Why is it hard for some people to understand, respect and friendship is earned.
Disrespect and hatred is also earned.

Not to hard to understand that.

In this instance, the rock thrower was jeopardizing the lives of all the motorists on the street. Any one of those drivers could have easily steered into a head-on collision or veered off into a pedestrian.

The above hypothetical represents a high probability of death to multiple individuals in terms of vehicular death. Buddy may as well as been shooting a gun randomly in a populated area.

Cops did their job in protecting the people at large from this idiot that didin't have a clue, or care, about the ramifications of his actions.... I fail to see why I should give a rat's azz about him

Hypothetically, if time permitted, they could have closed off traffic to the street. But time may not have permitted in this case.

Unless they cornered him in a quarry with cortisone shoots laying around, he would have ran out of rocks or pooched his arm.

I'm pretty certain that well trained people with a half decent I.Q. do just fine in the moment.

our parliament a while back would be a good example...Kevin Vickers assessed and responded ALONE without a flak jacket and handled things

this guy has a rock and three numb nuts couldn't figure out what to do...pathetic

But as I said to Walter, the lower the expectation is for public servants the dumber they are.

no wonder all these people on here want to arm up for when the cops come for them...these three will be at the fore front...

Well you see there are laws making government agencies hire representative numbers of society. So if %10 of society are morons then that is what you will find in all government agencies.

As Cannuck so kindly stated before, I would trust a University educated geneticist, over some 3rd rate Regina red neck dirt farmer ...

Jews Are a 'Race' Genes Reveal

I'm unable to respond to this case specifically, BUT it wouldn't be unheard of that a "red neck Regina dirt farmer" has more common sense than a university graduate! Unfortunately, I've never heard of a learning institution that teaches common sense.

Cops shooting people chucking rocks is the norm in Israel. Why doesn't that upset Boomer?

I don't know what a person who decides to throw rocks at people should receive as punishment BUT a smart rock thrower would embark on it knowing full well there is no limit to what the result will be.

Again, to ask people to assume responsibility for their actions would be a much to masculin thing to ask in this feminist sociaty. :)

A few years back a young fellow I know was driving by Nanaimo when some peckerhead dumped a boulder off an overpass and through his windshield. Crippled him for life. Don't know if they ever caught the little bastared or not but a slow death would be appropriate punishment.

Similar happen to my folks. Some idiot kids tied a rim to a rope and hung it off an overpass. Mom had to have surgery after her cheekbone shattered.
