It never ceases to amaze me the absolute ignorant crap that spews from the mouths of these politicians - you don’t know what RICO is - watch a couple episodes of Law And Order for God sakes so you don’t look so stupid
Just in case anyone does not know what a RICO violation entails...
A violation of RICO occurs when a person, in connection with an enterprise, engages in a pattern of racketeering activity. Racketeering activity includes:
- Arson
- Bribery
- Counterfeiting
- Distribution of a controlled substance
- Embezzlement
- Extortion
- Gambling
- Homicide
- Kidnapping
- Mail fraud
- Money laundering
- Robbery
- Wire fraud
- Witness tampering
For RICO purposes, these are considered “predicate” offenses. A person charged with a RICO violation must have been engaging in a minimum of two predicate crimes within a 10-year time frame. These predicate offenses must also have been committed in connection with an enterprise. An enterprise may be a legal or an illegal one. It could be a corporation or a mob. The enterprise must be a discrete entity.

Display MoreI have to admit I'm putting some serious thought into purchasing one of these. There's some compelling advantages. Foremost I have two step granddaughters living with us and attending college. At times they tend to come in late unannounced. The advantage of time. I don't mind having this thing unlocked and ready to go. Liability is another big factor. So many times I'm hearing criminal rights placed above the victim. NJ sucks on gun transport, this should be exempt.
Anyone have one of these or equivalent?
This is a newer version of the old Pellet Gun... with better ammo... I like the irritant rounds... But remember from back in the day... "You're gonna shoot your eye out"

billythekidd — interested to hear your thoughts since this is in your backyard…..

I am a staunch supporter of qualified immunity for police officers as it allows LEO to do their job without fear of being sued for anything anybody “feels” they did wrong. THIS, however, is beyond the pale. If your new law in CO goes after this type of police activity I am all for it as from what I read in this article. These officers CLEARLY crossed the line and should be held accountable. My fear is that in the wake of this $4 mil judgement there will be dollar signs in every criminal’s eyes resulting in officer’s being tied up in frivolous lawsuits or even worse - just quitting. Hitting a happy medium here would seem to be the key - but as we all know happy medium is no longer a viable choice in government from the city all the way to federal levels!!From what I understand of this case the police did not have cause to enter her home... based only on the Find my phone app which only displays an area of where the phone may be not a specific location. You are absolutely correct in that they overstepped.. do I think the award like many others is too much... probably...
In regards to the law you spoke of, I do not have the fox app and cannot see what the law is. Colorado has become a bastion of liberalism.. with the current governor trying to out do Newsom as the most liberal of the bunch.. If you could please provide the Colorado bill number so I can look it up. The only one I could find was the law that went into effect in 2020 after GF... that says individual police officers that removes qualified immunity ban and would charge an officer that is found guilty the first 25,000$ of a judgement with the rest still being paid by the individual department or the state... They have had a bunch of officers throughout the state quit... and I really do not blame them for quitting. I believe to comply and show respect would avoid most of these types of incidents. In the case of this 73 or 78 year old and another one which was even more distressing.. something does need to be done.

Display MoreFrom your comments, what I believe you were actually saying, not what you wrote ... he could be quoting Shakespear in the Kings English and you would find fault because you find his presentation offensive. Strange that you see an opinion other than yours as "defense" and to do so is in some way wrong, but that's just how I perceive your artfully chosen words and draped veils... between the lines.
Or not .... I respect all opinions as long as they are honest and genuine and in no way feel the need for others to agree with me and are far to disinterested to waste my time trying to convince anyone.
.......

