    It amuses me that the same people keen to paint police as nearly out of control are so uncritical of the government’s strategies in policing the world. See: Ukraine. See: Syria. And in a theater coming to you: Taiwan.

    Maybe they ought to have warning labels?

    “WARNING: the cable news programming you are about to watch may cause mental illness, detachment from reality, and murderous tendencies. Do not watch in the presence of women and children or within reach of firearms”.

    It is a shame that the folks have chosen to take a ringside seat at their own demise by living in fear.

    If you REALLY want to use your gun shooting something that threatens you - put a couple rounds through your TV.

    You can thank me later...

    Yeah, we've had posts here blaming the media for the increased fear. But Fox has been particularly hyping crime ever since Biden took office.

    The “fatherless black families being the cause of crime in America” line is one I see echoed on here by rightys often, it’s a Fox News favorite.

    Think both the Grandfather and the kid have serious issues. Grandpa should be in jail for what he did.

    Update on this one ... this POS got 25 to life ... good job NY. Probably would have gotten the "Stand Your Ground Well-Regulated Militia Hero Medal" if it happened in Florida.
