Elections are rigged....that should be obvious after the California GMO labeling vote where the results were polled as 70% in favor of, and then amazingly and unexpectedly the actual vote tally was reversed with 70% voting against the labeling.
That was when I knew that Californians DO NOT VOTE.
Why?
Because you have a reversal of the poll, on a indifference based issue. What does that mean? Most people either care about having GMO products labeled or they do not give a damn. Almost no percentage of the population except for a few die hard folks on the right that still 3 DDT are actually concerned about preventing GMO labeling.
So you had grass roots vs the weeds of indifference. With zero affect on the weeds. Those who don't care about GMO labelling, have not horse in the race. Adding it doesn't affect them. They don't care. That was an IMPOSSIBLE vote, blamed on a spending and advertising fee but clearly a result of the electronic voting fabrication system.
There was some earlier article wording that suggested he left the theater and had gone to his vehicle. I believe it has been updated. (I wager, it was hypothesized when they thought it was a CCW carrier, but then when it turned out to be a cop. That perspective and attempt to taint the story was removed.)
My understanding is that if there is a long term plot, they will charge murder 1. However, if the action was in a heated moment. They usually pursue Murder 2 charges. Which I think is appropriate. The originating situation was NOT pre-meditated. But the retrieval of firearm, does point to an anticipation of using deadly force....
The Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act (LEOSA) is a United States federal law, enacted in 2004, that allows two classes of persons—the "qualified law enforcement officer" and the "qualified retired law enforcement officer"—to carry a concealed firearm in any jurisdiction in the United States, regardless of state or local laws, with certain exceptions.
Perhaps this was the 71 year old shooter's way of getting room, board, 3 square meals a day, healthcare and cable TV. All of which he was unable to afford on his meager retirement benefits.;-)
He went out to his car and retrieved his firearm. The question will be asked, if you were concerned for your safety....why did you return to the theater?
This was a retired cop. Police in America are privileged to wield guns whereever and whenever basically. And truth be told, law officers have a far poorer record than concealed carry permit holders.
The retired cop went out to his car and returned, I wager he is going to get charged with second degree murder as there seems to be some premeditation involved.
The whole irony, I get decried for being critical of the alarmism and poor science. Yet, I bet most of my critics weren't driving a Prius or 40 mpg vehicle. Composting. Feeding their waste to warms. Gardening and growing their own food. And trying to reduce their energy usage.
"Turns out once you include the deep ocean, the ocean is warming about 10x faster than our atmosphere. It will be interesting to see what happens once the ocean's average temp starts to approach that of our atmosphere."
Okay, let's pause for a moment, and review your own theory here.
Global Warming, it occurs in the atmosphere, as CO2 traps solar energy. That means the effects of the warming will first be felt and most strongly felt at the surface level.
Now, you're pointing to the fact that the deep ocean is warming up 10x faster than your atmosphere. This is like me taking a blowtorch to a frozen pond and expressing that the water at the bottom of the pond is getting warmer from my blowtorch at a rate 10x faster than the surface.
Do you see the problem with your logic. Even if we remove the ice, and just say an aquarium full of water with a lightbulb on top. Regardless of currents, circulation cycles, etc. The surface area near the bulb that is receiving the energy will warm up fastest. If you are getting 10x the warming rate at the bottom of the tank. You must consider whether an factor outside your experiment is contributing an unknown influence. I will wager that you will discover that the aquarium was a reptile tank that had a heating pad on the bottom.
In otherwords, a 10x faster rate of warming in the deep ocean concerns me that we may be in for some major geological activity. And there is likely something dumping far more heat to the submerged terra surface than we are aware of. And perhaps we should stop researching CO2 and spend some money understanding this concern. For perhaps we are about to suffer a Yosemite super-volcano eruption that could destroy all life on earth.
"9 years in a row have been the hottest on record"
And do note, that 4 of those have not been. And if we went through a little warming period, of course you would expect that most of those years would be the hot ones of record.
"we are warming up about 20x faster than any other warm up in the past 1,500 years"
There is some debate to that. And furthermore, 1,500 years in climate history is nothing. I often hear the comment weather vs climate, but you have to realize that in the history of earth's climate. 1,500 years is nearly still in the "weather" category.
"Is reducing waste such a bad thing that you'll say it's not worth it?"
Wow, love this....why is it so rare that global warming alarmists even mention such. No, I am all for reducing pollution, I compost, I try to grow my own food, used to drive a Prius (it died). And I am far more concerned with habitat destruction, over-fertilization, toxifying our soil, etc than I am CO2.
"What if you're wrong, then your mentality has doomed us, if we're wrong, meh, no harm done."
No, cause I still advocate for us to get off of oil, move to sustainable energy. And unlike 90% of the global warming alarmists I meet. I actually compost, and garden.

"still occupy the role of Great Satan"
Perhaps, but it's idiots like this who are making us "fulfill" that role.
I think we want to start a war...

YES
But not situations in which your life and well being are not threatened.
My understanding is that if there is a long term plot, they will charge murder 1. However, if the action was in a heated moment. They usually pursue Murder 2 charges. Which I think is appropriate. The originating situation was NOT pre-meditated. But the retrieval of firearm, does point to an anticipation of using deadly force....
Actually Concealed Carry Holders have a way better record than law enforcement officers. Far less likely to commit crimes btw.
Maybe cause well....you're in a closed room....(see Aurora)
His point is that LEOs and retired LEOs are EXEMPT from pretty much ALL of the restrictions.

Really, I'm impressed that his 3 year old daughter can read text messages!
Like if the popcorn had lots of butter and 'salt?
He went out to his car and retrieved his firearm. The question will be asked, if you were concerned for your safety....why did you return to the theater?
And this was flagged down...why?

Rape someone, and we'll slap your hand. Violate an IT law and we will treat you like the gravest danger the world has seen.
Nice...
