23. We are at the mercy of the murdering, raging gun freaks....

... and quite clearly, there is NO ONE in Washington DC with enough spine and political influence to even try to do anything about it.

And they wonder why we are so damn cynical.

That's not troll hunting	pintobean	Aug 2012	#53
I went to the link. She did not claim to be a cop. Everyone should click through to see	limpyhobbler	Aug 2012	#58
Not really. She was asked by several people in that thread (including me) to clarify, and she	SlimJimmy	Aug 2012	#64
It does not need to be clarified. This is nothing but harassment.	limpyhobbler	Aug 2012	#74
No, a person can't click through and see what she was talking about. You are absolutely full of it.	SlimJimmy	Aug 2012	#84
Don't participate in stalking and harassment.	limpyhobbler	Aug 2012	#87
I asked a legitimate question in the thread and it was ignored for several months. What part of	SlimJimmy	Aug 2012	#88
Anybody can see the person did not claim to be a former cop.	limpyhobbler	Aug 2012	#89
What part of "I was part of the original thread" do you not get? I asked her in that thread	SlimJimmy	Aug 2012	#101
I get that. She was not claiming to be a former cop. That screenshot is out-of-context harassment.	limpyhobbler	Aug 2012	#105
You keep repeating this as if it's fact.	SlimJimmy	Aug 2012	#106
It's the same sleazy smear tactic Fox News uses	limpyhobbler	Aug 2012	#111
I can't make my position any clearer. You simply REFUSE to accept	SlimJimmy	Aug 2012	#112
Anyone can view the quote in context & judge for themself if the person was claiming to be an ex-cop	limpyhobbler	Aug 2012	#113
Exactly. She was not referring to herself, but her buddies on that 'other site' naturally	sabrina 1	Aug 2012	#76
"As a former cop, I get it"	zappaman	Aug 2012	#78
You are wrong. Two people have now pointed out to you that you have completely misinterpreted	sabrina 1	Aug 2012	#80
The 'former cop' she was referring to, btw, was the one mentioned in the comment she was responding	sabrina 1	Aug 2012	#81
I agree, sabrina	pinboy3niner	Aug 2012	#82
Yes, I noticed that also when I read it which is why I did not think	sabrina 1	Aug 2012	#92
As an actual ex-cop, not a pretend one, I took her comments as she wrote them. If, in fact,	SlimJimmy	Aug 2012	#85
This is stalking and harassment. It's also a lie.	limpyhobbler	Aug 2012	#59
Because most people won't click through.	JoeyT	Aug 2012	#61
Reading comprehension fail.	JoeyT	Aug 2012	#60
Well, at least she answered the question I've been asking her since April.	SlimJimmy	Aug 2012	#62
Except when she says she was.	zappaman	Aug 2012	#69
I have to agree. If she was talking about someone else, she would have said "he", not I.	SlimJimmy	Aug 2012	#70
Looks like you misunderstood her comment.	sabrina 1	Aug 2012	#73
"As a former cop, I get it."	zappaman	Aug 2012	#75
No, you are incorrect and you should delete your misinterpretations of her comment.	sabrina 1	Aug 2012	#77

Yup	nadinbrzezinski	Aug 2012	#38
Oh for fuck sake	Ya Basta	Aug 2012	#39

You missed the point completely. None ever are 'lone wolves', but that is how they are portrayed	sabrina 1	Aug 2012	#94
"None ever are 'lone wolves"	zappaman	Aug 2012	#95
Sure, but those who commit murder for political reasons rarely are lone wolves.	sabrina 1	Aug 2012	#96
Like today's shooting?	zappaman	Aug 2012	#97
