Witless Sheriff in Colorado won't enforce law to save lives

The headline refers to Weld County Sheriff Steve Reams, clearly the epitome of a gun nut, saying...

"he would refuse to enforce a proposed state law that would permit family members, roommates or law enforcement to ask a court take away firearms from a person deemed a potential danger to themselves or others."

In other words, he will stand by, observing, as a person displays clear tendencies  to cause harm to someone with a gun. He would not take the person's firearm as a new Colorado law would allow him to do. He said he'd rather go to jail and hopefully he does when and if the law passes, and this idiot fails to perform his sworn duties. This numb nuts added: "It's a matter of doing what's right." And this is the problem with these people...

They value their guns, weapons, firearms over the lives of human beings, including children.

The sponsor of the bill state Rep. Tom Sullivan (D), says he won't lose sleep over Reams comment. He did add...

"What I'm going to lose sleep over is, if that's the choice that they make and someone loses their life, someone in crisis goes on a shooting spree, (or) someone commits suicide" because a firearm wasn't taken from someone."

Sullivan's son was killed in the 2012 shooting at a movie theater in Aurora, Colorado.

Shoot black man first-Ask questions later

RACISM: Confront it-It's still rampant

This is the epitome of racism with the end result a completely innocent person's death. The victim was black. Not sure but think shooter was white. In the scenario a black teenager knocked on what he thought was his and his girlfriend's door at 12:30 AM, receiving no answer. Darryl Bynes, 32, inside the apartment,
didn't open the door, grabbed a gun and went onto his balcony to confront Omarian Banks, 19. After a short conversation, Bynes shot him and then told Police he shot Banks in self-defense.

Banks girlfriend, Zsakeria Mathis explained what she had heard while talking to Banks during the incident on FaceTime...

"I just hear faint voices and a gunshot, and then I hear him yell. And I heard all the fear in his voice and he was just, 'I'm sorry! I'm at the wrong door!' The man was like, 'No, you're not at the wrong door!' And he shot two more times and then it was silent."

 Darryl Bynes had not even been confronted face-to-face with Omarian Banks at this point. The latter was downstairs in the parking lot headed to his car, posing absolutely no threat to Bynes, but the gun nut shot the young man from his balcony in what appears to be cold blood. And it was all a huge mistake when Lyft let Banks off at the wrong apartment entrance and he was confused because he and his girlfriend had just moved in.

This all happened in Atlanta and Darryl Bynes is charged with murder.

Anti-vaxxers identified by area-SEE

Merit badge of anti-vaxxers

These uninformed, mentally challenged people are spread all over the U.S., unfortunately, but NBC has nailed down the most prolific geography. Nassau-Suffolk is the highest concentration with 14.2% with at least one parental vaccination refusal. The national refusal rate is 3.3 percent. Bloomington, IL. is the lowest with 5.3%. In between are Texas, Colorado, Michigan, New Jersey, more New York, Washington state, Arizona and Oregon.

It would be horrendous if a regional epidemic of measles, mumps and chickenpox broke out in the northeast with the density of its population. As an example, there are 26,403 people per square mile in New York City compared to 3,165 people per square mile in Phoenix. AZ. In New York, they are continuously bumping into each other spreading germs, which would also apply to New Jersey and up and down the East coast.

The CDC reports that more than 310 cases of measles have been reported in the U.S. so far this year, compared with 372 for all of 2018. If you crunch the numbers, based on the results so far, we could have 1,240 total. Crude but possible when you consider the stupidity of these parents that refuse to immunize their children. The most terrifying part of this whole scenario is, the science community had virtually wiped out all these diseases.

Until a gang of idiots saw fit to reintroduce them to the world.

U.S. could be so lucky if Democrats shut down NRA

Who else? Wayne LaPierre

Wayne LaPierre, National Rifle Assn.'s head gun nut is whining that the group may be"shut down forever" thanks to Democrats. Nothing could make millions of Americans happier than if this gang of gun violence perpetrators bit the dust, and all of their trash propaganda with them. But I don't really believe they are this close to tanking, rather, LaPierre is simply appealing to his double-digit gun nut minions who apparently believe anything he says and will give up their money.

There is some concern from the fact that...

"New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, a Democrat who last year directed state regulators to 'urge insurance companies, New York State-chartered banks, and other financial services companies licensed in New York to review any relationships they may have with the National Rifle Association.'"

And Cuomo isn't giving up, with more good news from LaPierre...

“Cuomo’s tactics are already working. One by one, more and more banks and insurance companies across the country are knuckling under to Cuomo’s threat — and telling NRA they won’t do business with us — because they don’t want to be targeted and crushed by Cuomo’s strong-arm tactics and the vast power of thousands of New York bureaucrats.”

Gun control advocates should be dancing in the streets, but, with caution. I wouldn't trust Wayne LaPierre under any circumstances, nowhere, not never. But cutting into the NRA's finances is an excellent start as LaPierre commented further...

“The attack on the NRA is unprecedented. This call to action is real. If left unchecked, the actions of Gov. Cuomo would damage the NRA’s ability to access certain financial and insurance services—hurting its financial position and impacting its ability to advocate for members..."

We can only hope.

Radical right will always be radical...just not too bright

Many of the radical right are basically fanatics. You can tell who they are by the fact that when all of the info is there proving that they are wrong, they see only what they want to see. Like anti-vaxxers, and Donald Trump supporters. It's hard to tell if they have lost their way or are just too dumb to see the truth. The philosopher George Santayana had this thought...

"Fanaticism consists in redoubling your efforts when you have forgotten your aim."

Both categories, above, have probably lost sight of their original aim but have been caught up in the stupidity of their movement, and keep plodding ahead in a futile bliss that seems to keep them going until they literally destroy themselves plus those close to them. And the sooner we get rid of them, the better.

Don't want no stinkin' Electoral College

The above is the decision of the American public, according to a new Politico/Morning Consult poll. 50% want a popular vote, 34% still prefer the Electoral College. This is how the Electoral College works...

"a group of people that elects the president and the vice president of the United States. ... When voters head to the polls, they do not vote for the presidential candidates directly, in a popular vote. Instead, they vote to elect specific people, known as “electors” to the college."

And there is the "stinkin'" part, turning our vote over to another body. Because Hillary Clinton wasn't watching the store in 2016, Donald Trump was elected to the White House by the Electoral College. This fact, on its own, should be enough to demand an end to the College before 2020. Republicans prefer the EC 2 to 1 over the popular vote, in my estimation because they can manipulate this body, just like they do in gerrymandering.

This all came about in the Constitution to ensure that smaller states would get equal representations in elections. There has been such a huge increase in population since then, it is time to bid the Electoral College goodbye.
