Yes.

When lone jihadists run amok, it is usually spun as a freak accident or an isolated incident.

Another poster made the comment about class warfare...even on FR. I was simply commenting on it.

Weird how so many people here are taking that bait, isn’t it?

I’ve been noticing there seems to be an awful amount of infighting here on many topics.

I wish people would keep in mind that when we continually fight amongst ourselves, it only makes the other side stronger.

“I lived in Chicago during the Carter administration and crime was rampant.”

Local administration has much more to do with crime in a specific community than does the federal government.

When I was single, back in the golden age of Ronaldus Magnus, I visited my college buddies in Chicago. A lot. During that time, Jane Byrne was replaced by Harold Washington. When Byrne was mayor, she kept Rush Street clean so we could go get hammered without much fear of consequences. Although I once saw Chicago’s finest beating the crap out of some guy, but I guess it’s best to not ask too many questions just how Mayor Byrne kept “order” on Rush Street. However, when Washington became mayor, the next time I went up there you couldn’t walk out of a bar without being accosted by several hookers. It was a whole different atmosphere. And Reagan was still President.

By bait, I meant that some people seem to be buying into the class warfare mindset.

Shooting this a.m. in Pinellas Cty, Fl. 3 dead, one hospitalized. Naturally, the neighbors thought it was firecrackers and went bk to sleep. The shooting took place where they'd been arguing for days per the neighborhood.

The media seem to hate gun but sympathize w/the shooters no matter how heinous the crime.

Ok, am I the only one who thinks the left engineers many of these shooting incidents when ever they think they have a chance of passing onerous gun control laws? Call me paranoid but every time they want to pass a gun law shootings increase. There is also the fact that the MSM screams each shooting out and makes people think that thousands happen every day. When they have a gun law agenda coming up the MSM increases reporting on shootings.

"Take away guns and some 23 year old POS will stab his 17 year old sister and behead his 5 year old sister with a kitchen knife. It's not the tool, it's the criminal using it. "

Exactly.. My daughter and her boyfriend are still grieving the loss of a friend of theirs, killed by his sister with a kitchen knife....during an argument over a video game.

[Califreak]

No.

They fund communist protestors. Why wouldn’t they hire a few red mercenaries to advance their agenda?

I’m not real big on conspiracies, but that as a conspiracy makes far more sense to me than the “truth about 9/11” and other such nonsense.

It really makes sense when you think about the 45 or so communist goals. which include infiltrating the media, schools, churches and government. If they would do that, why wouldn’t they stoop to some kind of perverted guerilla warfare to advance their agenda?

But then, maybe I’m just a noob with too much time on her hands.

If I’m all wet, one of the old timers will probably straighten me out. or at least make me stop and think.

Even if they get a little harsh, I appreciate it, because I’m still learning. I haven’t been following things very much until just recently.

Only if you think things happen in politics by accident. Have you read Matt's books...

Crime control is merely a straw man of the grabber...

Gun Control isn't about GUNS

It's about CONTROL

An automobile is a deadly weapon. Yet we allow nearly anyone over the age of 16 to have and use one. No one thinks twice about that. Automobile use is darn near elevated to a “right” in most people’s minds (vs. a privilege).

How many people die or are killed by automobiles in this country on a daily basis?

And don’t get me started on cigarettes.

But noooooo... Let’s take away the guns. Guns are the problem.

My a$$.

We get to call it a "man caused disaster" now. I'm soooo excited! :-)

No, you are not the only one... Since the left consorts with filth and psychotic dopehead vermin, it would be no surprise at all if empirical evidence could be collected.

Socialist Democrat Kryptonite .......gun control !

60 days +/- into this administration and all these mass killings.....weird !

Stay safe !

We just need to get a copy of the Media's orders. I don't believe the lefties are smart enough to act in unison without some collective guidance. It could just be coincidence. But the left doesn't like to let a good crisis go to waste, and are not above making a crisis to suit their agenda. I've seen NBC rig a GM truck to blow up for a news special calling American made vehicles unsafe. I've seen CBS go Prime-time with poorly forged documents to try to throw an election to the left. I've heard of the New York Times spiking a story about Obama and ACORN before the election that "could have been a game changer".

I'm glad to see our MSM suffering. But the left has already pissed away most of what was great about America. Sorry Dr. Franklin we gave up our Christian republic for atheistic socialism. We felt guilty for being the greatest nation on earth and have decided to follow the others into the abyss. (And yes I know Dr. Franklin was not a standardized Christian)

I think it's going to be a sign of the desperation of losing houses and jobs... just another symptom of the plan; but by damn, the compliant media will play it up Columbine style, every chance they can.

Marketing, ya know.

My source of news links is FR and AM radio on the way to work. I have XM sat radio but like to listen to the classic old shows like fibber mcgee and molly etc rather than the politics of radio rants.

I have direct TV and have locked out the news channels from FNC to CNN. I do check in on CSPAN and Thomas.gov for research !

For the past 10 plus years I have been here Freepers have a better record of presenting the truth on such news than any of the professional talking head presstitutes and polidiots !

Opinions aside and waded thru yet the facts are .....we must keep donating to FR. Even if it’s just a five dollar bill a month !

Toss money at this good intel source or walk in the dark IMO !
