J-Fled's Twisted Logic
Evidently, our brainy Supernintendo never took Logic 101. Otherwise he might understand that just because A and B are present, C isn't necessarily preordained. He unleashed this screamer at Sunday's press conference:
At the same news conference, Weis said a Country Club Hills woman who was shot during a heated card game might have still been alive if there had not been a gun in her friend's Calumet Heights home. Patricia Clark was shot multiple times Thursday after an argument with her friend, who went into a back bedroom, grabbed a gun and fired. Clark, 51, died Saturday.
"What a horrible loss of life over a card game," Weis said. "This is why it's so dangerous to have weapons in the house. People get upset, they get angry. ... If that gun wasn't in the house, there's probably an excellent chance that woman would be alive today."
How about this for a supposition:
- If there wasn't a deck of cards in that house, there's an excellent chance that woman would be alive today.
Honest to pete, we almost choked to death on our Sunday chips and beer after hearing this stupidity. We mean, we understand J-Fled has to toe the company line working for the delusional midget, and $330,000 buys Shortshanks a lot of liberty with J-Fled's diminishing credibility, but geez. How good does that ass really taste?

this is how you lose credibility with the troops
Phil Schitz says if the gun wasn't there, the kitchen knife would of been used. You're right SCC, outlaw the cards.
If Elmer Fudd was our superintendent we would have a boss with some brains
Personally, I would like to congratulate our wonderful retired FBI overlord.
Monday afternoon I biked a good portion of our amazing lakefront. Just north of North Avenue I encountered five(5)blue shirts walking down the path. About a block later I saw a cop on horseback. Another block later in the North Avenue beach parking lot I saw an oversized wagon waiting for any troublemakers. At Olive Park, just north of Navy Pier, was a canine unit.
Now once I got south of Oak Street Beach I saw ZERO police presence out to McCormick Place where the FD Memorial is.
Thank you, Superintendent Weis. The amazing grasp of tactical deployment that you and your command staff has insured that trouble will not likely occur from Oak Street to North Avenue.
Now the rest of the lakefront... eh that might be another story.
Now I suspect one or two exempt members, and I do mean M E M B E R s, of the department may read this silly, relatively unknown blog.
If so I suggest you put on your thinking caps and invest in some prostate saving recumbent bikes for the "warriors" that work the lakefront.
http://lightfootcycles.com/ranger.php
Perhaps even a recumbent trike.
I ride a recumbent. Which is not as fun as riding Meghan Fox, but it does the job.
Just because the exempt staff suffers from erectile dysfunction doesn't mean the average cop has to.
Now get to work and order the bikes from Vanecko Cycles.
Maybe we're just looking at this the wrong way. Maybe Weis wants to be the next Chief of Police for Country Club Hills.
Why else would he meddle in, and comment on, someone else's town???
Oh, and the job only pays $115,000 a year.

