  1. What is in your computer that is hot enough to set it on fire? That a separate problem!
  2. I heard is was a 3-month old who died from shaking injuries sustained while in his care? Still, DB #1 DB #2. They are perfect for each other. They should share the same cell. After 14 miles you'd think one of them would have cooled down and left, but no - sustained mutual asshattery. (#could NOT care less. Coudl care less means you care at least a little bit - could NOT care less means that you do not care at all) It's not been determined for sure is there was any backing up done. DB2 says yes, DB1 says no. I wanna hear what the numerous witnesses say. If the pickup DID back up to strike (or even just to pretend to strike) the bike then pickup driver needs a Felonious Assault charge too. DB1 says the shooter was shouting "you're gonna die" as he was shooting. If the witnesses confirm that then the shooter needs to be charged with attempted murder *brake Good point. I wonder if there are any witnesses to any part of the 14 miles before the 23 off-ramp. Was it truly a mutual game of one-upmanship like the police are saying, or was it all on the biker like the pickup driver claims. The biker is wisely keeping his mouth shut right now.

    More details: http://www.newsnet5.com/dpp/news/local_news/cleveland_metro/woman-cited-for-driving-on-sidewalk-to-avoid-stopping-for-cleveland-school-bus She was cited for failing to stop for the school bus. If I was the cop, and knowing this is the second time they caught it on video, I would have cited her for passing the bus but also for driving on the sidewalk and willful/wanton disregard for safety.

    I wonder if she did it again after that? The commercial I saw was Madden/Kinect at 3rd & goal, same one? Pretty funny! Someone's got a whoppin' coming.
  5. Sorry to hear. Is there anything we can learn from this to help keep us safer? (gear/speed/etc) Or was he doing everything right and it was just his time?
  6. Wait, so are you saying you were joking now? The difference between you and I is an appropriate understanding of the law. You're probably one of those folks who advise people; "put a knife from your kitchen in his hand" or "drag the bad guy into your house" after a self-defense shooting. (Oh, and I am acutely aware that forums are public and any conversation here could wind up in the prosecutor's hands. That unrepentant asseveration that the BG must die rather than just be stopped could come back to haunt you)
  7. If I was him I'd mess up that take repeatedly so we had keep doing it.
  8. Well it didn't end the thread the first couple times it was posted here, so don't hold your breath.
  9. If you are going to pull a gun in self defense then stop the threat. If he dies then so be it. Does "complete the task" then would you continue shooting once he was incapacitated? Go up to him while he's lying on the floor and shoot a couple more times? If you ever follow through on your apparent plan to execute the bad guy after he's incapacitated then you're gonna wind up with a murder charge.
  10. Not my thing either otherwise, but it's in memory of my late mother who was called Rose.
  11. Had a couple help me in an unmarked Malibu on time when I lost cargo from my roof rack braking to avoid a deer. They had lights etc and were in plain clothes. Said they were with the state and used their vehicle to give me a safe space to get my crap sorted out. Yesterday saw another similar Malibu with two smartly dressed guys OC's like it was no big thing. Detectives I guess. Called in an unmarked crown vic pulling over a car on the freeway once and the dispatcher took the plate and description of the vehicle and said it was one of theirs.
  12. This one? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSQNd9rsAbM http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_Plauche
  13. There was no threat. It wasn't a threat at 33/42, and it should never have reached 23/William. His football history will not suddenly make it a threat. Don't forget in this instance we are talking about a guy following someone into a parking lot, taking time to park the bike, set the kickstand, get off the bike and approach the other car shooting into the vehicle while the guy had his hands up? How would "make sure he's dead" help out here? In general "shoot until the threat is removed" is the correct approach, but there must be a threat to begin with. Going the extra step of making sure the victim is dead won't make a bad shoot into a good shoot. And I'm "still going on about it" because it happened in my 'hood, I'm a regular at the store it went down outside of, and I know the folks who work there.
  14. Seriously? This tripe is not even worth a response.
  15. The ramp is downhill so any backwards movement would have to be under power.
  16. Well, I would equate it to DUI laws. The law doesn't prevent all DUIs, but I would refuse to believe that it hasn't stopped any. There are three groups of folks when ti comes to storage of guns around kids... 1) Sensible people who can be trusted to keep them away from kids without laws 2) Idiots who will leave their guns lying around and never spare a thought for if a kid can find it 3) Average folks who might not always remember to store it safe, but would be motivated to be safe by the risk of the law's consequences You and I are both in the first group. Nobody is every gonna reach the second group until a kid is dead in that house. The third group, though, would benefit for the law. We just need it worded in a way that the people in the first group can go about their business as usual because they're already doing the right thing.
  17. It's all for show. It's been introduced into the 129th General Assembly which only has 3 calendar months left to run. It will expire if not passed. It will never pass. There's too much pro-CCW momentum, and not enough time. And you votes won't matter as any action taken on this legislation will happen prior to the people voted in in November taking office. "Flame suit on", but I'm not opposed to safe storage laws *for unattended firearms* in homes with kids.
  18. All the scabbing and peeling is done. Still a layer or two of silver skin but the color is back really strong. I've been swimming, running and doing karate and it's great now. The last activity I have been avoiding was JuJitsu (because of the soft flaky skin getting rubbed off by the abrasive Gi). Not a problem now so back to JJ tonight.
  19. There's a TON of lying going on. People don't randomly shoot each other - "It takes two to Tango" I don't perceive Mattingly as being all sweet and innocent based upon the information I have available to me right now. If Mattingly is trying to come up with some excuse for why Stillwagon "mistook" his actions then he needs to STFU and get a lawyer. If there are any witnesses to the truck backing up then Mattingly is at risk of charges too. Heck, given the story being told by the police (mutual antagonization) I'd expect (minor) charges against Mattingly anyway - and he doesn't want to corner himself into an indefensible position by going on record with made-up BS.
  20. http://www.10tv.com/content/stories/2012/10/02/delaware-man-says-stillwagon-shooting-misunderstanding.html Does his truck's bad transmission cause it to back up? Or is he saying that Stillwagon is lying about the truck backing up?
  21. Even then it would be word against word. "Didn't you see the deer run out from the right? I had to swerve around it..."
  22. The text should be "When your boss sees it, you'll..."
  23. 2 years. Full thread here: http://www.ohioriders.net/showthread.php?t=77181
  24. Not to pee, I hope. That's a Bumbo seat, not a potty.
