Three Missing Ohio Women Found Alive Nearly 10 YEARS After They Disappeared (Plus: Hear the ‘Frantic’ 911 Call)

In reply to Kiba.

There are other methods of psychological control that long term kidnappers use. You may be interested to read Jaycee Lee Dugard’s book “A Stolen Life: A Memoir” in which she details the methods that her kidnapper used. One of them was to tell her that by staying she was “saving” other girls from the same fate, because if she left, he would simply get another.

Why Aren’t Dems ‘Pro-Choice’ When It Comes to Guns and Women? O’Reilly Clashes With Guest Over That Question

“liberals and democrats are much more intelligent”

In the eyes of a liberal, you are just too dumb to make decisions for your own self. You are too uneducated to take care of your own needs. You don’t have a high enough IQ to be a free man.

The true motivation of “liberals and democrats” is to control and subdue those they see as the dumb masses.

Sorry, got cut off there.

We ended up just moving out of the neighborhood. You can’t fix bad neighbors.

Smokie, Stinkybisquit, I feel your pain. My wife and I had a similar situation shortly after we married. We were living in the house that I owned in town, and a few months after living there together, we got new neighbors across the street. Although I never learned their name, they brought with them a pitt named Caleb who would always “Get loose” and wander around the neighborhood attacking other dogs and barking at children. Eventually the neighbor decided that I had called animal control on him, even though I never did, and began to verbally abuse and harass us. He threatened to rape me and my wife, and would curse us both out whenever we left our house, even if I was open carrying my S&W 686.

I never spoke a single word to him, just kind of took it all in peace hoping that he would eventually cool down. This made him even more furious, and eventually I did have to contact the police. They recommended that I hit the dog with a stick or a flashlight on the underside of the jaw when it attacked me. I am sorry, but I work with my hands, so I’m not going to get that close to a vicious dog’s mouth.

I don’t think the dogs temperament had to do with breed, but I regularly saw the owner beating the dog and slamming it into the concrete. I honestly felt bad for the dog that he got stuck with such terrible owners.

Anyways, be glad that the police are willing to work with you. In my case, one of the deputies was “friends” with the neighbor, so we ended up just mo

For your enjoyment, a word experiment:

“Assault Weapons” are a dangerous gun. Too many owners have said ;”Oh my AR-15, would never kill someone. He’s just a friendly little baby ‘rifle’.” and then they come downstairs for breakfast to find their kid’s face blown off and an AR-15 in the hands of a stranger.

Not many horrendous attacks from bolt action rifles. Just “Assault Weapons.”

Post hoc ergo propter hoc. Anecdotal evidence proves little.

Punish the deed, not the breed.
44-Year-Old Woman Goes to Hospital to Have ‘Hernia’ Checked — Walks Out With 10-Pound Baby She Wasn’t Expecting

In reply to gyro.

If the woman was from the east side of the state, then that would be likely. However, central, west and northern Michigan are all more conservative leaning. The rest of the state just doesn’t have enough votes to overpower the massive numbers of democrats in Detroit and carry the state in a national election.
You Could Soon Legally Carry Your Gun in Arkansas Churches (Bonus: What Other States Allow It?)

In reply to avgconservative.

I think this also brings up the real point of laws like this. Some would like to frame this in the argument of “Do guns have any place at a Church?” when in reality, the issue is “Should the government be able to prohibit people from doing otherwise legal things in their own church?”
Amendment 1 of the US Constitution states in part: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof”
So, there is no reason for the government to ban concealed carry, which is already legal elsewhere, based solely on the religious affiliation of the property or location. If the Church wants to ban concealed carry on their property, they already have that right as a property owner. Indeed, it seems that by creating a ban based solely on religious affiliation it is a violation of the 1st amendment because there are churches, like those that @avgconservative mentioned that would want to allow concealed carry as they otherwise freely exercise their religion.
