She entered where there nothing to top her. So, a "no trespassing" sign has to be backed up with a fence with concertina wire backed by armed guards or land mines or it has no meaning?

"Stand your ground has nothing whatsoever to do with this killing" A house invader was killed. "belittling her murder is offensive to any person of decency." Decent people don't break into buildings as part of a lynch mob. "She entered where there nothing to top her" All home invaders say that. Turns out that many of them find out they were in error when they get shot. Thank you for giving Rat the honor of being included in the same sentence as Bruce and Neil. "Brumer changing his stripes," Not really; if America and democracy weren't at stake, he and I would be fighting over gun control, climate, abortion, etc. "Don’t you ever ask yourself how you got from there to here?" I often wonder why the party that stood up to the Evil Empire knelt down and gave Putin a blow job.

It is just as bizarre as Brumer changing his stripes, except he did it over ten days while you did it over 60 years. I imagine that Brumer was always a patriot.

I wonder if you get as upset about this guy who was killed by police for talking back when they tried to stop him from jaywalking. Newly released video shows deputies confront Black man over alleged jaywalking before fatally shooting him in San Clemente LOCAL NEWS by: Erika Martin Posted: Feb 17, 2021 / 08:44 PM PST / Updated: Feb 17, 2021 / 08:49 PM PST Orange County sheriff’s officials released video Wednesday in the investigation into homeless outreach deputies’ fatal shooting of a Black man they’d accused of jaywalking in San Clemente last year. The release includes dashcam, cellphone and motel surveillance video that capture the ordeal unfolding from the moment deputies contacted 42-year-old Kurt Andras Reinhold on the sidewalk, to the ensuing struggle and Reinhold’s shooting death. No body camera video was released. The Sept. 23 shooting, on the heels of national unrest over police violence, sparked protests that resulted in the city of San Clemente declaring a curfew in certain areas. The two deputies involved, an eight-year veteran and a 13-year veteran, are full-time homeless liaison officers in San Clemente. Their duties involve assisting those living on the streets and helping them access resources and services. O.C. sheriff’s officials have not released their names. The incident began when the deputies observed Reinhold near the corner of El Camino Real and Avenida San Gabriel as they sat in their patrol car across the street. “Watch this, he’s going to jaywalk,” one of them can be heard saying on the dashcam footage. The deputies then debate whether he’s jaywalking, with one telling the other, “Don’t make case law.” The deputies then pull up to Reinhold, who’s standing on the sidewalk. After that, both the deputies and Reinhold disappear from the camera’s view, but their voices are still audible. “Are you going to stop or are we going to have to make you stop?” one of the deputies asks Reinhold multiple times. Reinhold is heard asking, “For what?” The deputy tells him for jaywalking. “What are you talking about? I’m walking,” Reinhold replies, then shouts at the deputies to get off him. An argument ensues. Reinhold says he doesn’t understand why he’s being stopped and repeatedly asks the deputies to stop touching him. One deputy tells him he’s resisting arrest for jaywalking. “That’s ridiculous,” Reinhold says. The audio from deputies’ microphones becomes unintelligible as the three move away from the patrol vehicle. Bystander cellphone video captured the group continuing to argue as Reinhold tries to walk away from the deputies. One deputy begins shoving Reinhold, and both deputies soon tackle him to the ground. Sgt. Dennis Breckner says in the video release the deputies were trying to “gain control of him.”
