84-year-old accused of pointing gun at anti-Obama protestors

[The Nature Boy 4,224]

Not disappointed (but thanks for your concern). Just a little surprised. I recognized several racial stereotypes available for discussion....but no1 had jumped on any of the various options.

& Then (with a lure) came The Conciliator & TC chose = door #2. Carjacker.

(I too) Observed the carjacker part of the story - & I also noticed = "drive by"

I went to DOJ - OJP website looking for carjacking stats but they are -

(but) Several "real world" sites are available for research. Carjacking is not limited to USA - it's Global & impoverished demographics have the highest rate of offense. South Africans even tried out an under the car flame thrower to combat the problem. Damn.....I want one of those & a Photon Cannon to help me thru DFW traffic.

Oh my a racial stereotyping and Obama shutting down websites on purpose thread.Ifwe can work GZ/TM into the mix it may be the mother of all threads.

We should start having liberals at work soon to get it going.

It's certainly packaging nicely. Eye catching.

I Goggled Obama protester and this popped up

Quick is he pro or against

Geezh you people

If I am a gay rights protester which side do you think I support

What shocks me is you all think you are all clever

Let's try it another way

What would an anti-gay rights protester be protesting

Gay Rights not against Gay rights protesters.

Maybe your problem is that you use Goggle?

An Obama protestor is someone who disapproves of Obama. The definition of the word "anti" is "against or opposed to". So if you are an anti Obama protestor, then by definition you are against or opposed to Obama protestors. So you are against people who disapprove of Obama. It's a double negative that equals a positive.. Perhaps you could Goggle that.

You can kill an unarmed kid, but you can't point a gun at anti-Obama protestors even though he didn't shoot or kill anyone of them.

You can kill an unarmed mother, but don't be black pointing a gun at anti-Obama protestors even though you don't shoot anyone or kill anyone.

Lesson learned, I will not let anyone know I have a gun.

Lib need to make up their mind… most of the time they are harping about lax gun regulation and on and on…. now this time since it was another lib threatening with gun all other libs are ok with it no one has issues about lax gun control.

I'm not ok with it. This is yet another case of someone having access to firearms that shouldn't. Skin color or political affiliation is irrelevant.

Ok I will let all these people that for over 50 years be known as civil rights protesters, know they really marched on Washington to protest against civil rights.

Geezh-Tell us again about your vastly superior intellect and how dumb us right wingers are..I think we need to hear that again.

LOL

I hope you have more than a .32 ?

As for pointing guns at someone.

Just because you did not like the TM/GZ verdict does not mean it's ok to point weapons at people that do not share your opinion

He will have his day in court just like GZ did. If I were the judge I would cut him lot's of slack. In fact if i was the cop, I might have turned a blind eye. That ol' coot isn't going to cause any harm more than likely. Still he was wrong

As for calling for impeachment. I don't like Obama's policies but Impeachment is absurd.He is the elected head of our constitutional government and has not committed a high crime or misdemeanor. i support the Constitution no matter if I support the person or not

Civil rights protestors are not the same thing as anti-civil rights protestors. When you put the word anti in front of it, it changes the meaning.

English

In standard written English, when two negatives are used in one sentence, the negatives are understood to cancel one another and produce a weakened affirmative. However, in many dialects, the second negative is employed as an intensifier and should be understood as strengthening the negation rather than removing it.

Two negatives resolving to a positive

In Standard English, two negatives are understood to resolve to a positive. This rule was observed as early as 1762, when Bishop Robert Lowth wrote A Short Introduction to English Grammar with Critical Notes.^[1] For instance, "I do not disagree" could mean "I certainly agree". Further statements may be necessary to resolve which particular meaning was intended.

Because of this ambiguity, double negatives are frequently employed when making back-handed compliments. The phrase "Mr. Jones was not incompetent." will seldom mean "Mr. Jones was very competent" since the speaker would have found a more flattering way to say so. Instead, some kind of problem is implied, though Mr. Jones possesses basic competence at his tasks.
