kallend 1,625 #301 January 4, 2012 QuoteQuoteQuoteAnd another: http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/law_in_cross_hairs_88DTorAzp2T5JZX5dAkXbM?CMP=OTC-rss&FEEDNAME= You have a serious problem if you confuse the mental state of someone with a technical legal violation with that of someone who dresses up as Santa Claus and then shoots dead six members of his own family at Christmas. And don't forget he was a Muslim in a Santa Suit and that this was an Honor Killing. That's at least as important as the fact he was wearing a Santa Suit in this situation. Do you think that being a Muslim is an additional indication of mental instability, then?... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

That's at least as important as the fact he was wearing a Santa Suit in this situation. Do you think that being a Muslim is an additional indication of mental instability, then? You imply that the "Muslim" part of the sentence is what he was referring to as "important". Perhaps he meant "Honor" Killing", not Muslim. I'll play that game - Do you consider honor killings to be very sane and a wonderful aspect of any culture? ...

What would you have done to Identify this individual as a Nutter before he obtained his weapon(s)? What law would you pass that would stop this but not prevent others from exercising their Constitutional rights? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gravitymaster 0 #307 January 4, 2012 I think that the mental and cultural issues involved to justify an honor killing are more significant than the fact that he wore a Santa Suit. I also question why you choose to ignore that fact in favor of the Santa Suit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SkyDekker 1,123 #309 January 4, 2012 QuoteI think that the mental and cultural issues involved to justify an honor killing are more significant Probably in line with the mental and cultural issues involved to justify shooting intruders of your neighbours property in the back? Protecting property. Daughters are worth something and worthless when seen as no longer pure. I can understand you disagreeing with the concept of daughters and wives as property. However, I don't understand why you would disgree with the concept of using lethal force to protect property. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnRich 4 #310 January 4, 2012 QuoteNope. I think he was just a nutter with a gun. A hextuple homicide is not the same as a paperwork discrepancy, regardless of what JohnRich thinks. I didn't say they were. But they both broke the law with a gun, and are therefore "nutters" according to some people. Not you, of course, because we all know that you love guns and the 2nd Amendment.

JohnRich 4 #320 January 4, 2012 Quote Another tragic story - although the parents are the nutters in this case. content.usatoday.com/communities/ondeadline/post/2012/01/young-male-with-gun-shot-and-killed-at-texas-school-/1 There is nothing in that story to indicate that the parents had anything to do with the teens acquisition of the gun. Do you have a new law for us to prevent such tragedies? How about we ban handguns from juveniles? Oh wait, that's already a law. How about we ban guns from schools? Oh wait, that's already a law. How about we prohibit the brandishing of weapons? Oh wait, that's already a law. Whatcha got for us, kallend? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
