Yeah, that triple shooting/homicide they had a few days ago was boring stuff too... And, if that "teen" had just assaulted your mother trying to steal her pain/cancer meds maybe it wouldn't be so funny to you, idiot.   Talk out of your ass elsewhere if you're not interested.  I'm just trying to help out the TGO folks who might be.

We had a mugging inside the parking garage stairwell at my company a few weeks ago in the middle of the day.  Details have been slow to leak out but apparently the perp intimated that he had a weapon, but never showed one.  Several of us generally do, so it's lucky for the perp that he chose someone a little more compliant.   A stairwell can work two ways for a robbery.  On one hand, if the victim complies it's a pretty secluded place to get away with some shit.  On the other hand, if your victim turns the tables on you, there's no place for you to run and an epic ass-beating can ensue.  I'll drag your ass back inside the stairwell and keep beating the ever loving shit out of you if you try to run after threatening to mug me and fail to produce a weapon.  :lol:

Don't even have to go that far, it comes with a belly band. Might as well just go ahead and preemptively shoot yourself in the junk and get it over with.

Always wanted to make a machete or knife so a few weeks ago I bought an old hand saw at a yard sale for $3, used a pack of Dremal cutting discs to cut it out, had a piece of cherry for the handle and sanded and blued it. Kept the saw teeth on top, cut a clip on top, made the sheth last night. It's a little flexable even for a machete but I made it just for the fun of it, probably will never use it for anything. I might try a smaller knife from a circular saw blade someday. [URL=http://smg.photobucket.com/user/JMH42/media/Machete1_zps872cb030.jpg.html][/URL]

To celebrate my 1000th post I figured it was a good time to final show a picture of me. 2LT DMark, Ft. Benning, GA, Late 1970s. Yea…., I was a Happy Troop!

  Gues what happens when you try that...you get tansported to the hospital where they determine that ther is nothing wrong with you. Now everyone knows you are a liar...guess what the investigaring officers and the DA are going to think?  Gues what will come out at trial?   It's important that a person be cautions of what he says and how he says it but there is one universal truth in this situation; when you do speak TELL THE TRUTH; criminals lie.

It looks like a turd.

We cannot predict when a evil person who intends to do us harm will appear...if you value your life/the lives of your loved ones then you always have to be prepared.  This kind of story is just one more illustration of why the statement I just made is undeniability true.

You know it's funny I have an ex that turned lesbo years later. She's always talking about how her and her partner have been trying to get pregnant for so long. I keep trying to tell her, she's doing it all wrong. Lmao

Getting traffic to move over was right. NOT presenting your gun was the right thing to do too. Your grandkids were there and no reason to esculate the morons pi**y mood. You did right. You walked away the winner, as he already prooved he was a losser!   Dave

Not mine, but I finally talked my dad in to buying a new AR15. Ruger SR 556 He is mainly a bolt action and revolver guy, so this one has taken me some time. I can't tell you how many times we've gone to the gun store and he's walked away from an AR like this.

The problem most folks here have with the call for "open mindedness" on this issue is that to believe that the present gubmt is somehow following the law requires you to deny what your eyes, ears, and intellect is telling you.    It also requires you to have a child-like belief in the alturism of government and the uprightness of its bureaucratic corps and elected officials; not to mention the fact that you have to discount and ignore the mountain of data and reports of mis-deeds as somehow the musings of mad men.  I simply do not believe that anyone with a smattering of genuine concern for the Constitution and the Bill of Rights can believe that what is going on with the PRISM program is constitutional or lawful.    leroy

Kinda like what happened today?: "Dr. Valerie Rao, who was called by the prosecution to provide her assessment of Zimmerman's injuries based on photos, cast doubt on Zimmerman's claim his head was repeatedly bashed against the pavement as he fought with Martin in the Feb. 26, 2012 incident. "The injuries are so minor that the word slam implies great force," Rao said in response to questioning by prosecutor John Guy. "There was not great force used here." Rao said Zimmerman's injuries were not only "not life threatening" but were also "very insignificant." She said the injuries to the back of Zimmerman's head were consistent with hitting the ground but the injuries on his face were from consistent with one punch or strike." Read more: http://www.foxnews.com/us/2013/07/02/detective-returns-to-stand-in-zimmerman-trial/?test=latestnews#ixzz2Xvimhlds I read this and can't help but think...very easy to say for the person that didn't get their head beat on concrete. I'm sorry, but getting my head banged ONCE on the concrete without me being able to escape from someone on top of me and I'll be in reasonable fear of my life. Getting punched is one thing, getting your head bounced off concrete is another

Maybe the bidder has plenty of money and he intends to destroy it to keep mankind safe. Kinda like taking one for the team.

One thing has been quite evident; if you're ever involved in a similar situation, keep your mouth shut. I understand Zimmerman feeling the need to clear his name, but the prosecution can and will every single word against you. If it weren't for so much talking, I think the prosecution would have had about 30 minutes of evidence. Don't talk to your wife, best friend, parents, no one.

