Yet another mass shooting

You can be a chickenshit [ussy pay] and lead others to not be.

They actually aren't mutually exclusive.

If you tell others to follow you, and when they get to the door you tell them to go in--you're still a [ussy pay]. But you got the job done.

 

“where’s Rommel?”
And I’m def no alpha badass. I just can’t imagine doing nothing.

 

Because some police officers place their safety and life above all others. He has something in his hand; kill him and declare qualified immunity. He has nothing in his hand; kill and declare qualified immunity. He looks suspicious; kill him and declare qualified immunity. He did not bow to my will and respect my authority regardless if my command is legal or not; kill him and declare qualified immunity. etc.

 

You couldn't go in. Police were blocking, handcuffing, and threatening with arrest the parents.

The officers who restrained him and did nothing else are accomplices to murder

 

I've never seen it

 

Yea, but when would you have? More than a few careers have been made by leading from behind.

But at least they led something.

 

I've never seen a leader, boss, foreman, any one in a position of authority be worth a damn if they aren't capable of doing what they ask of others

 

I don't think it translates. "Worth a damn" and "bare minimum" aren't the same.

And leadership and authority aren't the same.

I had Marines I wouldn't want to have any authority, but I could count on them to lead their squad to an objective. They wouldn't be the first in the door. But they'd get their squad to the door.

I had squad leaders and team leaders that were those Marines too.

The military, law enforcement, all that, has a chain of command. And you don't recruit exactly the number of leaders you need, and exactly the number of followers.

Typically, you're short leaders, and you make do.

 

6 people dead and a couple of dozen injured in Highland Park at a parade.

Red, White, and Blue thoughts and prayers.

 

Far too much effort is put into figuring out the politics of mass shooters. I don't see how it is ever particularly relevant.

 

We want single point solutions in a problem that doesn't have one

 

I saw an interview with his Uncle, who he apparently lived with. The uncle says there were no signs. Yet...

HIGHLAND PARK, Ill. — Robert “Bobby” E.

Crimo performed as a rapper who went by the name “Awake,” whose recent music videos included depictions of mass murder.

Crimo’s most recent video posted to YouTube showed him in the aftermath of a school shooting....

Here is one that was stopped and the Mom makes excuses...

 

I cannot judge a mother too harshly. I don't know how I would react in that situation, seeing my son arrested.

That said, this should be treated the same or worse as if you were threatening to kill the President. It should be loud and public knowledge that if there is a documented threat, joking or not, you will suffer being arrested at the minimum.

 

If you are tributing a mass shooter, you need to be evaluated.
