Don't get me wrong, because I certainly would not condone robbery, or any such crime... but don't you think this post was just a bit gruesome? I just cannot see being happy about such a thing....

It is an embarrasment to the country that adults with grown children speak this way. What's even worse is that these people have spawn just like them.
Your outrage seems to only surface when conservatives misbehave.

I don't really want to be the one to explain this, but the reason someone mentioned gay people is because the original term "tea bagging" is a crude, slang sexual term. Use your imagination. [URL="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=teabagging"]Here's an explanation.[/URL]

I didn't know this either before a few years ago, but I wouldn't walk around with tea bags hanging from my hat either.

The robber put himself in that position. So you think only criminals are allowed to have guns?! What if the clerk had been the one to shoot the criminal?

It's like feeling sorry for someone who breaks into your house with a gun and ends up dying after you shoot him/her to defend yourself and your family.

They totally disagree with the way George Zimmerman handled himself that tragic evening when he stalked and killed an unarmed teenager who wasn't doing anything wrong.
That is the way unfortunately most white Republicans think. They think black=criminal and that it is OK to kill blacks who have not done a crime because "they might do a crime" if we don't kill them. I have no, zero, zilch problem with anybody who zaps a robber or a burglar. I wish more of them got killed. Crime should be as dangerous for the criminal as it is for the victim. And, BTW, I do not know the race of the robber, the customer or the bank teller. It does not matter to me. But most white Republicans think just like that post said. And that is why they are dangerous. As dangerous as the criminals because when they kill the wrong kid, as Zimmerman did, and the rage turns into riots, it will not be them that pays for it just like it was not the LA cops that paid for Rodney King. It will be innocent people like Reginald Denny and other innocent non blacks and blacks that have to suffer for it.

Im curious, how did this thread devolve so quickly into the same old tired racial soapbox it usually does ? All the us vs them crap kills any reasonable debate. It always reverts to things like how a certain race thinks, past injustices or passing judgment on things that have happened IN THE PAST.

I don't have an Ouija board stuck to my a--s. or a crystal ball in my hand and neither do most of you. A blanket statement like "most white republicans think" , "Because they might do a crime' so its ok to killblacks, is backwards racism. If you don't know the race of the robber, customer or bank teller, how did this get to Zimmerman, Rodney King or Riots ???

I guess what i'm trying to get across here is Why can't we just stick to the subject instead of always getting back to the same old rock throwing contest ?? It's late, Im tired------------

This is why an armed populace is a good thing. The scene in Luby's in Kileen Texas 10-16-91 would have been a lot different had one of the customers been armed.
