    Trump shot in ear at rally?

    It was either a 22 cal or a suppressed .223/5.56. A suppressed 7.62x52 would have been a bit louder.

    Trump shot in ear at rally?

    I thought you might be a bit more critical. Not my field of work but thought they sat on the X with him for too long. Would have thought they would have secured him and started moving.

    Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson Are Not Back Together Despite Reconciliation Claim

    I'm guessing there are a lot of silent folks on this topic. Personally, I'm vaccinated and don't give a **** if someone else isn't and gets sick and dies. Not my problem, it's a personal choice. Now, if kids were dying at the rate of the +65 population from this virus, especially given the...

    Will people actually cancel or alter their holiday plans?

    We are always traveling for thanksgiving. Happy to actually get to watch football, eat and drink like many on thanksgiving. It's a nice change from the norm.

    Will people actually cancel or alter their holiday plans?

    Decided not to travel for thanksgiving and xmas. Kids are in school and daycare. Given they are not likely to exhibit symptoms but could pass the virus we won't take the chance passing it to our parents. I think there is a low risk of it occurring, but personally know someone who's mother...

    OT: Police Reform

    Appreciate the service you and your colleagues provide. IMO, reform means we need to be reassessing and rebuilding what "services" our LE agencies provide. I think we've given police too many duties which consequently put beat cops into bad positions. For example, do we really need LE...

    OT: shooting in VA beach

    I'd love to post a gif to depict my feelings of iceheart's overreaction but I'm too incompetent to actually post said GIF. Look. The government needs to worry about enforcing the laws already on their books before worrying about adding new ones. Let's get that right first before worrying...

    Not a comfortable discussion but a needed one...

    You are just adding to the othersides arguement. So if it was an apology, and using Johnny Manzel as an example, you wouldn't see any issue with him say, "well I grew up a rich white kid, so..."

    Not a comfortable discussion but a needed one...

    First off, I stated 'rationale/excuse' purposely as the word excuse has a level of negative connotation. In short, he was rationalizing what he said. So how would you characterize his public statement? An apology, contrition, justification, or? I don't think you see the point some folks are...

    Not a comfortable discussion but a needed one...

    As others have said, why is it okay to use race as a rationale/excuse. It has no bearing and it is over used as a crutch. Maybe a better example than McCaffrey. Is it okay for Johnny Manzel to use his race and socioeconomic means as an excuse for partying to excess or getting "rough" with his...

    I guess it's okay for Christian McCaffrey to be entitled, you know, because he's a rich white guy from the suburbs.
