Anaheim police in riot gear are guarding a city council meeting. Police shot and killed 2 suspects over the weekend and residents are protesting. -- (link) - MojaveMeg Jul 24, 19:52 10
- After reading the article. Both were known Gang Members. I side with the cops. -- nm - Bacon, Member of Vampirates On Ice Jul 24, 19:58 7
  - Yikes, that Diaz shooting sounds a little hinky. Not the 2nd one, though. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jul 24, 20:02
  - Because being a known gang member obviously gets you the automatic death penalty. -- nm - ty97 Jul 24, 20:02 5
    - No, because being a known Gang Member puts your life at a greater risk than a law biding citizen. From rival gangs, law enforcement not knowing if - Bacon, Member of Vampirates On Ice Jul 24, 20:04 4
      - And sometimes the police are the gang. -- nm - ty97 Jul 24, 20:07 3
        
        Sometimes they are. Count the number of cops in prison compared to the number of known gang members in prison. It ain't even in the same Universe. - Bacon, Member of Vampirates On Ice Jul 24, 20:09 2
        
        You continue to assume that police office and criminal are mutual exclusive. - ty97 Jul 24, 20:12

*observes the FRC/boy scouts post on facebook* ... I guess they must be serious. Way to double down. Ick. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 24, 19:46 8
- Is that the one Jim posted on? There were some really sad comments on that thread. - Bacon, Member of Vampirates On Ice Jul 24, 19:49 7
  - Yeah, exactly. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 24, 19:50 6
    - For Jim to post what he did on that thread made me super proud. He is part of that crowd and he is standing up for whats right in his heart - Bacon, Member of Vampirates On Ice Jul 24, 19:54

      - Hmm. I'm not sure if it's possible to link easily. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 24, 19:52 3

I'm not sure why, but the pictures of Christian Bale and his wife visiting the victims' memorial in CO really got to me. - kelly Jul 24, 19:29 13

  - Gary Oldman Syndrome. (He's a professional! :) ) -- nm - Beryllium Jul 24, 19:40
- he's never ever seemd a like a photo op guy to me -- nm - Remlik Jul 24, 19:34 1
  - You can tell his wife has been crying on that picture you just posted -- nm - Bacon, Member of Vampirates On Ice Jul 24, 19:37
- He doesn't seem like the publicity for publicity's sake photo-op kind of guy. - Cuzzin Todd Jul 24, 19:32 6
  - I guess I should rephrase. What I meant was, he showed up because people told him it would look good, not because he really wanted to for himself. -- nm - kelly Jul 24, 19:40 5
    - Again, if he showed up every time someone told him "it will look good", we'd have seen a lot more pics of him doing this in the past. - Dr.Vermin Jul 24, 19:45 3
      - Yeah, I'm not accusing...just wondering/hoping. - kelly Jul 24, 19:47 2
        
        The cool part is this though. No matter if it's fake or genuine. You absolutely know it was a positive and uplifting experience for the victims. - Bacon, Member of Vampirates On Ice Jul 24, 19:50 1
        
        Absolutely. -- nm - kelly Jul 24, 19:54

- I always think the same wan. It sucks that we even need to question it. - Bacon, Member of Vampirates On Ice Jul 24, 19:32
- yah, it's moving. I really think he wanted to do it. -- nm - b. Jul 24, 19:31
A heads up. Tomorrow at 11:30 AM eastern Canada plays Japan in Oympic Women's Soccer. I'm thinking the World Cup champions are going to kick our ass - Under the Influence Jul 24, 19:22 6

  - Oops I mean Canada vs Japan in Olympic Beach Volleyball. :) -- nm - Under the Influence Jul 24, 19:30 4
    - Ding Ding Ding we have a winner -- nm - Bacon, Member of Vampirates On Ice Jul 24, 19:31 3

        There was just a panicky segment on TSN about how it might be too rainy for them to wear the tiny outfits. -- nm - Reagen Jul 24, 20:04 1

  - I had three beers already... can't risk more if I want to go to work tomorrow. ;) -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jul 24, 19:31 1
    - Uhh Huh! I'm thinking you need a beer. You wouldn't want me drinking alone would you? - Under the Influence Jul 24, 19:35
