lol...you bad.
It was Barney Fudd?
Biden delivered that in the same manner as GWB did right after teh attacks on 9/11 began...
The gasps from that crowd were incredible...
What needs to be beaten into the mush minds that believe government and Law Enforcment can prevent, or in Biden’s words, deal with this senseless violence...Is not a government ban or restrictions on the instruments that are “used” by senseless people...But to encourage laws to be passed immediately to allow citizens who choose to do so, carry firearms on their person for lawful self defensive purposes...
It is a detterent, and reduces the number of people effected by murderers like we have seen in revent weeks...
But I am concerned that we will only see, what we have feared coming for a long time...
It seems to me people need to ask yourself this question...
“What are you prepared to do about it, and what are you willing to sacrifice for it?”

**I don’t like America. America sucks,”**
If he’d just waited till 2012, he could have RUN for President on the DEMocrat ticket.
Anyone remember the massacre at the Good Guys in Sacramento 20 years ago, or so? Same thing there. Vietnamese immigrants who couldn't speak English very well and couldn't get good jobs. Resentment, bitterness, hatred, etc. -- and finally -- a massacre followed. There are lots of other examples. Not as high-profile that I can remember offhand, but deadly nonetheless.
Fluency in English ought to be a requirement for immigrants. Liberals (who also hate America, coincidentally) focus on the guns. They should be focusing on stuff like this instead. Focusing on hatred of America would be best, but then that might make them a little uncomfortable.
**Rep. Maurice Hinchey said the gunman had recently been let go from a job at IBM but NBCnewyork has learned that Voong had never worked at the computer giant. **
As we call him... Comrade MO HIN CHEE, has one minor personality flaw... if his lips are moving... He’s LYING. He’s one of those who would lie, even if the Truth would cause LESS of a problem.
I find this odd

Perhaps he was up to date on his taxes. On a more serious note, given the current pro-business climate in East Asia, he may have been better off there.
Zikuski, the police chief, said she stayed on the phone for 90 minutes, “feeding us information constantly,” despite a serious wound in the abdomen.
If you do not have a gun to sort yourself out, 911 is indeed dial a prayer.
Medics will tell you that the first health care move is to silence the terrorists, then you can treat the wounded directly.
Excellent points.
So the receptionist called the Police who arrived in 2 minutes and the shooting stopped 2 minutes therafter, yet the police didn’t enter for at least another hour. I wonder how many lives were lost by people who bled out in that hour that the police stood around picking their nose.
Now, I am not specifically pointing out a fault with police. How could they know the shooter killed himself? How could they know how many shooters there were?
My only point is, the police CANNOT POSSIBLY PROTECT YOU. Period. The only solution is to overturn most of the gun control imposed since 1968 and let people defend themselves. Period.
I don’t know how effective that would be against a man wearing body armor. If a good number of people had guns in there, at least they might have been able to put some rounds in his legs and immobilize the perp.
Either way, I can’t begin to imagine the confusion such an event causes. The shooter killed himself after the police arrived, yet, reasonably, people stayed safe in their hiding places for an hour or more until the police went in to get them, and all the while the wounded bled out and died, when rapid medical care could have saved many of them.
I’m not saying I would do anything different. I’m no hero. If I was in a closet and the shooting stopped and nobody was coming my way, I would keep a low profile too. Just noting the tragic loss of life that could have been avoided if some heroic cop or person in the building had the superhuman nerve to see what was up and found the one shooter dead, and was able to save the wounded.
So sad.
You know, I read that our defense spending is now going to focus on “counterinsurgency” and I’m thinking, “I wonder if they mean, in their OWN country.”
First, Mung Hmong is correct. Second, It was not his deer stand nor was he on his own property. He was trespassing and found the tree stand, climbed up and was confronted by the friends and family of the actual owners. He opened fire and killed some seven people because he felt "threatened".

That was at UNC campus in Chapel Hill, NC. He drove an SUV into the Quad/Student Center/Snack bar area and hit a bunch of people. You've never seen the media jump up so fast to defend a guy and hide all mooselimb references...by the time they were done with the story, you would have thought the evil SUV had gone on a killing spree all by itself.
“I don’t like America. America sucks”
Thank you so much! That story had been bothering me for a while; I was questioning my memory. I wonder if the fact that the MSM never mentioned it again has anything to do with that. Thank God for the news and discussion here on FR!!!
Sounds like Obama over in France dissing the U.S.A on foreign soil. Calling us arrogant.
