I say i think you are the one that is butt hurt. Then you and akronite report me for not contributing or posting like a moderator?

Oh okay. This is cool. You could've actually showed my report (where I stated it wasn't serious) rather than just throwing me under the bus. And, as far as I can recall, it was my FIRST time reporting anyone.

Guess I'll give a real one now!

1. He was acquitted. He, in the eyes of the law, will spend no time for the murder.

2. A verdict of not guilty means that in the eyes of criminal law, you could not prove he did it beyond a reasonable doubt.

Lowering the burden of proof means absolutely nothing when it comes to criminal charges.

Continue to not acknowledge that you're mad he wasn't guilty for a charge not even on the table.

Still unwilling to acknowledge what you actually posted, eh?

The funny thing about this is that you got your panties in a bunch over a statement thay was pretty damn innocuous. This was it:

Not quite sure how he got out of a conviction for negligent homicide.

Notice that didn't I say anything about him being not guilty of first degree murder, or of second degree murder. I understood that.

However, negligent homicide is when you do something grossly negligent and kill someone withiut intendi g to do so. According to his own version of events, he picked up a gun he claims to have "found" on that crowded pier, fired three rounds at some sea lions, and then tossed the gun into the water, without realizing that one of the bullets had ricocheted and killed Kate Steinle.

That sounds like the very definitiin of negligent homicide, which is why I said I was "not quite sure" how he was found not guilty.

The problem was that you knew nothing of the case and didn't know that he'd admitted firing the bullets that killed her.

And by the way, if this was a black guy who got killed, and the shooter was white, this board would be going apeshit.

And I won't be contributing to your attempt to wrongfully frame me as a racist.

I wasn't calling you out. Huber, Max, Caf, and others are the ones who are fit to be tied over the Christmas cards.

I did nothing of the sort lol.. all you had to do was answer the question honestly.. . You chose not to, so you kinda framed yourself, don't ya think?

Me? I see them both as terrorists. See? That wasn't so hard. Why is that question so difficult for you to answer?

I view a lot criminals in this country as terrorists regardless of race. But labeling someone as a terrorist doesn't accomplish much. Only fixing the problem does.

Accomplishes is probably not the right word, but when some people are always labeled terrorists, it helps to label other groups similarly to show the unenlightened that anyone can be a terrorist.

Flynn cooperating. Soon, we will find out what story he has to tell. Potentially not a good thing for the President or those close to him.

My point was - and I think this is obvious but you're just being obtuse - would you categorize a Muslim man doing the exact same act yelling ALLAHU AKBAR as a "one off".. I know I sure wouldn't. That is a terrorist. And so are white men that commit similar acts of terror. They aren't dismissable as a "one off crazy guy" anymore than Brown people are dismissable.

We don't know if the Las Vegas shooter was a terrorist. We still do not have a motive.

@Huber. is this the week?

YES!

Unless I'm missing something, the substantive sin committed by Flynn was, post-election, asking the Russians not to take any precipitous or retaliatory action against the U.S. until the new Administration was in power.

If there's something more than that, fine. Just trying to get see if my understanding is correct.
