That's the problem with you progressive. You don't allow people to express a judgement call. Every one who does is automatically tagged. Are they free to eat meat as they want ? Sure. Am I free to believe they must be fracking morons to do so ? Sure, just the same. While the hygienic infrastructure in the west can be seen to go too far in terms of bureaucracy, it exists for a valid purpose, and the best invention ever was probably sewer systems, ie. not living in your own disease ridden dejection.
So if we mention that African in Ebola's plagued countries are eating bushmeat stored in the worst possible hygienic environment, are we automatically racist ?
She's gonna call other FreeBSD committers (say, Colin Percival, her former mentor) to her rescue, and then she's gonna ban/block you, because it's all she knows about. I guess she could have a chance to work in China for their Great Firewall, but I doubt she has the competence. Even her work in FreeBSD is pretty laughable, it's all on her LinkedIn account, there should not be more than a dozen commit for a rather miserable line count.
Your view on the event are scaring. Brown escalated the situation by refusing to comply with Wilson's order. He just committed a robbery. What should have Wilson done ? Waiting for backup while the guy is going away ? Wilson is a LEO, he had probable cause to LEGALLY detain Brown. Brown decided to escalate the situation. Not Wilson. How you see the event is staggering. By your logic, no cop should ever detain anybody against their will, by doing so, they would "escalate the situation" which makes the whole justice system moot.
Once again, don't want to get shot ? Comply with the police after they caught you committing a robbery while you were stoned
Once again, it was not judging, it was self-defense. Do you even understand this concept ? If a thug invade a home, with only the wife present, is this ok for her to get raped / killed, or can she DEFEND HERSELF and shoot the bastard ? Your morality is breadcrumbs for criminals, victims have no way NOT to be victims. And no, calling 911 is not gonna fix the problem. When seconds matter, police are minutes away.
Shooting the head is pretty much a desperate move. You should try to shoot center mass, lungs, heart, it is a much wider target, especially on a moving subject. The head is rather small and there is a high likelyhood of bullet deflection if the shot is not precise due to the structure of the skull. Wilson shot more than 12 rounds, and only hit Brown 6 times, that not surprising considering the stress induced. Every IPSC/IDPA competitive shooter can tell you about that.
It's about a 6'4" 250lb trying to overrun a physically smaller cop. Look at Wilson, no muscle, weak shape. He didn't stood a chance against brown without a gun. Here, the gun is merely an equalizer of force.
I agree. While you might be driven to get blood on your end, it doesn't mean it is ethical, or moral. It is easy to take 3 month to judge the morality of 90 seconds worth of events. I don't think Wilson rejoiced himself to have killed Brown, it was just the best decision not to sit in a coffin when that happened. And he's got to live with that. Just the same as the private with german's blood on his hands. It was the best thing to do at the time it was done. While there is no pride in war, it doesn't mean you got to run away with it.
Have you heard of self-defense ? It's not about being trial, sentencing and execution, it is about stopping an imminent threat and the preservation of MY life.
Because blacks are over-represented in crimes statistics. Blacks make about 15% of the US population, but represent about 30% of arrests, as per FBI's numbers available here: http://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cj...
The training is not about shooting a shoplifter, it is about being capable of deterring a threat should it happen. Wilson didn't ask to be beaten. He didn't ask Brown to take his gun. He merely asked Brown to walk on the damn sidewalk. But Brown decided to escalate. This is THIS situation which is taught. It should be taught in every single school, alongside the handling of firearms. Criminals would think twice before being criminals... All in all, an armed society is a polite and civil society..
It took several minutes for the 1986 Miami shooting perp to die from a non-survivable gun shot issued at the beginning of the firefight. In the mean time, they killed or injured several FBI agents. Point is ? Mammals body is really well designed to cope with stressful, life threatening events. I'm speaking about mammals in general because even during a hunt, it can takes minutes for a (non survivable) lung shot to be fatal. During that time, the wounded animal will be extremely stressed and dangerous. Thus the general advice to rest for a few minutes before tracking down the wounded game.
The testimony of Wilson about the ended of the encounter is particularly interesting. The shot fired were obviously not enough to cope with the threat, thus aiming at the CNS (the head), to stop the threat.
Both side committed crime against humanity during WWII. One of the key of the Nuremberg trial was to find charges for crimes the Gemans had committed, which were not committed by the allies as well. Because the allies won the war does not make all their action morally acceptable. Every side had a shitload of blood on their hands.

It does, but it's still buggy. Which is rather laughable, they're shipping a release to get beta-tester to hopefully fix the code :-/

ZFS will hamstring your system no matter what...
sysctl is merely to FreeBSD what /sys is to the linux kernel, just a more convenient kernel / userland interface than the binary-only ioctl.

Carbon tax is gonna go in the pocket of rulers and their "friends". Not in infrastructure.
It is "stuff that matter", if you don't want to read about it, don't read about it. I do want to read about it.

I would say the same thing about white kids, but anyway...
Pretty much...
Given that you're quoting me out of context, I'm not even gonna dignify that with a response.
The child should have been taught not to waive a bb gun without an orange tip in a public area...
you forgot the "stuff that matter".
