Thanks to California!

Your gun laws appear to have saved four people in yet another waste of human life.

Maybe we need to look at fixing some real issues in the inner cities?

But that wouldn't make us feel good.

You hear the cop in the video...
To him the shooting wasn't really that much of a problem but the fact that they came out at 6 pm to do this kind of thing...now that's a little out of line.
Please guys ...can we keep our shootings from the hours of 10 pm and say 4am....

[DougH 270]

That is because at night the punks are normally shooting mostly other punks.

I know, I get it...his attitude just really showed of a city more or less out of control and how numb they've become to it.
I guess if it's more or less open season after a certain hour you wouldn't want to have to work overtime and come home after the witching hour.

Oakland is pretty disfunctional, with both the police force and the school system at risk of being taken over by a higher (state or fed) authority because of utter failures in management.

Trust me, I know all about its dysfunction.
I grew up north of redding Ca.
I pick up and deliver freight in Oakland all the time.
I don't go to bed west of Sacramento when I'm in the Bay Area.

[Boomerdog 0]

Well...what do you propose?

[swisschris62 0]

A) sharper knives
B) more guns
C) after school programs and a night time basketball league

[Boomerdog 0]

I like A & B. How choice C is going to solve this problem is a mystery to me. Sorry you're still in California, I got out of there in '98. Grew up in North Sacramento so I know the trouble of what you speak and the areas to avoid. But the birth certificate says Virginia so I am a Son of Virginia (I've also been called a Son of B.... but that's another argument). Could you do me a favor? Stay in California please. Too too many Californians are coming out here and living in Virginia, particularly Northern Virginia and bringing their kooky politics with them. Many don't like our gun laws but we have a low violent crime rate here compared to Maryland and the District of Columbia because a lot of people here like to pack heat and protect themselves. More guns les crime! Now we got this dirtbag McAullife who's about to become our governor and probably got elected with the help of ex-Californians. If McAuliffe thinks he's going to disarm Virginians, he's gonna get the surprise of his life,

[swisschris62 0]

I'm with you on choice a and b. C was me being stupid.
Fear not, I'm not moving to virginia.
I'll either stay in n. Ca or head to n.m. or west Texas.
Btw...I'm all for guns and people being able to protect themselves.
Your not under any sort of dillusion that because I'm from Ca. I would opt to dial 911 first ...I hope.

McAuliff is a dirtbag, but he got elected with the help of Ken Cuccinelli. If the Republicans would have nominated a non-extremist, and a sane Lt. Governor candidate, they probably would have won.

What is a non-extremist?

Someone who does not agree with you at the other end of the political spectrum?

What is a non-extremist?

Do you really think Cuccinelli was a moderate?

I think the reason is more of that rich liberal supporting the libertarian who pulled off enough votes to give McAullife the win

As far as extemeist?

I think Sarvis pulled as many votes off the D as he did the R. I voted for him, and there's no way I was going to vote for Cuccinelli.

Dude, I've lived in Virginia my whole life. I don't need to watch the national news to know all about Cuccinelli. Maybe you should study up.

I studied up just fine

Cuccinelli is no extremeist
And if the votes went to him instead of the bogus canidate, he would have won

Well, as an example, sending an unsolicited letter to state schools saying that they can discriminate against gays if they want is pretty extreme to me.

Sure, but that's assuming that all Sarvis voters would have voted for Cuccinelli. That's simply not true.

Okay, I'll answer your question if you'll answer mine.

Two examples that made me vote as I did: a non-extremist would not be in favor of making all abortions illegal, a non-extremist wouldn't be in favor of discrimination against gays in state employment.

Your turn. Was Cuccinelli a moderate?

Obviously not. So what? Cucinnelli failed to appeal to the plurality of voters. That's nobody's fault but his own.

Lefties fear they can not win an honest vote

He who bank rolled the other canidate was a McAullife supporter

Why would he do this?

I love the mental gymastics the extreme right has to go through to convince themselves that their losses are someone else's fault.

This bundler you refer to happened to be the largest doner to a PAC, and that PAC was the largest single donor to Sarvis's campaign. Sounds fishy, right? Sure, until you realize that the PAC was a libertarian PAC, the bundler regularly gives to both libertarian and Democratic campaigns, and the grand total this fishy PAC donated to Sarvis was $10,000.

Yeah, it makes perfect sense that it was that single $10,000 donation that defeated Cuccinelli. By the way, Cuccinelli raised $18 million.