SCC,
How about a post on British Petroleum and their destruction of the Gulf of Mexico?
The reality is that the leak is the worst ecological disaster in the history of the world.
The Exxon Valdez tanker spill was the worst disaster in North America, until this BP oil well disaster.
The BP spill is generating an oil spill the size of the Exxon Valdez every 2.5 days. This is UNREAL!
They have turned off the cameras, they have effectively lied about everything.
US President Barack Hussein Obama, is totally lying and ignoring the worst ecological disaster in world history.
BP, dumps two tons of poisonous toxic waste into Lake Michigan everyday at the Whiting, Indiana BP Refinery. This is done with the approval of the Federal and state government and is within 10 miles of the Chicago Water Department intake crypt, for our water.
British Petroleum is the largest supporter of the International Carbon Tax and dictates all laws through their puppet rulers.
BP, is NO GOOD! Don't buy their gasoline, their oil or anything they produce!
Wake Up People!!!
America is being destroyed by these SOCIALIST CORORATISTS!
REGISTER TO VOTE< BE INFORMED< FIGHT FOR YOUR COUNTRY!!!
Nice summation SCC... A real knee-slapper when you look at it that way!
It adds up to the same thing even if the victim would have been stabbed in the neck with a #2 pencil, strangled with a shoe lace, beaten to death with a bag of dum-dums or bludgeoned into the here after with a colossal yam in a tube sock.
Just having the time of our lives watching the Shorty & j-fled Singing, Dancing and Gyrating Magical Crime Stats Show (the shit these fools pull with numbers is enough to make a mob bookie weep with joy) while Chicago goes up in flames.
These two fools should be running and crying in their sleep if they're getting any at all.
They're willing to pay the price for the costing the Police control of the streets in hope of a major incident not occurring until they've achieved the reduced head-count they're after.
(We hear 5k total and every promotion from Sgt. and above being a "beauty pageant."
Certain select alderfools trying to position themselves to get their cocks wet with the impending private security bonanza, aka privatization of a goodly portion of current Police functions. We posted some months ago regarding potential exploitable loopholes in state law. These muthafuckahs have the conscience of vampires.... Soul-less, parasitic, opportunistic, worm-eaten/fly-blown, decaying alive and they cast no shadow or reflection.)
They are the moral equivalent of a skull on a stick.
Gotta Run! Good night for a barrel strength bourbon & Dr. Pepper.
None for you j-fled! You lemon headed gump!
People kill people. Guns Don't kill people. Just a thought...... I guess since guns are so BAD, we should ban, knives, baseball bats, spoons, forks, bedframes (Van Der Sloot) rope, twine, string, needles, nailguns, nail files, stiletto heels, hammers, chainsaws, woodchippers, women's cuban stockings, t-ball posts, bathtubs (Petersons 2nd wife), pipes, etc etc etc..............
We would all be living in a bubble.. And the average citizen would be slaughtered by even MORE record numbers.........It has been proven time and time again the states with CCW have the least amount of GUNSHOT violence. Miami went 4 months last year without a single HOMICIDE.........Geeze I wonder why??? CCW....... That's why. Dude has to think twice before he tries to rob or kill the average Joe.
Look at Europe.....they are basically forbidden to own a gun.... BUT, death by knives are UP big time. Where there is a will there is a way.
I guess i am bitching because i like my paper plates and plastic forks and knives and don't want them to be illegal because they could be used in a commission of a crime.
Get a grip JFLED and I am not talking about gripping MASTERS TOOL......... PEOPLE KILL PEOPLE, where there is a will there is a way!
SCC, you couldn't have said it better than anyone else here.
My best guess is that J-Fled and MASTERS are tossing the Mayor's salad jointly! But don't tell that to Masters while he's busy brown-nosing Shortshanks; Masters has deluded himself into thinking he's the brains of that outfit.
Bring back the gambling uint!
J-Fled is the perfect example of the fact that you don't have to have a fucking brain to be in the FBI or head a large city police department. All you have to have is clout! This is just sickening, but it's the reality we live in.
Had a domestic involving a pack of scott peterson polish sausage. Wife got mad cause husband fried the sausage in oil instead of boiling it so she decided to splash the grease all over his chest causing 3rd degree burns and multiple skin grafts. So according to J.W. if there was no oil, no pan, no polish sausage there would be a good chance that the victim would not have been burned?
J-Fed is just repeating the company line..... DALEY's guy.....
Voting time my freinds and they will all be gone!
This guy is so stupid that's IT'S FUCKING SCARY! What ANOTHER dumb comment to make. I know 100's of people with guns in their homes and they don't shoot their friends. How can he be the supt. of police? WOW!!! Between this dumb comment and the one about "how the police will have to assume there is a gun in every home on a domestic call if the gun ban is overturned," I don't know which one is dumber. I can't believe this guy was a boss with the FBI.
haha he has to kiss ass to keep his job. I kinda feel sorry for the guy he has to swallow his pride along with all his opinions in order to be on the drunk midgets good side. I won't complain about him tho he has done more for us than any other sup. We got the trucks, 4 on 2 off, ar 15's, and those pocket size lugers. Who ever thought we would ever have radios to listen to during our tour.
OT
"The police often question him just because they find him interesting," "His beard alone has experienced more than a lesser man's entire body," "His blood smells like cologne."
No mention by J-Fled of the old man who defended himself and his family when the armed burglar broke into his home, only this bullshit.
Yes, the taste of Shortshanks' ass must be quite nice to J-Fled. He likes to toss that salad. Mmmm, good.
if his words weren't quoted to him, i'd have assumed it was short shit speaking them.
The tortured "logic" of J-FLED:
Just more of the "magic" thought process of a hypocritical, lying coward.
and a cop-killer wouldn't be dead as doornail if there hadn't been "a gun in the house".
weis's idiotic statement right off the heels of the cold-blooded murder of honorable CPD Officer Thomas Wortham???
how dare weis insult the intelligence of Chicago community in such a manner?
does this moron actually think Chicago citizens don't see through him and his undeserved $300,000 a year paycheck?
with this kind of disrespectful remark, he's not only BACKSTABBING every member of the Chicago Police Department, but also every citizen of this city. this political hack CPD superintendent should immediately take a pay cut to $0, and take his deposed xxx on a permanent hike on some unpatrolled portion of our infested lakefront.
Next Daley is going to try to outlaw all playing cards & dice
in the city. Good because that should really cut down on the murder rate.
besides what is J-Fled worried about? That is an INSIDE homicide
and he already said those are unpreventable.
Whenever this J-Fled even opens his mouth, I get a migraine.
Socrates suggested the delusional coward try a cup of hemlock for optimum results.
Regarding Elmer Fudd, don't you mean "bwains?"
Without a doubt those are shortshits words coming out of j-fleds mouth.The GOOF cant even speak for himself.He must really love the feel of the midgets fingers up his ass pulling those strings.
YOU FUCKING PUPPET.
I/F
The same logic applys in the middle east, they use car bombs, outlaw, wait for it......... cars, simple!
what a ass kissing guy, he has no balls,when your tenor, is over as the big boss. how will you look at yourself in the mirror.you will walk or run, down the street,can you wave to a cop and say hello, no they will look at you as a two faced ass kisser.remember the same people you meet going up. you will meet going down. this is so true,you are that man? in the mirror.
So let me see, your Superintendent of Police advocates because someone uses a gun illegally, I should not have any further right to keep and bear arms if necessary to protect my family from violent criminals? This kind of thinking is why your CPD has a leadership crisis. But remember, the failure of leadership in the city starts on the 5th floor at City Hall. This is exactly what Daley thinks. The reality of course is most people, honest citizens OR hood rat criminals know better than to believe that nonsense. In your career J-FLED you swore an oath and included in it was to uphold the constitution. The right of citizens to keep and bear arms is part of that constitution as you and humpty dumpty Daley are about to find out. Asshat.
Gentlemen you are missing the Point.

