Keep looking maybe you will find a purpose. Then again maybe you wont.

I guess that explains why she and Bill were invited to his wedding.

I can read this fine, just as I can read a post on Facebook that was upside down And backward. But I guess I am weird that way. Might be why I was going to psychiatrist in 3rd and 4th grade. Might be why I don't know English compensation well. Take your pick.

***That's got to be a lie. The EPA and CARB tell us how all their laws and regulations are working so good WELL that we should be happy for all the extra costs we pay in this state.

Don't they teach the difference between adjectives and adverbs any more?
I am sorry I dropped out of high school 36 years ago to go into the Navy. English was not high on my list of clases shop classes was.

That's got to be a lie. The EPA and CARB tell us how all their laws and regulations are working so good that we should be happy for all the extra costs we pay in this state.

I have refrained from saying this, because I was unsure how it would be taken. I really did not want to be called,some uncaring Asshole,or worse. But seeing as how this thread is going I will put it out there.
When I first saw your posts and this goes back I don't know how many year's. Cause I have been on here quit a many number of years. I don't know who was on here first me or you, but I will say every time you posted for a while,I had to look at your profile to see if you where a man or woman. Because your posts sounded like the view point of a woman but your avatar was a picture of a man.
So while I will admit to not fully understanding all the aspects of your life and choices. I think I could see it before you came out..
Not meant as any disrespect, but at least 90 percent of your posts I thought we're made by a woman's point of view. And I know why now.
So good luck and hope you have a happy life.

But some posters, including you I thought, were in favor of holding a gun owner responsible if a thief steals their gun and commits a crime with it. Seems arbitrary to me.

I'm not in favor of them being charged as an accessory to a crime they didn't commit and had no participation of.

I would be in favor of them being charged with breaking a law that required guns to securely stored.

The penalties for those should be extremely different.

In my world, lets take a hypothetical:

A burgler breaks into your house and steals your gun and uses it to murder someone. They get caught and are charged with murder and are sent to a cell for the rest of their life.

If they've broken into a secured gun safe to get the weapon then you're safe from prosecution. You've done everything you could reasonably be expected to do. If you've left it lying on your bedside table however, then you face some sort of charges for THAT - not for the murder, but for the lack of responsibility to allow someone who shouldn't get access to your firearm and you should have those privileges revoked. You've proven you can't be trusted with them.
So you recognize thieves can get into a gun safe easily but, if the owners don't lock their guns up in that easily accessible safe they should be charged with a crime.

***Bless your heart.

I think people should be classified by their chromosomes; XX = Female, XY = Male.

Have a blessed day.

Not always..... several anomalies exist


so are those gods mistakes??

from Wiki

Klinefelter syndrome is one of the most common chromosomal disorders, occurring in 1:500 to 1:1000 live male births.[4][8] It is named after Harry Klinefelter who identified the condition in the 1940s.[9] 1956 saw the identification of the extra X chromosome.[10] Mice also can have the XXY syndrome, making them a useful research model.[11]


48, XXYY syndrome is a sex chromosome anomaly in which males have an extra X and Y chromosome. Human cells usually contain two sex chromosomes, one from the mother and one from the father. Usually, females have two X chromosomes (XX) and males have one X and one Y chromosome (XY). The appearance of at least one Y chromosome with a properly functioning SRY gene makes a male. Therefore, XXYY normally only affects males. Males affected with XXYY syndrome have 48 chromosomes instead of the typical 46. This is why XXYY syndrome is sometimes written as 48, XXYY syndrome. It is estimated that XXYY affects one in every 18,000–40,000 male births.
Very interesting. I am asking this out of ignorance is there any studies of these people through there life? As to sexual preference, stability of holding a job ,friendships, family connection? And no I do not mean this in any derogatory way. I am truely interested.
Amazon you suprise me with some of your knowledge. I only wish you could put it across in less offensive ways. This post excluded, very well done.

Handguns are only used to fight your way to a good rifle

My point to that was posted above. You are clueless.

Well how about the original post. Or is cops consuming marijuana on the job legal? Now when are they going to be prosecuted for it? Oh that's right the union and judges are backing them up. Guess they were just doing there job eating that marijuana.

Anvilbrother

It's a discussion on a skydiving website about cops not a deposition. Have you never mentioned any statistic in the course of a discussion that you remembered seeing at one time, but found out later it was Misquoted or off the number?

Yes I once quoted you could trust law enforcement to protect you. That time is long gone. So yes I was wrong on that.

Anvilbrother

Oh I am just being thorough. So how exactly are cops getting off of all these crimes you think they should be charged for?

So you are just being obtuse. Thank you.

Anvilbrother

Yea because this thread is going straight to court.

So if it is not going to court it is ok to inflate the numbers by 600 percent give or take, huh?

Anvilbrother

What immunity are you taking away? Is there some immunity law?

Qualified immunity. Are you just trying to be obtuse or are you just lacking the knowledge?

n the 1970s (the first time the FBI started tracking statistics on officers killed and injured in the line of duty) and into the 1980s, about 20% of the cops killed in the line of duty were shot with their own sidearms. Thanks to high-security holsters (these require multiple actions or specific counter-intuitive movements to release the gun from the holster) and better weapon retention training, this has dropped to less than 5%, often much less. It happens, but these days it doesn't happen very often.

