Looks like gun control laws don’t seem to impact criminals. Good work by SBPD removing him from our streets.
Looks like anti-murder laws don’t stop murdering. Looks like any anti-stupid laws that might be passed would not stop you from posting.
ZIPS – you keep posting the same, easily destroyed and countered things on immigrants, drugs, guns, heck just about every topic. Do you have a cheat sheet you copy/paste from every time you comment? I mean you (and all the other online MAGAts) post the same exact pathetic “arguments” on all these topics all across the internet, from Edhat to Facebook. You guys should come up with something that is actually, logically sustainable.
Read Alex’s comment a few times and let it sink in.
ZIPS – nothing in my comment is an ad hominem attack. It’s an observation on the repetitiveness of your comments and a suggestion that you make better arguments.
I “surrender” at nothing. I always call you out and destroy your weak arguments, that will never stop.
The only one surrendering is you every time you’re asked a question and you run away crying like a child.
Maybe come back when you’re adult enough to actually engage with others in a mature, intellectually honest and educated manner. In other words, you’re not capable enough to handle a discussion of the things you support. Now THAT is ad hominem, but it’s 100% true.
