    There. I dun went and shot 'm. Hmmm. Now what? Do you reckon I go to jail, Jimbob?

    Not if ya run away, Cletus. Git goin'.
    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."
    So it's one extreme or the other? Man am I glad to not be saddled with your world view.

    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!!!!


    What do the chinese have to do with it? Hehe

    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?

    As a rural American in a gun-loving area, I can honestly say this is not an outrageous portrayal.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Scruffy...

    You'd be a good dude to get together with.

    Honestly... I'd be a big fan of going shooting too. When I'm in Vegas... I'm tempted by the gun shop- it would be a blast to fire some machine guns (rather spend my cash on other stuff).

    If I'm ever making my way out there, you'll be the first person I message.

    This time you referenced those in the Dallas murder. What about the other times you donned the Cletus personna?

    I also believe that it was you who posted the article in the police abuse thread that states the majority of violent crime happens in urban areas with largely Black and Hispanic populations.

    It seems to me that you have a great knack for disparaging a group of people who you know little to nothing about.....for what? A few laughs on an Internet forum?

    Kudos to you!

    No. I never posted that article, but did reference it. I never spoke poorly about the minorities although you insinuated I have. Which is uncool by the way.

    Who am I disparaging? Murderers.

    You have an issue with that? How come? Why do you think I should view people who shoot other people with more respect.

    A few laughs are okay even if you think they're not.

    If you want seriousness... go search my posting history- there's plenty of serious posts: some you might even like. But don't keep coming at me for mocking idiocy. A guy that goes and shoots some poor guy in the head after beating the shit out of him can wear the dunce cap.

    I also believe that it was you who posted the article in the police abuse thread that states the majority of violent crime happens in urban areas with largely Black and Hispanic populations.

    It seems to me that you have a great knack for disparaging a group of people who you know little to nothing about.....for what? A few laughs on an Internet forum?

    Kudos to you!
    No. I never posted that article, but did reference it. I never spoke poorly about the minorities although you insinuated I have. Which is uncool by the way.

    Who am I disparaging? Murderers.

    You have an issue with that? How come? Why do you think I should view people who shoot other people with more respect.

    A few laughs are okay even if you think they're not.

    If you want seriousness... go search my posting history- there's plenty of serious posts: some you might even like. But don't keep coming at me for mocking idiocy. A guy that goes and shoots some poor guy in the head after beating the shit out of him can wear the dunce cap.
    I didn't say you spoke poorly of minorities, you are speaking poorly of what you apparently perceive the gun owning public. (You know, the rednecks. )

    I mentioned the article in that other thread because you pointed out that it is the minority population that commits the bulk of violent crime in this country, not the rednecks.

    I'm right there with you in pointing the finger at murderers. I have had enough experience dealing with them in real life.

    Anyway, maybe I'm a little too close to this subject matter so I'm having a hard time keeping my civility.

    I apologize if I offended anyone.

    Good night.

    Shoot 'm Cletus.

    Ya reckon I should, Jimbob?

    He's got a purtty mouth, Cletus... shoot 'm good.

    Reckon I should.

    POW!

    There. I dun went and shot 'm. Hmmm. Now what? Do you reckon I go to jail, Jimbob?

    Not if ya run away, Cletus. Git goin'.
    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."
    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?

    I obviously misunderstood what you were implying.

    Hey... I'm not thinking anything poor about you and never was. I understand I have a style that rubs some the wrong way at times. But if you understand I'd never hurt anyone or wish harm on anything (unless they worked really hard at deserving it)... you'd find I'm more palatable.

    Oh yeah... like you... I'm a massive fan of good music (played live preferably). Keep that in mind as well.

    dirty when can we go shooting together? you flying here or am I flying there? I already know the order of guns you are going to shoot.
    Scruffy...

    You'd be a good dude to get together with.

    Honestly... I'd be a big fan of going shooting too. When I'm in Vegas... I'm tempted by the gun shop- it would be a blast to fire some machine guns (rather spend my cash on other stuff).

    If I'm ever making my way out there, you'll be the first person I message.
