Alongside 2 more mass shootings there are 2 other "wrong door" shootings;

In the first, Police responding to a domestic violence report went to the wrong house and ended up killing the man whose door they knocked on. In the other, a 16 year old black boy who was going to pick his brother up from a friend's house, went to the wrong address, rang the door bell, and was shot by the householder.

 

 

And they have released the shooter who shot the black kid. FFS he rang the wrong door bell

What was the skin colour of the man they killed when knocking the door down?

They are looking into whether the shooter is covered by the Law that permits deadly force if a person feels in imminent danger. Obviously, just the sight of a 16 year old coloured boy standing on your door step is bound to instill terror and fear for your life.

WTF? Is it 1975 again?

Better than being a racist 

Running around accusing everybody else of racism is a common deflection technique. Still, I suppose it will buy Soggy a bit of respite, so you crack on and folow me around here like a lost soul looking for justification.

Coloured is a racist term

You described someone as coloured


None of that is my fault

Very good point as soggy is someone who prides himself on calling out racism 

Although it puts Sog in a very difficult position here. As someone that calls out racism then he has to act here and side with us. Something he is going to find very hard to do.

It does actually as you have responded very angrily here 

Oh look, the Chuckle Brothers have found a new target for their childish drivel.

Crack on boys, fill your boots. Everybody on here knows you are a pair of keyboard cowards, grown out of being snivelling snarky playground annoyances.

You call people who have a different take on Ukraine, a putin shill. Soggy calls nearly everyone else a racist, yet we are the playground keyboard cowards?

I do not recall throwing names at you, despite your holier than thou (and evidently slightly racist - like soggy) views.

 

Go figure.

Calling out racism is now “childish drivel” Is it? Dear god

A woman has been shot dead in her car as she drove up onto the wrong driveway.

( For the benefit of the Gruesome Twosome, afaik she was green with blue spots ).

 

More and more mental how the yanks reach for their guns as the first action in any misunderstanding they see as conflict. Hope both the offending cunts get life sentences to send a message and hopefully act as deterrent. Will no doubt become some libertarian argument though

Whoops - Murdoch had to settle out of court for an eye watering $800m to one of the vote machine firms for broadcasting false claims on behalf of Trump and the Republicans about voter fraud. Given most of their viewers have got an IQ of a goldfish I doubt if viewer figures will fall but a nasty shock for Rupert. Lesson - don’t collaborate with fascist Presidents.

Another play straight out of the writing room for Succession. Throw money at it to make it go away, but sadly it works. Murdoch will claim that they have not been found guilty of defamation so therefore it didn’t happen. It is a shame that we didn’t have the spectacle of a court case so that Murdoch (and Trump) were given the public scrutiny they deserve. Yet again cynicism, money and power call the shots. It reminds me of when Murdoch was hauled over the coals on the phone hacking scandal. He managed to save The Sun by closing down the less influential News of the World and promptly launched The Sun on Sunday thus giving it more clout in the process. $800m is a small price for Murdoch to pay to keep his position as Kingmaker in place and to ensure that his interests come first in the most powerful nation on the planet.

More to come though.

I'm a bit more optimistic.  It's a shame FOX didn't get dragged through a court case but we've already had Murdoch, Hannity and Carlson admit they were talking bollocks about the election.  The court case wouldn't have added very much more to that.  They've been humiliated and everyone knows it.  I'd imagine they'll be more careful in the future about what they say which is only a good thing. 

The other cases will most likely be settled out of court but these are expensive settlements, even for a company like FOX.

The perp is on the run as he is known to police theough previously attacking his girlfriend with a sledgehammer. Sounds like a lovely fella and definitely someone you’d trust to be safe with a gun in his posession.

And now they've sacked Tucker Carlson, presumably damage limitation - wonder if he'd be tempted to burn Fox down on his way out, then perhaps a tilt at the presidency?

Well, they pointedly said that "his last show was on Friday" so he won't have any opportunity to control any final broadcast because he's already done it. Fox have already changed the locks.

Yes, I get that. I was thinking more that he could be called as a witness in further Fox lawsuits, and now has no obligation towards his former employer... I clicked on his Twitter hashtag earlier, and the MAGAts are fawning all over him. It's hilarious, depressing and scary all at the same time.
