The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Claiming that he was there to shoot people is not a fact. It is not spin. At best it is a poorly supported assumption.

Most importantly, the assumption is not supported by actual recorded video.

No gun shown by Pretti--anywhere. Except when HE does NOT have it.

A shooter would NEVER lose control of their weapon--which contracts the assumptions.

Plus, the gun is a "killer's gun". AND the gun sight is also one used by a "killer".

So, a killer with ALL the "claimed tools" AND "skills" (RN--remember?) AND able to coolly, functionally do a GOOD job in a "high stress, high pressure" environment ("killer", right?) is NOT able to do the job they claimed he planned, trained, and was prepared to do?

Their irrationality regarding their own claims means they are pretty much operating on no real facts or rationality. Tell them their kids are NEXT to be organ donors to black children in Africa and THEN watch them freak out. Take away their guns first....