You can have a gun, or you can have a temper, but you can't afford to have both.
When there is a homicide, the story never changes, it's about money, drugs or sex.
These liberal ass wipes are always quick to say that there have been a couple of incidents involving firearms where they have concealed carry. A couple of incidents! We have more than that in Chicago where most firearms are illegal each week!
Alderman Moore was on WLS Sunday night, that boy needs to be spayed. What a friggin leftist.
When did it become fashionable to be so stupid in public?
HE IS BEGGING TO GET RE-HIRED!
HE KNOWS NO OTHER CITY IS GOING TO WANT HIM AS A CHIEF OF POLICE AFTER HIS STINT WITH THE C.P.D.
WHO TAKES A PAY CUT IF HE IS A TERRORIST SPECIALIST!
DEPT OF DEFENSE
NSA
ICE
THEY DONT NEED HIS GREAT SKILLS?
IF U EVER GET FED TRAINING U WILL NOTICE THAT THEY ALL CLAIM TO BE SPECIALIST JUST BECAUSE THEY HAVE WORKED A CASE OR 2.
LOOK FOR MORE UNITS TO BE SENT TO THE STREETS IN UNIFORM, J-FLED IS GRABBING FOR STRAWS.
ALSO LOOK FOR CAMERAS TO BE INSTALLED AT ANY HEATER CASE LOCATIONS THE DAY AFTER A MURDER.
ARE LUNK HEAD SUPE IS PLAYING WHACK-A-MOLE WITH PEOPLES LIVES AND HE IS NOT ALL THAT GOOD AT IT!

