Title: Oh yea one more whacko with guns. Post by srinath on 12/24/12 at 10:06:53 http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/lookout/two-firefighters-shot-killed-while-responding-webster-n-163105823.html A gunman set a trap and shot and killed two firefighters responding to an early morning blaze in Webster, N.Y. Two other first responders were serious condition, police officials said. WTH is wrong with Idiots like this ... did he set the buildings on fire too ? I hope they never mention his name, just say suspect, disturbed medicated gunman etc etc, and never say a name. I also hope they bury him in an unmarked grave or in a grave identified by a convict number or cremate him and fertilize the cemetery with the ashes. It will be a good lesson to other whacko's who will know if they did somehting like this, no one will ever know their name. I hope, I hope, I hope. Cool. Srinath. |

Post by Paraquat on 12/26/12 at 11:18:45 Is he any better than the fire fighter who had a hero complex and started a fire so he could claim the glory of extinguishing it? (He failed, the fire spread, and that is why it made the news here) There are all kinds of weirdos. --Steve |

Title: Re: Oh yea one more whacko with guns. Post by WD on 12/26/12 at 16:25:44 The gunman was a convicted murderer, 17 year sentence for beating his grandmother to death with a hammer. And yes, he did set the fire. Last report I saw on it he had some relatives missing currently. And he offed himself. His name is all over the 'net in any story on the incident. He was off his psych meds. He should have ridden the lightning when he killed his grandmother. >:( |

Title: Re: Oh yea one more whacko with guns. Post by Jerry Eichenberger on 12/28/12 at 10:37:07 As a lawyer, but one who doesn't do criminal defense work, I think the entire sentencing system is what's out of whack. Why didn't this guy get life without parole for killing the grandmother? I am at a loss to explain. Yet one of my law school classmates is doing life for shooting his wife when he came home to find another man in bed with her. This guy is paying his debt - maybe the fact that he was a lawyer had something to do with the sentence, as the courts despise lawyers and law enforcement officers who go to the dark side and commit crimes, even crimes of passion. Yet a guy who beats someone to death with a hammer gets only 17 years? Gimme a break. Again, it's bad or mentally ill people who need to be controlled, not the weapon of choice. |

Title: Re: Oh yea one more whacko with guns. Post by Paraquat on 12/28/12 at 14:41:48 My guns have cable locks and are in a safe inside my house. I have a Remington with a lock built into the trigger. You need a special key to unlock it. My car sits, not in my garage, but in my driveway. Unlocked. It doesn't have an alarm system and I have the option of using or not using my seatbelt even though I'm prohibited from driving without it and there are consequences to face if I'm caught. Although the state requires I register and insure my vehicles this is not always the case. There have been a few times when I've driven it without either. Slap a plate on it and go. These were times in my early 20s when it was my only for of transportation though. Edit: I got derailed and forgot what I was going to say. I remember now... Ultimately it's my decision to get tanked up and got for a high speed drive into a shopping mall or to drive sober, follow all the laws, and arrive safely. THE DECISION LIES WITH THE INDIVIDUAL. Same with my firearms. --Steve |

Title: Re: Oh yea one more whacko with guns. Post by srinath on 12/28/12 at 15:53:03 And If your kid was adam lanza he'd kill you with that car, then jump into it and go for a high speed drive through a school ... Would be really stupid, wont it, a simple set of keys will have stopped that from happening. Yea no, you cant leave the keys lying on the hood ... keys are keys, need to be kept secure. Just thought I'd close off that stupid comeback. Cool. Srinath. |

Unless you know 1940s vehicles you can't start it... Hasn't been licensed since 1974, and yes, it has been driven since then on the public roads with 1974 tabs. Cops never messed with me about it. Towed my last licensed in 1991, in Alaska (by someone else), non-titled horse trailer across the country in 2011. Without brake lights or turn signals. Or issues. Behind a same era (antique) 1/2 ton truck. That has no seat belts. Or brake lights. ::) |

Title: Re: Oh yea one more whacko with guns. Post by verslagen1 on 01/01/13 at 23:03:56 What's the harm? 1. Why do you need to see your posts bigger and clearer than anyone else's? Are you more important? Don't you care to read what others have posted just as easily? 2. I'm nearsighted, my old eyes don't focus on the computer while wearing my glasses anymore, so I do sympathize with needing larger text. I resize the text on the screen so I can comfortably see it, that's all the text. Yeah I could resize for every post but that pretty annoying. I don't even like doing that for pictures. |

If California, as a state, wanted to legalize marijuana then let them. See how their economy, production, employment, crime rates all change as a result. Other states could use them as an example and then dismiss, accept, or adapt the findings based off of California's little experiment all while remaining a control group isolated from the experiment. That's such a great idea it should be an amendment. Giving the state that power would contradict what the federal government has previously imposed however.

