God, I wanna buy you an ice cold, adult beverage. This sums it up perfectly. Ill settle for an ice cold diet mountain dew...or 2% milk if you bring cookies too! haha I stopped drinking regularly few years ago. Too much money, too many head aches. As for the article you posted above. You're absolutely right. I dont like playing the race card because I am white, my sister & nephews are minorities and I have minority friends but if the roles were reversed it would be a big stink. One of the best examples Ive seen was Christian Taylor down in Texas. He broke into a car lot, vandalized a couple cars, rookie cop came in and shot him within seconds. As soon as it was reported there were people everywhere saying that Taylor didnt do it that the cop was a racist yadda yadda yadda...I kept telling people to just wait for facts and not to judge either. Nope, the cop was 100% in the wrong, Taylor didnt do anything. Well once the video came out that Taylor did in fact do something wrong and yes, the cop was in the wrong as well...Everything just quietly went away. There was proof that Taylor wasnt just an innocent guy walking around a car lot. The point is the media looks for something they can sensationalize and cause a stir over. White cop killing unarmed black teen = STORY!....White cop killing unarmed black teen who appears to be high on something and is committing a crime, we'll sweep it under the rug. Charleston is another good example. What happened in Charleston, if it would have happened in a more "urban" type area like a Ferguson...crap would hit the fan. But Charleston people arent like that. They got together as a community and told the "protesters" to stay out. They came together and they prayed. You had people come together under God, you cant sensationalize that...so what happened? The media blamed everything on a flag and caused another big crap storm. This is all true. Very true. Too many people drinking the koolaid instead of looking for facts. I have a black colleague that I consider a friend who regularly posts online about the "hate crimes" and shootings. I showed him less than a handful of crimes not involving guns or a crazy guy that wasn't white and he completely changed his views. As for guns, if there's a will, there's a way. If a human being is crazy enough to desire killing people, not having a gun isn't going to stop them. They'll just drive a mac truck through a church on Sunday morning or bomb a building full of people. This country has a people problem. Not guns, not racism, PEOPLE. This trend will only get worse if parents don't start raising their damn kids right, too. Peanut butter or chocolate chip?

Sadly, I would bet the farm that no one has ever heard about this- and that's exactly what the media wants. By their standards, this would be riot worthy if the races were reversed.

I've been doing some new research in the topic and I'm still torn on the issue but I do have one question for the pro-gun people: I'm hearing from most of you that guns aren't the problem, poverty and mental illness are. So why don't countries that also have guns and have as much mental illness and/or poverty than us or worse have the save problem with these mass shootings? I think the thing people arent grasping is we're not having all this mass shootings. As my above post says on average less than 1% of gun violence is considered a mass shooting. Realistically, if this incident in Roanoke didnt happen on live TV, chances are you wouldnt have heard of it. I can almost promise if this was Jim Cooter from Bitters, Arkansas walking in to find his fat wife under Farmer Brown in their bed and he pulls out his shot gun and shoot both of them, it doesnt make it past regional news. Reasoning why is because the media/social media cant sensationalize it. The media finds things that they can push an agenda for whether its right or wrong. Perfect example is Freddy Grey Baltimore incident. After the Mike Brown ordeal, the media knew they could take that and blow it up and make a huge stick about it and stir the crap pot....The problem is the media doesnt tell you anything about how Baltimore crime rate is now at an all time high. They have multiple murders daily. I think they were up around 300 something for the year. Then again you can google search the names Channon Christian & Christopher Newsome, Im willing to bet nobody here has even heard of these two names. However their deaths were MUCH more gruesome and I dont recall it ever being put on Fox News or CNN. And to answer your first part of the question, its not poverty or mental illness, its people that are flat out evil. Its people who are raised with no morals. There's times when I have mood swings where Im convinced I would be bi polar, Ive also "slept in alleys and dined or pork and beans" so to speak....but Ive never gone out and robbed anyone, killed anyone or committed any major crimes. Its because while I might be opinionated and sometimes an bunghole. I was raised in a good family, I have morals and I have respect for other people. God, I wanna buy you an ice cold, adult beverage. This sums it up perfectly.

It still frustrates me to no end that all of Barrets basics have the taped fist but none of the elites do.

I'm hoping for Wyatt. I'm biased though. I'll settle for Cesaro or Owens though.

I regret making weed and girls a priority over grades in high school. That's about it.

I'm actually from an extremely rural town in central VA named. Bumpass. I crap you not, I'm from Bumpass, Virginia. It's pronounced Bum-piss. 30 miles from Richmond, 50 miles from Charlottesville, 40 miles from Fredericksburg. We have 7 gas stations, 0 grocery stores, and a whole lotta trees.

Blaming guns is nonsense. This is clearly a mental health issue, not gun control. If this piece of crap didn't have access to a gun to murder two people who's to say he wouldn't have gone further with his psychosis and burned the entire news station down? If there's a will, there's a way. Not having a gun is not going to stop someone already crazy enough to murder a human being. I'm definitely not debating this any further, but my heart aches for those young people's families.

I hit up the toys r us stores in Richmond on Tuesday. Nothing great. Picked up elite 36 Bray. Walmart on Midlothian turnpike still had basic 36, 40, and signature series punk figures.

I remember being at like 35 positive karma and one person systematically smited me on the hour, every hour until it was negative that amount. Who the has that kind of time on their hands!? lol I would do it all over again if I had the opportunity. I kid, but I don't miss the people asking for smites and junk.
