I choose to live and work someplace where I don’t need to be armed with a firearm to protect myself or others. The greatest danger I face from day to day in LA is not being physically attacked by an armed assailant. It’s being run over by a lazy or distracted driver.
These asshats!
My wishes for a speedy fix and less shoveling for you.
yep, apart from having to use the masses of bottled water i put aside for emergencies while we wait for a plumber... old pipes, awkward places, one let go so we had to turn the water off. But we have heat, power, food and the 'emergency' water so all's good. Just been outside clearing part of the driveway of the snow and sheet ice. I'm sweating!

Or maybe live in a safe area where people have no need to defend themselves with firearms at the mall.
And how do you recognize those people? Does a red caret appear over their heads? Do they carry firearms? Do they not carry firearms?
The police shoot too many people too. We’d be safer if most officers were unarmed.
So then people should never call the police if they're armed with guns, right?
You should avoid calling the police if at all possible. Often when they show up they only make a bad situation worse. They’re heavily-armed, overly aggressive, and poorly trained. Always a bad combination.
If you're in favor of disarming the government, I'd definitely support that.
I’m in favor of reducing the number of armed police officers. A few teams will still carry guns to deal with violent situations, but they should more highly-trained than the average cop on the street and held to higher professional standards.
I certainly have no objections against good training for police and gun usage.
Hope your stay was enjoyable. Sounds like there was plenty of good eating. How are the parents doing?
I'm not so sure Breonna Taylor would agree with you.
Like in England apparently
Reginald Denny was a white man who became an innocent victim at the backend of a tragic set of dominoes started when police abused the rights of a black man that, fortunately, a white man was able to record and share with the world. Black Samaritans came to his aid and saved his life for which Reginald Denny was forever grateful. The 4 black males who attacked Denny were charged and incarcerated. The police officers who beat up Rodney King never faced judicial consequences. No police officers came to the aid of Reginald Denny. A white citizen helped a black man and black citizens aided a white man. I believe that Breonna Taylor‘s boyfriend’s second amendment writes were violated. No lawyer, for the NRA offered their services pro bono in defense of Breonna Taylor’s life. Oh, and HisArpy, as it always needs to be said, is a terrible human and not the best custodial worker for your law offices.
too many people live this way, always believing people coming onto their property spells immediate danger... a consideration coddled and fanned by gun sellers/manufacturers and too many politicians in this country. His neighbour, however, had a different take on his state of mind, saying (not in this article) that the shooter had become increasingly more angry at people turning in his driveway.
what kind of shit thinking is this? (rhetorical question) starting a dialogue doesn't normally mean shooting someone, accidentally or not.
This incident occurred the same week a cheerleader was shot in Texas when she accidentally mistook a same model car for her ride.
