I just finished building a home away from home there. Used for mostly to escape the winters here in OR.
I think police need new gun rules too. For ALL of our sakes but especially for black folks. A few numbers for you. There were 1,129 people killed by police in 2017. Despite Blacks being just 13% of the population, 27% of those killed were Black. Blacks also accounted for 35% of the unarmed people killed by police, despite again, being just 13% of the population. Blacks are 3x more likely to get killed by police than whites. My son is 9x more likely to get killed by police than his white peers.
Too many times to know, but every time they save a soldier's life in battle they keep the enemy from advancing toward my home. I've never had a seat belt or airbag save my life either, although I've survived 9 auto accidents none of which were my fault. With about the same number of vehicles as guns in America, guess which one is used to kill more people every year?
Car deaths have actually risen 15% over 2015 and 2016. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_vehicle_fatality_rate_in_U.S._by_year
Stats are like bible verses, you can use them to "prove" anything. For instance, if I am in a room with 1 dark-complexioned person and 5 light-complexioned people I am more likely to be murdered by the dark-complexioned person. Statistical fact. Your son is far, far more likely to be killed by someone of his own race than by someone of another race. As are we all.
Ban cell phones, not just while driving. I now regularly see old people driving while texting. That shit is scary.
Equating automobile deaths with gun deaths is about as ludicrous as it comes and I ain't talking about the rapper. The number of guns used on a daily basis isn't even a fraction of how many automobiles are used on a daily basis. These sort of statements is exactly a good reason why gun control is needed. Too many idiots with guns.
I don't think there would be any way to tell which one delivered the fatal blow. The headline would read: "Man beaten to death by six people; had it coming" barfo
I'll bet most of them got into it face to face in the first place. Just walking away before something escalated to the danger point just might save some lives.
That Tiger cub eyed you like I eye a prime NY charred medium rare with a baked potato on the side. Tell me, did it try to lick you?
Yet again, thank God for that. However, that's renting not owning. I guess you could say I own Sly when it comes to humor, that's about it. By the way, don't listen to his synopsis of me 'cause it sucks.
Because Australia and the US are exactly the same and the only major difference is gun legislation. That's bullshit.
And you don’t have to own a gun. Many of us live in areas where cops are more tha 20 min away. And as we say in FL if they do show up they may decide to stay outside. If a bad guy comes into my house he will be taking the room temperature challenge. I’m not leaving the protection of my family to someone else who may not even show up. You can take your chances if you want.
