Re: O'Mara: What Do You Do With a 13-Year-Old With an Assaul
Or Perhaps the boy wants to be a soldier when he grows up and was simply playing. Acting like he was a hero he looks up to. And the officer was poorly trained. Many factors could have been in play. Im sure there is blame on both sides for this tragic shooting. Im not going to go into the state of mind of either one or dive into a situation I know nothing about. But liberals seem to always blame games, movies and "gun culture" every time someone gets shot, then twist it so they can pass some law restricting law abiding citizens.

...the Deputy involved in this incident (Gelhaus) in Sonoma County California is a firearms instructor...

Do you automatically make up excuses for every scumbag, or only those with government ID?oilfieldtrash76 wrote:Or Perhaps the boy wants to be a soldier when he grows up and was simply playing.

An entity with an apparent firearm becomes an interest. If that person "points" that "firearm" at you... they have become a threat. As in the mortal threat threat category.
What's the hard part? An apparent firearm is pointed at you... what is your response?

If it's already pointed at you, by that time, it may be too late for you.

Who's making up excuses? I wasnt there. and neither were you! Honestly I think the cop screwed up big time! And I dont give a damn wether a person has a government ID or not, in fact if they do its usually negative in my eyes. Just looking at reality and facts. I dont want to speculate on a situation I know very little about and now im critisized for it? What is your opinion poikilotrm???

Well, Continuity has show an insatiable tolerance for reality-revisionism in continuing to converse with Poikiltrm. I myself have put him on ignore since, while I'm pleased to sharpen my arguing skills, doing so with Poik is counter-productive since he can look right at your words, then disregard their intent and insert his own. It's like a "straw man" argument without a shred of finesse.
Continuity, you are a better man than me.

I suppose an element of hopeless romanticsm is at fault... in the personal sense that those advertised by physical presentation as societies "good guys", are resposible for looking behind every door, under ever rock, into each shadowed area, for the most minute possiblity of reasonable understandings.TROOPER wrote:Well, Continuity has show an insatiable tolerance for reality-revisionism in continuing to converse with Poikiltrm...
Gotta admit, my flashlight's batteries are low, and it would seem, precious few additional rocks remain to look under in this case.
Perhaps the time has come to write off a lost cause.
