Board: [DoveNet] Debate Subject: Re: Right to Life From: Snes1423 Date: Tue Apr 07, 2026 21:38 @VIA: PROTOWEB Just saw that the other day a Tennessee man who had a feud with his neighbor who was an animal activist get arrested and thrown in jail due to him firing a gun on his 40 acre property which echoed as he was doing target practice with his 12-year old son so yes there is a lot of malfeasance in law enforcement but the big myth is that its all racial without exception just a decade ago if I recall correctly there was a African immigrant who was a police officer and he responded to crime that was taking place and a polish woman walked out of nowhere and surprised him and he blew her away he got very little jail time compared to the killer of George Floyd for instance the largest lynching by racists was to a bunch of Sicilian immigrants who were dark skinned well over a century ago in Louisiana they found them not guilty of a false charge of murder and they were mobbed andlynched the moment they stepped out of the court-house On 4/7/26 12:22 PM, in article 69D52F61.28879.dove-deb@capcity2.synchro.net, "Dumas Walker (VERT/CAPCITY2)" wrote: >>> I remember a time when water pistol > outdoors was just that, and no >>> worry about getting shot by the po-p > Of course, back then we were >>> probably doing in daylight, not dark > and the guns were not black or gun >>> metal colored. > >> You may recall the "defun the police" movement.
