Go ahead and post articles where cops have shot at groups of people throwing rocks at them.
I'm old enough to know that you don't throw rocks at people carrying guns who are trying to protect a border.

The kind of person who is sick and tired of people making excuses for those who constantly refuse to obey the laws of this nation.

Seeking asylum is not illegal.

If they were really seeking asylum they would have stopped walking as soon as Mexico offered them housing and protection. Throwing rocks at border patrol officers is also a very poor way to "seek asylum".

How is it the liberals get called snowflakes?
If they start storming the border, how do you feel about zapping them with the pain ray or either type? Worse that can happen is a bad sun burn or maybe a few go deaf.

Trump's rally is being organized and funded by his presidential reelection campaign



Yes but:
Frumpy Trumpy campaigned on a big wall
Frumpy Trumpy had a great fall
A big blue wave washed his house away
And people of all colors are here to stay
All of his bluster and nationalists fray
Couldn't keep that big blue middle finger at bay
Campaign on fear if you must
But it's We The People we must trust.



Poor Frumpy. Someone get him a Trumpy bear, a cheeseburger and a porn star or two.

I think it's time for a kinder approach. Stop the hate. We are all creatures of one planet. There is a better way.

You don't think that type of nonsense happens?



My wife was sued and it actually went to a trial. She lived in a small town in an antique house in a neighborhood where the houses were tightly spaced, rain water supposedly came off her roof landed on the neighbors walk/sidewalk froze and a caretaker that was tasked to shovel snow and spread salt slipped. The lawsuit went on for years, it went to trial and what a joke, it turned out the guy was a serial suer and he was hoping for a quick payout to go away. He lost but of course my wife was worried.



The other case involved a tenant that had a relative visiting. She decided to take a short cut to the back door and picked her way down the planter boxes instead of taking the stairs and she feel. That one never got off the ground against us but she did sue the hospital that bobbled her emergency care somehow.


Anyone can sue anyone for anything, the question is if it will go anywhere.

I read somewhere that the migrant caravan was suing Trump for somehow blocking their Rights. That one was probably fake news but who knows?


I wouldn't want to test your theory ChrisC about a burglar being hurt on your property and suing.

You never know.

You pointed to a post where individuals were fired upon. Not a group.

You'd get cranky, too, if people tried correcting you based on things you never posted.

So point to recent articles where cops or border patrol shot into groups of people. That's what you keep saying they should and will do.

I never claimed that it's happened at the border in the past, all I'm saying is it should start soon. Stop trying to tell me what I think, you're clueless.
