Okay but all the victims are cops so...

Was reading a post from a gun owner about reasons to have a gun, standard bullshit, but he ended it with "of course, it's worth noting that the main thing having a gun in your house does is astronomically increase the chances that you or one of your loved ones will be shot with it."

It's the little things.

Nicetown

[McParadigm]

Narcotics officers had been attempting to serve an arrest warrant at the house around 4:30 p.m. when shots rang out and a gun battle erupted, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports. Two officers got trapped on the second floor of the house, along with two people who were handcuffed, as the gunman fired from the first floor into the ceiling, police said.

Celebrate drug dealers shooting cops

[BurtReynolds]

Well somebody's gotta get shot.

So they showed up to serve a warrant and next thing you know he’s neutralized a half dozen and trapped others upstairs?

This might be Rambo.

So "what you so long celebrate drug dealers shooting cops"? Is that your full question?

[Mickey]

Anyway, if you can't delineate between merely noting that the victims--none of whom are expected to die--are police officers and celebrating their injuries, then I certainly wouldn't expect you to grasp the (important) difference between, say, the El Paso style mass shooting which has been in the news and in discussion here as of late, and narcotics officers serving a warrant in a high-crime neighborhood of Philadelphia being shot in the line of duty. You brought up "root causes" a few pages back, I think it's quite safe to say that there is a different root cause here.

If, in the context of the Micky account's posts, you think this quote actually ends with anything outside the range of "who cares?" to "they deserved it" you aren't paying attention. He thinks it's clever to try and bait us into this exact exchange by setting up an "oh golly-gosh, little old me didn't meant that" post. Call it out and move on.

Excellent intellectual strategy. What you so long
