Does anyone find it odd that a black person can be deemed a threat and arrested or killed by police for not doing anything and yet it is not considered threatening for a bunch of inbred, white hicks to go into restaurants and stores with assault rifles?

Did that happen at the Philladelphia voting locations the last two elections... I thought it was the Black Panthers doing that.


Its also take a look at the daily stats for murders and shootings in Chicago on any given period and compare it to other cities.

Now let's try to ask the question in non racial terms because the way you asked the question implies racism. Firstly; if you are referring to Ferguson, evidence suggests the person of dark countenance was a thief and threatened and assaulted a police officer, thus he got to be dead. Secondly; how do you know these person were inbred, or hicks, they could just as easily been some up town dudes out on the town because there appears to be no law about them owning and carrying these weapons even if it alarms the population, which one thinks might have been the point

What it comes down to Earl is until the gun culture is addressed, people are going to die from gun shot wounds and people are going to act stupidly with weapons. We dealt with our gun culture here and fewer people die from gun violence and yet we are free to roam the streets,