Title: Re: Oh yea one more whacko with guns. Post by WebsterMark on 01/02/13 at 11:46:06 Next time you look in the dictionary for the definition of hypocrisy; here's what it will say: A Clarkstown police report issued on December 28, 2012, confirmed that The Journal News has hired armed security guards from New City-based RGA Investigations and that they are manning the newspaper’s Rockland County headquarters at 1 Crosfield Ave., West Nyack, through at least tomorrow, Wednesday, January 2, 2013. According to police reports on public record, Journal News Rockland Editor Caryn A. McBride was alarmed by the volume of “negative correspondence,” namely an avalanche of phone calls and emails to the Journal News office, following the newspaper’s publishing of a map of all pistol permit holders in Rockland and Westchester. Due to apparent safety concerns, the newspaper then decided to hire RGA Investigations to provide armed personnel to man the location |

Title: Re: Oh yea one more whacko with guns. Post by srinath on 01/02/13 at 12:54:53 I dont know what Bogus Bovine excrement this is webster ... but gun permits issued to people = permits issued to criminals and non criminals. Any one can get it, the NRA has made sure of that. Its what the NRA does. Putting armed cops and security people around you = good guys carrying guns. Its what the NRA says. Do as I say, not as I do ? Its not hypocritical, its a reflection of the rather lax gun permitting/issual/sale process. Why doesn't it ever enter your head ... we want good guys to have guns ... we dont trust in the gun sale and permitting process to make that happen. Cool. Srinath. |

Title: Re: Oh yea one more whacko with guns. Post by MShipley on 01/02/13 at 13:09:48 So srinath, you are saying that it is NOT HYPOCRITICAL for The Journal to be aginst my rights to defend my home, and to go so far as to print my name and address in thier paper (as if I am a bad person) without my permission, because I own a gun to protect my home. When they hire guns to protect thier home..............sounds like hypocracy to me. However, I will stand up for The Jounal here because the truth is we are all hypocrits to some degree....... it is our God given right to choose wrong. :) |

Title: Re: Oh yea one more whacko with guns. Post by srinath on 01/02/13 at 13:15:50 They didn't say you are a bad person in the list of gun owners did they ?

This is just totally flat out wrong in every way. Not a spec of truth in it at all. All permit processes have a background check. Felons are knocked off. Adjudicated metal deficits (Legally judged nutbags) are also denied. In Texas, anyone behind in child support, state taxes or student loans is also blocked. Local law enforcement is notified and they can ask for "extended investigation" in some cases. (People under investigation) In New Jersey, you have to have written approval of the local police chief.

Regardless your excellent command of the English language, the message Lancer (and others) is trying to get across is that you thik in a different way from them, and your perceptions are different, so your comments may offend someone... ... not because you are wrong, but because you are different. I believe you did your high school in India, and emigrated to the US... possibly after graduating? Mind you, exactly the same applies to me. Even though I spent a good portion of my school years in the US (Fairfax Co., VA) I did my high school years in Italy, and that is the time when one forges his character and the fundamentals of his ethical, political and social views. That is when you create your individual points of reference for life to come. When one suggested "you write too much", I had to smile at myself because I make exactly the same mistake (see, here we go again ! ;) ) It is a matter of culture. You and I are Old World, whatever you may think or however you may feel. We thrive on discussion over smantics. The rest of the Forum Members are Anglosaxon, one thought, one word. It is like the difference between Julius Caesar (read his "Gallic Wars", he summed up Gaul in 5 (five!) words) and Seneca, the philosopher who could rant endlessy on the semantics of the subtleties of grammar... :P I will save his views on ethics for another time... :-X ;) Cool Maurizio |

I was born in Marysville,California and lived there until I was 10, then the family moved to Cupertino and was there until I finished high school. My folks were both from OK originally and moved back there at that time. I went off to college and then years in the military. I've been in SC for 24 yrs and am now preparing to move to OK. One of my son-in-laws is from India; he moved here about 12 years ago when he was in his early 20's. We can work through the communication process whether agreeing with each other or not. Have a blessed day Srinath. |

I could not disagree more with this opinion. Not only does Srinath have an excellent command of the English Language, but his comments are clear, cogent, articulate, and Spot On. If he is percieved as "different" from the rest of us, it is perhaps because his intellect reflects poorly on the rest of us. |

Title: Re: Oh yea one more whacko with guns. Post by LANCER on 01/07/13 at 03:47:40 Many of us think differently from others, and thank God we are still free to say so. While disagreeing on some points with Srinath my difficulty has been mostly grammatical. Some of his statements are to me a series of sentence fragments strung together. I assume that since he lived the first half of his life in India that Hindi and not English is his first language and most likely accounts for some of his writing style. My first wife was the type of person who's mind moved very quickly from subject to subject, and this was reflected in her writing as well, which tended to be sentence fragments strung together, so perhaps it is Srinath's quick moving mind. She also tended to go from points a & b to conclusion G in one fell swoop, which made no sense at all to me. I'm not saying he does that, it's just something some folks do. It's no big deal; just a communication challenge at times. My mind works in more of a point by point fashion; 1,2 3; a,b c, and communication between people who's thought processes are different can be difficult. I give credit to anyone who is capable of speaking multiple languages though. I do not but wish I did. I've been thinking about trying to learn a new one lately. |

Title: Re: Oh yea one more whacko with guns. Post by WebsterMark on 01/07/13 at 06:05:41 Bet he knows you are. I've never lied to Srinath. I disagree with him and can't follow what's he's trying to get across. lancer's probably correct in that it's a language barrier. you on the other hand Star; lie constantly. It's your defining characteristic. |