Yeah, right...How much do you make? Who's the dummy now?
How about this? If the storefront Revs, of which she was one, would soften their stance on gambling boats, she may have drowned instead of being shot to death, or at least had the homicide credited to Indiana
This guy is so stupid and such a puppet that he's sure to get a renewal on his contract. Heaven help us.
I guess burglars can blame the building/house/car for their crimes.
Something is wrong with this guy.
I hope shorty sharts so we can finally see proof and visually see the sycophants!
REMEMBER IN NOVEMBER! VOTE!
A fine example of douchebaggery.
It's chips and 'adult beverages' SCC, not 'beer'
The point is moot. The gun ban is still in effect and yet this woman is dead from being shot by another woman. How is this possible? The ban failed from day one. It is not possible to ban an item legal or not, just look at the drug trade. The ban was never about guns anyway. It was about controlling people and we can't control people who don't want to be controlled. The woman is dead because of criminal behavior and(I wouldn't doubt)lot's of alcohol and drugs that day. Yet they blame an inanimate object and not the criminal.
How about this for a supposition:
* If there wasn't a deck of cards in that house, there's an excellent chance that woman would be alive today.
How about this for a supposition:
* If there wasn't a coward occupying the Superintendent's Office the streets would be much safer.
J-Fled and Shortshanks.
Time to ban bricks!
No longer useful for building buildings, they're now used as 'terror weapons':
Woman Hit By Brick On CTA Bus:
'I Was In Shock'
Rider Was Struck In Face But Is Recovering; Man Arrested Shortly After Attack
Reporting
Pamela Jones
CHICAGO (CBS) ―
A woman who was injured when someone threw a brick through a CTA bus window says she was "somebody at the wrong place, wrong time." But the victim is recovering.
Irvin Brown has been charged in connection with the brick-throwing incident that injured two CTA riders last week.
Sorry SSC, but I gotta disagree with you on this one. First off, I agree that the gun ban is a waste of effort, one that penalizes the law-abiding and one that is ignored by the law-breaking. And I agree that Weis is making his statement solely to support the Mayor's stance on handguns.
But the truth of the matter is that the availability of guns to people with poor foresight and zero impulse control is a huge contributor to the murder rate. It takes a lot longer to get a knife into a person's chest or a rope around their throat than it does to pull a trigger, and in such cases the victim has a chance to defend themselves while the offender has a chance to listen to the voice in their head that, hopefully, is saying, "hey, do you reallyh want to kill this woman over a freaking poker game?"
You play a significant role in setting the stage for debate here, SSC, and I commend you for it. Calling Weis out for backing City Hall's stance on this is noted, and appropriate, in my opinion. But to suggest that a deck of cards was just as responsible for this murder as the gun was reflects too strongly your own bias.
Yes, the cards might have made the murder, in the mind of one, appropriate (in the twisted logic of the shooter), but it was the gun that made it possible.
This man is an absolute puppet. If you look closely you can see the strings. The man pulling the strings is.........?
He tells us the obvious. "Murdering Children In The Streets, Is Terrible"
"The Homicide Rate Continues To Challenge Us"
No Shit Chief,,,,,He sounds more and more like the political person he really is.
SCC,
check out this clip from American Dad, it's hilarious and pretty dead on. maybe you can put it up, cuz a good laugh does a body good
http://splodetv.com/video/guns-don%2526%2523039%3Bt-kill-people...
I think J-Fled needs to see this...
Listen Da Mayor and JFLED have hundreds of gun carrying office workers , CAPS Officers , CAPS SGT,
AREA GUN LT , light duty officers, full duty officers working gate at homan square , police headquarters .
911 has private security protecting our life line
hire civilians for review , get rid of lts assigned to areas
cpd needs more sgts and police officers, how about et's
Lacking a gun the offender probably would have used a knife, a chair, the Hog Head Gin bottle the women were sharing during their game……
Guns don’t kill, people do.
If we want to use J-Fled logic then Ted Kennedy’s car has killed more people then my gun has. Shall we therefore ban cars too ?
When the cards, poker chips and booze come out, the pistols should go into the lock box. Thats how it works in my house. When I recently had some doubts about someones mental state, my snub quickly went into the lock box. And that is where it stayed until this visitor left my premises.
OT supt and command staff
cpd needs police officers on the street now , working beat cars
we do not need caps officers , police office workers
hire back retired officers to work police headquarters swecurity , homan square security , erps , records section and district desk , review officer , crossing guard supervisor
lets be honest review , caps officers and crossing guard supervisor is a part time 4 -5 hour a day assignment
everyone knows this except JFLED and his civilian staff of leaders
that's all gotta run
Intelligent and have brains to run a big city police department? Not in Chicago you don't. We have not had a really good, intelligent superintendent since Fred Rice. The people who followed him were nothing but clout heavy suckasses who turned the police department into patronage heaven.
if she wasn't accepting link this would have never happened. if she had a job, this would have never happened
i took part in a fiendly game of cards with 2 dozen police,all armed,drinking refreshments,eatin brats,burgers n dogs and at the end of the nite there were 1st,2nd and 3rd place winners. but no one got shot. hmmmmm
the bullshit with this guy goes on and on--- we should all chip in and buy possum head a one way ticket on a slow boat to china--- j-fled, mcmumbles, and masters, three blind mice, three blind mice....
scc, just an thought. If someone can or already has compiled a list of J-Fled's dumbest comments, how about a top ten list???
I'm thinking "gotta run" should be top 5 at least.

