Hmm, possibly. Can see a shotgun being effective at calming situations down, if years of bar fights in TVs have taught me anything. As for wanting a lethal conclusion, eh, if the cops killed him justifiably or he offed himself, would be cheaper in long run and some people are worth tossing in a ditch (like anyone associated with dogfighting, for example). But him in a cell for his whole life is acceptable. Parents also may get charged, seems they got him the gun on Friday and I guess show no control over the weapon. 7 hours ago, Hurlsnot said: Hence my suggestion of a good whack with a bamboo sword. Can still beat them to death with it. Hitting someone once can open the flood gates of anger. So that's probably a risk. I guess the best weapon to maintain order is to threaten them with Gnesa.

Gromnir Posted December 2, 2021 Author Share Posted December 2, 2021 (edited) seems some people need attention even when their most recent ludicrous notion ain't specific being addressed. blast doors? *insert eye roll here* nevertheless, gotta applaud the sense o' teamwork on the double-down daisy chain being crafted. aside, the following is a decent run-down o' the jeffrey clark testimony issues (edit: recognize the second-to-last twitter response is editorializing as 'posed to analysis): the fifth amendment isn't a blanket insulator. mr. clark may still be compelled to appear before the committee and respond to questions. force clark to specific respond to those queries which might warrant the application o' 5th amendment protections, 'cause will be any number o' interrogatories which have no chance for self-incrimination but might very well imperil others.

Well, Im not married to the diamond shaped blast door (its sexy but it does look extra pinchy). Blast doors that slide from the left or right, or down from the ceiling would also work. Probably the most efficient and requiring the least amount of infrastructure changes would be a blast door that comes up from the floor. We wouldnt have to reinforce any walls or ceilings.

Guard Dog Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 I was initially put off by the idea of charging the parents with the school shooting in MI. But then I read they gave the kid the pistol. They knew he was looking for ammo. They knew he was thinking about doing what he did. They KNEW his wrapper was loose and they didn't take the pistol he had no business having in the first place? To hell with them. I was 10 years old when I received my first "real" rifle. It was a bolt action single shot .22 and you had better believe my parents drilled into me what it was and what it can do. Safe handling of that rifle was so ingrained in me it's still second nature today. Because pistols are smaller, more complex, and more dangerous (by being concealable) kids should not have them. Not for nothing is the age for buying/owning a handgun set at 21 in most states. 3 "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, egregious human rights abuses by the CCP is very similar to Apartheid system so its perfectly understandable .... this diplomatic boycott is not very meaningful but understandable "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

The parents played a part, no doubt and the mother is not very concerned about potential violent tendencies from her son. What did she say " Im not not angry....next time just dont get caught " ... But the son is still more responsible, he committed the heinous deed and acted on his own hatred and dysfunction. He needs to face the harsher sentence "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

Chairchucker Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Son had a bunch of obvious mental health issues that the parents completely neglected. On multiple occasions they failed their duties as parents, including buying him a gun, not securing it, not taking any kind of action when he was caught searching for ammunition on his phone, or drew a gun and a bullet and wrote 'The thought won't stop - help me.' So on the one hand we have an obviously borderline mentally incompetent child, and on the other hand we have two actual adults whose job it is to parent this child. Adults generally have greater expectations of responsibility placed on them than children do, so yeah, I blame the adults who should know better than to put a pistol in the hands of a mentally unwell child more than I blame the mentally unwell child they 'raised'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
