Give it a break, Josey Wales. You are a broken record. Always rambling incoherently about the same issues, everyday: catch & release, political correctness, crime, blab, blab. This is the first homicide in Whse this year - the sky is not falling in, Chicken Little. You are just getting old, lamenting about days long ago (that were never here).

Hate? Are you surviving a head injury?
Vilification of dissent is THE tactic of the left and the zealots that bleat the message of the cause.
Odd really as it seems to I at least the "tolerance" crews are by faaar the most intolerant of others who are not they.
Hate you say? Mellow dramatics much?

Frank, I would go so far as to say he keeps regurgitating the same old hate.
His professing to being a "hillbilly" explains so much though.

Frank...nope I do not. I'm a hillbilly not a grammar major.
If you do not pick up what it is that I put down?
Perhaps you got a ride to school in a shorter bus than I?

Josey. Do you have a 'word salad' generator?
Your post rarely make any sense but regurgitate the same, tired old words you feel make you appear educated.

Condolences to this man's loved ones. It's likely this man's drug past caught up to him, and it is unfortunate that he never had a chance to prove himself.

when ones factors in "catch & release" laughable justice, all the "Gladue Kangaroo's" hopping around, the PC zealots that perpetuate the dysfunction in this leftist utopia....any wonder why we are the sty we are?
