RE: Blood Talk

Scuse me but Rush is an ultrazionist. When he hears about a black man dying to further the cause of Zionism he gets all teary eyed and emotional!

Azzonie Still Doesn't "Get It" - Azzonie, if we take you at your word, and accept your statement that you absolutely can NOT distinguish the difference between my earlier comments, and "hate speech" that threatens and portends violence (Like von Brunn's "You want my weapons -- this is how you'll get them") - Azzonie, if we accept your confession that you canNOT tell the difference, then in effect, you serve as a graphic example of what I am talking about, namely, someone at the lowest end of the "Cerebral Cognition" scale, who loves guns more than he loves peace, sanity or safety. When you have that kind of profound inability to make critical distinctions, you necessarily become part of the "problem" NOT part of the solution. And everything that comes out of your mouth is guaranteed to be upside-down - reality standing on its head. YIKES!!!!

ANYONE hired to protect the property and citizens of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA on public property should by law be issued and required to wear protective equipment while performing their duties. The flag and all that represents it is a target for ignorant people 24/7/365. The equipment not only protects the wearer but can also be a factor in citizens such as my family or myself surviving an attack. Bullet proof vests are not illegal to purchase of own by a private citizen however any employee of the government or their contractors should be provided by the government or the employer. Then this story and the next ones would possibly have not been as tragic.

We could all be like the Democrats and ask the UN for a resolution against killing. We could sit around and wring our hands wondering how this could happen. We could blame this and anything bad that happens on Bush and the Republicans. I know, let us take the Democratic stance against anyone owning guns. That way only the criminals and police officers will have them. I know the criminals will applaud this Democratic initiative.

Sometimes its just up to a madman. Sh*t happens, who knows why or how. This attempt to attach blame should fail. The idea that guards should have bullet-proof vests deserves a hearing. It doesn't deserve one now. Thats the journalistic equivalent of ambulance chasing.

For the money the security company must charge i would think they could afford vests for the guards. you could get a small arms to moderate caliber for 22lr-357/44 mag for aprox 400-500.00 more for a rifle round protection and for knives a ceramic plate. would think the company could deduct the cost and buy in bulk. its sad regardless.....

[wtcmedic911]

If I'm not mistaken, I think it is illegal for private citizens to purchase bullet proof vests.

unless its a local or city law its not a federal crime to own a vest. there are many supply places that you can purchase all the equipment. in dc i know they have plenty police/fire/rescue supply companies.

"Nothing stops them from buying their own. I have to buy equipment for my job and so does a lot of Americans".

So a guy who works in a nuclear plant has to buy his own protective clothes?

So a guy that goes to war to fight for your freedon should buy his own humvee?

So a cop that rides a motocycle shoud buy his own helmet?

So a firemen should by her own turn-out equipment?

There's a differenc between having to buy your own hammer and specilized protective gear in an inheritly dangerous job......but you don't get it because you listen to Rush Limbaugh all day.

Blood Talk

What is it?

Its what all the ultra conservatives listen to and it drives some of them to kill people

For example, Oklahoma City......this included killing children

Who does it?

Guys like the head of the GOP.....Rush Limbaugh


And other people that the right wing conservatives listens to like Glenn Beck and Michael Savage

What should we do about it?

Tell your righ wing friends to change the radio station

truth_police, you sound like one of the wacos that commits this sort of crime. Paranoid conspiracy theorists like you have a lot in common with the shooter. Especially your mistrust of ?the system?. I expect you will be a news story yourself someday.
