Car plows through protesters during Ferguson rally in south Minneapolis [W:349]

Ahhh... so to you this is a political game? No wonder you are so out of your depth.

I already said earlier that I think this issue has become insanely partisan for no issue. It's crazy. I can tell you who 90% of people will side with on every issue because of their usual political affiliations.
 
Wow, late to the party. Go figure, another republican is siding with the maniac that plowed through a crowd of people.

Anyway, yeah, according to the definition of the phrase, "run over", this fits the specs. You can go back and find the post if you want.

Just FYI, if you have a problem with lizzie, the problem is you.

Facts mean absolutely nothing to some people. Some of the comments in this thread are the latest example of this.
 
What does this have to do with court? You guys are trying to argue non-legal terms. They are entirely separate. There appear to be two separate issues:

1) You, lizzy, and the other guy think that the dictionary definition of run over is incorrect.
2) You guys also think that this man shouldn't be charged (I guess, I'm not really sure what you guys are arguing there).

No. I am saying that many of the things you are arguing, but most specifically his intent (you say it was on purpose) is something that you can't prove.

The dictionary term is argumentative as it is open to interpretation as well...
 
Am I arguing with real people here?
This is what happens when you use emotive language on a debate site filled with analytical personalities.

Using emotive language is a logical fallacy. As long as you insist on being irrational by using emotive language, this is going to happen wherever you go here.

Or would you like to discuss the definition of "plow" next?

The car didn't "plow" into the crowd, and no one was "ran over". That's bull****. A car slowly crawled into a crowd and 2 people were knocked down. That's all that happened.

Please stop assuming media headlines are literally true.

Like what? ... and how you doing? Been a while.

I don't have a problem with lizzy as an individual. Just pointing out how partisan the whole Ferguson issue has become.

Do you disagree with that?

For the 50 billionth time... what does the issue in Ferguson have to do with this guy "running over" people? In Court I would ask, "Relevance?".

This occurred in the city of Ferguson during protests related to a shooting in Ferguson (and nationwide shootings as well). What does this not have to do with Ferguson?
 
Correct - I used a dictionary to define a word. It's madness.

Incorrect. It was a phrase that consisted of two words... see how the details matter?

I don't disagree with that overall but I do disagree that lizzie is a part of it. So she wanted to clarify that nobody was seriously injured. I'm guessing your problem with that is it could temper the outrage you want to fuel.

No, it is a partisan rant that we are on... well, anybody that opposes whysoserious, that is...

I'll concede that I shouldn't have responded so aggressively. I guess I was just hoping that some of the people who I usually disagree with would prove me wrong and not think that it's okay to use your car to move people out of your way.

IKR? :)

Well let's see. We've had everything from:

-The driver couldn't see the escape route to the left (it was as clear as crystal);
-He was pissed, so he had a right or at least justification for plowing through the crowd (what civilized nation even considers tolerating such a thing?);
-He was surrounded by protesters and had no choice (haha, yeah right);

Etc. It's quite entertaining in a bad way.
 
Incorrect. It happened in Minneapolis.

Ah, true (see how I am willing to admit when I am wrong?). But the protests were in relation to the events of Ferguson, which is the only reason I can garner that people would think it's okay that these people were hit by a car.
 
Incorrect. It happened in Minneapolis.

Well Minnesota is right next to Missouri, isn't it? No? They're both states that begin with the letter "M" so they're effectively the same. Yeah, that's it.

Who has indicated that it is OK to "use your care to move people out of your way"?

You just make up stuff... I call you on it and nothing. Nothing. NADA.

Yeah, I have seen some like that and those are pretty weak reasons...

Why else would you all try to soften the language? If you all are not arguing that he shouldn't be charged - then fine. We agree on that. But I am pretty sure Jerry disagrees.

They are on the same latitude as well... I am sensing that he actually does have an argument with these two facts coming to light!!
 
Oh snap. :lol:

You would. Yeah, he really got me by me being wrong about the city. Let's all forget the part where he and Jerry through a temper tantrum because they can't define the English language.

Well Minnesota is right next to Missouri, isn't it? No? They're both states that begin with the letter "M" so they're effectively the same. Yeah, that's it.

Instead of being passive aggressive, why don't you just come out and say what you want to say?
