Lizard Squad != GOP... or do you have additional information?

Care to cite a single case where that 'twas the sole provocation and the related result?

You are forgetting the implications of tort law.

Even if a physical attack is very unlikely, the costs of the lawsuits which would occurs afterwards would make proceeding a rather risky thing either way.

Don't believe me? The lawsuit against the theater which didn't prevent the Aurora theater shooting continues: http://deadline.com/2014/08/ci...

Because a free market in labour is as important as a free market in goods.

Do away with the welfare state and fewer people will have a problem with unchecked immigration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

On the one side we have the entrenched and largely ubiquitous gasoline infrastructure trying to keep electricity from becoming the dominant (good luck)... the recent upstart of hydrogen which requires you to rather carefully plan your commute... and LNG sitting there in the corner saying "Don't forget about me guys!"

It's like Verizon vs ATT on pay-per-view side and Sprint in it's own ring waiting for T-Mobile to arrive on PBS.

It's pretty easy to guess which is going to get the bigger numbers in terms of revenue.

I said "not suddenly reach"... the victim in this turned rather quickly and reached.

I'm not excusing the shooting, I just am recognizing how the actions could be misconstrued by an officer... who as your article points out has been (rightly) fired & charged).

So your solution to lawful violence is... lawless violence?

I'm sorry, but assaulting a cop tends not to be a good way to avoid getting shot... just as Michael Brown.

Resisting arrest... even over the allegation of selling untaxed cigarettes is not a good way to avoid being held on the with multiple bodies attempting to restrain you... just ask Eric Garner.

Waving and aiming what looks like a real gun around in a park, then reaching for your waist when police come to the scene is not going to getting shot... just ask Tamir Rice.

Now, when the cop sticks his hands inside of the vehicle and gets it caught in the steering wheel, and fearing that the driver is going to drive away shoots the driver... that's a great way to get yourself charged with murder... just ask Richard Combs.

Why do you assume that the job of a solider or cop is to die?

Patton would also disagree:“The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.”

Correct, which is why it is generally good to wait for the officer to request such documents, and not suddenly reach for the glove box.

Even with a physical drivers license, they always try to grab your entire wallet before you can pull out the driver license from it.

Always? I've never had that experience, they have always waited for me to collect and hand over the requested items... granted I've not been pulled over that many times.

If true, I'd suggest finding a lawyer filing a report (and perhaps a lawsuit) about such incidences as their unwarranted entry into your vehicle would constitute trespass, taking your wallet from you would be theft, and any examination of the inside contents that are not in clear view without your permission would be an unlawful search (assuming there are no other circumstances that warranted such actions).

Or a Windows Phone fan... both of which have had them for years.

Only now with the iPhone 6 is Apple finally getting on board the NFC party train.

If freed... wouldn't a stolen bit of food here or there (as presumably it wouldn't be able to grow or buy it's own) or some public defecation get it arrested? If it dared resist arrest might get some additional charges of assault on a police officer and result in some jail time?

So... you don't see any chance that the grand jury reached their decision without KKK involvement? What about aliens? or the Illuminati? Maybe the Trilateral Commission?

I think Occam's razor is more likely.

Correct, though career choice is also a major factor.

Back in college I'd noticed that my Computer Science program was probably 90% male... while the Elementary Education program was probably 90% female. While many will claim that teachers should be paid more, I don't hear many arguing they should be paid as well as your average developer.

Damn you for using logic and facts.

The powers that be like to tout how background checks have prevented some untold number of bad guys from getting guns... often left out is the woefully small # of prosecutions of said people for their illegal attempts to acquire a firearm.

When the penalty on the books is rarely enforced, it quite easy to look for other ways to do what you want to do and know that you probably aren't going to get caught... a problem that has existed in the voting world for years: http://www.washingtonpost.com/...
