Please, serfs, don’t play hero… You’re not helping! Just allow shooters to fully execute their murderous plans with no resistance, or you’ll confuse police, and get yourself shot! Attacking an armed criminals while unarmed is dangerous, anyway!

In conclusion, if you don’t trust the police with your safety, you’re a crazy, racist gun-nut!

Sandra C.This is exactly why you Don’t give Teachers Guns!

Rayn: This is why police shouldn’t have guns… I’d be surprised if the cops don’t claim that this man was being violent, like they’ve done in similar situations..

(Tim Stelloh) Tony Garces was still reeling from his injuries on Tuesday, nearly two weeks after he disarmed a possible church shooter in Amarillo, Texas — and was then shot by police.

Speaking to NBC News by phone from his hospital room at Heart Hospital of Northwest Texas, Garces, 54, said that he was admitted to the emergency room on Monday with a blood clot in his lung.

The Relationship Between Democide and Gun Control

As I scrolled through my Facebook news feed, I discovered the following artwork here, being shared by the page, “Vermont Voluntaryists,” and originally posted it to my own wall, along with commentary…

"I can think of 6 million reasons why ordinary citizens should own assault weapons"

“I can think of 6 million reasons why ordinary citizens should own assault weapons.”

My Commentary: Over 11 million, actually… if you’re including all victims.

(Michael Brown, the unarmed black teenager who was killed by a police officer, sparking protests around the nation, was shot at least six times, including twice in the head, a preliminary private autopsy performed on Sunday found.

One of the bullets entered the top of Mr. Brown’s skull, suggesting his head was bent forward when it struck him and caused a fatal injury, according to Dr. Michael M. Baden, the former chief medical examiner for the City of New York, who flew to Missouri on Sunday at the family’s request to conduct the separate autopsy. It was likely the last of bullets to hit him, he said.

My Commentary: Michael Brown was shot by officer Darren Wilson at least six times, in total – as an unarmed civilian facing his executor with hands up, in surrender. Two of the bullets that Wilson fired at Brown entered his head, including one bullet that “shattered [his] right eye, traveled through his face, exited his jaw and re-entered his collarbone,” leaving “at least five different wounds” in its path.