My numbers were old, so am I, so sue me, it does happen still more than it should.

High retention level holsters have reduced this number significantly. I had one try to grab mine during a fight a couple years ago, mine worked. Didn't work out so well for him............

As far as suicides go, I've had two friends do it in the last year. The dangers of police work aren't just physical, both were good people fighting demons no one knew about.

Is that the way you write reports also? My numbers were off so sue me.

Anvilbrother

You think the department pays for a cops criminal defense?

Well no the department does not pay for a cops criminal defense. The problem is the cop himself rarely ever faces criminal charges. It is the department that is sued and therefore the taxpayers pay out the multimillion dollar lawsuits.
Now let's take immunity away from the cops and see how trigger happy they are. When they have to pay for the wrongfull death lawsuits.
But I know I am not a cop so I just don't understand huh. Did I get that right?

In the edit .
I think this post answers your question.

skycop

Isn't there already a thread on this?

They should be fired, period.

If they took items that didn't belong to them, they should be charged as well.

If more LEO's, judges, DA's, police chiefs, police unions agreed with you I don't think you would see the outrage from citizens over this stuff. Because it would not happen as much. I know the percentage of bad cops to good cops is low, but when the public pays the price for those bad cops they want that percentage even lower. Might be a whole lot lower if the cops actually had to pay for the lawsuits themself and not the taxpayers.

winsor

I can't wait for the riots.

How dare you post shit like this. The community will be waiting for your apology. That is belittling black lives.

Anvilbrother

Yes we tried to start one but our chief said he did not want anyone else bringing it up, we then tried to join SGFD's uniin and were not allowed to. So as a comprimise we were able to start an "employee relations" meeting where one day out of the month the chief listens to people's complaints but 90% of it just goes over his head and nothing is done.

No a union can represent more then one department or company.

IMO no matter what you feel about this issue, vandalizing his home is simply wrong:

Jerry Baumchen

I agree his home should not be vandalised because of his actions. And I support finding and charging whoever did this. But our building at work sustains a lot more then this on a monthly basis just cause it is where some urban artists live.

Anvilbrother

Yes and his argument comparing someone getting shot at because of mis-identity in a vehicle scratch case v.s. mistaken identity in a multi-murder-multi state manhunt case is the same right.

Look I get the fact that cops should not shoot until the last resort to save a life or their own after exhausting all other options including not putting yourself in a corner to begin with.

As long as others acknowledge the fact that;
Cops are human
Humans occasionally make mistakes
You cant realistically change either of the above.

I would not consider either of those shooting mistakes. I would consider criminal charges for the officers involved. And at the very least a lot of range time to learn how to hit the target. But in these instances it's a good thing they shoot like shit.

Anvilbrother

Ahh yea your talking about the three unfortunate non fatal injuries cops did in fact do while they were on a manhunt for a guy who killed 4 and injured 3 others including a cops daughter.

Yeah that is a totally different context than me getting shot after being misidentified as the persons who scratched a vehicle.....

That's why you did not mention it in the first place.

Yea thank God the cops couldn't shoot for shit or they would have been fatalities. Matching make model and color of a vehicle is not important, it's a truck shoot it. Thats LAPD for you.

*** But I guess it is only the USA that theft and vandalism happens in.

Kindly see post#8.
Kindly explain post #8 then. It can be taken you were making a joke in post #8, and that is how i took it. Or upon rereading it it may be saying your initial post was a joke. But if that is the case why try to defend it after my initial post. Why Not say it was a joke then. But we know from your posting history the majority of it is bashing the USA. So please explain. Cause I must just be missing the joke.

***Yhea I would not leave anything I was not ready to lose out on the street unsecured. And yet there are people that are smart enough to design and build something like this that still have not learned that simple lesson.

Perhaps we can get your lesson added to our textbooks, because apparently it's not been taught to the Europeans or Canadians who chose to leave the little fellow unharmed, and rather helped him on his way.

Thanks

Well I did not have to read any text book to find that out. I realized that around second grade when my bike was stolen out of our front yard. The replacement bike was stolen 2 months later while chained up in front of a store. These both happened in Hawaii in 1970.
When I moved to southern California my green card carying Canadian nieghbor of the same age all ready knew not to leave anything out he was not ready to lose also.
But I guess it is only the USA that theft and vandalism happens in.

************>But you are not looking at it correctly - as the population goes down, they
> could charge an increasing rate

That's true. Think about how much you could charge a hunter to let him kill the last lion on the planet. The mind boggles. Heck, you could afford most mid-sized wars with a business plan like that.

source?
They get far more revenue in Africa from tourists who shoot pictures of the animals than they do from the few rich men shooting the animals with weapons.

On a per person basis I am sure the Hunter pays more. But there are far more people today that want to go on a photograph safari. And pay good money for it.
The number of legal hunts are low. Not low enough in my views. The photo safaris are growing.

I can understand the trophy hunters that pay massive amounts to shoot a animal that is past it's breeding stage and is not contributing to the health of the group. Those are normally controlled by the government or it agencies.
In this case though I would like to host the shooter in my garage for a couple of weeks. I have a few straight edge razors that need exorciseing. Plus my dog needs someone to piss on.

Great, how much money have you and your dog spend on wildlife in Africa?
Considering How this hunt was conducted. How much of the money he paid do you think actually went to wildlife in Africa?
