@Chad_Hogan You have no idea what you’re talking about.
Jacob Blake, the black man shot, was not killed.
You just made a false statement by asserting that “The fact that a black guy got shot dead”
This is not a fact. This is a bold faced lie.
Here are the facts.
Poor excuse for not educating yourself before rattling off nonsense.
Now, go back to the start of this thread and read every post and read every article just like I and many of us have done. Educate yourself. Your brain will thank you.
Until that point, your opinion and spouting of “facts” hold no value to this community and I will not engage with you and your wild accusations.
He didn’t kill anyone, but he discharged his handgun at a police SWAT team who then responded hitting his girlfriend 10 times and killing her. He was charged for the murder of his girlfriend under the reasoning that his response to the raid caused his girlfriend’s death. What? He made the cops kill his girlfriend? SMH!
Anyway, he was found not guilty by reason of self-defense. However, he’s facing 30 years in prison for being a felon in possession of a handgun.
Question: Will Gaige Grosskreutz face the same “felon in possession of a handgun” charges as Mr. Coffee?
Charge the black man for illegal gun possession, but not the white man? That would be pretty racist.
Jeebus, I don’t know why people keep hammering on this (both sides). He recently had a part time job there. It wasn’t his hometown. The police explorer program he was in wasn’t in kenosha (as it seems you’re insinuating?). People are acting like the boonies outside a smallish city are the same town - maybe by a large US city you claim a burb as a hometown, but in the boonies, that basically never happens. In my hick upstate town, nobody would EVER claim the town 3 miles over as where they’re from, nevermind the city 20 miles away; there’s two exceptions - 1) to tell people who have no idea where the fuck you’re from a city they might have heard of (ie you tell someone not familiar with upstate NY you’re from Albany (although Albany area would be preferable) and not Ballston Spa (you’d never tell that to someone from Saratoga Springs though, cause they’d know you’re a poseur)) or 2) you want to be a poseur and appear cooler than you are by claiming to be from ‘the city’ (ie East Cobb Snobs saying they’re from the ATL).
CPR is usually covered in BLS btw - also btw, BLS doesn’t cover much (2.5 hour red cross course, basically covers CPR, heimlich, and auto defib).
This is standard felony murder. I illegally do something, like fire a gun at you for no reason. You shoot back and kill a bystander. I’m liable for felony murder because I committed a felony and it foreseeably led to someone being killed.
His dad, who he doesn’t live with, lives there, but it’s not terribly relevant where his dad lives. And his pretty new, part time job was there - have you ever described a home town by where you work vs where you live? so again, not seeing it.
A home town would be, you know, the town one lives in (and usually where one grew up).
Sure it is. It’s a clear connection to that place, along with where he has worked for some time, and that’s only what we know about. It’s a large town near his small town. The point is, he didn’t just stroll in there, he’s from there. If you want to insist that it’s not technically his “home town”, fine. Especially considering the misinformation to the contrary, I think it’s totally fair myself.
I honestly feel like you just like to argue for the sake of it.
I grew up in the suburbs outside of Dallas. Most people who say they’re from Dallas live in the suburbs outside of Dallas. Most of us do have a strong connection to the actual city of Dallas even if we live just outside of it.
What is defined as a home town seems to add little value in this situation when reasonable people can understand that I would say Dallas is my hometown while never living in the city of Dallas itself.
Agree. I lived in The Colony and Dallas. No one knows where The Colony is unless you are from there so we just say Dallas. I commuted 45 minutes each way every day. I miss driving my little 328i on the Tollway.
