stop that fibbing. Civilians were responsible for pinning down Charles Whitman on the texas tower and civilians killed him as well

Those weren't civilians

I can see the anti gun freaks going beserk right now in a frenzy trying to figure out how to blame it on guns. There's gotta be a whole lot of side stepping, dancing and scampering to get out of the way, right now. I bet they are livid that it was a knife. Oh boy... Just think... what I said a month or so ago is coming true. If they can't get a gun to do it then they'll use a knife, ball bat or whatever they can. A nutjob doesn't care what he uses to create chaos, he only wishes to do so. If he could use a nail gun to do the job, he would.


years ago, some Mormons visited NYC for the US Open tennis tournament. some "urban utes" decided to mug the mormons and the tennis star tried to protect either his mother or sister. one of the "utes" stabbed him to death. Anti gun supporter of minority criminals, Mayor David Dinkins immediately whined that the murder was grounds why NYCs idiotic gun laws had to be STRENGTHENED

anti gunners hate guns, stopping crime is not really relevant to them

I'd take a knife attack where everyone lives, over a gun attack that kills dozens of people.

Perspective... get some.

what' i would take is the first victim pulling out a smith and wesson and blowing the brains of the knife freak all over the wall

Charles Whitman had something in common with most modern mass-shooters: A long documented history of mental illness and heavy prescription medication use.

a police officer and a non police officer

If this guy went berserk with a blade he'd probably kill more people than Lanza

this guy is seriously good

ABC KTRK is reporting that a civilian subdued the attacker as he attempted to flee.

THAT is what baffles me.

a Crowded ****ing place and only a few people tried to stop the ****er? Whatever happened to the mob mentality where someone was clobbered with 20 ****ing raging pissed of victims and ripped apart by the hordes?

No - instead this dude managed to go fro BUILDING TO BUILDING before a few people tried to stop him.

Holy **** people are ****ing WEAK these days - WEAK I say!

A cafeteria on campus = everyone has a tray or a backpack, or a CHAIR . . . beat the **** out of the psycho. Jesus Christ Almighty.

This aint zombie land - be the ****ing hero and just double tap that ****.
 
Re: Over a dozen injured in Lone Star College campus stabbing Read more: http://www.

Not civilians

you are wrong

cops are civilians unless they are military police officers

do you know who is the highest federal law enforcement officer in a federal judicial district (like the Eastern or Southern District of NY) ?

THE PRESIDENTIALLY appointed US Attorney. He/She and his/her assistant USAs are all CIVILIANS

so are county SHERIFFS

fail on your part

Frankly, we are collectively teaching our children to be passive nowadays, so this really isn't very surprising.

Which is FUNNY AS HELL because I could have swore that violent crimes were on a RISE - we're a horridly violent country, from what I've heard. We're the **** generations, now - everyone's enraged, pissed, and attacking people . . . with all the violent loving psychos around you'd think there's be just as many waiting for their moment to legally destroy someone.

They just weren't in class that day, I guess.

I am the opposite

My son is small but tough

has had 17 surgeries due to a birth defect-its made him stronger and accepting of people with disabilities or who are different

he has a black belt in TKD

spends 6-10 hours a week in another martial art
practices defensive firearms tactics and shooting at least 200 rounds a week

we are turning into a nation of sheep lead by a bunch of scumbag coyotes and jackals

we need some sheepdogs who won't be pushed around by the varmints

I've tried explaining that according to the 4th Geneva Convention, you are either Military, a Combatant, or a Civilian.
 
Re: Over a dozen injured in Lone Star College campus stabbing Read more: http://www.

You're quoting the colloquial sense of the word, which I've already accounted for...

According to the 4th Geneva Convention, you are either a member of a country's military, or you are a Combatant posing as a civilian, or you are a civilian. Armed police are not members of a country's military. Police units are not sent to other countries to conduct war for the United States. US Police units do not operate under Title 32 or Title 10 United States Code. Therefor under international law police are Civilians.

I was formally briefed on what is and is not a "civilian" by the US Army in preparation for deployment, during deployment, and in cretin briefs for domestic civil emergencies, as it relates to warfare, detainment, and treatment of EPWs. A link to TheFeeDictionary.com, the least credible of all dictionaries in the world, does not counter that.

ask any US attorney, Assistant United States Attorney or FBI special agent and all of them will tell you that they are CIVILIANS. the pay schedule is a civilian pay scale as well. the retirement system "FERS" is the same as other CIVILIAN employees.
 
Re: Over a dozen injured in Lone Star College campus stabbing Read more: http://www.

We had better get rid of all these guns.

i know not only have guns killed people without any aid or human interaction,now they have forced people to stab eachother.

ohhh the humanity when will we ever learn that people dont kill people guns kill people,unless its with non guns then people kill people!!!!!!!

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

Since 'civilians' and public safety are being discussed it should be noted that the stabber was ultimately subdued by civilians...the students. Come to think of it, Jared Loughner was also subdued by civilians so for that one guy who keeps on arguing that civilians never stopped a mass shooter...guess what!

I was opposite as well, teaching my sons to always stand up for themselves, and stand up for decency. I told them never to start a fight, but to sure as hell fight back against aggression.
 
Re: Over a dozen injured in Lone Star College campus stabbing Read more: http://www.

the only definition that matters is federal law

that is wrong

are US attorneys and the FBI agents who ANSWER TO THEM civilians? Yes they are

Wrong

You don't get to decide what words mean

I used the word as it is defined, not by the Geneva Conventions, but by americans

Besides, mass murderers don't follow the Geneva Conventions

Wrong

well you pretend you do and you are wrong. and we have a member of the military and someone who was once a civilian prosecutor (me) saying you are wrong. cite the federal code

do you think the attorney general of the USA is a CIVILIAN governmental employee

Yes or NO

That's just all the nuts popping off, not people reacting appropriately to aggression.
