Re: Over a dozen injured in Lone Star College campus stabbing Read more: http://www.

you do know England has a higher rate of violent crime and comparing apples and oranges is even more ignorant then what i was replying to.


Do you know that the English definition of "violent crime" is not the same as the one used by the FBI in gathering data on crimes in the US?

Do you know that the murder rate in England, counting all means of death, is less than a third of the US's?

2009/2010
in England there were 871,000 "crimes against the person", that is crimes included in their Assaults category - less than half actually resulted in injury to the victim.
Among the charges under the definitions used by the Brits, there were crimes such as; "simple assault without injury", " verbal harassment", “possession of an article with a blade or point,” and causing “public fear, alarm, or distress.”


Comparing apples and oranges is even more ignorant when one doesn't know the subject very well.

did you know your response to me is meaningless in context
 
Re: Over a dozen injured in Lone Star College campus stabbing Read more: http://www.

nobody can claim a win wasting time in an exchange with you.

you initially pointed out how the death rate in England is much lower for police.

When I pointed out how much higher the violent crime rate was, you said England is too small, so any comparisons of rates are ineffective.

Then it was your misunderstanding of my statement is the problem. I was referring specifically to the number of police deaths. I made the mistake of using raw numbers. In that regard, the raw numbers do not accurately give a proper representation due to the difference in population. I was conceding to this fact and thus pointed out the flaw in my own post.

Addressing the number of violent crimes has absolutely nothing to do with the number of dead police officers. You failed at addressing a conceded point. Wow.
 
Re: Over a dozen injured in Lone Star College campus stabbing Read more: http://www.

or in other words - "I will continue to deny reality"

what the f are you talking about?

the person I was in an exchange with admitted his/her mistake.

what's your excuse?

The guy it turns out is a genuine nut case. Dreamed of killing folks long before yesterday. Love stuffed animals(what 21 yr. old male in college doesn't?) He used a box cutter and it broke off in a womans cheek bone I believe Wen he was capruted he had a smirk on his face and one student said he carried that smirk while he was cutting on people. He said the guy stared right at him but was tackeled before he did anything else and his cutter was broke.
It is good this happened and hopefully the two in critical condition will pull through. This shows that all the antigun folks that it is "insanity" not weapons that kill. I can kill with my hands if I am crazy. I can twist, choke, drown, beat, set fire to, trample a person to death and how will you "outlaw" those acts???

Just imagine what might have happened if that maniac was a gun nut. How many would have died? 10, 20 more?

I thought Texans didn't like liberal ideas like that. Too bad.

Unfortunately, all state and local governments have been infiltrated by out of control Liberalistas.
 
Re: Over a dozen injured in Lone Star College campus stabbing Read more: http://www.

Just because some black people happen to attend the college doesn't mean that the college teaches pimping. And just because someone is black doesn't mean that his goal in life is to be a pimp. As for Lone Star College itself, they are a decent career school for learning a "gray collar" trade. The company I work for has hired people from there, and they have turned out to be exemplary employees.

On the other hand, maybe you are right, and Virginia Tech teaches people how to make sushi while giving karate kicks to evil overlords from Hong Kong.

BTW, the knife wielder at Lone Star Collge was white.

Sorry to come down on you so hard, but your post was not only over the top where it comes to racial stereotyping and prejudice, but it was also quite dumb.

So, only black folks live in ghettos, pimp and smoke crack?
 
Re: Over a dozen injured in Lone Star College campus stabbing Read more: http://www.

According to the guy I corrected, they do.

According to YOU, they do. The guy you corrected didn't say anything about black folks. You did. Speaks volumes.

His remarks were racist as hell. I can also spot a troll a mile away, so onto my ignore list you go. Troll someone else.

No, your comments were far more racist as his. You're the one that automatically assumed he was talking about black folks, because he was said, "pimp, ghetto, crack". You're basically saying that only black folks are pimps, live in ghettos and smoke crack.

Nice race deck of race cards ya got there. ;)

I would argue that the person who posted the comment under attack is a racist and deliberately used words that many would interpret as being racist. You are now attempting to defend the poster that because there are people of other ethnicities who do live in ghettos, work as pimps and smoke crack, the dog whistle words should not be interpreted as they are commonly understood.

If history has taught us one thing, racists are quite adept at denying their racism when confronted personally but not so good at concealing their true feelings when acting anonymously or in situations where they think others present agree with them.

I've never understood why somebody would pretend to be black on the internet. It just feels kind of stupid to troll yourself while pretending you're fooling anybody. Oh well.

Just because I like KFC doesn't mean I'm pretending to be black. How racist.

Because you ONLY associate those words with black folks.

Why do you claim that I'm pretending to be black?

Fenton's post #3 is what you're all raging about. Fenton dropped that bomb and left. Epic troll skillz indeed.

Ooh, I touched a nerve.

If he had a gun, there'd be a greater chance that there would be fatalities

Right, and less of a chance that the attacker would have been tackled like he was.
 
Re: Over a dozen injured in Lone Star College campus stabbing Read more: http://www.

No mass shooter has ever been stopped by a civilian with a gun.

By which you mean to point out that people have been stopped before they became mass-shooters by civilians with guns :). No doubt.

not really.

he did make an assumption that the knifings were gang related, but he in no way insinuated that gangs means blacks


you did that. the only thread thing involving race was yours. he only associated crime with gangs. you associated gangs with blacks.

More like violating the forum rules, but I know it's a waste of time to report it.

Which rule? :) Hate speech? Also, who is to say I was referring to you? You're far too sensitive for the kind of commentary you've made on this thread.