Honestly, I do not find his presentation offensive, I find it boring. To me he could not quote Shakespear because he would need to interject some correlation to himself in that presentation as well. I have said it before and I still say it, he was a lousy president the first time and I believe he would be a lousy president the second time. Again, that is my belief.
Examples: Claim: he created the best economy in the world... actually the US has been the number one economy for some time.
Claim: Zero inflation... actually inflation during his term was around 2%.
Claim: stopped all illegals from crossing the border, actually during his term it was lower but still had around 400,000 a year.
Claim: Andrew Jackson was persecuted just like they are persecuting Trump, actually he was persecuted for being a crony. Depending on who's history one reads President Jackson's wife had TB and did not die of a broken heart.
Goofy things like spending 5 or more minutes complaining about the teleprompters and how he should not have to pay for them. Saying he will just speak without the prompters then later again saying I cannot read the teleprompters.... Believe me, grandpa (Biden) can only speak with the teleprompters...
Claim: No Ukrainian and Israel conflicts if he were president... pure speculation.. again bolstering an enormous ego...
Claim: The Jan 6th protesters are patriots.. I guess we all have opinions about that... No reason to go on....
I should have been more clear with the defense word... I meant it to mean there should not need to be what do they call them now, "explainers" to decipher what he says (not that they don't do that for others as well) for me. I listened to his whole "speech" and to me it was rambling with a few contextual points being made several times. I heard what he said regarding the bloodbath and initially was having fun with it but truly understood its meaning. The one statement I didn't understand was the part about if he is not elected we will never have another election.... didn't get that..
I also respect all opinions and certainly do not want to try to have anyone agree with me... Just like expressing my view.. I like that for the most part this is a sensible, respectful conversation. As I said, just my opinion... and we all know the saying about opinions.

Would you rather he sugarcoat, sanitize, and run everything said through focus groups and speech writers so you are only being fed exactly what he thinks you need to hear to get elected no matter if it's what he actually thinks or will do if elected. If so....welll...there's a whole lot of others who do precisely that. Barry was a smooth talker but I'll gladly take the sometime tangents of thought from someone who's moving faster than their mouth can keep up with than being lied to. At least I can have a modicum of confidence that he is speaking his actual mind. I honestly wish everyone could hear him speak in a more intimate setting. Every single person I have met who has had that opportunity has come away with better understanding and an improved view. Myself included.

No, I wouldn’t. I would prefer that he spoke in complete sentences, and not in garbled thoughts. I truly believe he does what he does for attention. Calling Biden out loud a stupid son of a bitch serves no purpose other than to bolster an ego in my opinion, even though Biden is that. I don’t know anything sugarcoated or focus groups, but I would like some cognitive thought into what is being said, rather than bouncing all over the place with no real thought in mind. At least that’s how I perceive him.
to me, the fact that so many people are jumping up to defend him, tells me he is only doing that for his ego. Four if he spoke what he truly felt and not what he thinks people want to hear to get riled up, he would not need the defense. That’s just my opinion. -

Wow, did they run with this one! ....and the dictator one. It's a whole other issue when these media outlets absoulty know the level of falseness and still chose to ram it through over and over.
China now is building a couple of massive plants where they're going to build the cars in Mexico and think, they think, that they're going to sell those cars into the United States with no tax at the border.
Let me tell you something, to China, if you're listening, President Xi — and you and I are friends, but he understands the way I deal — those big, monster car-manufacturing plants that you're building in Mexico right now, and you think you're going to get that, you're going to not hire Americans, and you're going to sell the cars to us?
No, we're going to put a 100% tariff on every single car that comes across the line, and you're not going to be able to sell those cars if I get elected. Now, if I don't get elected, it's going to be a bloodbath for the whole — that's going to be the least of it, it's going to be a bloodbath for the country, that'll be the least of it. But they're not going to sell those cars, they're building massive factories.
it’s like I said in my original post about this, the great orator. If he would just take a minute to think before he opens his big mouth, none of this would even be an issue. But he thrives on all of the attention that he gets from saying things like that, knowing what the media will do to it.
I believe personally that he does that just so he can later say see the persecuting me. -

So much bull crap from the media and internet on both sides it’s tough to tell the real truth - with AI it’s going to be impossible unless you see whatever in person.
On to another subject - I believe this could be the Dems next move. They are stuck with Biden and have to back the OLD horse in the Nov race. There are already rumbles for Kamala Harris to step aside “for the good of the country” because she is less popular than Joe. I look for who the Dems really want to be Prez to take her place and if they win Joe just says he can’t continue for whatever reason. Gonna be a really interesting 7 months leading up to the election!!!
If one is interested... here is is speech..

More evidence of fake newsI am guessing it could be out of context... this isn't the headline, it is a quote from the Donald:
“Now if I don’t get elected, it’s going to be a bloodbath for the whole — that’s gonna be the least of it,” he added. “It’s going to be a bloodbath for the country. That will be the least of it. But they’re not going to sell those cars. They’re building massive factories.”
Later, he added, “If this election isn’t won, I’m not sure that you’ll ever have another election in this country.”

Now I am really scared... ha ha... Quote from the great orator:
“Now, if I don’t get elected, it’s going to be a blood bath for the whole — that’s going to be the least of it. It’s going to be a blood bath for the country.”
