I need to add something. think IMHO that its pretty fucking lame to post something like calling a man killing the offspring or other family members of ones you think did you wrong a hero, which you KNOW is gonna cause some controversy and then do nothing but reply with crayon marked pictures and text. Not only that let you Killora run the gauntlet.

You know I disagree with the "heroic" nature of this guy you and picture boy believe in. Do I think its commendable him facing the LAPD and trying to out the wrong do'ers. Your damn right I do. I will admit I hope i would have the balls to do the same. Do I think killing of innocent people is right.. again... no. We all learned or should have two wrongs do not make a right. Let me tell you something. When I was in the service we received pictures from a damage report. We bombed a house housing multiple Al queda. These men were firing at our men. We did a show of force and they did not stop firing. Next they met their 72 virgins via 4 2000 lb JDAMs one at each corner of the building . All were dead with like I said.. pictures to prove it. Had that been innocent Iraqi's I would have felt like shit. I would also understand how others disagree with the means of what we were doing. If he was just killing the corrupt ESPECIALLY with proof. Well... now TDog would have his real life comic book hero. BUT HE IS NOT. You Killora keep saying we are refusing to listen. If you have not noticed we are listening to your post and not TDog pictures. I just like Swanny respects your opinion whether or not he or I think its BS. But do the same for us. We all have the same story right now.

Guy thinks he was done wrong
Guy writes letter
Guy kills daughter, fiancee and cop (all of which from what we know had nothing to do with his self proclaimed wrong doing)
Cops shoot wrong truck.
Guy still on the run trying to find a phone to call Charlie Sheen and fuck some hookers. :D

Again your "hero" is a muderer of INNOCENT people. Those two things do not go together.

Actually, I'm all done here. Horses, water and drinking and all that.

I believe, as I said earlier, that one day you'll realize who you put on the line so casually in your own interpretation of this event. Maybe not, but my guess is you will.

Suffice it to say your opinion, wherever you got it, doesn't hold water, to me.

Some of the best decisions I made in my entire life were when I listened to my heart instead of some guy on the internet.

I hope that your path brings you peace and ultimately, satisfaction with who you are. If you're there already, then I congratulate you on your progress.

I respect your opinions, and i can see where you come from. I'm not trying to force my opinion onto anyone. If you feel that way i apologize. I'm simply trying to at least make you understand where i'm coming from, not necessarily fully agree with me. I would think me agreeing with parts of both sides of the argument would be sufficient evidence to prove i actually see where you're coming from.

Also, i didn't mean you were refusing to listen in the same sense you think i mean, i was referring to the fact that words are words regardless of how they're placed or conveyed. And should be treated as such, and not be dismissed because they are conveyed in a way you don't like.

But i digress.

Not to rehash this but I think in a world news thread it would be good to remember a man who served his country very well. Both during his active duty and after. Chris Kyle known as the "Devil of Ramadi" was laid to rest today after being killed along with a friend by a fellow military member whom he was trying to help with PTSD.

To me what this man (Chris Kyle) did made him more of a "hero" not only because what he did while in service but what he did when he got out. All, that this man did was to help save the lives of fellow brothers in arms. Whether by taking the lives of those trying to kill his fellow men and women in uniform or trying to aid in recovery of those hurt whether physically or mentally in combat.

I just hope his memory last longer and is talked about more than the other guy.

RIP

Or you could just drop the topic... This thread is here for everyone to discuss about World News, we should all respect each others opinions even if we think they are wrong, remember they are just that, opinions, they can change as fast as the wind. Just remember to follow the rules guys and above all be respectful.

viewtopic.php?f=9&t=2382

Though I agree we should stop beating the dead horse which is Chris Dorner, we all have voiced our opinions on the matter and enough general information is here for anyone who isn't privy to watching the news to conclude their own decision on the matter.

The news we should be talking about is the fact that North Korea went through with their test. If everyone would be kind to switch gears that would be lovely. Hopefully this topic gains as much enthusiasm as the last topic!

Time to pick your poison!! :D

I bought his book when it first came out and read it all that night. I didn't believe it at first when they said he was killed on the news. I was completely shocked that something that horrible happened to him and his friend at a range like that. He was the last person in the world I thought would be killed like that.

And by discuss you mean post pictures .. right??? The only people discussing anything happened to be everyone but yourself. Now that the heat is off and most people have bailed and/or we decide to change subjects you decide its time to let people know they need to respect one another???? How "respectful" was it you let another guy do all the talking for a comment you made? At least Killora could "RESPECTFULLY" carry on a conversation. Here let me give you something you will understand because I am done too.

>North Korea conducted its third nuclear test on Tuesday in defiance of existing U.N. resolutions, drawing condemnation from around the world, including from its only major ally, China, which summoned the North Korean ambassador to protest.

>China, which has shown signs of increasing exasperation with the recent bellicose tone of its neighbor, summoned the North Korean ambassador in Beijing and protested sternly, the Foreign Ministry said.
>Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi said China was "strongly dissatisfied and resolutely opposed" to the test and urged North Korea to "stop any rhetoric or acts that could worsen situations and return to the right course of dialogue and consultation as soon as possible".
>Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov urged North Korea to abandon its nuclear arms program and return to talks. NATO condemned the test as an "irresponsible act" that posed a grave threat to world peace.

At the risk of sounding slightly creepy, I just read over the discussions that happen in this thread, but I don't actually contribute much to the discussions themselves, as I'm not one to vividly pay attention to the news, so I know only vaguely of what you guys are on about. But I simply have to post to say that Nighty's picture really cracked me up.

Oh. You mean like this?:

"Jack you probably shouldn't post here anymore if your gona start spouting off uninformed claims because you refuse to do any research. I found this in 5 minutes buddy, it's not hard. Maybe next time do a little research before you start claiming you know something when really you dont, thanks."

I love this story. I just wish I can have this kind of fun again....


‎11 YR OLD SHOOTS ILLEGALS thanks FOX NEWS for reporting it.BUTTE , MONTANAShotgun preteen vs. Illegal alien Home Invaders...Two illegal aliens, Ralphel Resinde...z, 23, and Enrico Garza, 26, probably believed they would easily overpower home-alone 11-year-old Patricia Harrington after her father had left their two-story home. It seems the two crooks never learned two things: they were in Montana and Patricia had been a clay-shooting champion since she was nine.Patricia was in her upstairs room when the two men broke through the front door of the house. She quickly ran to her father's room and grabbed his 12-gauge Mossberg 500 shotgun. Resindez was the first to get up to the second floor only to be the first to catch a near point blank blast of buckshot from the 11-year-old's knee-crouch aim. He suffered fatal wounds to his abdomen and genitals.When Garza ran to the foot of the stairs, he took a blast to the left shoulder and staggered out into the ...street where he bled to death before medical help could arrive. It was found out later that Resindez was armed with a stolen 45-caliber handgun he took from another home invasion robbery. That victim, 50-year-old David 0'Burien, was not so lucky. He died from stab wounds to the chest.Ever wonder why good stuff never makes NBC, CBS, PBS, MSNBC, CNN, or ABC news........? An 11 year old girl, properly trained, defended her home, and herself......against two murderous, illegal immigrants.......and she wins. She is still alive. Now THAT is Gun Control!Thought for the day.... Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist.'I like this kind of e-mail! American citizens defending themselves and their homes.BEING A TRUE AMERICAN


She needs a medal.

MEMO:
Tdog (aka Killora) posts are starting to resemble Dorners characteristics.
May need intervention, to inculde contact with opposite sex, beer,
adult supervision when picking pillow cases, knowning the full facts before engaging cake hole.
Oh, and to stop making videos.
