The next good call should be that Penn State gets to sit this season and hopefully next season out in NCAA football. The disease there is systemic and it's infected every level of Penn State sports that is connected to or benefits from the football program. The best thing to do to ensure that both the victims have justice and the University learns from and properly corrects this crime is to burn the whole thing down and rebuild.1 point

Several people have posted that even if armed they are not sure they could have taken a shot in the darkness, with gas swirling around, etc; or felt that their shots would be ineffective due to his body armor. If you are going to carry, you owe it to yourself to carry a quality gun of a fighting caliber in a secure, quality holster. You need to be proficient in the use of that specific gun. If you can't make static head shots at 50 feet with zero misses you'd better not be packing. If you can't reload without looking at the weapon, reload under severe stress, and clear a malfunction without looking, you'd better not be packing. Carry reloads. Carry a small flashlight, even in the daylight... it's useful for all sorts of stuff but especially useful if you have to identify a threat in the dark or engage someone in the dark. Carry a secondary weapon; not necessarially a second gun, but a knife, OC, something to use as a weapon if there is a failure or loss of your gun. I can't say what I would have done in that exact situation, but I can tell you I would have been carrying a Glock 26, 2 spare mags, a knife, and a flashlight; and I'm capable of making static headshots every time with the G26 at 75 feet. I like to think I'd have had the tools, training, and heart to get the job done and put that fucker down. I get tired of contacting CCW guys who are carrying a piece of shit Diamondback in a E-bay $12 holster, no training, no rounds fired through the gun, no spare mags, no secondary weapons or light, shaky legal knowledge (as evidenced by the whole "trespass" discussion here); and who think they they are somehow prepared for a life-or-death confrontation with someone. Every time I leave the house, be it for work or personal stuff, I mentally am gearing up to kill someone, or multiple someones, if I have to. I am secure in my equipment, my training, my legal knowledge, and I have plans in place for various contingencies - including briefing my wife and step-kids on what to do if we encounter extreme violence and I have to go hands on with someone. I don't think that mindset is prevalent enough among the CCW community. It needs to be.1 point

You are a complete and utter fool. Alarms may deter criminals but they don't stop them. Dogs also deter but can't be counted on to attack an intruder and can be shot easily. You can be a master of ninjutsu but it doesn't make you bullet proof. My oldest sister was raped and stabbed to death in Akron in 1991. If she had been carrying a gun at the time she might be alive today. Plenty of women owe their lives to owning and carrying a handgun. Go tell them they don't need one. Tell a 105 lb woman that she needs to learn kung fu to defend herself from a 250 lb rapist. Your opinions are pure, unmitigated bullshit and you need a good slap.1 point

I like a lot of what he had to say. And I AGREE WHOLE HEARTEDLY, that if the movie theater wan not a CPZ, it would not have been targeted. That being said... I can only speculate as to what I would have done, and it's easy to arm chair QB. But, I don't think I would have taken a shot unless: 1. I had a clear sight and positive ID of the shooter (hard to do in a dark theater when other permit holders may also be reacting) 2. I knew what was beyond my target, depending on ammo I was carrying, I am that confident in my aim. 3. That I knew my friends/loved ones were down and safe behind me. 4. Side point.... It's tear gas, yes it sucks, no it can't kill 99.9999% of people, but it will make 80% of people freak the eff out! 5. When it comes down to these types of situations ( life and death) you don't think, you react. -VanDy1 point

I'm pretty sure you pulled that out of your ass Natural-born citizen Who is a natural-born citizen? Who, in other words, is a citizen at birth, such that that person can be a President someday? The 14th Amendment defines citizenship this way: "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside." But even this does not get specific enough. As usual, the Constitution provides the framework for the law, but it is the law that fills in the gaps. The Constitution authorizes the Congress to do create clarifying legislation in Section 5 of the 14th Amendment; the Constitution, in Article 1, Section 8, Clause 4, also allows the Congress to create law regarding naturalization, which includes citizenship. Currently, Title 8 of the U.S. Code fills in the gaps left by the Constitution. Section 1401 defines the following as people who are "citizens of the United States at birth:" Anyone born inside the United States * Any Indian or Eskimo born in the United States, provided being a citizen of the U.S. does not impair the person's status as a citizen of the tribe Any one born outside the United States, both of whose parents are citizens of the U.S., as long as one parent has lived in the U.S. Any one born outside the United States, if one parent is a citizen and lived in the U.S. for at least one year and the other parent is a U.S. national Any one born in a U.S. possession, if one parent is a citizen and lived in the U.S. for at least one year Any one found in the U.S. under the age of five, whose parentage cannot be determined, as long as proof of non-citizenship is not provided by age 21 Any one born outside the United States, if one parent is an alien and as long as the other parent is a citizen of the U.S. who lived in the U.S. for at least five years (with military and diplomatic service included in this time) A final, historical condition: a person born before 5/24/1934 of an alien father and a U.S. citizen mother who has lived in the U.S1 point

you're being very irrational. what do you hunt in the middle of a city anyway? for thousands of years people hunted with everything but a gun. you don't need a gun to survive. sorry but that argument has no merrit. if anything it just proves we should improve our disaster response efforts. without a gun there's no way he could have killed all these people. most he could have done is stab a few people. besides, I didn't read about some CCW person stopping anyone from doing something like this EVER. name the last time any of you actually needed a gun to defend yourself. your chances of being struck by lightning are much higher. sorry but if they ever put a vote up for banning gun sales/manufacturing in the usa I'm voting for it. it's the only way to stop these morons from getting their hands on one. because someone is putting guns in the hands of criminals in the first place. then you got legit stores selling guns to whoever walks through the door. these things are not a toy any random moron should be allowed to buy. fuck sake we make people go through drivers ed to drive a car. why not make it a dreadful pain in the ass to get a gun at least. YOU gun loving bible thumping 2nd amendment nuts ENABLE criminals to have guns and shoot people with them.-1 points

