Simply false. apocalypsehow Jun 2012 #28
"It was in the news report" apocalypsehow Jun 2012 #30
it seems simple deduction is not your strong suit gejohnston Jun 2012 #31

When armed robbers lock the door it often means they plan to murder everybody. GreenStormCloud Jun 2012 #38
There's that "it often means" stuff again, along with this phenonmenaly callous observation: apocalypsehow Jun 2012 #54
Why are you confused over the statistical qualifier "often"? ManiacJoe Jun 2012 #57
Why are you so confused by plain English? We KNOW "what actually happened in the store": apocalypsehow Jun 2012 #64
Yet we still know almost nothing about the circumstances. PavePusher Jun 2012 #72
The sad part is that ManiacJoe Jun 2012 #75

You know darn well members of gun culture claim they aren't cowboys and don't hit innocent people. Hoyt Jun 2012 #40
You make an aweful lot of assumptions ManiacJoe Jun 2012 #58
CCWer save more innocent lives than we take. GreenStormCloud Jun 2012 #61
Psst, Hoyt- your Colon is showing: friendly_iconoclast Jun 2012 #89
Sounds to me like CCW holder was trapped in the store with the armed robbers. Atypical Liberal Jun 2012 #11
The supposedly law-abiding, responsible, well-trained gun toter was not any of those things. Hoyt Jun 2012 #41

As a former robber, I locked the door to keep people out, especially police. Hoyt Jun 2012 #43
I'm guessing it did not occur to you that the cops gejohnston Jun 2012 #44
Apparently it has not occurred to you that the CHLer is as bad as the robbers. Hoyt Jun 2012 #47
So you admit you are a criminal, that explains a lot. MicaelS Jun 2012 #53
You should admit you can't size up a situation and should be barred from carrying guns. Hoyt Jun 2012 #55
You know you remind me of that old southern phrase MicaelS Jun 2012 #56
Do you keep dossiers on everyone? You'd have to go back quite a while here to pick up Hoyt Jun 2012 #60

Vile. AtheistCrusader Jun 2012 #79

The only possible way I might agree with you, is if it was intentional. AtheistCrusader Jun 2012 #82
