Philandro Castile verdict

[Roy]

and if the gun control laws in the USA are implemented the way the liberals want, then the innocent won't have guns in the USA, but the criminals will. I think that's a problem.

Sure you can have incidents like this where someone who legally has a gun gets shot. But you will have a lot MORE incidents where criminals with guns will shoot people without guns, when if those people had guns they could have protected themselves. Disarming the innocents just makes them easier targets.

Denmark has less than 1/10 the number of incidents that the US does.

actually, it looks like you are the emotional wreck here Star.

This is one of those times I can't tell if you're just enjoying trolling, or if you are as coo coo for cocoa cocoa puffs crazy as your posts are. I'm guessing probably both.

Myth's posts seem pretty calm.

Like how out of nowhere he went completely over the top panicking about snowflakes, and breathing and calming down? Projection at its finest methinks.

Oh, the irony. I'm not sure you could get any more over the top if you tried.

So, I looked up Ramsey County (where the shooting took place) to see if there was any truth to Starlight's claim that this was a racially motivated incident. Ramsey County went 65% for Hellery. Presumably liberals cannot be racist, so there must be an alternate explanation. Combined with their hysteria over the NRA, I think I got it: Philando Castille was shot, and his executioner was subsequently freed, because liberals have no problem with you being murdered for being a lawful gun owner. This certainly explains why the jury (including two blacks) returned a not guilty verdict: it was full of Starlights.

No because of your over-the-top reaction. I don't know if you misread his post as hysterical or something, but he was pretty calm. Sure he called you a snowflake, but I just read that as hyperbole but calm. Your reaction to that seemed overly dramatic. You told him to die in a fire, then went on to basically scream at him while claiming you were the calm one and accuse him of maybe being a murderer.

It's amusing to me how the internet medium of simple text on a screen without tone or body-language allows people like you to achieve such misunderstandings when you read it by adding completely the wrong tone or emotion to the words.

Earlier in the thread....

Perhaps you shouldn't write ludicrous and demented posts defending the murder of innocent people in between talking down to me and telling me to 'breathe' and calling me a snowflake and telling me I've lost my mind? If you're going to act like a horrible jerk in response to my rational reasoned and calm posts, I'll treat you like one. You're clearly emotionally unraveling over this issue and projecting your wild over-emotionalism into the posts of Leo and I who are two of the calmest least-emotional and most over-rational posters on this forum.

Leo and I: "Having police officers be able to intentionally kill people and get away with it isn't really acceptable and should be stopped."
You: "OMG! ~heavy breathing~ You can't say that! Snowflake! Crazy! Something!!! ~heavy breathing~ You guys are waaaay to overemotional!!! ~heavy breathing rises to panicked breathing~ Fragile spirits! You've lost your minds! You can't hold police accountable! That's crazy! Breathe guys, breathe!!!"

You might consider you did the same thing with Myth. Just sayin'

Scanning through this and a few other threads this morning, sadly looks like not much has changed. Starlight, you are one of the most delusional and egotistical people I think most of us have ever encountered online. And that's a feat, cause there's no shortage of delusion and ego to go around on the interwebz. And accusing myth of defending the murder of innocent people? This coming from the child murder advocate? There is something very twisted in you.

My previous posts would do that.

That particular post just lets myth know his post was waaaaaaaaaaaay beyond the bounds of acceptability. Instead of rationally responding to the points I made in my previous posts, he just attacked me as a person instead. That's not acceptable. Out of nowhere and for no rationale, he accused me of being mentally deranged, a snowflake, emotional etc. Such completely unprovoked and uncalled for personal attacks are just vastly beyond the bounds of acceptability. He then went on to defend the killing of innocents. Just no, that's just no acceptable in any way shape or form. If he wants to engage rationally and calmly the points that Leo and I have made, he can. But it's clear he's just way too personally involved on this topic and has just lost the plot, to the point I have to wonder if he's killed someone himself and is trying to convince himself it was justifiable.

This pathetic bit you do where you psychoanalyze the person you're arguing with..., "I have to wonder if he's killed someone himself", It is such a cheap, and petty way of gaining rhetoric points. It's so slimy and so gross that I'm surprised that anyone with two braincells would attempt it in order to put someone down, or in a bid to win others to your view. If, instead, you really do wonder these things, then it says far more about your own foul psyche than it does the person you're arguing with.

You are a sad little man Starlight.

A well deserved spanking...

I never said that the US should just change its gun laws overnight. The situation is vastly different. Denmark came out of three different wars with the Germans, one 1864, where we fought as hard as we could, and got decimated. Then by Kaiser Wilhelm in WWI, where we surrendered, then by Führer Adolf Hitler in WWII, where again, we surrendered. The only guns the resistance movement had were the ones dropped by the British air force, or cache's hidden by the danish army. Though a few places managed to start a secret production of machine guns.

Because of these occupations, bent on controlling the danish populations, there were no machine guns, or even many guns period owned by ordinary danes. I don't know much about the development of gun laws, but they've been strict for a long time.

The same situation hasn't plaid out in the US. How many billions of guns and bullets are lying around in the US? I'm sure its an amount no one could hope to ever control. Even if semi-automatic weapons were banned for civilian use, how on Earth would anyone ever get them back? Anyone with a shovel could bury them, or stuff a cache of them in a mineshaft, or just hide them in the attic. Even if the entire US army was deployed, sweeping the US from East to West I don't see how all the weapons could be retrieved.

So no the situation is different, and while I think you guys are crazy for being so liberal with guns, as I think the Fins are crazy. I understand that the situations aren't comparable. Just that, if you do have a country with nearly no weapons, the police can rest a bit more easy.

How can he tell if he is stopping a "normal person" and not a criminal with a gun? Do they wear name tags?

I'd have to ask a patrol officer. Wish I could tell you. My guess is that they simple don't have the same gun anxiety that a lot of US officers have to deal with.

[Leonhard]

Take few deep breaths, snowflake.

Hey, not cool myth.

<the thing Starlight said which has thankfully been modded away>

Whoa, that's way worse than anything myth said to you.

I don't want to hear that I'm crazy from someone who speaks garbled Swedish.

You're seeing this as a good thing? If you try as hard as you can, and lose, give up the next time?
