Interesting to learn about the situation fifty years ago. I think society changed a lot since then, though, and that not having the gun is not the major point of school shootings. Aggressivity, isolation, being prone to violence, these are things I'd guess impact more the situation than "the...

I don't agree with the death penalty and I say, if he wants to plead non-guilty and have a trial, then he should be within his rights to get one and try it. I mean, I don't believe he's not guilty, but so many others are (cops included) and they don't all get the population screaming to murder...

That is not what they are paid for. And how would their radio even tell them something was happening if no one was patrolling to make sure that nothing was happening? Sure, if there was a call, it could get transmitted to them, but police work is about more than just going out to check calls...

Interesting. And not really contradicting other impressions of Mexico -- corruption and high crime levels. I mean if in places like Tijuana so many people get kidnapped, it's probably that cops don't really work overtime....!

So, how does Texas plans to deal with school shootings? Why, by allowing the teachers to shoot down the students, of course. Because there is no way that could backfire, of course. Racial issues have been mentioned in the article. Let's hope it does not pass...

Pregnant woman in the arm, dad in the bottock.... Wow, this could have ended so much more tragically even if it still had not killed them. Dad could have been shot in the genitals, mommy could have been shot in the womb... These people are irresponsible but so very lucky in the consequences they...

Well, if they arrest people for DUI, then it's bound to happen every now and then, isn't it? It's reassuring to know that there are professional services for this. In a smaller town, this could be problematic, but I'd also imagine that in a smaller town, they would be more inclined to give...

Where I live, people are allowed to possess guns, but only if they have a license -- and a license comes just if you prove you are able to shoot properly and to handle a gun and storage it fine, as well as knowing the safety instructions. I only shot once and talked with the people from the...

Interesting. I know they made a movie about two guys deciding to impersonate police officers, and there was this funny scene where one of them had decided to make himself a general or something, and so he fooled them with that... But it is true that, apart from the possible humor of making a...

And I think that this sort of attitude is exactly what allows police brutality to have grown into such proportions that you can find tons of videos of pregnant women getting attacked or handicaped people getting beaten up, though racial issues are a big point that you'd find if you looked up...

Wow, some people really are twisted. I would not condone torture to be made on him, because I'm not a sadist, but I do hope he stays in jail and gets a psy in there. Also, do the policeman get to keep the dog, since the dog liked him so much?

I think a lot of people can let it get to their head, play hero and act like if they catch some minor crime, it makes them special. On this point, I'd say it'd be a nuisance. I think all the best to a community if it can prevent thieves and murders and rapes, but I'd think that even without the...

Nope. I don't have a fulltime job, just an internet side job to have some spending money (my accommodations are close to free), so what I actually need to live (food) is more than paid from a bit of Internet working. And this allows me to choose how much effort I want to give in, and do other...

Huh, never occurred to me that it was possible to watch the trials as they happened -- where I come from, we don't have a channel for that. I do like to keep an eye on the coverage and opinion articles made relating to the trial and to the participants. I don't think I'd have the patience to...

Well, yes. But I think it's also due to the fact that celebrities hire PR people that will "know" how to keep things quiet and tidy if they screw up (ie, someone will make a nice deal at some point) and if sh*t really hits the fan, then they can hire very good lawyers. I think these two points...

Apparently, some cops don't go softer on pregnant women. Apparently, the cause for this was that she was seen intervening in the arrest of her teenage son. The video shows the police pushing her to the ground on her pregnant-looking belly, and also hitting her in the stomach with a baton...

And I find it strange how much people want to punish others, just to satiate their own needs for a twisted justice. Either this man was protesting something and not budging was a statement (and if the law really is on his side about nudity, then I'd say even a credible statement), OR he has some...

Well, I think post-partum depression can lead to this, and has led to the death of the kids and/or the mother in many cases. I think though as we get more awareness, the partner sees it more and can help in? If it's not this, then she probably for sure has another mental illness.

Well, when I jog, I either put my attention to my breathing, counting them and making sure they are deep and regular, or to my posture. Sometimes I just let my mind drift though, for the sake of enjoying the experience. When I do other kind of exercise, I usually focus on whether I make the...

You guys cannot expect that police (or anyone, really) would be in the news for simply doing their job, that's insane. If there are any big crime or catastrophe, it *is* on the news how cops risk their lives to get things under control and protect people, sometimes getting shot in the process...
