[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yet, again, fine-I'm willing to compromise that current laws can be better enforced.  Help us figure out how to do that.  Help us to figure out how to keep obvious whackos like this dude and Lanza and countless others from obtaining weapons.

But ffs, help us do something, anything, to stop this insanity.[/quote]

One of the things we can do is to stop demonizing people who report things that are suspicious.  
Remember how the teacher who reported the “clock boy” incident was treated and how this administration embraced clock boy and his family? 
This kind of nonsense really discourages others to report suspicious behavior for fear they will be raked over the coals.  [/quote]
because at some point someone will use racial profiling for innocuous situations, kind of like that elderly Indian man who was walking in a neighborhood, and someone called the cops.  The cop tackled the man, and now he's paralyzed.  All because he was walking while brown.

"In February 2015, Parker, who was responding to a "skinny black guy" walking suspiciously in a Madison, Alabama, neighborhood, encountered non-English speaking Indian national Sureshbhai Patel, who was walking near his son's house. Police dashcam video captured Parker slamming the grandfather, then 57, to the ground, leaving him partially paralyzed."[/quote]

I totally disagree with pp. There's a vast area between making sure we don't demonize those who bring up concerns, and a cop who really went off the rails for a man peacefully walking through a quiet neighborhood. [/quote]
