Capitol Hill Blue Forums Political Issues Guns I’ll kill anybody that steps on my property

I think you have a very selective memory, numan. Both the CBC and Vancouver Sun helpfully publish murder maps that might help jog your memory. I can provide links if you like. Or perhaps it has more to do with the fact that Canadian news outlets aren't allowed to publish details of trials in progress? I remember a very similar story of a Canadian "mountain man" shooting a couple of hikers that strayed into his compound. I'll find that link if you need me to.

Random acts of violence are universal, and mean bastards shoot neighbors the world over. It is tragic, but awareness of these incidents has more to do with the tabloid press exploiting the tragedy to push pulp.

How about the sweet natured and kindly Robert Pickton?

I think both the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany to name only two -- had a similar program of reporting their "impressions" of their neighbors, PIA.

Yeah but we're only talking about the armed ones.
I believe the central component of the two collectives you referenced is an unarmed citizenry.

I am not advocating disarming the entire citizenry, I simply ask that "neighborhood crazies" be taken a little more seriously than they have been to date. Seems like something in the water, or in the air, or ON THE AIR, might be getting record numbers of them stirred up lately.

Any idea what that might be, Iss?

Anyone reading your posts would have classify you as one of those crazies. Or is the what you intended? I would sincerely think about moving if you ever arrived in my zip code. I had to move away from Arizona because they all sound just like you. What kind of person did you become that would give you that aura of anger?

I use to put Hos in that category but he has shown signs of integrity in the last 15 years. In my world, only people who lack knowing right over wrong need to make such ridiculous statements. Oh, yes, there is no doubt that you mean exactly what you threaten. I would post a sign in your front yard explaining your basic hatred of anyone not on your acceptance list. Would "White Supremacy" fit the list? Maybe the word "wealthy" should be added to the list too.

It saddens me to think you might be breeding children just like you. Put your fences us and then plug them in. Limbaugh can show you how to do it.

Sandy, what in the world did Jeff say that would make you reply with such a hateful statement?

"murder maps"...."Robert Pickton"....yadda...yadda...yadda

Well, I see that the red herrings are being furiously dragged hither-and-yon this morning!
The subject of the thread is someone being murdered for stepping onto private property...not all this other stuff you have hauled in !!

I repeat : I personally know of no such cases here in Canada, though I would not be surprised if there were a few isolated cases.

I have never, never seen those rude, aggressive signs which are so common in the USA :

KEEP OUT! TRESPASSERS WILL BE SHOT!

I have seen signs outside the cities which say PRIVATE PROPERTY or even KEEP OUT!, but these are understood to be merely protection for property owners so that if you mess up their property you cannot plead you were ignorant that it was private property.

TRESPASSERS WILL BE SHOT! is just inconceivable in Canada. For one thing, you would be charged with homicide and sent to prison if you shot someone for no other reason than that they were trespassing!

In fact, one of the things that made me admire Canadians so much, and that exemplifies their good sense, and is so unlike the lesser breed south of their border, is that, in out of the way places, where you might think a dirt road is on public land, a private road merely has a discrete sign : "Private residence."
Canadians have the sense to know that they need nothing stronger. For obviously, that is quite enough to deter those who can be detered by signs; and nothing, no matter how strong, will deter those who are ill-bred.

Violent, insane people exist the entire world over, but you apologists for American violence always, to cover the nakedness of your shame, avoid dealing with the reality of statistics. The United States is just plain so much more violent than many other places.

I think statistics are, indeed, quite flexible, numan. One of the fudge factors one should be aware of concerning any issue of interest to those who have difficulty in controlling their inner fascist is the attaching of the caveat, "among developed countries". The sense of societal superiority over 'less' developed countries that is implied by its use is remarkable only in its unreserved acceptance by so many who otherwise chirp on about the benefits of mulitculturalism and other forms of social control and manipulation. I think this to be not entirely surprising, given progressivism's historic attraction to a sense of genetic superiority.

Thank you for giving us the standard ploy for avoiding statistics.

We all know that statistics lie -- except, of course, when they don't. · ·
