This Guy Is Spending All Night Out In The Street For '5 Seconds' With Hillary Clinton

Can you imagine staying up all night like this idiot just to get Hillary Clinton's autograph?? LOL

Not even to get to carry her lunch pail... :-)

I can't imagine waiting more than a few minutes for anyone's autograph. I have three sports autographs. One I didn't wait a minute for, though I walked all of three blocks. The other two were at company conventions so we were there anyways. Since the later two spoke to us it was kind of a "complete the package" experience. Very neat then, less so now. I just shook my head last time my booker told me not to ask for autographs from the client.

But to those in Canada we are like what they watch on "Deadwood" or some other western, with people shooting each other on every corner because one called the other a nasty curse.

Having lived for about 5 years in the States, I know that experience isn't true. I even lived or some time in downtown Chicago (in the Loop) and downtown Hartford and was able to feel reasonably safe walking at night. My apartments and homes didn't get broken into, though my cell phone was stolen from my garage when I was living in Snohomish, WA, and my car has been broken into several times (in Canada). Not enough to shoot someone, though.

That's funny. Earlier in your post, you say that some cops are "bribe accepting SOBs", but you then state that we should entrust the same "bribe accepting SOBs" with protecting us. lol...

A few are, but I recognize that 98%+ are not, and the police force, in my opinion, represents our best hope at a just society. Obviously some other people don't feel the same way.

How are police supposed to protect someone if they aren't at the scene of the crime?

Deterrence (presence). Investigative work. Preventation programs. Heavy penalties.

I think if you are a gun rights activist you'll call him a hero. If are an advocate of gun control, you'll say that this person had a gun, tried to use it, and became another victim of gun violence.

You're the wish washy cousin of Oprah, who
is against guns, unless they're worn by her
body guards to protect her. You kinda sorta
know where you stand, but not really.

So if someone breaks into a woman's house and starts raping her, she's supposed to hope that the police are a deterrent and that the rapist will stop?

People who believe this are a perfect example of why liberalism is an EPIC FAIL.

There are people who think 911 is a defense weapon.
They're usually called 'dead victims' later. It would never
even dawn on me to call 911.