  Did Zimmerman attempt to follow Martin to see where he had gone?  Apparently.  Did he engage in a “foot pursuit”? No.   Calling Zimmerman's actions a "foot pursuit" seems a pejoritive in this context; designed to paint Zimmerman’s acts as something they weren’t.   If you want to believe Zimmerman is guilty then of course, he was in a “foot pursuit”; I say that because using phrases like “foot pursuit” seems intentionally designed to conjure up a picture of the want-a-be cop chasing down a fleeing suspect just like we’ve all seen happen a thousand times on “Cops”.  Not only does this conjure up a picture of a cop-want-a-be (which the evidence shows the Zimmerman was NOT) but it also ignores Zimmerman’s story that he got out of his vehicle to find the street signs so he could give the 911 operator a good location (and while, again, those want to believe Zimmerman is guilty won’t believe Zimmerman’s story, so far, all the evidence of the PROSECUTION’S own witnesses has not only not contradicted Zimmerman’s story but has actually supported Zimmerman's story).   You make a large and unsupported leap of logic to assume that had Zimmerman never gotten out of his truck there would never have been a physical altercation and no need for Zimmerman to shoot Martin - the assertion is simply without substance.   1.  Were I trying to give police an exact location of some of the streets in my neighborhood on a rainy night I’d probably have to get out of my truck to.   2. Further, there is simply NOTHING WRONG with a man getting out of his truck whether it’s to locate a street sign or to see where a suspicious person has gone. NOTHING WRONG and NOTHING ILLEGAL.   3. Finally; there is nothing about Zimmerman staying in his truck that would have created some magical protection from Martin. Based on what we know of Martin it seems reasonable to conclude that Martin was either a thug or on his way to being one…as such, it’s not unreasonable to conclude that Martin was going to have a “confrontation” and whether it took place on the sidewalk or not doesn’t change that dynamic. In other words, there is zero reason to believe that Martin wouldn’t have attacked Zimmerman even if Zimmerman was in/had never gotten out of his truck and if he had so attacked Zimmerman, the law in most states recognizes that the victim is at a distinct disadvantage when seated in a vehicle and attacked – in those cases, a victim has even less options to resist than if the victim is out walking (sitting in a vehicle and especially if you are belted in is akin to being locked in a cage when someone is trying to pound you).   People are free to believe anything they want but at this point, believing that Zimmerman caused this problem is a belief not based on any of the evidence I've seen.

  It's a "Citizen's" Grand Jury. They have no authority. A buddy of mine called it to my attention when I posted it on Facebook

Best comment on another forum;  "Simple legal question. Should BDLR (the prosecuting attorney) send GZ a bill for GZ’s defense before or after the “not guilty” verdict is read?     Yeah, Zimmerman (neighborhood watch captain, remember?) shouldn't have gotten out of his truck.  He should have just driven through the yards where Martin was trespassing so that he could tell the dispatcher which way Martin ran.      Even with the transcript of the call between Z and police dispatch, even after Martins' girlfriend reported that Martin got to his dad's yard and then went back to ambush Zimmerman (who was by then on his way back to his vehicle), even with all the physical evidence, some people are really wedded to their original theory that Zimmerman was 'pursuing' Martin and is thus guilty of causing the incident.  Is there some sort of mental block preventing them from processing new information?     Or is this just another instance of the 'don't get involved' mentality at work?

How can one even doubt his words? His is the very face of honesty.

I seem to recall advice from a Knighted gentleman regarding the correlation between one's enthusiasm for large asses and their trustworthiness. Not calling you a liar, but just think about it for a moment.

Personally I think that whomever (any/all) who had a hand in this case being sent to trial, needs to be on the unemployment line ASAP, they clearly do not belong in the profession they are in.

  Headline news is looking at it thru Dave colored glasses :)

Many people won't agree, but I have and always will support this. We have no right to tell someone they have to lay there and suffer in levels of pain that most of us will never know exist

I'll be heading out to Rangemaster in Memphis at Zero dark thirty tomorrow (Saturday) morning for my first training class this year; a two day, 20 hour class with Massad Ayoob on the rules of engagement for armed law-abiding private citizens.  While certainly not as "glitzy" as rifle, shotgun or pistol training on a range such as I've taken at Tactical Response, this is a class I've been looking forward to for quite a while!  :)   For those of you who aren't familiar with Massad he is someone you really need to become familiar with and especially some of his excellent books such as the classic "In the Gravest Extreme; The Role of the Firearm in Personal Protection (ISBN-10: 0936279001)   I don't claim any special talent at doing such things but I'll try to offer my impressions of the class and highlights of what was covered!   http://massadayoobgroup.com/    

I don't know which is more cool, the flashlight or the watch . . . or the face paint.   :usa: :usa: :usa: :usa: :usa: :usa: :usa: :usa: :usa: :usa: :usa: :usa: :usa: :usa:

I have a support ticket open with IPB to determine how we can mass delete all of the expired renewals.  That seems to be the only resolution.

Smyrna is a good town with a sensible government. A lot of towns would be thrilled to have a slightly bored police force. That's what happens when you stay on top of the threat. Many cities have the police chasing their tails 'cause there's so much trouble.