To All:
Read the following article that connects the dots and the money on the BP disaster..
Go to www.freerepublic.com and read the L.A. Times article, "The ties that bind. Remember Rahm Emanuel's free D.C. apartment? The owner: a BP adviser."
Read the article and commentary...information you will not see in any socialist newspapers/Chicago rags.
Check www.freerepublic.com daily for the FACTS...
He Jody, if you are gonna use an example why don't you use the 1 year old sitting in the baby-daddy's car at 1AM while the gangbangers were hun ting him for dope money instead of the fat slob drunk at a card game in the middle of the night, oops I think it's the same thing. Well keep looking I'm sure you will find a good example somewhere.
What credibility?
How 'bout this Mr. Potato Head? Maybe if the biotch didn't CHEAT at cards she'd still be with us.
Had a good domestic where the dude was pissed at ole girl and he proceeds to sink the claw end of a hammer into the back of her skull while she slept!!!! But he bought the hammer all legit at the Home Depot!!! Maybe the background didn't come back on the 3 day waiting period for that hammer!
By the way the woman did live but with a rather large section of her skull and brain missing. And the order of protection had just expired!!! Had she got the new order of protection she might not have had her head caved in!!!
Is it just me, or does J-Fled never seem to look like a police superintendent? One day he's wearing stripped polo shirts, hard work wear jackets, the next. rarely have I seen a press conference with J-Fled that I can take seriously with him looking like he just walked out of a barbecue.

There are long-time bosses, and those Jody promoted himself with the approval of Shorty as well as Blueshirts that are praying for an act of God to save what's left of the CPD and we can start to rebuild.
A. She was shot and killed with a gun.
B. If there had not been a gun available, then
C. She would not have been shot and killed with a gun.
Not a perfect syllogism, but more logical than some of the lunacy I have read on this blog.
This was also an insider kill. So, the mayor is not responsible, which is all that really counts.
025 today: A shopkeeper takes out 1 of 2 bad guys on the 5900 block of Fullerton. 1 more POS who will not rob or kill again!
Another citizen who deserves our support and gratitude!
His "policy group" advisers should advise him that comments like that aren't made by real police officers or even smart citizens for that matter. At least his policy group advisors are kind of the police.
Kudos to all the community service the NW side pawn shop did today by killing the thug who attempted to rob the business man of his lively hood.

