I liked the graphs, they were actually pretty convincing. But then you go and say this and I go into eye-roll overdrive. This is so insulting to people who actually live in a police state, like 90% of the rest of the world and 99% of history. You have no idea what a police state is. Also the fact that you agree with Charlie on this point should tell you something.But it's a double edged sword - consider all the media scandals and stories we've had in the last few years of new york cops engaged in civil rights violations, "stop and frisk," or just the outright shooting of innocent civilians by NYPD. Yes, crime does go down very fast under a police state.
It was poorly worded. I didn't mean to imply that New York currently is a police state, but that there's a tradeoff between security and liberty when it comes to crackdowns. What I had started to type was crime experienced a huge drop in germany when the nazis came to power, but that'd have been invoking godwin.Man we weren't even finished talking about the last shooting.

Doesn't change the value of the graphs, but it does hurt your positions as a salesman, which is what politics really is about.
It's slightly been a higher-profile issue since Newtown, even though it's a lost cause at this point. Someone could mow down 30 newborns in a maternity ward tomorrow, and gun sales will triple over the weekend and the NRA will set a fundraising record.Is it just me or are these incidents occurring more and more often?
The moment I saw you had posted, I thought "please be telling us they got him". Fuck yeah.They got him alive. Which many of my fellow members were lamenting. I'm glad. I want him to face trial.
By turned himself in, he gave up when cornered in a backyard.I think I heard on NPR this morning he turned himself in, saying "I'm done".
Aaaaaaand three more people shot at a college in Seattle: http://www.cnn.com/2014/06/06/justice/seattle-campus-shooting/index.html?hpt=hp_t1
No we won't.And now we will get to see the canadian public again ask themselves again if they shouldn't have a death penalty for particularly egregious crimes.
This.No we won't.
Yet Frank's buddies all wanted to mete out said justice. So...human nature.This.
Though husband was convinced that this guy was not going to come in alive. He predicted 'police justice'.
I told him we aren't Americans.
That was a joke.
Oh I know.Yet Frank's buddies all wanted to mete out said justice. So...human nature.
And yes, I know you were joking. I'm sorry.
Yes but it doesn't allow them to do stories about themselves. If the news media has a fetish it's stories about the news media.And meanwhile, the US MSM is pretty much silent over the Moncton shooter being caught.
AND HE SHOT COPS.
To be fair, most of them are saying that as guys (and gals) who are thousands of miles from where this happened. It's easy to say things like that in the heat of the moment when you aren't a part of what's going on.Yet Frank's buddies all wanted to mete out said justice. So...human nature.
And yes, I know you were joking. I'm sorry.
