Arson is insufficient to meet your definition of thuggery?

Based on the audio, it seems unlikely that the fire was a secondary effect. A number of LEOs were encouraging burning the place down. Didn't they used to just surround and starve out people in cases like this?

Light the house on fire and burn the guy out? It that an approved rule of engagement for LEOs? Sounds more like an angry vigilante mob.

No way. By now it is obvious to them that the testimony would not fit their agenda.

I am with you there. With all the silly shite we waste money on, we should support our troops.

LL better head east for a vacation or he is likely to get his head shot off...

I never considered this. I guess it might be prevented with a safety that mechanically blocks the slide from cycling? (Like a 1911)

I guess that pissing off an ex-LAPD officer has worked out so well they figured they might as well try it with a Navy SEAL. Is this really what this country has come to? The people that go into harms way and risk life and limb every day get crapped on by the federal bureaucracy? My pride in being American has been degenerating rapidly over the last 12 months, and it shows no signs of slowing down. Navy SEAL Who Killed Osama Bin Laden Reportedly Left Uninsured After Leaving Service The Navy SEAL Team Six member who shot and killed Osama bin Laden has opened up about the hardships of life after the mission. In an interview with Esquire titled "The Man Who Killed Osama bin Laden … Is Screwed," the former SEAL told journalist Phil Bronstein that upon leaving the service in September 2012, he lost benefits ranging from current health care to a future pension. And now he's stuck in a months-long wait for his disability claim to be considered. He had survived his last deployment, and there was a barbecue near his house to celebrate with about thirty close friends from "the community." The Redskins were on, his favorite team, and there was lots of Commando ale, brewed by a former SEAL. "I left SEALs on Friday," he said the next time I saw him. It was a little more than thirty-six months before the official retirement requirement of twenty years of service. "My health care for me and my family stopped at midnight Friday night. I asked if there was some transition from my Tricare to Blue Cross Blue Shield. They said no. You're out of the service, your coverage is over. Thanks for your sixteen years. Go fugg yourself." The Center for Investigative Reporting (CIR), for which Bronstein serves as executive chairman, notes that this SEAL's case falls in line with 820,000 instances in which veterans are mired in a backlog for disability help. "It was nearly impossible to believe when he first told me he got such a dearth of support from the U.S. government," Bronstein said in the CIR report. "Where’s the thank you?" In a Monday interview with NBC's "Today Show," Bronstein spoke with host Matt Lauer about the crux of his Esquire piece -- the post-military struggles that veterans face. Even if the SEAL had served a full two decades, Bronstein told "Today" that he would have received just $2,197 per month. A Navy chorus member with that time of service is eligible for the same package. "It's a nine-month average wait for regular vets to get their disability claim adjudicated," Bronstein said. "In this guy's case, his health care that he got, called Tricare from the military, ended the night he left. He gets no pension, none, zero." "So the guy in the Navy choir gets the exact same pension [as] the guy we're asking to be the new face of warfare around the world," Lauer remarked. "Yes, exactly," Bronstein replied.

Chicago: icy hell in the winter, hot as hell in the summer, and full of democrat retards. Best of luck to them.

Better yet, he seeks sanctuary in one of their offices and the whole place gets blown up by a drone...

First class citizens are worth a million bucks for protection I guess. For us second class citizens, this guy could rape and murder your whole family and your neighbors on both sides and not be worth a million.

A million dollars? Are they smoking dope? Where is that money coming from? I hope from the cops pension fund or private liberal donors.

I'll jump on that bandwagon.

It's nice for some LEOs to feel a little bit of fear. And they can walk about armed, unlike the rest of us poor schmucks. Something like 50 LEOs now have teams of LEOs guarding their houses 24/7 on the taxpayers dime. I wonder how long that will last if they do not catch the guy? I wonder how long I would be afforded the same courtesy? I thought that the Supreme Court decided that there was no obligation to protect individuals. Calls to mind the case of the poor guy that was kidnapped from NJ due to mistaken identity a couple years ago. I'm sure he would neither qualify to carry nor be afforded protection.

If it wasn't him, there would be another in a day or a month or a year. The libtards are always ready to pounce. People like Adam Lanza are the reason we need guns.

Sounds like it is time to start buying nerf bullets.

Say you use hollow point because there is less wall penetration and less chance of injury to bystanders. The fact that they will rip the gizzard out of a scumbag is just a beneficial side effect.

Sounds like you are about ready for political office.

Good points PDM. I hope to be there to back you up.

I saw the title of this thread and for some reason pictured mushroom clouds over Trenton and DC.

I bet Senator Menendez was in the area and they needed all the youngsters to protect their goodies...

Makes you wonder how many people have been killed by sight adjustment tools...

Was it Socrates who said something along the lines of the first step to wisdom is knowing what you don't know? I don't mind stupid people one bit. Heck, at times I'll happily include myself in their ranks. But I hate stupid people that think they are smart. In office, they are a severe threat to our freedom...

I think some people just reflect upon their life and conclude that they are too stupid and/or lazy and/or dishonest to become a productive member of society. A career in politics provides their only means of sustenance.

How does Biden breathe?
