"Amazing" America

[stattointhailand]

Ah... so the nation isn't imperiled after all? That's quite a relief.

Unlike Australia, New Zealand, the UK and the EU, the United States is still a free country.

Yes, it is a relief.

Unless of course you happen to be in Chicago or Portland or anywhere else that scares an ordinary person "shitless" and where emergency services wont go without a police escort
Twould appear that your idea of being "free" and ours differ slightly

Twould appear that your idea of not having "enough hours in a day or breaths left" in your lifetime to even comment are different than most people no matter where they originate.

Declan may have a point, statts.

In the countries and Union he mentions - certainly not Australia anyway - you are NOT free to storm the seat of government with a variety of weapons, in an attempted insurrection to try and overturn a fair and free election that your cult leader comprehensively lost in a "landslide".

Agree JS but we are talking about Americans !!!

The over running of the White House is no different than the gangs of looters. If the first one would catch even a rubber bullet in the stomach the others wouldn't know what hit him because he would be in pain rolling on the ground. They would quickly decide that trespassing and looting is not a good idea. The first thing that needs to be done is to get rid of the bleeding hearts and liberal politicians. The US has become a country of way too many wimps.

[Declan MacPherson]

Who really cares, if Americans run around with guns killing each other

Another deputy who cares enough to post.

Things like this are a shame;

St. Louis couple who aimed guns at protesters charged with felony weapons count.

I never thought the day would come when people would be too afraid to protect themselves, their homes and their property from the scum of the earth hoodlums.

Yes. Agree.

The only thing that I am thankful about in that regard is that it happens almost entirely in Democrat-led cities and states. But the people there voted for Democrats. Unfortunately for them, they had no idea that it meant that they were voting for people who would allow their property and whatever wealth they had accumulated to be destroyed.

They are realizing that a vote for Democrats today is a vote for tyranny and communism. That is having a direct effect on the collapse of Brandon Joebama's poll numbers. The majority of Democrat voters did not vote for what they have been getting. Their party has abandoned them and the Democrats hope their voters are stupid enough to keep voting Democrat.

Another Democrat-led city with a corrupt Democrat DA who pushed it.

Then I guess the couple should have moved to a Republican city

You mean somewhere safe like where Declan's $2.5 million of assets are?

Tell us more about the gang of looters who over-ran the White House. Was that early 2017 - early 2021?

I thought we were discussing the brain dead cultists who were trying to overturn the confirmed result of the 2020 election by invading the Capitol Building.

I'm sure UM's own version of the criminal sheriff Joe Arpaio is glad to have his own deputy along for the ride.

Wimps? LOL. Love these macho men who look at a 17 year old as their hero and who think the best way to show how much of a man you are is how big your AR-15 is. I guess if you don’t carry around a firearm you aren’t a real man to them. So sad.

[jai yen yen]

I have a question. If someone broke into your house in the middle of the night intent on robbing and attacking you and your wife and children would you want to have a gun to stop them or would you rather watch your family be attacked and possibly die? This situation does happen. Think about it. Faced with a possible life or death situation which you are a victim of some criminal or criminals would you be happy to have a weapon and the knowledge in how to use it or stand by helplessly.

[Kenr6583]

I’m talking about the yahoos who are walking the streets brandishing their AR-15’s and open carrying. I guess they think they are bad asses because they have these weapons, makes them think they have some kind of power, but it makes them look like idiots. In my opinion it makes them weak.

Interesting article, and it is obvious that the kid was acting in self-defence for himself and the community. Initially, I thought the kid was guilty until the video appeared.

If he'd stayed at home with his mom and not stopped off at his friend's house and grabbed a gun before driving 20 miles to Kenosha, there wouldn't have been any need for any sort of 'self defence'.

But, he did and there was nothing illegal that he did under Wisconsin law. It is no use playing make believe.

generally i'd say ,if there was rioting going off 20 miles away best to stay away. that would be the intelligent thing to do

[Doodoo]

"that would be the intelligent thing to do" Yes Papa that certainly would BUT we are talking of individuals in teh US that are brought up in a Gun Culture and this was evident in this case

This wasnt the first and wont be the last

If the woke Democrats were doing their job there would be no need for people to guard and protect their communities. Things are way out of control and getting worse. Mass looting and people being attacked. Even where I live in a small quiet town we have street people stabbing and slashing citizens and walking out of stores with stolen goods. An 85 year old man was slashed in the face and lost an eye because he did not have a cigarette for a street rat. Just after that a 21 year old woman working a small store was stabbed 3 times by another street rat that was robbing the place. If I could legally I would carry a gun myself. I see these street rats all the time and they are just getting more bold and dangerous, they actually feel entitled because our socialist republic of Canada gives them food, drugs, phones hotel rooms , cash, free medical treatment with nurses visiting them in their free hotels and they won't even spend one night in jail after committing a crime.

Democrats Republicans is not the problem It is Americans and Guns Guns Guns 300,000,000 some odd people and 500,000,000 guns Go figure
