    So why didn't she call them again?



    Maybe she didn't have to to call the police and cause the boys are not going to stand around while the police show up. Sometimes one has to act in thier own interest and safety. It seems as though she or a neighbor did call the police after the boy was shot.

    You don't think someone has the right to defend their self?

    If everyone on the block knew about this kid and their behaviour then why did no one else call the Police or back the woman up?



    The story does not say that the police have not been called out before on account of these boys.

    As far as backing the woman up, according to the article her neighbors did back her up and say the shooting was justified. Someone even called the police to post bail in case she had been arrested.

    This story is a sad indictment of the society in which the woman lives.



    True.

    I guess his GSW will rack up some street cred.

    ??? my 'Gunner' has more 'surface area' than my motorcycle helmet.



    Holy shit, dude. :P Yes, we all know that your motorcycle and other low profile, open-face motorcycle helmets will work fine. I was replying to the OP asking about the huge full-face helmet from the link he provided.

    I edited my post to be more specific.

  7. A motorcycle helmet like the one you posted has too much surface area for skydiving. You may be able to see your handles while on the ground, but try doing that while flying belly at 120+ mph.

    A larger surface area means more resistance to the "wind".

    After reading through your other posts, you should take davelepka 's advice.

    You don't need a firearm to defend yourself. If this guy did, there would be a dead bad guy on his floor.


    And justifiably so.

    You could stop most bad guys with a couple good hits.


    True, but I'd rather approach a bad guy in my home with a gun pointed at him.

    Why are the US Marines protecting German owned vessels?

    People bitch, whine and moan about NATO and the UN, why is this different?



    You must have missed this part of the article...

    Twenty-four U.S. Marines from the force, which was aboard the USS Dubuque and operating under the multinational anti-piracy combined task force, boarded the M/V Magellan Star at about 5 a.m. local time, the Fifth Fleet said.

    Similar rules apply in both. :P



    Truer words have never been spoken.

    Do I look like someone not only approachable in an adult store but knowledgeable as well?



    I've never met you, but judging by your avatar pic, you do.

  11. So what? I can find that same shit in the bible. You post this as if the bible mentions nothing similar.

    By the way, I think Islam is a sham -- a religion with cowardly men who marry young girls, sell their daughters and cover their wives. But I don't exactly have anything nice to say about Christianity either. I just think shit like this is more prevalent/accepted in Islam than in any other religion.

    That and it's overly melodramatic - the accidents are bad enough for the shock-factor and they just go a little bit too far so that in some moments the drama overshadows the event. Still, makes you think.



    The shock-factor doesn't work. Most might, at most, say oh shit when we see someone get plowed over on World's Scariest Crashes or Most Shocking [event here] tv show. The drama added value to this video.

    killed on the spot, yes. But medical types are exposed to a number of diseases and radiation on a daily basis. Those do impact and can shorten life. Compared to a logistics clerk at an Army base stateside, it's certainly a higher level of risk for the lab techs at the hospital.



    You're comparing the idea stateside enlistment to medical types being exposed to XXXX without any safeguards, one extreme against another. Ofcourse they're exposed to it, but there are many guards and measures in place to ensure they don't get it. That's why there are not any epidemics of medical staff getting diseases or radiation poisoning. Sort of like skydiving, it is inherently dangerous, but there are measures in place to ensure that people going in are rare exceptions and not the rule -- same with people in the medical field being exposed to [insert here].

    On a lighter note, I would guess that it's frustrating to be a cop on major roads. Everyone you drive behind slows down to the speed limit. ;)



    On 95 in Va/MD cops are like friggen' pace cars with a mob of pissed off drivers in line. As soon as he pulls off on an exit its like the start of a Nascar race. Cracks me up everytime :D
