    A little.  But in no way did I mean to crap on your thread!  

I greatly prefer the original or 21 to the 25.  I do not like the finger cutouts on the 25 at all.  I've always been more an Umnum fan. 

Never been a sebenza fan really.  But they are good knives.  

    It wasn't exactly designed for defense situations.  It was designed to allow people with disabilities to shoot better at the range.  

Got mine back on Monday.  Finally.  Whoohoo! 

Firsthand or not, LEAs are still more trustworthy than a bunch of cult members. You are welcome to your beliefs but I'm not that easily swayed. BATFE RULES!

You gonna believe the word of a bunch of brainwashed criminal cult members over a trusted government agency? You are placing your trust in the wrong place my friend.

Plenty of ways to explain that. Fear, PTSD, refusal to deal with it, brainwashing. I seen it on tv. It's real, no question, and the world is better. BATFE 4 LIFE!!!!

Seriously, they got rid of a criminal forever. One less to worry about. Keep it up. Get rid of them all. We will all be safer in the long run. TEAM BATFE!

Koresh was a sex offender of the worst kind and anyone that chose to follow him got what was coming to them. Hate it for the kids but if their parents had cared, they would have gotten out. GO ATF!!!

    I'm not mixed either.  Just white.  Straight honky.  Although my doctor's nurse thinks I'm mixed too.    

Straight up honky. Why does that matter though as to my stance? My stance is that they are PEOPLE and didn't do this because they are black, they did it because they are criminals. And black and criminal are not mutually exclusive.

    Not entirely.  I don't assume anyone to be racist.  The truth is that I don't know y'all and can't make that distinction.  However, you are talking to someone that grew up in black neighborhoods in a primarily black city.  My entire life, I've watched as people hate each other, from both sides.  I've always been a "can't we all just get along" type because I grew up in a situation where we did.  My best friend through my childhood was a black man named Erving.  Erving and I were and are brothers.  In the deepest, non blood sense of the word.  Erving and I had similar upbringings with parents that cared although his father was NOT around.  Both of us never got in trouble and as adults became responsible enough to support our respective families.  However, there were plenty of white and black kids around us that did not.       I say all that to say that I feel as my upbringing was very different than the majority in this state.  This entire site seems to be biased against Memphis and crime is used as an excuse but I always suspect it has more to do with racial makeup.  The crime doesn't seem to be any different to me than any other place I've been in the state.  I see the same type areas in other cities. I've lived here all my life and never been shot, stabbed, robbed, mugged or had my house broken into.  I know plenty who can say the same.  I want out of the city.  But thats more about the  government than crime.  Actually it has nothing to do with crime.  So I'm a bit fed up with the Memphis hate and I knew when this happened, it was either going to be threads full of black kid whatever or threads full of typical Memphis.  I'm honestly surprised it wasn't the latter.  So forgive me if I got a bit carried away. 

This look about like its supposed to?

  Honestly, I'm not sure anymore either.  This entire thing has me heated and not because it was black kids.  And the fact that the majority of people I've seen post or talk about it, here or elsewhere, have been quick to point out that it was black kids.  Has nothing to do with it.  I should have kept my mouth shut because I'm having a hard time articulating my thoughts right now.          All very valid and important points.  I don't think the situation will ever change as long as its addressed as a black problem.  Its a people problem regardless of skin color.  And its a society, our society, problem regardless of skin color.  And until we all look at it as such, no progress will be made.  Emphasis on ALL! 

  Its not coincidental that they are all black.  Its just simply normal.  You are talking about a city that is PRIMARILY composed of black people.  Black people here are the majority.  So is it coincidental?  No.                 Just like everything, One group is enough huh?  I live near a high school in a predominantly black city.  Mostly black at the school.  Large groups of young black people walk by my house daily.  I'm often leaving for work in the middle of them heading to school.  While they do stupid stuff (that I've also seen plenty of white kids doing), they aren't attacking people or beating anyone.  And I would say that is more normal than what happened at Kroger.  

      Yeah.  I thought I covered that in my original post. 

  No, I wasn't there.  But I used the words, "one story" to signify that there is a lot of information out there and some doesn't point in the same direction.               Yes I'm upset.  Why does race friggin matter at all.  I understand that Jesse and others bring it into the conversation for some crimes.  But that doesn't make it right for you to do it back.  The holier than thou from the opposite of the Jesses of the world only continues a trend.  How about we just focus on a bunch of misguided kids that did horrible things to other people?  Can't we deal with that first and foremost?  

Just reply, and why wouldn't it?  It has been for years.  

The white guy she refers to is the kroger employee that was helping the first victim. 

Along the same lines, but not email related...   I've replied to a few threads last night and today and they aren't showing up in my "content I follow."   I checked my settings and nothing has changed. 

    No.  Every one of the posters in this thread has put color to this.  I bet there are more gay people on this site than black people.  Yall immediately jumped on the black kids and white victim but didn't know any of the facts.   One story says that the employees that were beaten were attacked AFTER helping the first victim.  Nothing to do with race.  They were beaten for helping.  Yet people say that the victims were chosen based on skin color or being different.  WRONG!  

Sister has a core 22 upper. Wouldn't feed at all. Sent an email explaining the problem and that I found a bent spring hanging out of the carrier. Even sent a picture. Had a new bcg in a weeks time. Runs great. I'd continue to give them business.

Can you share with us all so that we can know too?

Tracking says they received mine on June 18th.  However, their system says they received it on the 25th.
