• Report: Hofstra Student Was Shot, Killed by Cop Trying To Rescue Her

  In reply to BlackCrow.

  THE BIG MICK, “If they can’t shoot EXPERT they SHOULD NOT have the badge and GUN!”

  Define “expert”. And how do you know if this cop did or did not actually qualify as an “expert” per his department’s range qualifications? And what are those qualifications? Was he an “expert” at punching holes through paper from a ninety degree angle in a controlled environment?

  The fact is that this story does not provide enough information for anyone to hold an informed and intelligent opinion on the cop’s actions.

  WARMUNGER, “Sorry but a well placed shot and not spray and pray was the proper response. If he can’t group within 3 inches he shouldn’t be a cop.”

  A three inch group? From how far away? Under what lighting conditions? On a moving target? With what angle of fire? Were there other people around? Were they moving too? Were they bad guys too or unknown? Did the cop just run up a flight of stairs? Did the hostage move into the shot just as the cop pulled the trigger? Etc.

  And the biggest question is Was the shot that killed the girl the first shot? If so, then the cop did not “pray and spray” and did the right thing by shooting the other seven rounds into the perp. The story does not provide any answers to these questions. Therefore, an informed opinion cannot be made.

  “He got off all 8 rounds”

  The question you all are missing is Which of the eight rounds killed the hostage? Was it the first round or the last? If it was the first shot that killed her then the other seven make sense. Was it the last or any of the other seven shots that killed her? Different ballgame then with many variables. Whatever it was, there simply is not enough information provided in this story to pass judgement on the cop. And I say that as one who despises the pigs.

• Will Retired Olympic Swimming Legend Michael Phelps Part the Waters Again?

  VOICE, “Great, just what we need another drug addicted swimmer in the water…”

  Just because someone smokes pot does not mean that they are addicted anymore than someone who drinks alcohol is an alcoholic…

• Bill Maher Mocks Tea Party Victims With Fake IRS Questions: State the ‘Approximate Location of Your Trailer Park’

  I wonder when Bill will do a spoof of obuma’s base by showing forms to get an obuma phone that ask the applicant for the approximate location of their baby daddy.

  WARMUNGER, “They are good at what they do and you know they will shoot.”

  I do not discount XO’s skills. I simply state that they are evil immoral guns for hire. Do not think for a moment that they would not fire on American Citizens once the gubment hires them to help with gun confiscation/civil unrest.

• S.E. Cupp vs. Michael Moore on Guns: ‘I Just Happen to Be Informed’

  May 18, 2013 at 8:51am

  Kudos to Cupp for, one, being well informed and skooling the lefties; but more importantly for have the self discipline to not punch that fat punk in the face. Although I am a strict practitioner of the Non Aggression Principle (NAP), I do not think I could keep myself from slamming my fist into Moore’s puss if I was sitting right next to him.

  SLEAZY, “it takes a big man to buck the system and a big heart to care about the violent death of innocent children.”

  Who exactly does not care about the violent death of innocent children?

  In reply to HollyRye.

  SNOW, “God help us but the dictatorship and police state are soon to be fully at hand, and the bloodbath will be immense.”

  And who is it precisely who will carry out that bloodbath? The military and the police. While there will be a very few who will disobey orders, it won’t be enough to stop the slaughter. And this is why I despise the military and the police.

  And do not discount too the use of war whores like Blackwater (or whatever those punks are calling themselves now).
