Ffs Flint. Read the thread then comment. If you have something to add to the actual topic then do so, otherwise just take your own advice and fuck off. You are being a bore.
Alternatively, if you have something personal to say, then come to the point instead of making smart remarks. In response to your question about lables, no i am not and i fail to see how you could come to that conclusion even if you had read this thread in its entirety. V, yes you are correct. On all points in fact.

Thought I was pretty clear.

This has been all over the news here. It all seems pretty cut an dried to me, with not a whole lot of doubt about the circumstances, so imo, with the knowledge I have at hand, it's another shocking, senseless crime ending in a loss of life. These kids should have their trial, but I think the jury should remember they're kids. I don't agree with the death penalty, so I don't think that should be an option. I don't think it should have any bearing on where the victim came from. He's a person like any other victim and deserves justice to be served. I hope it is.

Ok, reading that last post back, it's a bit aggressive. Sorry.

What about the guy that walked into a school in Georgia and fired shots? No mention of his racial characteristics in any news reports I've seen. Is that racism? White privilege?

Ali, some of my facebook right wing repubs are posting about how gun violence is out of control in Australia despite strict Australia laws. Can you comment and confirm or deny these allegations?

There's no doubt gun crime is on the rise, but so are other crimes too. I would say one gun crime could be called out of control because any crime signifies a loss of control. As always, its the criminals causing the problems though. Most of the gun crimes seem to be related to other initial crimes such as robberies etc. Drug issues and gang related violence. The usual suspects in other words. It would be happening regardless of our laws imo.

I wonder how many municipalities there are in the US where this guy would have avoided arrest?

Well, if more patriots like John Dodrill and Urbane Guerrilla would shoot these damn cookie pushers, it would benefit the nations health and support the local Bodegas... um, I mean 7-11s, who pay taxes to support the political system, and finance truth, justice, and the American way.