"Dissent without permission" may sound like Orwellian doublespeak, but for Chinese, Russians, Americans and others it's a criminal offense. Will that backfire? DISSENT WITHOUT PERMISSION: WILL PROTEST PERMITS & FREE SPEECH ZONES HALT OR HASTEN REBELLION? )( IN CHINA, "protesting" without a permit - which defines and limits where, when and how you are allowed to "protest" - is punishable by stiff fines and/or imprisonment for several years: Rising Protests in China http://tinyurl.com/84epz4j Lack of Freedom of Speech and Censorship in China http://tinyurl.com/74j9eln China's Ai Weiwei loses appeal against tax fine http://tinyurl.com/73ups22 And that's nothing compared to what you'll find in this 2012 Human Rights Watch World Report for China, e.g. "...unnerved by the pro-democracy Arab Spring movements and a scheduled Chinese leadership transition in October 2012, the government launched the largest crackdown on human rights lawyers, activists, and critics in a decade. The authorities also strengthened internet and press censorship, put the activities of many dissidents and critics under surveillance, restricted their activities, and took the unprecedented step of rounding up over 30 of the most outspoken critics and 'disappearing' them for weeks." http://www.hrw.org/world-report-2012/world-report-2012-china )( IN RUSSIA, "protesting" without a permit - which defines and limits where, when and how you are allowed to "protest" - is punishable by stiff fines and/or imprisonment for several years: New Russian Law Assesses Heavy Fines on Protesters http://tinyurl.com/6vgzwvr Post a Link, Go to Jail: Russia Tries To Silence Protest http://tinyurl.com/84muc8d And that's nothing compared to what you'll find in this 2012 Human Rights Watch World Report for Russia, e.g. "Harassment of human rights defenders continues and the working climate for civil society organizations and activists remains hostile... Human rights defenders are vulnerable to harassment and violent attack, and those working in the North Caucasus are especially at risk... The right to freedom of assembly remains problematic in Russia, where police frequently disperse public rallies held by civil society activists and the political opposition.

The federal government continues abusive counterterrorism policies, including detentions without charge at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba... [NDAA 2012 expanded] US domestic authority to detain alleged terrorism suspects indefinitely without charge and to mandate military detention for a certain category of terrorism suspects [including American citizens on American soil]." http://www.hrw.org/world-report-2012/world-report-2012-united-states )( THERE ARE DIFFERENCES between the rights and privileges accorded to citizens of China, Russia and the USA, but those differences are rapidly dwindling in both number and degree. Thanks to institutional indoctrination and decades of sophisticated mental manipulation by an elite-controlled mainstream media - now reinforced by covert and overt pressures to conform with carefully-crafted norms programmed into social media for projection in real life - the American Sheeple can no longer distinguish the liberties of democracy from the favoritism of fascism. They've been fattened up with junk food and GMO, and had the fight bred right out of them. They don't care anymore about freedom; they just want a comfortable cell. If that were not the case then the 99% - or at least the 46 million Americans who now live in poverty - would be asking questions like these: Are free speech zones most effective as soapboxes, or censorship? Is a demonstration in a free speech zone an effective protest? Does a demonstration with a parade permit create a disruption? Does a protest that creates no disruption get any attention? Does a protest that gets no attention make any difference? I recently heard a talking head say police states allow a certain amount of open protest to serve as a pressure relief valve to avoid open rebellion, and that the Occupy Movement has been tolerated to the extent it has primarily for that purpose. But before being assassinated by the 'magic bullet' of 'lone gunman' Lee Harvey Oswald in 1963, John F. Kennedy said "Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable." They can't both be right... ### HEADS UP FOR TWITTER USERS... Apparently tweeting the truth about greedy corporations or corrupt politicians is all it takes to get yourself censored on Twitter. Since our recent unrelated disclosures that (a) eating a bowl of Cheerios is no more "heart healthy" than eating a bowl of dirt ( http://bit.ly/zDYa45 ) and (b) many American Bikers suffer from Sensenbrenner Syndrome ( http://bit.ly/MBBIBQ ), tweets from @VVVPR are being blocked from the Twitter search stream. If you are a Twitter user, we ask you to tweet @Support and demand they respond to ticket #5626282 and end their spineless censorship of @VVVPR. ...AND A QUESTION ABOUT THE COLORADO BATMAN THEATER SHOOTING: http://twitter.com/WatchFrogsBoil/status/226629769016520704 ### IronBoltBruce via VVV PR ( http://veritasvirtualvengeance.com | http://twitter.com/vvvpr ) Related Image: http://veritasvirtualvengeance.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/dissent_without_permission.gif Related Image: http://veritasvirtualvengeance.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/dissent_without_permission_china.jpg Related Image: http://veritasvirtualvengeance.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/dissent_without_permission_russia.jpg Related Image: http://veritasvirtualvengeance.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/dissent_without_permission_amerika.jpg Related Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDQhgdaUdJI Related Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxCl2EXNqd8 DARE TO DONATE: http://www.wepay.com/donate/ironboltbruce Tag: #protest, #protests, #freespeechzones, #humanrights, #oppression, #orwellian, #china, #russia, #amerika, #sheeple, #fascism, #fascists, #kleptocracy, #anonymous, #ows, #protest, #rebellion, #revolution Key: protest, protests, protesters, protesting, protest permits, free speech zones, dissent without permission, human rights, oppression, orwellian, china, russia, amerika, sheeple, fascism, fascists, kleptocracy, anonymous, ows, protest, rebellion, revolution-2 points
