We loose 40,000 a year due to having very weak drivers license regulations - we all know they will let just about anyone on the road, even drunk drivers. <br /><br />We loose 40,000 a year to suicide due to unemployment, which in a government controlled economy like our falls back to the government - they make the endless rules no one can actually follow. Most of us know that when a company hires their first employee in a state it they have to fill out 200 forms, taking up over 10% of the employers time. Yeah, we really care!<br /><br />Cops kill many citizens with little or no consequence, we make our soldiers nuts and they kill themselves. <br /><br />Then we get worked up about onsey twoseys - a shooting that takes out a few people when we are billions after billions. We value lives that die in buildings that fall down many times more than deaths that could have easily been prevented by giving a shit or opening our eyes. We really value those that die at the hands of crazy people, more so if the crazy people have guns. We direct our wasted attention on trying to limit access to guns in stead of crazy - which is institutionalized. We shame the kid who did not move his hand in just the right way and "forced" the cop to kill him. Why did the kid make it do it....?<br /><br />We do all this, when the killing is still quite rare and there are far bigger issues in the world that make every moment harder, by design. <br /><br />The generic stop the killing message is pretty weak, it says to me that we just want what we want, we don't want to have to think critically or actually do anything except protest when it is trendy. This lack of thought is not restricted to Amherst, but is highly present here, folks even brag about this crap. <br /><br />At least some folks still have the right to protest....<br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5035949355013113578.post-70649623204748391162016-07-11T20:26:28.669-04:002016-07-11T20:26:28.669-04:00Larry I would like to see you stand closer to Vinc...Larry I would like to see you stand closer to Vince next time!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5035949355013113578.post-51872651706820835492016-07-11T15:49:08.703-04:002016-07-11T15:49:08.703-04:00Roland G.

Try to take them from the law abiding citizens and only the CRIMINALS will keep theirs....just as they do now. What do you think will be different?<br /><br />When large drug arrests are made and weapons are found, do you really think the weapons are legal or registered? Where do you think the criminals acquire them? HINT...mostly from other criminal activity! There are way too many ILLEGAL GUNS in this country to ever take them all away. They are illegally passed between criminals all the time. <br /><br />It is the right of all law abiding Americans "to keep and bear arms." This freedom is granted to us for a very good reason.

However, if he is taking a step to bridge a gap, then he should be commended not excoriated. <br /><br />I find your post to be completely counterproductive. We need to come together.

Now that someone legally carrying heavy arms openly in Texas starts killing law enforcement it is time to stop and Larry is right? Should we stop killing only police officers or should we also include motorists who've been pulled over for a broken tail light? There are a lot of broken tail lights out there. Maybe we should take all motorists out who have any kind of violation. That would make the roads a lot less congested and keep whitey happy!<br /><br />What about the 2nd amendment Larry? What about people's rights to bear arms? Aren't you going to keep beating that worn out drum? 50% of our country has been screaming about this murdering madness for years. Where have you been? The united States is all about making and selling weaponry to the world. That is our major contribution. The people who've been standing on that corner for 40 years know that and have been protesting against it. Selling weapons is a midset is a mind set, like cops shooting and killing black men because they fear them. But now you think it is time to stop. Oh gee, that 's great. Now that Larry is here we can make some serious progress. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5035949355013113578.post-59423139802505814642016-07-11T06:29:26.406-04:002016-07-11T06:29:26.406-04:00Good going Larry.Good going Larry.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5035949355013113578.post-3267557104457566662016-07-10T21:38:05.139-04:002016-07-10T21:38:05.139-04:00Well, I did give up alcohol ...Well, I did give up alcohol ...Larry Kelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02614645831526190536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5035949355013113578.post-2008479687082848642016-07-10T21:34:39.598-04:002016-07-10T21:34:39.598-04:00Larry Larry Larry...too much kool-aid?Larry Larry Larry...too much kool-aid?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5035949355013113578.post-70333694648172336012016-07-10T19:11:32.439-04:002016-07-10T19:11:32.439-04:00Living in denial is violence...it begets THIS viol...Living in denial is violence...it begets THIS violence..we have a duty to consider this situation-if we freely runneth of the mouth-engage the brain-the one way WE CAN stop this incivility...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5035949355013113578.post-36734551712201293502016-07-10T18:39:39.020-04:002016-07-10T18:39:39.020-04:00As should we all.As should we all.Larry Kelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02614645831526190536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5035949355013113578.post-36882349913851422532016-07-10T18:35:22.023-04:002016-07-10T18:35:22.023-04:00This has been the most difficult social/political ...This has been the most difficult social/political moment of my adult life to digest, to process. So I woke up to Vicki Kemper's FB post about her sermon this morning and I got out of bed to go. She addressed our Friday rally. There, at First Church, I heard what she didn't hear: I am sorry for the deaths of those police officers, of every life lost for no good reason. I am truly grieving, mourning and fighting to come out of this sadness, this melencholy, this despair. Today, I got the word in Luke 10:25-37.
