    Well instead of making remarks about Biden, race and social politics, and made this latest post your first post in this thread, my money is on we wouldn't have needed all that fluff.

    I agree the man committed a capital crime, the victim was black. Those are objective facts.

    Have you noticed how frequently a certain former president is often dragged in a thread that has nothing to do with him? Have you ever noticed that being critical of certain people frequently draws out calls of racism? Have you ever noticed that social politics is at the core of a certain party? So why are you getting on my case and not the others?

    Simple case of murder two or voluntary manslaughter.
    Happens everyday.
    This guy was scared, armed, and started playing Rambo. He has damn little defense.

    I read that the shooter used the phone scammer to justify the shooting, I just do not understand it. I really hate phone scammers and if I have the time and in the mood I mess with them and pretend to be computer illiterate. What I do not understand is how can anyone think a phone scammer will come to their home. Most are calling from other countries like India. I get these calls frequently and have never thought one would show up at my door. Most are using calling list and probably have no idea where you live.

    Do people really believe this old man believed a phone scammer was coming to his home or is he just looking for an reason to justify his fear?

    I notice plenty of things, and as for getting on your case, you are the one that made the stink about the reporting of a crime. You know the saying, if you are going to dish it out, expect to receive it.

    I can't stand, scammers, telemarketers, et al. Only the shooter can explain themselves. Yes plenty of people will turn to a gun to alleviate their fears and in this case, tragedy.

    I'll be waiting for you to dish it out when a certain orange man is dragged into a thread that's not about him.

    owning a gun comes with responsibilities and risks... this man ruins his and her life with his choice to own a gun

    I support the second, but also want people to realize the risks and responsibilities of owning a gun, as they are real

    think before you own, are you able to be a responsible gun owner

    You could stop making excuses for cold blooded murder, but you people have to twist everything in your vapid attempts to stick it to the libs.

    Funny thing is... the only ones that constantly speak of race and victimization is the left wing, and MSM... But lovely projection on your part!

    This post is typical Trumpian confession and deflection flaming. Seems like the topic is not in your wheel house or my post simply nailed it and that must have been a wee uncomfortable. Tough for but see what you can do when the truth is hard to deal with.

    sadly for him, he won't be voting in Roevember.

    And a typical dystopian rebuttal, with claiming 'truths', yet not listing a single truth, as there was no mention what so ever in the OP regarding a political affiliation, nor any mention of the perp consuming any propaganda at all. Just mere blind projection and vitriol. One thing is for sure, however... Trump has broken many, many minds. Your post is a beautiful example of it.

    Here's the think that one should really consider before mouthing off because of the accuracy of my post that trigger this level of flailing, he won't be able to vote in Roevember, he'll be in jail. That's the logic displayed by those hooked on fear and anger of "The Boogieman" driven by RW media. And, sadly, MAGA logic. You response runs away for those facts.

    Murder rates may be down but overall crime is up. Yes, Biden's weal on crime policies has increased the fear people are experiencing. This is why Biden refuses to run on law and order. Fear Trump is Biden's only platform he's running on.

    Murder rates might be down but overall crime has risen during Biden's regime. Of course Democrats want to hide this fact and call out MAGA's for fear mongering. It's all you have to boast about.

    This dude was so sacred you should ask your self why. And since he's going to jail and can't vote, that seems counter productive to the victim and fear mentality sold on RW media. One less vote and a woman dead that Uber sent to his home when he called for a ride. Sad...other American's are not the enemy. That kinda of propaganda is where Russia lives on the internet.

    This coming from the same person chanting of "The Boogieman", yet is fixated on delusions or grandeur and still hasn't listed a single fact. But... it is fun watching your rage grow with each response. Have you thought of taking up meditation per chance? It might help with the anger issues.

    My first thought after seeing him was the possibility he has mental issues.

    Yes it was you and the poster SteveN that brought race and politics into this unrelated thread, and to everyone's comic relief, both of you are the ones complaining about about politics and race.

    Pick and choose, irony or hypocrisy.
