2 idiots kill eachother at Toys-R-Us, no further injuries.
Sorry to everyone who was scared out of their wits, but this has to make you smile! You won't be missed fellas.
Drew his gun but forgot to cock it then had to flee! What a maroon! But I guess he was a good shot! Fleeing like that and he turns around to fire fatal shots! Even idiots have their skills I guess!
Too bad the mirth of this story was killed by mixing it up with the idiot shoppers in New York City. Its too bad they were not the ones scared silly at Toys-R-Us.

Technically, that IS breaking and entering. Legally speaking, there was seal around the mosquito screen door, put there when the woman closed it. He broke that seal when he opened the door. That is what breaking and entering is. Its only multiplied if something actually gets broken in the process.

Must you drag us in circles here? You find a genuine insurgent and he can face whatever justice he faces. I am not talking about genuine insurgents. I am talking about people who were summarily locked up on guesses and unproven claims. Some of those people are innocent, or even guilty of nothing more than possessing weapons in a war zone and were never adequately protected by our forces nor even Iraqi Security Forces. They deserve their day in court.

We have gone from "terrorist apologist" to "Muslim apologist". The religion needs no more excusing than Christianity. Frankly, to make such comments puts you in the EXACT SAME HATE LEAGUE as the terrorists you claim to despise. This attitude is most unhelpful to those of us who promote peace.
But there are some people out there who will make any old ignorant excuse to hate and make war. Plenty who crave violence on both sides. I despise them all and excuse none for neither nationality nor religion.

We are the ones who locked them up. We have an obligation to ensure they are set free if they are guiltless and not punished for being born Sunni or Shia on a silver platter we furnished.
I will be more than happy to see an end to meddling once that is done.

Remember this: I never would have put them in harm's way in the first place. There can be no greater care than that. You think the people that put them there care more? LMAO!
Not all those weapons are trained on our soldiers, and just because someone has them, does not mean he intends to.
And gosh. Now that our soldiers are there, I really don't mind putting the people of Iraq before them. Anybody who cannot accept that order of priority has NO BUSINESS being in a position of liberating those people. Either you are for liberation and you accept the risks or you don't. And if you cannot provide security, then you darn well better let the people provide their own.

It also seems the girl was not reported missing. I am just saying, if you do report your child missing, the fact that so many parents are involved in the death (like these two) means you will be investigated by the police, so don't be surprised.

Says who? If a neighbor asks about the girl, and they say "she is living with grandma now.", how is the neighbor supposed to know any different?
If there is not contact with other family, how are they supposed to know?
Some people are great at making excuses and lies.

Many here have lost all reason and ability to read.
Details are thin. Stop jumping to unfounded assumptions.
We do not know how or why she died yet.
It would seem she was not even reported missing. Why make it the fault of the police? I have seen them searching for missing kids many times. They got no magic spells to cast.
Maybe they did. In fact, I suspect the intense questioning raised enough suspicious that the man killed himself so he would not have to face justice.

Despite the silliness of the mosaic, Japan is pretty liberal on the subject of porn. So liberal and so less violent in fact that removing the mosaic will hardly change anything. I do think there is a relationship between the liberation and the non-violence though, don't think I don't. There is just a lot more too it.

If you report your kid missing, you will be investigated, and here is why.

Hunting? Don't be ridiculous!
Naturally, if it were you and your family, you would follow the rules to the letter, like our American Revolutionary War ancestors did, right? Just knives for you, no matter who is on the other side of your door kicking it in, right?
Honestly can't see what problem you have with the AK, or even mortar tubes and RPGs. IEDs though, yeah, that is going to warrant some detention and investigations, but you cannot tell me there is no good reason whatsoever to have such a thing when living in a war zone. Its not the IED in such a case, its what you do with it. As if the U.S. military and the coalition of the willing have done a bang up job protecting the ordinary citizens of Iraq! No need for anyone to arm themselves at all! Or even bust up bombed out houses for fire wood during a complete blackout because it violates martial law (and yes, people got in trouble for that).
And now I think is a good time to mention the old anonymous tip that gets your hated neighbor carted off for indefinite detention.
Amazing how hard people of fought for simple rights like the right to self defense and the right to a fair trial, and you just shrug them off from the comfort of your computer.

Sort of like that pagan festival Halloween in Christian countries?
In Japan, Christmas Eve is all about lovers for some reason. If you don't have a date on Christmas Eve, you are unloved, or not loved exclusively.
My wife lives a few prefectures away, and darn near lost her mind when she found out I have to work all day Christmas Eve and in the evening also. She thought for sure I would be going to visit her. She is not having being alone, and is coming all the way for the paltry time we will have together that night.

How chirpy are you?
Some of those people are there just for having weapons in their home, something Americans at home do all the time, many also illegally. Difference is, they are not living in a war zone with foreign troops wandering around breaking in doors in the middle of the night, and tribal factions shooting and blowing each other to bits.

Tell that to our soldiers that continue to get shot at and dodge IEDs. Tell that to the 25 civilians and 15 policemen wounded by the suicide car bomb in Mosul. Tell that to the families of the two people who died there.
But keep those blinders on so they know who they are talking to.

The article clearly states it was captured mere hours before. Its a little quick to be calling it a "mother ship". Its more like a recently captured vessel.
Anyway, I hope the "blow them out of the water" advocates understand that when the bullets fly, innocent people die, 15 in this case, and one lucky he did not die in his dingy. Not to say that the Indians were not justified if they were fired on first, but just saying this is why you don't run in with guns blazing just recover ships and cargo. The lives of the captured crew are far more important.

techall, sounds like a great way to make a bad situation worse. Prostitution is not going to disappear, and military men stationed overseas will either have their prostitutes or get up to worse business.
Far better to set up some "rules of engagement". They sure would have averted this particular disaster.

Do you realize we have someone here equating this with a woman who killed two children??? Do you realize that we have people advocating the death penalty here and going unchallenged???
What he did was wrong. But not THAT wrong!
