2. And if we lived in a world of parental engagement, where everyone's contribution - no matter how meager - was simply accepted, there'd be so few bullies that they would be viewed as a cultural aberration.

3. And with engaged parenting there'd be less worry on that account.

4. I'll give you two scenarios and you can tell me how you feel about each one, OK? You can't ask questions. You have to base your response simply on what is stated.

Scenario 1:

A white man steps out of a building to confront an angry mob. He is brandishing firearms.

Scenario 2:

A group of black men and women, dressed in all-black BDUs, march down a city street. All of them are carrying rifles.

5. I get your point, but what I'm really getting at is that just because I'm against theft doesn't mean that an 8-year-old black kid should get 6 months in juvie while his white partner in crime just gets a stern talking to.

6. Thank you for proving the "pedicure scenario."

2 & 3. Now you're expecting parents to be more involved?    It's a dream you have, Arthur?

Scene 1. I'd guess the guy owns the property and would like people to disperse and leave. Hopefully gunfire wouldn't be necessary.

Scene 2. I'd guess they were legally carrying guns and support their 2nd Amendment rights. (provided they did not block traffic, of course)

5. I don't why you'd ever believe that I wouldn't think that both 8 yr olds deserve the same treatment? Equality and consistency. The Law/Govt is supposed to be the one place we can all look to for equal treatment. Not so in the rest of the world so much. of course.

6. Did you catch my Robert Kraft post today?

2&3: Yes. That was my original comment. Didn't you read it? Of course you didn't.

4 which one worried you more: one white guy with a gun or 50 gun-toting black people?

It's OK, Abs. I expect you to lie. Maybe that's my fault, but you're the gy who supports murderers like Rittenhouse.

5. Based on your other posts, I just don't believe you.

6. Nope. But I hope you denounced the court's decision to "destroy" the tape.

2. Pretty delusional to expect something from people that have shown you again and again it won't happen.

4. I'd be more worried about the 1 guy feeling threatened and getting an itchy trigger finger. I'd figure the large crowd had agreed upon a certain approach beforehand.

I do. Hopefully he'll be acquitted.

6. Amazing what connections and wealth can get you.
