Good posts, I agree that the finger gets pointed at the police if there were earlier interventions claiming that they should have "done something". If the family won't take any action and no crime has been committed, I don't see much than can be done. Help for these kind of folks has to start way before these types of events take place and there is still no guarantee it can be avoided. Folks around these guys can clearly see issues in most of these cases. Reminds me of situations that police have to deal with regularly in spousal abuse, they show up, sometimes multiple times, and the wife won't press charges. Later on something bad happens and I can only imagine family and the involved police officers aren't too surprised when it does, while other folks are saying somebody should have done something. It's a tough problem to prevent tragedies like this and I sure wouldn't want to go down the road of locking someone up because someone "thinks" they are planning something bad.

What a pair! 🤦‍♂️ [Hidden Content] From the article: Vice President Kamala Harris went viral on Tuesday for comments she made in Highland Park, Illinois, following the horrific Independence Day parade massacre. Just one day after the mass shooting that resulted in seven killed and over 30 injured, Harris visited the northern suburb of Chicago to meet with local law enforcement. She made brief remarks to the mourning town. "We've got to take this stuff seriously, as seriously as you are because you have been forced to take this seriously," Harris said to the press and Highland Park residents. Seriously?

No problem at all, this kind of stuff should be made aware of as much as possible.

[Hidden Content] This guy seems to be the poster boy for what we have discussed on here, keeping someone from getting a gun legally due to mental health issues. This guy had red flags for sure but it looks like he committed no crime previously and the family didn't move forward with a legal complaint. I understand this is what is in the news and could be wrong but given those circumstances, is there anything law enforcement could have done or were their hands tied by no crime and no complaint? TVC, your thoughts? From the article: The suspect in the Highland Park, Illinois, Fourth of July mass shooting was flagged by police as a "clear and present danger" in 2019, authorities said Tuesday. Robert "Bobby" E. Crimo III, 21, the suspect in the mass shooting that killed seven people and wounded dozens of others at a Fourth of July parade, was still able to clear state-required background checks to purchase firearms on at least four separate occasions between 2020 and 2021, the Illinois State Police said. "In September 2019, ISP received a Clear and Present Danger report on the subject from the Highland Park Police Department. The report was related to threats the subject made against his family," Illinois State Police said in a statement posted to Twitter by a staff member for Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker. The report said that when Highland Park officers went to the family's home and asked Crimo if he felt like harming himself of others, he said no. Police said Crimo's father claimed knives in the home belonged to him and they were being kept in Crimo's closet for safekeeping. Based on that information, Highland Park Police returned the knives to the father that day. The statement said police did not make any arrests at the time and that members of the family were "not willing to move forward on a complaint." Members of the family also did not "provide information on threats or mental health that would have allowed law enforcement to take additional action," the ISP statement added. "Additionally, no Firearms Restraining Order was filed, nor any order of protection," ISP said.

That’s exactly what Texas is calling it, an invasion. I posted another thread about this where several counties are calling it just that.

🤦

[Hidden Content] One of the few things the federal government is actually tasked to do and they won't...smh.

Literally from the report: "[W]hile this report does not conclude that the President committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him," Barr quotes from Mueller's report.

10 killed / 62 wounded in Chicago last weekend and not nearly the coverage as this, and this is a problem that can be addressed with no new laws, simply better leadership. Much harder to convince the low information crowd Chicago is Trump's fault so not nearly the interest from democrats and media. [Hidden Content]

[Hidden Content] 🤦 From the article: A Washington state school board director who owns a sex shop is making headlines after announcing she will teach sex education classes for children as young as nine on topics such as "sexual anatomy for pleasure" and "safer sex practices for all kinds of sexual activities."

He owns them and they hate it!

Wishing everyone a happy 4th of July

Obviously not for getting a handle on crime.

democrats 🤦

Every now and then liberals slip up and say exactly what they are planning, seems to be one of those times.

[Hidden Content] Sad that it's so difficult to be a conservative black man in politics...smh. From the article: As Justice Clarence Thomas faces attacks from liberals — including a recent petition to have him removed from George Washington University's faculty — the justice is more influential than ever, experts on the justice tell Fox News. "The left has been after Clarence Thomas since December of 1980, really — just as he was about to join the Reagan administration. And they hate him," Mark Paoletta told Fox News Digital. Paoletta was with the George H.W. Bush administration during Thomas' confirmation and helped recruit him for the job. "They've tried to destroy him. They've tried to marginalize him," Paoletta said. "And 30 years later, he's not just standing strong. His influence is at its zenith."

He’s probably as tired of your “back and forth” as I am, which is basically arrogant condescending posts with no intention of debate at all.

FYI, he said he blocked you. It’s in the lefty handbook, if you’re losing, quit and claim it’s because your opponent isn’t worthy.

No doubt

lol

No you were very critical of Trump not coming up with a health care plan and it only makes sense you were looking to gain from it, that’s the only logical solution. Sorry he let you down.

Get rid of Obamacare and then do nothing, best path forward. The problem is folks like yourself that expect help to come from government and complain when it doesn’t.

lol, won’t be long

Trump got rid of the mandate, that was big, not his fault he couldn’t get help from the Republicans. I’m glad I don’t need government assistance either, never have. Maybe they next President can type something up and get it passed, at least according to you, lol.
