Going postal now legal in Florida.
No, no, and no. If your are president you can totally murder and it is not a crime unless you are impeached and convicted - heard from a source that is considered reliable in Florida.
I dunno, some people are claiming to have "total immunity." Big people, important people. Some tell me the most important.
Isn't Florida a stand your ground state?
"I'm in danger..."
Slow down there, George Zimmerman.
Those skittles and hoodie were so much more dangerous than any gun.
Still don't get how he got off in that case
Trayvon Martin was black and it's Florida. I think it's pretty much that simple.
And you don't see any problem with that, even though he did kill an innocent and unarmed person?
Yes and a person throwing a paper ball at you is technically attacking you too, you wanna just shoot everyone? Jesus. Lethal force should not your only option when you're going out looking for trouble. That's why they don't just give cops guns and say "shoot em if they don't listen."
I see. So OJ Simpson also did not murder his ex-wife and her boyfriend, correct?
So OJ didn't kill his ex-wife and her husband. You believe that, correct?
I see. So you believe court decisions always determines truth.
In that case, evolution is false. Scopes lost his case and was fined $100 for teaching evolution.
I see, so only murder trials determine what is or is not true.
I see, so murder cases determine fact unless they are a complete farce.
How do we know whether it was fact or a farce? What are the rules here?
I am? Weird, because I'm pretty sure I said 'murder cases' in my previous comment. Let me check.
Yep, I said 'murder cases.'
Was Scopes tried for murder and I missed that part in the history books?
Because it's either that or in your zeal to berate me, you didn't actually read the comment.
You realize that means he's found innocent by a bunch of people who think like him. That doesn't make his logic and people's acceptance of it ok. Hell back in the day a jury of peers would find a slave guilty for running away.
Yes, if kid runs up and knocks your drink out of your hand, kill that fool! Fight back!
Are these other common everyday items purpose built for killing someone?
Killing multiple someones from across the room...?
Lmao, what were guns invented for if not to kill things? And which everyday object in the post office was equally invented to kill people?
Wrong.
It was your second paragraph that got you the downvotes. And/or missing the joke
Downvotes aren't necessarily disagreements. Sometimes they're just about helping other people invest their time better.
It's a joke.
