This is CNN giving an opinion about the Wall Street Journal going too far in it's opinion section........ They are comparing stating an opinion that the election was stolen in 2020 to yelling fire in a movie theater...... From the article "The op-ed section at the Journal will likely hide behind 1st Amendment free speech arguments to defend themselves. But that misses the mark, since our speech is bound in all sorts of ways already. You can't yell "bomb" on a plane without repercussions. Or "fire" in a movie theater. (Remember when we used to go to the movies? Yeah, that was fun.)" Are we going to criminalize opinions when we don't agree with them? [Hidden Content]

I taught my kid from a young age that he had every right to defend himself against an attack. It worked well for us, he was only in one fight and it lasted only a couple seconds as he only swung one time and put the dude on his butt. I picked him up from school and we went for dinner and ice cream. He was around 13. School imo should not have different self defense rules than real life.....I mean, school is suppose to prepare you for real life, right? I see both sides, but my old school mentality can't make sense of letting yourself get beat up.

I would agree with the expert part….you have experience plus you research

I really enjoyed the way Donald Rumsfeld would reply to reporters that asked stupid questions or would repeat the same questions. In his day, that man was razor sharp with a slight humor to his responses.

same

I could have misunderstood, but listening to the Sherriff's press conference today there were multiple live rounds in the gun they think was used.....along with over 500 "rounds" of ammo on set. I could not catch if the 500 was real or blanks or a combination of both. Any way you look at it, that does not sound like a safe atmosphere......

Man, I just got a blink system at my Dad's house that we just remodeled......I about wore that camera out when I heard about the tornado....luckily all is well

Getting licks worked..... My son was acting up trying to be a comedian in I think 4th grade. We had a teacher/principle conference including my Son. They wanted to put three post it notes on his desk daily and every time he disrupted the class they would remove one note. When he ran out of notes he would be sent to principle. The punishment there would be running on a treadmill. I listened to this discipline plan with a grin. When they asked me my opinion, I told them I disagreed. He will have one post it note, not three. This would give him one warning then a trip to the office. In the office he would receive three licks, not run on a treadmill.....he was an athlete, that was exercise not punishment. My Son looked at me in disbelief when I said licks....lol The principle agreed, I signed a form, and he NEVER made it to the principle.......but my guess is he lost that one post it note daily......lol

So, I'm no fan of Alec.....but I do have a question. There have been a handful of people killed by real bullets in "prop guns".....Since a prop gun shoots real bullets, they would be a real gun.......right? Why can't they make a "prop gun" that can't fire standard bullets.......and if they use real guns, why let any real bullets on the set? Seems the easy fix is to not allow real bullets on the same property with prop guns.....

that may not be a protocol but it should be.

There will be a movie for sure…..$$$$$$

LMAO....no, I stated no one has been run out unless they broke rules........I have not reviewed your 413 post so I would not know. Lets try it this way.....your comment, "Unless my view happens to differ from yours, of course! Then I get run out." Who ran you out?

He merged with another company and their stock went up like 1200% since Wednesday.... Who knows if the social media start up will work.........but if it does not, it won't be because of money......

Get run out? You are being very dramatic. I have been on this forum for years and no one has ever been "run out"........unless they could not follow the VERY simple rules of this forum.

Next time they should pick a store that does not sell firearms, and where most good ole boys shop….I recommend Dick’s😂

Someone said where they found him was underwater until recently, curious to see when he died and cause of death

Didn’t age very well……

My grandfather let me shoot his .22 at around 13 years old. We were in the country, but there were houses and camps 1/2 mile away or so. So, until he trusted me I could only shoot the rat/varmint bullets (loaded with BB's).....he would always tell me they could travel a mile......and I always thought that would be a pretty lucky shot since I shot in the dense woods most of the time.

Sometimes it is very hard, but I respect TVC's position and his balance of speaking publically and maintaining confidentiality all at the same time. I would imagine that is a tough line sometimes.

yea, I don't remember staging, but shooting, stabbing, etc.....we would typically not get out of the ambulance until law enforcement arrived......although I partnered with a huge guy named Verne......he would get out no matter what.....was probably my funniest and scariest partner I ever had......he would probably say the same about my driving......I did manage to make it from Park Place to the ferry in I believe 46 minutes.......

Unless they arm paramedics, which I’m 50/50 on, staging is a good thing

We don't live in a perfect world, never have and never will. Medical malpractices cases average about 12,000 a year, when cop shootings are usually around a 1000 or less, and 95% or more of those are justified and never brought to court. Do we hear CNN complaining about that? Working for an ambulance company for 8 years, I often waited for the police when we had a call that was reported violent. A dead paramedic cannot help anyone......

You wrong for posting that with no conclusion.....lol

I hate thinking emotionally in legal circumstances, but after losing my Father at 90 in 2020, I think the death penalty would of been the better option.

Ok….it has officially got silly🤦🏻‍♂️ DOG! [Hidden Content]
