But we are told that gays don't have a choice. So what the NYC mayor's did - abandon lesbianism for heterosexual marriage - must be impossible.

Shep, You don't know that at all..... I had a neighbor with 3 kids who left his wife for a boyfriend......how so? The question of gay rights should have nothing to do with whether homosexuality is a choice or whether it's something one is born with. On the other hand, we have the liberal left going nuclear every time they see evangelicals trying to convert homosexuals into becoming hetero. Why is that? Tenchusatsu P.S. - That question is rhetorical for you, Shep, but it's not for anyone else.

This time, gang members choose wrong victim Posted by Andrew Branca Tuesday, September 9, 2014 at 8:30am Armed defender shoots, kills 15-year-old attacker and known gang-member Yesterday I wrote of yet another vicious deadly-force gang attack: “Caught on video: Another black-on-white racially motivated gang attack.” In that post, I cautioned that gang attacks of this kind were likely to end very badly for the attackers once they stumbled upon a victim who was lawfully armed and prepared to defend himself. It wasn’t long before I received an example of this type of attack happening in Milwaukee, four days prior to the September 7 attack described in yesterday’s post. As reported by the Daily Caller (video embedded below), on September 3 a gang of teens attempted to rob a group of people in Milwaukee. According to police spokesman Lt. Mark Stanmeyer, the gang had been involved in dozens of robberies in prior days, Unlike the racially-motivated gang attack on the young white couple in Missouri, covered here, resulting in serious injury, or the gang attack on the three white men outside Kroger’s in Memphis, covered here, resulting in all three of the victims being beaten unconscious, the Milwaukee victims were not helpless: one of them was armed with a pistol, and used it to thwart the attack. The result was the death of one of the teen attackers, who was just 15 years old. He was a “known gang-member,” and already had serious criminal charges for robbery and auto theft filed against him before participating in his final, fatally flawed gang robbery attempt. Perhaps most remarkably, this thug had already been shot in a robbery attempt as recently as August 1, and was back committing crime barely a month later. Five other members of the attacking gang have been arrested, ranging in age from 14–14!– to 18 years of age.
