Is the kid old enough to have a firearm? Did he get a license to legally possess such a weapon? Somehow I doubt it soooo the father is just as much to blame as the stupid kid that pulled the gun.
Hey, man, it's his second amendment right! Sounds like the kid is a staunch conservative!

Just look at it as a way of boosting sales of flat screen tv's.
Ho hum , another AAB riot, so what else is new.

The Republicans are the ones wanting people to take oaths and promise to vote a certain way, and who point fingers at other Republicans decrying they are "Republican In Name Only". You can't win elections by rejecting your party's own members.
Actually, let's call it what it really is and that has nothing to to with being inclusive and everything to do with entitlements. The moment you talk about cutting or taking them away and asking people to take one of the millions of Obama jobs your statement no longer holds water. When blacks take ownership of their problems and start working to get out of the ghettos you'll see change. Until then they are slaves to the Denocratic party, their new plantation master.

When this is how you feel and talk about a group of people, you can see why they don't like you and won't vote the way you want them to. People don't like to be described as venal and greedy. And because you think they are venal and greedy, you EXCLUDE them from your political party. I'm sure you're very superior to all the Democrats in the world.

Some of these places are already having issues with massive killings and a general breakdown of law and order.

Liberal stronghold in this case means the social justice crowd endorses gang culture rules which are in conflict with the law. you know, if someone disses you it is permissible to kill them. This is the kind of lawlessness that comes from a 'hands up don't shoot mentality' that the liberal forces validate, though the basis is a lie.

The only place where hands up makes sense is the protest by the congesssional black caucus when they held up their hands they showed they were guilty of perpetuating lies and encouraging violence. Obama has a pattern of lying, HRC lies come naturally, Harry Reid lied on the senate floor to win an election, NBC lied when they edited the zimmerman 911 tape. Liberals, covered by the media propaganda machine, use lies as the ends justify the means. furgeson is fueled by lies and endorsed by alsharpton a regular whitehouse visitor.

Oh, so we're re-defining "liberal stronghold"? To make what point, exactly? That WE are racist, maybe?
