What caught your attention in the world today?

Published

I came across this is little story today, it's not breaking news.  I suspect that a member of the housekeeping staff knows something about the bomb threat that required the sweep for weapons.

According to police in Secaucus, the bomb threat — which later was determined to be bogus — was called in to Hudson Regional Hospital on July 18. During a search, bomb detection dogs led investigators to an unlocked office closet containing dozens of firearms.

Among the weapons were 11 handguns and 27 rifles or shotguns, according to police. The closet also contained a .45 caliber semi-automatic rifle with a high-capacity magazine that was determined to be an assault rifle, and a 14-round high-capacity handgun magazine.

The arrested the guy the next day. 

What the heck do you think this guy was doing? It sounds very ominous that he was keeping those weapons there.

I said "some"... Mostly about how no one seems to care about the crime that runs rampant on a daily basis, only the big headlines.

Start your own thread on crime if it so important to you.  It's an important problem but you are obsessed to the point about it every day.  Was there a criminal incident yesterday that you could post on the politics of the day?  I'm sure you can find something inflammatory in the NY Post.  Are there still criminal riots caused by woke people in your town?

I didn't nor did the, what I'm assuming the "conservative members" refer to any specific race? 

However I will say that young black men are dying at an alarming rate in areas like Chicago. However pointing that out and being considered racist is more important than calling out the issue and trying to save some lives. 

Seems to be a common occurrence among modern democrats.

The sad part is they are not embarrassed as long as someone somewhere believes it they are happy. Some people still believe that the officer who died after the Jan.6 protest was killed by being beaten with a fire extinguisher. Some Democrat voters have an ability to believe anything they hear and lack the judgment to decide what is real or fake. Or have the skill to with religion like faith believe whatever they want.

Then you have Biden lying an constantly saying 5 officers were killed that day.

It might be instructive to note just which criminals she's talking about.

This one hurt

I wasn't even going to play into giving them the satisfaction of listing victims' names.  Especially hers.  

They're going to believe what they want to believe it's so clear.

That one did hurt. She was most likely only guilty of falling in love with a bad boy. I've been there. 

I'm not going to go into the case due to its obvious emotional scars. Or say her name.

Wow. I apologize if I come off obsessed. I did post about other things yesterday and I'm from a small town.  Not much crime here. 
I do however have a life travel and have friends. 
For the sake of the mood of this thread your opinion is noted and I appreciate it. 

oh and good morning everyone ❤️

It seems like you err or the side of mistreatment of police.  Are you a police or in law enforcement?  It's okay, I'm just curious.  Mostly because you keep strongly saying "if the person acted differently....."  like it's the person's fault.

I would hope people would not want to be beat up or murdered just to be on camera.  

No. I am not in law enforcement and I know it would absolutely be fine. 

If I have to say the difficult part out loud to save lives I will. I find it's dependent on the motive of the person expressing their opinion. 

I'm not motivated by political ideas when I say people could have acted differently.  I'm motivated by the fact that if everyone acted differently,  including police than it may turn out differently. There is many calling out the police on this thread so I do not find it necessary to assert that point. 

Yes. Police can have and will act inappropriate and commit crimes themselves. I am not blind to this. If a LEO committed a crime, then he also had a choice and should suffer the consequences.  

What I am trying to point out is that behavior in the presence of police can determine the likely outcome. You are less likely to be a victim of police misconduct if you behave a certain way. Some far left democrats will have you believe that this doesn't matter. This is statistically untrue and beyond common sense. And does nothing to save the lives of the accused. 

If I have to be the bad guy and say hey, don't act a fool when dealing with police, including being combative and/or aggressive in anyway, then so be it. I'll be the bad guy then. 

When interacting with police, assert your rights if you feel it necessary.  Do it politely and with respect. Do not verbally or physically act aggressive. Keep ypu hands visible at all times and for the love of anything, do not run, grab at their firearms, try to get their tasers or shoot at them. 

Chances are you will go home to your family alive, they will too and will have a much higher chance of holding them accountable for misconduct. 

It seems like common sense even if you believe the police are put to hurt you.....

It might be more constructive to not fixate on race. I'm assuming that's what you mean by that comment.

Actually, I had socioeconomic class in mind.

Back at ya! I did not say thousands of innocent people are being locked up, once again you are putting words into people's mouths.

 

Your posts sure do imply it.

And no conservatives remarked on this incident until now because they are just fine with people exercising their second amendment rights with semi-automatic, high capacity weapons. 

Wow, below the belt hit with this one!! If you really believe this you need to back away from the MSM. You do realize that guns do not simply walk away by themselves and shoot people right? We have had guns in this Country for quite awhile now but yet you and others don't see the problems now are the results of the devolution of our society. People are not suffering the consequences of their action in part bc of Dem policies, no cash bail, defund the police, probation and or light sentencing etc. Everyone and anyone (including police) who commit crimes should be held accountable. I am old enough to remember when high school kids (and others) drove around with guns in their trucks to go hunting/shooting after school, never had these problems then. When a 6yo brings a gun to school and shoots their teacher on purpose, when kids are killed walking to school and while sitting in their car seats etc we have a big problem that will not be solved by either limiting the rights of law abiding citizens or trying to take their guns away. Criminals will always find a way, knives, mowing down people in a car etc. Instead of constantly blaming Conservatives maybe it would be more helpful to look at what the Democrats and their policies have created. Their feel good policies aren't working!!
