"Right. The real horror here is my word choice, ..."

You are making JOKES about an injured child.

"I'm worse than Hitler!"

And who said that?
That was "Goldy", wasn't it?
So you not only make jokes about an injured child and incorrectly report it.
You also resort to hyperbole when that is pointed out.

No, you are not worse than Hitler.
You are worse than Glenn Greenwald.
You are worse than Christiane Amanpour.
They are real journalists.
You are not.
You are at the level of Rush Limbaugh.

"I can't help what you choose to infer."

You wrote:
"Another martyr to our freedom:"
"Either the US has the most suicidal toddlers in the world, or something else."

Now name a few martyrs and describe how they died and what made them martyrs.

"Since the kid survived, I guess we can just start making 'shooting one's mouth off' jokes."

YOU can make whatever jokes YOU want about an injured child.
But now you're complaining when people are pointing out that your dead baby jokes are not accurate.

It's called a mirror, Charles.
You work at The Stranger.
You can get a segment of the website dedicated to listing all the shootings in Seattle.
Even the ones where no one dies.
But you have not done that.
Ask yourself why you haven't done that.

"....But since they were predominantly African American we don't have to spend too much time talking about it."

Imagine The Stranger covering every shooting (even non-fatal) in the same area that they cover other shootings. That is, America. That would be an average of 20,000 suicides and 10,000 deaths plus at least another 10,000 non-fatal shootings. So around 40,000 incidents a year.

Over 100 a day.
But the problem would be that the majority would be suicide or non-White.
Which would not get the same page hits that the stories they do cover get.

Look at the stories that they do cover.
Look at the stories that they do not cover.

Dan, you were 100% okay with publicly advocating that our military invade Iraq to kill the "Islamo-Fascists" that you claimed were there (and any collateral kids killed in the process).
But now you're upset about each and every incident here.
So it really is not about the kids, is it?
This is about you trying to publicly promote yourself as a "good person" because you oppose the "bad people".

Even if opposing the "bad people" means advocating killing them and their children in their homes.

"No new arguments, ..."

That's the point.
There is no discussion here.
Just Goldy posting whatever the latest shooting that he thinks will bring in the page hits.
Then the same old claims are trotted out even though they've all been addressed.
Followed by "sarcasm" and personal insults.

And then the process is repeated.
Because it really isn't about the kids or the shootings.
It's about trolling for page hits consisting of people publicly showing that they are "good people" because they oppose the "bad people".

"I don't believe any of those groups were very effective, ..."

You can believe whatever you want to believe.
But the facts contradict you.

"... but more to point, that shit happened like 50 years ago!"

There is no time limit on oppression.
The government was unable or unwilling to redress the oppression.

"What have guns done for me lately?"

You seem to have a problem with reading.
I had just posted it in #32.
But if a situation arises where you need a gun, you probably won't have time to go buy one.
