US Politics

The cowardice line is just a cynical ploy to shift the discussion away from the structural problem of guns in American society to the alleged failings of a single man, in typical right-wing style.

And yeah, without seeing the footage none of us knows what happened, but I’d wager running blind into a shooting situation - rather than assessing the situation first - is not what they teach you to do at sheriff school

That and there is nothing wrong with being a coward. I'm a huge coward. I hide during paintball.

I would have been shot for cowardice in WW1. No doubts at all.

^^ This. I assume the chap hasn’t been allowed to give his story in public until the politicians have had a chance to throw him under the bus first?

He’s started to give his side in the last 24 hours. Edit: it seems that the move to blame him really got underway late last week. I think the initial comments were earlier in the week, but interest accelerated once Trump adopted the line as his own.

Broward Sheriff's Office had trained him to seek cover and assess the
situation in the event of outdoor gunfire, his lawyer said.

When police arrived, he told them he thought the gunman was outside -
a belief backed up by "radio transmissions [which] indicated that
there was a gunshot victim in the area of the football field," Mr
Peterson said.

He really does seem as though the police officer thought the gun shots/shooter was outside. So he had no reason to go into the building.

The champagne room

Remember when Trump didn’t try to help an 80 year old man who fell off the stage at an event Trump was hosting?

I said, ‘Oh my God, that’s disgusting,’ and I turned away. I
couldn’t—you know, he was right in front of me, and I turned away. I
didn’t want to touch him.

He’s bleeding all over the place, I felt terrible. You know, beautiful
marble floor, didn’t look like it. It changed color. Became very red.

If Trump was at that school he would of been the first to push women and children out the way to get out of the building.

The champagne room

He doesn’t drink but famously makes appalling wine.

Anyway, he has bone spurs on his heels so can’t run.

It's true in so far as that he admitted it on Howard Stern's radio show (those are his exact words) but given the amount of bullshit that comes out of his mouth...who knows!

Fuckin hell. It never ends does it.

People should start setting off bangers every time Trump does a public appearance to see how he reacts.

Worth reading it all

With a load of nervy SS agents around him at all times? Can you imagine the body count?

Muellers office just dropped all charges against Rick Gates after his guilty plea to those charges last week.

Does that mean he has provided Mueller's investigation with enough evidence to indict someone higher up the chain?

I don't know how to post a thread on here could someone help my lock is jammed I've Been here an hour trying to unlock my bike in on crossroads of Shoreditch high street and hackneyrd could someoene help I can afford 20 pounds

After Manafort stopped working for Trump, Gates was still employed by the campaign as an advisor. Mueller wouldn't care about Manafort, unless it's to get to Trump. I think he may have just skipped a step.

LOL. grab a lighter and heat your key up. That's a good starting point.

There is a leylands just down shoreditch high st on the corner of old st. buy wd40 and apply to lock.
