You know those inflatable clowns with the weight on the bottom? You can punch them all you want, but they just bounce right back to verticle position. You can punch all day.... And it just bounces right back. But it's a "one trick pony". It has no other use. Yes "justus", you keep popping back up, and full of hot air.
Not only is your recitation of the purported facts wrong, but it is entirely possible that Dorner became psychotic after being fired from LAPD. Even if he had been treated wrongly, that would not justify or even explain his conduct. How many people who are wrongly imprisoned go on a murderous rampage after being released?
How says he shot anyone? Who says he didn't dig out of a cabin and the snow and flee? You can do that if you know there's no slab. I woulda had the floorboards up in a hot second once I got inside.
That you throw Brady Cops into the hat means nothing, unless of course you want to go into the numbers and the types of lies that are acceptable during a police investigation of any type and those that aren't. Cities don't always fire cops rea these suits you blab about because so many are easier to pay off, knowing their bogus, than burden the taxpayers with legal fees that would dwarf many settlements, thank lawyers and judges for that. You were the kid who sat in the corner with the dunce hat on I'll bet, probably now reached your high point crying about cops and making stuff up, parents must be real proud. Done with you JustYou, no challenge.
Sorry about being so late in responding. My wife and I were taking what we call a hike -- 5 miles in the East Pasadena/Sierra Madre area, with stops at Sears & Best Buy to look at washing machines (exciting, no?).
I would actually agree with you that I can be a bit awnry. The drunk story was not the best example though. Justus is non penetrable with whatever angle you hit him with the logic. I just hit back at the level i think might work.....or I am just excited. Look, I am O.K with your commenting. No problem. Give it to me if you think it needs to be. I won't take my ball and go home. I think the humor, and sometimes self-decapitating humor comes from the times in life when one is so sure of something, only to find out different. I am only 99.99998% sure the sun will rise tomorrow. one in ten million some astronomical catastrophy happens. One in ten million reality is not what is presented. Washer dryer huh? About six years ago we bought the more expensive front load matching, which of course has the low water use. They might have changed by now. The front load has the rippled rubber between the door, and the tub. Well, some water is always in the rippled area. Thus a little bit of smelly green slime is always there, ready to get washed with your laundry. However you could remedy this with a quick wipe of some kind of cleaner that will not age the rubber. The low water, (opinion without fact), I don't think washes as well, and takes longer. When we downsized to one of my rentals, the old maytag with the dials where there. Yes!! Low tech-- dial just what you want---repeat what you want---I am happy.
"The standards you spoke of in any type of actual look at evidence that speaks to them would show the vast majority of officers act with the highest level of integrity" Any cop who participates in the reknown "code of silence" within the department ranks is not operating "with the highest level of integrity". And that would include the large, large majority of them. It's the secret that everybody knows. More truth for ya, chump. Smoke it. "That you throw Brady Cops into the hat means nothing...." It means nothing to you because you're obviously a water boy for LE. All departments have Brady Cops who are worthless as mammary glands on a bull moose. But the are kept on the payrolls because they are one of the good 'ol boys who got caught dirty. Dorner committed the cardinal sin. He snitched off another cop and that gets no leniency in a corrupted police department. So he was axed. More truth for ya, chump. Smoke it. "You were the kid who sat in the corner with the dunce hat on I'll bet, probably now reached your high point crying about cops and making stuff up, parents must be real proud." You're way too easy. A real ignorant one. Dumb as a box of cow chips. I assume you graduated towards the bottom of the class. Were you the chief's kid by chance? heh.
Barry, you only need to hit the enter button once to post. Not twice. That results in a double post (like you did). If you have further questions ask any 2nd grader in your neighborhood. He or she should be able to help you.
So apparently you got schooled by someone on the 'young side' by your own description. The youngin' stated the facts and you failed get get up off the corner stool for Round 2. How exactly did that make you feel? heh. :^)
I think you are my Quantum entanglement. Thats better than a soul mate. In science, once two particular particles interact, then become separated, they still act as if they are united, no matter how far across the universe each may be. They take the opposite value, in sort of a ying-yang effect. The interaction is instantaneous.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_entanglement jiggybuzzmarty>>>>>>>>>>>

Buzz, I read the arguments you posted long before you posted them. I just don't buy them, largely because I don't buy the motives of the folks who made them, and I told you that. IMNHO, that absolved me from the responsibility of making a point-by-point refutation. It might amuse you to know that a fellow that used to be at my church (he's since moved back east) -- an emeritus professor of physics at Caltech -- suspects that I am a teabagger because I don't embrace his views about GW without question. His views are directly the opposite of yours but are held with the same dogged determination. This is a situation I'm not unfamiliar with, but unlike SteveB's otherwise excellent comment to JustUs, I don't think that necessarily means I'm automatically wrong. It means that I think the real answer is somewhere in between the extreme viewpoints, and I told you that, too. Does that make you feel better?
By the way after reading one of your other posts, I see that decades ago, I lived a few blocks from your area now. Highview Ave, above Mariposa. I wrote previous about how we had 64 kids on one block. All babyboomers, almost no one locked their doors. We were black, and white and others. And from what this six year old kid remembers, everyone of any race and age got along without an issue. We didn't know people were not getting along elswhere.
As for the neighborhood, there aren't quite so many children around, but it still has the same ethnic character you speak of. That's one of the things I really like about this part of Altadena ...and thank you for biting your tongue. I imagine there are plenty of other things we can argue about.
Almost same thing here. My wife actually gave me the silent treatment on our honeymoon in Hawaii. As for Dorner/police thing. The problem with some here, is when they proclaim, cops bad, Dorner good, period. Dorner was a murderer. There are good cops, and bad cops. I have had everything from excellent to horrible experiences. Sabbatical? I bet too many would not come back. Tell me what movie will win the Oscars when you are done with them.
The homes on Highview were drawn up by Gregory Ain, who is a well known as far as architecture is concerned. It surprised me to learn they were built in 1946. It is a style I am used to seeing in the fifties-early sixties. http://gregoryainparkplannedhomes.blogspot.com/ There were so many kids that you could always find someone to play with out in the street. Sometimes on Saturdays, you would find a couple dozen doing different activities, of which to choose. Most kids could go stop sign to stop sign without worry, as long as your in when the street lights came on. We had the ice cream man, the milk man etc.. Parents could tell kids that are not there own to behave. And we listened. If you look at different neighborhoods, you will notice that the more money, and the bigger the house...........the less you have with those around you. You become closed in to your own world. We were fairly poor when I was a kid. I never new that. And the childhood experiences can't be paid for. We were rich without the money.
