Let's review the bidding in this murder.
A Los Angeles cop thought that a car he saw might have been stolen and that a man who was near the car might have something to do with it. So he killed him.
Your chance of being murdered by a law enforcement officer is more than 100 times worse than your chance of being murdered by an immigrant, illegal or otherwise.
Disarm the police.
Harry,
ReplyDeleteYou learn nothing from the comment section of your own blog.
Per the explanations we had from Skipper last time, you are supposed to have your feelings much more hurt if a foreigner kills someone, because someone from other tribe killing someone of your tribe is something really awful, worse than death itself.
Also, this policeman killed someone with a Latin sounding name, so this is really no big deal.
Harry, you have proven once again you are utterly inept with statistics. The second sentence in your post is so glaringly wrong that it beggars belief you wrote it.
ReplyDeleteClovis, piss off.
ReplyDeleteSkipper,
ReplyDeleteI confess that, for all my efforts at your language, I still can't deal very well with a "piss off" statement.
Is it like a "f**k you" in less offensive ways?
Is it a "get outta here"?
Is it a concession of my rhetorical victory?
I am drinking beer while I write, so I may well soon piss off for real, but is it what you really wanted?
Clovis, in this case “piss off” is an expression of complete disdain, because that is all this heap of rubbish —

— deserves.
Unless, of course, you can quote me saying that.
What is it with progressives and making stuff up?
Skipper,
ReplyDeleteDo you fancy that, by mocking your position, I am free from literal quotes? Parodies aren't devised by quote marks.
The issue would seem to be, was this a kill-crazy cop, and, of yes, why aren't rightwingers outraged?
ReplyDeleteBecause they know that criminals are people who don't look or act like them.

ReplyDeleteClovis, I fancy that by mocking my position, you are mocking a position I have actually taken.
Slander is devised without quote marks.
[Harry:] The issue would seem to be, was this a kill-crazy cop, and, if yes, why aren't rightwingers outraged?
ReplyDeleteWell, that is kind of a big "if", isn't it?
[OP:] A Los Angeles cop thought that a car he saw might have been stolen ...
Actually was stolen.
... and that a man who was near the car might have something to do with it.
"Near the car" being a very interesting way of conveying that the man who was near the car was inside the car, and not just inside the car, but driving the car.
And ignoring commands to stop.
Even for a journalist, you are very flexible with facts.
Your chance of being murdered by a law enforcement officer is more than 100 times worse than your chance of being murdered by an immigrant, illegal or otherwise.
Have you spotted the barking mad error in that sentence?
So you won't cop to your erroneous reporting, and wish to remain clueless about elementary statistics.
