    He's only ISIS in the midst of a terrorist spree, it's not like he was a black guy just walking down the street or anything. :diacanu:

    Out of curiosity, how many murders are committed in an average week throughout New York City? Is eight dead in an ISIS truck attack really that big a deal compared to the usual number of corpses the Big Apple produces?

    MSNBC still playing Obama's game.

    Headline just now says "truck driver kills 8." No mention of ISIS, or "allahu akbar" or anything that would give anyone a clue as to motive.

    What a surprise. They've learned nothing from Hillary's loss, and have no insight into why Trump won.

    smart move (if it was their intention to take him alive). Still risky, because getting shot in the leg can lead to being dead within 30 seconds if you hit the femoral artery. Happened here in Augusta few years back. Granted it's a low probability target but still a possible outcome.

    My hat's off to the cops! Too many times we used to hear about NYC cops spraying bullets in crowded areas - these cops are awesome! Now we can pick the killer's brain and find out his motivation & other details.

    How dare you! What do you want to do, introduce regulations for driving? Stifle free driving with a bunch of laws, turning a well-regulated traffic into a useless shell with traffic regulations? Perhaps even make people get a licence before they can drive on public streets?

    That would make cars completely useless. The only way a car can be helpful is if everyone, no matter if they have ever learned how to drive, can get a car immediately and put their foot to the metal straight away, no questions asked. If you don't have that, you're not a free citizen.

    Slaves are in the constitution so it seems like that isn't a very good way to judge things.

    It was actually quite legal to have slaves because they did. And the constitution said black people are only worth 3/5 a person and cannot vote. Did you go to dayton's history class?

    But it didn't guarantee the right to own slaves.

    Harvey Weinstein and Kevin spacy are making a new Peter pan movie and are looking for new talent. I think this is your big chance.

    Again, you don't ever have anything important to say. You never answered how Trump encouraged what happened in Charlottesville.

    Yeah, your game sucks ass. You are going to need to do a little better if you want me to play that game with you. Right now you are just some racist reject from trek bbs and everyone knows it. You have done nothing but love that reputation so I need not argue with you. I can just skip right to insulting you. You don't even offer up a decent argument. So suck flames little racist boy.

    You can't answer the question so you just resort to name calling? I'm just asking questions you can't answer. I can't understand how cognitive dissonance can upset some people. You just feel threatened; it's ok.

    I need to nitpick here to say the 3/5th thing was less about human value and more to keep the South from gaining disproportionate power in the House, since there were just that many slaves in areas like Georgia and Alabama. If we had counted slaves, it's likely slavery would have lasted a lot longer than it did.

    Of course Raggedy Andy is a moron, so....:shrug:
