    Where in these games does someone break into your house and threaten your family. Don't believe in all this carrying guns stuff but I believe you have a right to defend your home and family.

    Totally agree with 1000%.

    The law favours the bad guys way too much

    I heard elsewhere that it might have started out as a dispute between civilians and the police got involved which lead to them being shot rather than killing police being the goal, not sure how reliable it is yet. Can't wait to see how everyone will say how awful it is and then go back to doing nothing. I do get a laugh from people who think that somehow a state with higher gun control having shootings means it doesn't work. It's not like you can go from one state to another. If less guns meant more gun crime then countries like Ireland would be ****ed.



    And when they have a gun you're going to go all Steven Seagal on them and save the day.

    Criminals do what they want in this country. Rob a hundred houses. Suspended sentence I'll do another. Maybe guns is the wrong way to go but we need some way to frighten these *****.

    Sure, keep them in prison until they are rehabilitated and track them for a period afterwards.

    Making it easier to get guns will allow them to get guns. I feel a lot safer knowing that it is incredibly rare for them to have guns than I would if I had my own gun.

    Well Obama will leave a great legacy for race relations.

    With the changes to the foodstamps programme coming this year then we can see alot of more White Middle Class people getting murdered and more police also getting killed. I predict Rodney King-esque Riots in every major US City when Trumps sweeps the Electoral College. I think the era of Socialized Welfare across America will be coming to an abrupt end. Firearm sales are at all time highs as more and more ordinary Civilians arm themselves to the teeth. Obama will long be remembered as the worst President in the history of the Union, its a testament to George W. Bush that someone could even surpass him in terms of ineptitude.

    RIP to the Police killed in America
    Obama is the worst President in the history of the United States.

    Seems reasonable.
    The head of one of Cleveland's largest police unions is calling on Ohio Gov. John Kasich to temporarily restrict the state's open carry gun laws during this week's Republican National Convention following Sunday's shooting in Louisiana that killed three officers and wounded at least three others.

    Obama is the worst President in the history of the United States.

    He's there or there abouts.

    Last week before the Dallas shootings he came out in a press conference and said that there was a problem with racism amoungst police forces in America. The President literally said that the police were racist.

    Today he gets the White House to issue a statement saying "Attacks on Police Have to Stop".

    I suppose the people that gave their lives to protect and serve don't merit a press conference in his mind, whilst some guy in his car being shot by mistake does.

    I'll be delighted when Trump pisses it into the White House in the election. What we have now is the product of left wingers getting into power. Race relations set back years and police officers murdered in the street.

    killing cops is only gonna give the bad ones the excuse to shoot more civilians. It's gonna make everyone edgy & the cops are gonna come down harder

    People won't know it now but Trump will destroy Hillary in November. Once the debates happen head to head, he will crush her simply by relating to people with straight talking. Even to people who might not agree with all he says but he will make her look weak when it comes to Islamic terrorism, Libya etc.

    Worse than William Henry Harrison?

    “We believe the person who shot and killed our officers, he is the person who was shot and killed at the scene,“ Edmonson said, adding that police “do not believe we have any other shooter holed up.”

    Looks to be one shooter again. Bit of an unfair advantage having a rifle v handgun..

    REHABILITATED. You are having a laugh.

    Were all the police white or has that information even been released yet?

    Heard on MSNBC that one was African American

    In Dallas at least one of the guys who was killed was Hispanic and a family man but hey he was probably white looking through a rifle scope and Obama said the police are racist so, whatever.

    Black officers are probably seen as Uncle Toms by good old Barack and his buddies anyway.

    The man should be ashamed for what he has done to America. It was far from perfect before him but he has lit the fuse on a racial powder keg and will shortly be walking away from it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,758 ✭✭✭RedemptionZ


    God some of these black lives matters activists have absolutely no PR skills. Just seen on American news a BLM protest and a man complaining about police calling them the biggest threat to the countries security and other exaggerated rhetoric. He does this hours after police have just been murdere. Just going to alienate people that are on the fringes that may otherwise support your cause.

    Nope I'm Irish, just not taken in by the left wing hugbox around Obama. Whoop de ****, he's not a white guy. Thank **** that little experiment is soon to be over.

    He is a terrible president who has damaged American badly.

    Getting very worked up about the president of another country, seems a bit odd tbh. I remember back in the day, lads getting very worked up about poor ould Mandela even though they'd never been near south africa :confused:

    Why are you even reading/posting in this thread if you don't think people should care about things that are happening in other countries?

    With a name like Gavin Long he could be irish descendent.

    He was a member of ''Nation of Islam '' and an ex marine

    i tend to agree with him ,

    obama has been awful for america even compared to bush

    obamacare a massive expensive failure
    failed to withdraw from oil wars
    has more loyalty to his black brothers than the nation
    and he is responsible for stoking the flames of the nightmare by failing to strongly condemn the actions of the fringe lunatics and organised liberal authority haters


    he was never really qualified for the job , if he was white he wouldn't have gotten the job at all ,

    God knows what lies ahead for america now . they have to choose between a childish bankrupt lunatic and a self serving traitorous liar.

    Micheal D isnt perfect but he is a million times better than them

    Oh, you mean the black supremacist, antisemitic Nation of Islam?

    Gee, wonder why he would decide to shoot a bunch of cops a week after the first black President of the USA said that there was a problem with racism in the police?

    Michael D, is a nobody really. He just plays a ceremonial role in Irish politics.

    Loyal to his black brothers?

    He's done jack sh*t for african americans. Bill Clinton done far more.

    Interest maybe. Don't care enough about the skin colour of a president in another country to start ranting about it. just find it a bit weird when irish people begin spouting the same rhetoric you read on loony libertarian sites in the states

    So both of these cop killers were trained US Army soldiers who spent time in war zones.

    I wonder if there is a pattern here.
