You mean the previous arrests that occurred under Republican District Attorney Andrew Murray who was the top prosecuter in Charlotte? Those arrests?

I can confidently say that was a fucking stupid thing to say.

There is no place in our society for political violence. I said it when a gunman assassinated a Minnesota State rep and I will say it now.

Isn't this an example that would support the position of those arguing for restricted magazine sizes and weapon types? Presumably she had a pistol without an extended magazine. It sounds like it was the existence of the weapon itself, not the type of weapon that caused a good outcome.

I was just playing some auto-tune the news episodes for my tween kids a couple of weeks ago. They actually thought it was some funny stuff. Rare dad pop culture reference success!

Funny how this doesn't stop Republicans from trying to legislate ourselves to 100% security in almost every other arena of our lives these days...

Stalin and Hitler also liked purging Generals who gave them information they didn't like. Good work.

1. I don't know that we have seen stats that actually show crime is down. 2. From what I have read, they are not patrolling the areas of town where a disproportionately higher number of crimes occur 3. Correlation =/= causation

What do these arguments have to do with Trump taking over law enforcement in DC?

Only a matter of time before something like this happened. MRAP t-bones SUV in DC neighborhood. Fortunately, no one was killed...

Hang in there. My wife and I have endured struggles that, at the time, I thought would certainly end things and we got through them. I am pulling for you. Take care.
