    The shooter belongs in prison and so do the people who instigated and encouraged that murder.

    I also don't think that this case is representative of America's Gun Violence. It's a perfect example of the mob mentality and complete lack value of human life that we face as a whole.

    Why not blame it on the asshole that shot an innocent man in the head?

    BTW, what did abortion ever do to you?

    Part of my old job was to moderate comments. As a result, I never read comments. Humanity at its absolute worst.

    You folks are all right, though -- most of y'all anyway.

    Well how do you think the conversation went?

    Do you think it went like this:

    "I dare say, Jonathan, this chap has received a sufficient amount of blows and is now under my control."

    "Poindexter, I humbly care to submit the notion that it is now incumbent upon you to complete the task you have embarked upon and discharge your weapon into his cranial region."

    "Yes. Yes. Yes indeed. I do believe you are correct, Jonathan, with your assertion and I shall now discharge my sidearm into this chap's cranium."

    POW!

    "Poindexter, I do hear the police sirens nary approaching and I urge you to take flight as they shan't be receptive to your follies."

    "Thank you, Jonathan. I bid thee farewell."

    I can't help but wonder, what is happening in schools these days that makes people want to shoot them up?

    Easy Access to efficient killing instruments and add lots and lots of humans.

    So guns are here and humans are here so it is what it is.

    Guns + Hunans= Death.

    Oh how wonderful it must be to live in gun free culture/country.

    But fuck that I have my rights and you'll have to pry my gun from my cold dead hand. Yeay!!!!

    Well what is it then? Don't make me configure the entire spectrum of likely scripts for this shit show. Ain't nobody got time for that.

    All reports offer the scenario where some shitbird beat someone down and, at the bequest of his friends, kicked it up a couple notches and shot the victim in the head as he lied there helpless. How do you think that played out? Exactly what levels of intelligence were on display here that preclude making reference to such idiocy in as colorful manner as one might be inclined to do?

    If it is established the killer discovered the victim had molested his child... I'll sincerely apologize. If it's revealed the dispute stemmed from a quarterback controversy... I was bang on.

  • jindal is a clown. i am surprised he hasn't gotten a bump in the polls with these comments.

    if the father of a murderer cannot comment on gun violence, and a parent of a victim of gun violence can't comment on gun violence, then who can?

    I grew up there. I remember seeing a bunch of hard working, honest and caring people who love their families and neighbors.

    I'm not much of one to sit in judgment over others, though.

    So it's one extreme or the other? Man am I glad to not be saddled with your world view.
    Well what is it then? Don't make me configure the entire spectrum of likely scripts for this shit show. Ain't nobody got time for that.

    All reports offer the scenario where some shitbird beat someone down and, at the bequest of his friends, kicked it up a couple notches and shot the victim in the head as he lied there helpless. How do you think that played out? Exactly what levels of intelligence were on display here that preclude making reference to such idiocy in as colorful manner as one might be inclined to do?

    If it is established the killer discovered the victim had molested his child... I'll sincerely apologize. If it's revealed the dispute stemmed from a quarterback controversy... I was bang on.
    You know as well as I do that this case is not typical behavior. It is also not the first time you have jumped to this incredibly simplified and ridiculous view of Americans.
    It might not be typical, but it isn't exactly atypical either. Are you trying to say these senseless acts are really uncommon in the US? Given the seriousness of them... they happen with alarming frequency in my mind. Imagine if such acts were completely normal?

    RG never thought the portrayal was too absurd or ridiculous. Remember... I was only referencing the bozos at the scene. I'm not depicting the good people that are as mortified as everyone else.

    Yeah yeah, we get it. You think American gun owners are a bunch of dirty rednecks.

    Nice and classy, as always.
    Well how do you think the conversation went?

    Do you think it went like this:

    "I dare say, Jonathan, this chap has received a sufficient amount of blows and is now under my control."

    "Poindexter, I humbly care to submit the notion that it is now incumbent upon you to complete the task you have embarked upon and discharge your weapon into his cranial region."

    "Yes. Yes. Yes indeed. I do believe you are correct, Jonathan, with your assertion and I shall now discharge my sidearm into this chap's cranium."

    POW!

    "Poindexter, I do hear the police sirens nary approaching and I urge you to take flight as they shan't be receptive to your follies."

    "Thank you, Jonathan. I bid thee farewell."
