villaglint Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 He wouldn't have been able to shoot them if the cops were armed too. Oh wait... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Things are really getting messed up of late. It's like you hear about something like this every week. The past month has just been horrific. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The past month has just been horrific. It's more common for there to be 3+ people killed in a single shooting on any specific day in the US than for it to not happen. It's been that way for years. America is **** up. Edited July 17, 2016 by Davkaus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted July 17, 2016 Moderator Share Posted July 17, 2016 This might be just me and erm y'know, feel free to disagree and everything but...do you think it might be partly down to your gun laws maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maqroll Posted July 17, 2016 Author Share Posted July 17, 2016 This is the madness of America right now- Water guns have been banned from the area around the Republican convention in Cleveland, but REAL guns are allowed! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if the Donald gets shot and killed he's not likely to be worried about it but if water gets near that barnet... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AIUI, guns won't be allowed inside the arena itself, but are legal to carry outside the arena. This seems to be fairly standard. I note that guns are not allowed inside the building during CPAC (the big Republican policy get-together) either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted July 19, 2016 Moderator Share Posted July 19, 2016 Not a good day for the Trump campaign..... I really hope it was a set up by a speech writer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 (edited) It got people talking about something other than Trump being the nominee & the divisions within the party. Edited July 19, 2016 by CarewsEyebrowDesigner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Surely somebody snuck in and changed the script on the teleprompter or something? How does this even happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted July 19, 2016 Author Share Posted July 19, 2016 It looks like internal sabotage to me, but still, total incompetence that it was allowed to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villakram Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 this criticism is complete crap... that speech was nothing but a bunch of americanism 101 platitudes, and to get criticized for it is ridiculous. What happens when the next candidate talks about a shining light on a hill... plagiarism? Trump is a muppet, but this amounts to a blinkered attack and will only feed those who support him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted July 20, 2016 Author Share Posted July 20, 2016 Plagiarism is probably a step too far, because she's not a journalist. But the speech was clearly pinched. ATEOTD, it's not a particularly big story though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