And that's just what the media thinks of Obama. They didn't ask me, I'd have given them the taxpayers version. Every week there's a new tax being brought up so they can separate me from even more of my money so they can spend it on their programs. When my expenses exceed my income. I slow down on my spending. I wish someone would tell these damn politicians that that is the way to balance ones budget. You just don't give yourself a raise.
A woman who was injured when someone threw a brick through a CTA bus window says she was "somebody at the wrong place, wrong time." But the victim is recovering.
--------------
I'm so sick of hearing that, "Wrong place, wrong time" shit. Why is it when you are where you need to be to do what you have to, some nit-wit says, wrong place, wrong time.
why even lift him up by acknowledging his existence. we should BOYCOTT WEIS
Yes, the cards might have made the murder, in the mind of one, appropriate (in the twisted logic of the shooter), but it was the gun that made it possible.
--------------
And just what did the gun do that made this possible? A gun can't do anything on its own, it needs a person to anything. I am so sick of you people and your guns are bad mentality. When nirvana comes (I'm sure it's just around the corner, the messiah is in the white house and will make it possible) and no one needs anything, no one wants for anything and no one wants to take something from someone else, that which is not theirs, when we all can control our impulses and not commit violent acts, then you can ban firearms and when you can amend the US Constitution to prohibit firearms. Until then, shut the hell up with that nonsense.
I'm fairly old now and if 2 or 3 thugs decide to make me their victim, what the hell am I to do? Call dial a prayer, 911? Oh, I know, run like hell and pray these young monsters can't catch me? No, if flight is possible, I will consider that option, if standing my ground with my firearm seems like the best choice, then I will choose what I will do and I'd like to be able to choose what I will do WITHOUT your damn interference because you aren't the one that might die there, I am.
How can we survive as a people with all theses cowards among us?

SCC,
How about a post on British Petroleum and their destruction of the Gulf of Mexico?
The reality is that the leak is the worst ecological disaster in the history of the world.
The Exxon Valdez tanker spill was the worst disaster in North America, until this BP oil well disaster.
The BP spill is generating an oil spill the size of the Exxon Valdez every 2.5 days. This is UNREAL!
They have turned off the cameras, they have effectively lied about everything.
US President Barack Hussein Obama, is totally lying and ignoring the worst ecological disaster in world history.
BP, dumps two tons of poisonous toxic waste into Lake Michigan everyday at the Whiting, Indiana BP Refinery. This is done with the approval of the Federal and state government and is within 10 miles of the Chicago Water Department intake crypt, for our water.
British Petroleum is the largest supporter of the International Carbon Tax and dictates all laws through their puppet rulers.
BP, is NO GOOD! Don't buy their gasoline, their oil or anything they produce!
Wake Up People!!!
America is being destroyed by these SOCIALIST CORORATISTS!

What I don't understand is who the hell gave the British rights to drill for oil in OUR COUNTRY? All those billions of dollars just sold away to another country while we BUY oil. I am disgusted by the whole situation.
using "if"
requires the subjunctive "were"
If there weren't...
if my 55 year old grammar still exists ???
I'm not really sure anymore, I just don't think jfled is playing with a full "deck"
and that's a "shot".

