iowa just passed a law that no permit or license is required to conceal and carry or open carry, and Texas is about to do the same. Local law enforcement is not happy about this, but this is the politicians, the GOP, solution. Makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

That is literally going back to the wild West days .. no wonder the sheriffs are not happy...as you say they dont make the laws (politicians do) ... but take the brunt of them in issues like this .

So it's kinda like the NRA (and those of that ilk) versus the police using Joe Public as live bait?

On the subject of getting on the wrong end of the law, I have the dubious honor of having been apprehended and detained by the police in three different countries; Thailand, Iraq and USA, all for what 'murican's would call misdemeanors. The US experience was by far the scariest, most intimidating and dehumanizing but that could be due to the common language and thus understanding what the abusive mob of amped up, uniformed jerks with buzz cuts on a power trip were saying.

Amen to that Tam. I was arrested for DUI. the cop did the walk the straight line test on the side of a highway strewn with very loose gravel. Then follow the light with your eyes, but I have stigmatism so I failed both tests. Arrested and blood tested, I was only at 30% of the legal limit. Had I refused the blood test I was threatened with jail until my case could have been heard, when I asked for a breathalyser I was told in that state it would be in contravention of my civil rights. Crazy.
I had a bumper sticker in Texas that read 'Beam me up Scotty'. I often wish I could find one in Udon Thani

To assist Declan in his endless pursuit of conservative friendly, anti-Biden polls. :D
Sunday brought a slew of polls. Fox News put the president’s approval rating at 54% positive to 43% negative, nine points up on Donald Trump at the same time four years ago. NBC put Biden up 51%-43%, ABC made it 52%-42% and CBS reported a 58%-42% split.

No, no, no... redneck conservative lawmakers in the boonies want it. Not same same.

With regard to all this misrepresented and hijacked "God-given" shuyte, Jesus didn't pack an AR-15 either.

In closing (for now), Allāhu ʾakbar!
