    It's the bad guy that's holding the gun, the teachers shows how to take it away..lot of folks study these things for good and bad reasons. It's just one situation and chaos more often than not doesn't follow predictable patterns. My teacher could have disarmed that guy with a broomstick

    Umm, don't do it unless you have a place to hide. The several seconds it takes for the drug to work is too long. I did it once on my bull at the ranch. Geez it pissed him off! But then he didn't have a gun.

    I'm starting to think Martial arts should be a required course in public schools from K-12 as well as weaponry and safety

    I guess I don't care for the excitement. I took my kids there to ice skate 40+ years ago, didn't like the shit I got then. Never went back.
    But I guess Sly likes it.

    It's always amazing to me how places I used to avoid when I was 21 have turned into Disneyland with Sushi bars

    Not a bad idea. But you really can't practice the good stuff.

    Before the covering and remodel of LLoyd Center they used to have a pagan lighting ceremony for the giant Christmas tree they had there.

    True story.

    Yeah, I believe you. Like I said, the guy was a victim, seeking his due. Or like we use to say, a Sad Sack.

    I remember watching a wiccan ceremony in the dunes at Florence during the Summer Solstice.

    Probably, as soon as their voting right is restored. If the can vote, then give them back their other rights.

    39 states allow felons to vote once they are off probation or parole.

    Has anyone proposed a fix that would have stopped the whako that shot the Students at UCC? He passed all the back ground checks in place for the legally purchase arms he had.

    Or do we just add more useless hurdles for the regular folks to clear?

    A background check is a useless hurdle?