I think someone WHO JUST JOINED TODAY might do well to know somethng about a member here before they start speaking  :poop:  about him and insulting him.

  She got reelected, and added another 10 pounds to that big ass. I guess you can tell I don't like her very much.

Wow that guy should write catalog descriptions for a living!

I am still getting: This invoice contains items you have already purchased which cannot be purchased again. Please contact an administrator for assistance.

  They're everywhere, I tell ya. :)

There are some VERY good people out that way.  There's also some of the dumbest white trash east of the Mississippi river. What dickson really needs is a gun store.  I cannot believe they don't have much of anything with all them rednecks!  You got the Dickson Sportsmans store.  It's fair ....at best.  They're high priced.  All the old pawn shops are gone. 

  The situation came to Zimmerman?  So someone made him stop his vehicle, get out and become involved in a foot pursuit of a person who was apparently not engaged in any illegal activity even after the police dispatcher advised him not to do so?  Wow, the force must have been really strong in that Trayvon character for him to make Zimmerman do all that just so he might get a chance to beat Zimmerman's head against the ground.

Smells like a troll hole to me, Dolomite.  Even trolls have cops, I guess.

  Dolomite, that whole "do as I say, not as I do" thing is typical of every liberal I have ever talked to. At least the really far left ones. They alone know what is best for you and their one size fits all solutions are the key to everything from ending world hunger to curing all disease. Don't let 'em get under your skin. 

No difference, and doesn't change my mind. Inattention is inattention. If you lock and fence your pool and pay attention, people don't drown. If you secure your guns and pay attention, children don't get shot.  

I go with Brownsnake, or technically "Dekay's Brownsnake", appearance varies, but tail is quite distinctive: http://www.tn.gov/twra/pdfs/snakesposter.pdf https://www.google.com/search?q=DEKAY%E2%80%99S+BROWNSNAKE&newwindow=1&client=firefox-a&hs=U8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=S_DQUczqPI2c9QSdkIDwBg&ved=0CD0QsAQ&biw=1444&bih=674#facrc=_&imgdii=_&imgrc=Pz2V_tLSp0jeWM%3A%3BJn2jysPzhYTCwM%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.orange.k12.oh.us%252Fteachers%252Fmhs%252Fbsosic%252F2004-2005%252Fohiosnakes%252Fgraphics%252Fsnakephotos%252Fdekay2.jpg%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.orange.k12.oh.us%252Fteachers%252Fmhs%252Fbsosic%252F2004-2005%252Fohiosnakes%252Fpages%252Fdekayssnake.html%3B272%3B182 - OS

well, from what I understand there was something about a Supreme Court case that officers don't have to put themselves in danger to protect anyone.  Seems it really isn't there job.    So I will stay prepared to protect myself.

He has a disease. One day he will meet someone that has the cure.

I think they should also immediately repeal most government benefits that come with being married.

Oh say can you see Jose can you see, by the dawns early light...

Have we noticed that nearly every time one of these professional athletes or celebs gets in trouble the story usually starts with something along the lines of "following an altercation at a night club..."?

Truth, not to :hijack: BUT if you buy the Mexican cokes which come in a taller glass bottle it has cane sugar and tastes how coke is supposed to! Also look at Jarritos, those are a brand a friend stocks up on and they are quite good. Here is a image of what the two look like.

  There is one real similarity. Z's lawyer is much better than the state's lawyers. If Z doesn't screw that up somehow, he has a real advantage there. 

And Zimmerman had quite the history as well, so I'm not going to buy that Martin was a thug who conspired to get whitey that night simply because he smoked pot and cursed a lot in text messages. Thank God there was no such thing as social media other than the bathroom wall when I was in high school or I'd be thrown under the jail by some of the folks here. If we want to focus on Martin's past and attribute that to his guilt in committing an unprovoked assault, why would the following not be relevant: 1. Allegations of sexual abuse by a younger female in Zmmerman's own family. 2. Assertion from at least one family member that Zimmerman is extremely confrontational and violent. 3. The restraining order and accusations of domestic violence made by a former girlfriend. 4. Being arrested for assaulting a police officer (after confronting said officer for investigating one of his buddies for underage drinking). 5. Lying boldfaced to a judge in a courtroom, as we all watched on national television. I realize that folks will individually explain away each and every one of those points. I also realize that sometimes folks make mistakes and sometimes folks get accused of things they didn't do. However, looking at the TOTALITY of these incidents tells me that there is either some truth that Zimmerman is an untrustworthy scumbag OR the world is just out to get him. There are some damn smart folks here. For you smart folks, think about the people you know who always find themselves in these types of situations and how it is ALWAYS somebody else's fault. I realize none of these things make him guilty if murdering Martin, but they do provide an insight to his character, so anyone taking his story at face value is a fool.

    All ya need is bourbon anyway.

  Changing possession in vehicle on school property from a felony to legal behavior seems most significant part to me.   I wouldn't be surprised if some case law might come from TN college campus at some point too -- dunno about the employment part, but I'm not so sure at all it's going to be okay to expel a student for complying with state law, and especially one that takes funds from the state in the first place.   - OS