It's called "blaming the victim." Got the populace so well trained that they're echoing it when something happens to them.
Tried a little experiment in conversation this weekend and it worked again. You are an oddball if you lock things up, and you will get hostile responses; if you tell a story about how all your tools were stolen, it's har-de-har-har and you're one of the guys.
It's all abnormal, backwards -- part of the Great Inversion of Right and Wrong.
Just like that smartass on here who made some remark after I reported the difficulty of even getting a small refund from a supermarket these days. What's the point -- "Man up and take the hit?" That's stupid. I contacted the regional office, and you can bet I got my money back.
There were some other beneficial changes at the place too -- intrusive "guard" vanished, uniforms back on everyone else, and checkers keeping their mouths shut and ringing the sale correctly instead of yelling he-say-she-say back and forth like you weren't even there.
Did this before at another store nearby (all the big places are the same now) and Mr. 19-year-old-know-it-all-checker suddenly wasn't behind the register indoors in the warmth anymore, talking up the pretty Spanish-girl baggers and ringing up mistakes. He was out in the cold rain with a safety vest and a long strap, dragging eight squealing, wobbling shopping carts at a time back uphill through the parking lot to the store.
I got a nice letter from the manager, too. Funny.
You can make a difference, but you gotta do something.
If Elmer Fudd was our superintendent we would have a boss with some brains

6/08/2010 07:19:00 AM

A. She was shot and killed with a gun.
B. If there had not been a gun available, then
C. She would not have been shot and killed with a gun.
Not a perfect syllogism, but more logical than some of the lunacy I have read on this blog.
This was also an insider kill. So, the mayor is not responsible, which is all that really counts.

The most dangerous items in many south and west side neighborhoods are decks of cards and dice. Always seems to be shootings around card and dice games. Maybe someone ought to do a study.
On a warm summer's evenin' on a train bound for nowhere,
I met up with the gambler; we were both too tired to sleep.
So we took turns a starin' out the window at the darkness
'Til boredom overtook us, and he began to speak.
He said, "Son, I've made my life out of readin' people's faces,
And knowin' what their cards were by the way they held their eyes.
so if you don't mind my sayin', I can see you're out of aces.
For a taste of your whiskey I'll give you some advice."
So I handed him my bottle and he drank down my last swallow.
Then he bummed a cigarette and asked me for a light.
And the night got deathly quiet, and his face lost all expression.
Said, "If you're gonna play the game, boy, ya gotta learn to play it right.
You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em,
Know when to walk away and know when to run.
You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table.
There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealin's done.
Ev'ry gambler knows that the secret to survivin'
Is knowin' what to throw away and knowing what to keep.
'Cause ev'ry hand's a winner and ev'ry hand's a loser,
And the best that you can hope for is to die in your sleep."
When he'd finished speakin', he turned back towards the window,
Crushed out his cigarette and faded off to sleep.
And somewhere in the darkness the gambler, he broke even.
But in his final words I found an ace that I could keep.
You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em,
Know when to walk away and know when to run.
You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table.
There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealin's done.

And I do not understand when a retiree waves bye-bye and relocates to a state that taxes their pension, such as Indiana or Wisconsin.
There are guns everywhere and they are not going to disappear. If, as the demegogues want us to believe, guns automatically lead to deaths, then the homicide count would be in the hundreds of thousands or millions. The real question is why some who have access to guns kill illegally and others with the same access do not. Get off this nonsense about the deck of cards and raise the right question. It would be better to limit the vitriol and the vulgarity and raise legitimate questions which make that little prick stutter. (Sorry, I couldn't help it.)
Cpdcoppurr said... Miami went 4 months last year without a single HOMICIDE.........Geeze I wonder why???
How about they only have 400,000 people? And 59 murders in 2009. How's that for your comparative murder rate with Chicago? 15 versus 18, or so? BIg difference? No. And Miami's overall violent crime rate is 10% higher than here.
Your selective conclusions only make it harder to convince those in the middle.

Time for another turn-in program. Bag of red-hots for every pair of dice, sixer of grape pop for a deck of cards. Pair of latest silly $300 Nike sneakers for a whole illicit pool table.
Mayor, revs posing in front of mountain of dice to be ground up and "recycled" as children's playlot equipment, etc.
"the gun made it possible" ???
you nitwit
you mean like the edge of the cliff made it possible for the man to be pushed off???
what planet are you from?
OHHH I get how this works next time I spell a word wrong ill blame the pen! Thankgod I thought I was dumb for "minuet" there.
