I didn't say that Pete.

That's just the phoney facade you try to put on here.

But then again, you're a salesman.

Putting on a big shit eating grin and pretending to be everyone's buddy by giving them a handful of howdy and a mouthful of much obliged is your stock-in-trade isn't it?

Everyone's a salesman. I find Pete to be less obnoxious than most. YMMV. Some prefer hostility in their debate, and they'll need to look elsewhere.

I'm going to watch this one closely to see how it plays out.

Both this guy and George Zimmerman are equally guilty of murder IMO.

However this guy killed another white man so I'm thinking we shall see quite a contrast between how the two cases play out.

The official account of Monday's shooting starts soon after that day's previews began rolling in Theater 10:

Reeves was about to watch Lone Survivor at the Cobb Grove 16 off Interstate 75 in Wesley Chapel with his wife and son, a police officer. He became annoyed when a man in the row in front of him, Chad Oulson, 43, kept messaging his toddler's caregiver.

Reeves left the theater to complain to management. When he returned alone, the pair argued. Oulson threw popcorn, and deputies say Reeves shot him with a .380-caliber pistol he pulled from his pants pocket — despite a posted theater rule banning concealed weapons.

Reeves claimed self-defense, saying he was struck in the face with an unknown object. Deputies dispute that. They arrested him on a second-degree murder charge.

We had another person come in here who thought that he had everyone pegged. He came at it from a right wing perspective, and was sure that everyone on the left here was on welfare. He was just as wrong as someone coming in from the left flank and thinking that everyone who approaches from the right is a worthless bigot. Most of us are considerably more complicated than that.

He was in reasonable fear of grievous bodily harm. A popcorn kernel could easily put an eye out....

That is a false equivalency.

Conservatives are extremely easy to "peg" as you call it.

They are by their very nature fearful of change and diversity.

Therefore they march together in lockstep like lemmings.

All you have to do is look at the congressional voting record of Republicans.

They block vote together on practically all significant issues.

And they practically excommunicate any of their members that dare to waver from the strict party line.

Being A Republican is a lot like being a member of the Mafia.

You seldom see that among Democrats.

It's the liberal side that has the big tent.

You will find more diversity among 10 liberals than you will among 1,000 conservatives.
