I bought toilet paper last night at Walmart. The price marked on the shelf was $14.95. I checked out, it was $19.98
The shelves were full, but no prices were marked. I blame the New York Stink Exchange (NYSE). Butt it was worth it...
Buy now, pray later~
Other angles show pistol. Must have clipped audio on the mic.Quote:

If you believe in the principle of Stand Your Ground, you have to at least consider the Capitol Police, who are charged with the protection of the personnel within the building as having some authority to use deadly force when people are inside the Capitol and presenting a danger.
Jump the fence at a nuke site, a prison, the White House, other sensitive or restricted sites and thank the guards for exercising discretion if they don't shoot you. She wasn't walking down a public sidewalk. She rolled her dice and they came up "snake eyes." Sad but very foreseeable, given the circumstances.
I was a little surprised they took the shot with the other Capitol Police officers behind her. A miss or pass through could easily have it one of those officers.
Be safe.

The Fed Gov, that is no friend of the People, got a little reminder yesterday that their little safe space isn't actually so safe. No congressmen or women got strung up. None of them got tarred and feathered. No congressmen or women got hurt. They got a reality check directed squarely at them (as opposed to unrelated civilian businesses and property being targeted)
Here is something for your own eyes and ears; at least until all the videos are censored.Quote:

Probably was a Sig. I feel sorry for her husband. The nation is divided.

But my first thought is most of them, at a minimum, are probably in the process of committing burglary. That's according to a widely used definition of illegally entering a building with the intent of committing a crime. So, to me (and this is just speculation on my part), she was likely in the process of committing a felony.
Based on what I saw in the video it doesn't appear to me that deadly force was appropriate. But I don't have the entire story so I'm not going to judge the officer's actions one way or another. I will say this entire incident is being treated completely differently by EVERYONE in politics and the media from theviolent riotspeaceful protests over the summer by those on the left. I'm so sick of the double standards I could just scream.
To all of you who think it's time to rise up, this is just a tiny, raindrop-in-the-ocean-sized taste of what that would look like. I would much rather deal with a leftist presidential administration than a full-blown revolution.
+1 to that BG. Its not that I expect charges either or that there isn't legal justification, undoubtedly there is plenty of legal justification, hell they could mow down the whole group breaking down the door with a M249 and likely still have legal justification and not face charges in light of the unique circumstance (although there would be other ramifications....)
It just appears to be lacking perhaps in enough moral justification. As we all know, what is legal or illegal has little to do with what is right, or what appropriate reactions and actions should be. I do agree the double standard is ridiculous and offensive. If the shoe was on the other foot, 500+ businesses would have been burned to the ground and looted already "in protest". It happens to us, and it's like half our own people are like "Well, she did start to enter the building, so guess she deserved to die".
