Really? You really said that?
You are labeling people on the basis of them saying "our own"? How do you know that they didn't mean their neighbors?
I'll ask again, show us proof that they were detaining them was racially motivated, yes, they are asshats, doesn't mean their bigots or racists.

No sympathy for these idiots...it wasn't their property, was it? rfranklin Apr 2012 #1
I don't have any sympathy for them either. Kaleva Apr 2012 #2
I'm not defending these guys but tularetom Apr 2012 #3
Well, it was 10 p.m. when they were booked Kaleva Apr 2012 #4
If they wanted to post bond, they shouldn't have shown-up at 10 pm when the judge is asleep. n/t Ian David Apr 2012 #6
BS. It's not their fault.. TheCowsCameHome Apr 2012 #8
It also probably took them all day to dig all their guns out of all those holes. Ian David Apr 2012 #14
I don't think Georgia has a registration scheme gejohnston Apr 2012 #17
The very fact that they don't see what they did wrong is why their guns should be taken away. n/t Ian David Apr 2012 #5
Exactly. Hoyt Apr 2012 #20

that seems to be the Canole's outrage gejohnston Apr 2012 #12
"Fuck the rights of the other homeowners, right?" rl6214 Apr 2012 #49
So that makes it alright? Cirque du So-What Apr 2012 #68

Racist gun vigilantes are such crybabies - and they took their precious extender devices!!!!1 jpak Apr 2012 #16
Did you really read the story jpak? AH1Apache Apr 2012 #18
BS. Racial aspect is pretty clear. Hoyt Apr 2012 #19
Your long on accusations and short on proof AH1Apache Apr 2012 #21
Proof? I'll bet they have confederate flags to go along with their AR-15s. Hoyt Apr 2012 #24
Just as I thought AH1Apache Apr 2012 #25
You aren't even willing to entertain the thought these guys might be assholes. They are certainly Hoyt Apr 2012 #32
Obviously you didn't read my earlier post AH1Apache Apr 2012 #34
And he says it again here on edit rl6214 Apr 2012 #51

I don't think I have been there gejohnston Apr 2012 #23
Well they did shoot "In the Heat of the Night" there -- which is a good indication of what Hoyt Apr 2012 #39
Yes I have - lots of "banjo music" jpak Apr 2012 #27
Newton County is relatively close to the setting for "Deliverance." Hoyt Apr 2012 #33
The vigilante gun-toters held the homeowners at gun point - because they were black jpak Apr 2012 #26
Just as I thought AH1Apache Apr 2012 #28
Here are the white vigilante gun heros jpak Apr 2012 #35
Once again AH1Apache Apr 2012 #36
You are correct - it would be a racial thing only if the toters were black and the victim white jpak Apr 2012 #37

"This is my Second Amendment right. Look, this is the country out here, and we protect our own." ellisonz Apr 2012 #41
I'm not pretending AH1Apache Apr 2012 #42
You didn't answer my question. ellisonz Apr 2012 #43
It could mean anything AH1Apache Apr 2012 #45
Clearly it means something... ellisonz Apr 2012 #47
So now proof isn't needed. AH1Apache Apr 2012 #48
That's proof enough ellisonz Apr 2012 #50
Well then, by that standard, I could call you a bigot racist and not have to prove it. AH1Apache Apr 2012 #55
And you would be in error... ellisonz Apr 2012 #57
"our own" could very well be those in that neighborhood rl6214 Apr 2012 #53
How could he tell that these people were not part of his "own" then? n/t ellisonz Apr 2012 #56
I don't know how big Newton county GA is rl6214 Apr 2012 #58
You're making an assumption that the obvious interpretation... ellisonz Apr 2012 #59
I don't know about these guys gejohnston Apr 2012 #64
If you mean I would be in error in thinking you are a bigot racist AH1Apache Apr 2012 #60
I think you replied to the wrong post rl6214 Apr 2012 #65
You obviously have never spent much time in areas like that, or you are in a state of denial. Hoyt Apr 2012 #73
I have NEVER even been in the state rl6214 Apr 2012 #76
You'd be shocked, especially if you met those two, or the thousands like them. Hoyt Apr 2012 #77
"case closed" rl6214 Apr 2012 #52
I have no words Meiko Apr 2012 #31
"This is my Second Amendment right. Look, this is the country out here, and we protect our own." ellisonz Apr 2012 #40
You have zero proof that their bigots AH1Apache Apr 2012 #46
I agree with you. I think those idiots would have done the same thing to any race. n-t Logical Apr 2012 #61
Thank You AH1Apache Apr 2012 #62
Thanks! No apology needed. Strong opinions cause that from me also at times. I am sure... Logical Apr 2012 #63
He won't be replying. n/t ellisonz Apr 2012 #72
Less then friendly neighbors have now been charged Kaleva Apr 2012 #44
In Alabama this would have been legal. Atypical Liberal Apr 2012 #66
That might not be true because of this: Kaleva Apr 2012 #67
You are right! Atypical Liberal Apr 2012 #71
True, in Alabama they would have simply told the police, he "looked like" a burglar. Hoyt Apr 2012 #74
Canoles were released on bail Tuesday night Kaleva Apr 2012 #78
