In a statement released by Edward Waters University, the school said that an unidentified male was on campus on Saturday, and that the person had refused to identify himself to an on-campus security officer and was asked to leave.

The individual returned to their car and left campus without incident, the statement reads, adding that the encounter was reported to the Jacksonville Sheriff

Just catching up with the story.  Did they match that guy to the DG shooter?  A lot more people could have died if he had remained on the campus.  And yet another shooting where the perp is emboldened by wearing body armor - makes me wonder if that would be something bannable.  The Second Amendment doesn't say anything about body armor.
Let us ban anything and everything we use for protection if it is misused by anyone.
Jesus.
The number of non-police persons wearing body armor for personal prptection is...? Functinally zero?

Though I am surprised the right has not flogged this as their solution to school shootings. Black dress pants or plaid knee length skirts, white dress shirt, kevlar vest...

Still ridiculous.  Just ups the ante on this whole preposterous arms race that is life in America.  Sure, put every child in a kevlar vest, then our death industry can sell armor-piercing teflon rounds to all those frustrated school shooters.  American Capitalism loves killing, and lots of it. 

BTW, if you actually READ the NPR article, then you learned that most purchasers of the body armor are gun owners who are accessorizing.  Want to look spiffy for the next white nationalist rally or street battle when the Jews and Blacks come to replace them!

Where was the false statement or misrepresenting in my post?  Which points are you calling a scam?  (my advice was against SPAMMING, btw, not scamming.)

Still awaiting an actual discussion on the points raised...

Water is very important, and every administration must examine our water supply and take action where needed, including building dams, and aquaducts, etc. And we CAN grow food in the desert, and we CAN have large populations of people in the desert, we just need to be wise. And we can sell oranges and pickles and other stuff grown in the desert all around the world, along with supplying our cities with fresh Winter Vegetables. Also, as people make money from the oranges and pickles, etc, then they can be altruistic and they can help the poor and the orphans and the homeless, etc. And we have Pepperdine which is teaching students how to help the needy. I posted all good stuff, I do not consider any of it to be spam.

Salute,

Tony V.

When I worked watching the door and parking cars for Suzanne Pleshette, then some of the guys who I worked with wore bullet proof vests, but I was never afraid, I always felt safe in Hollywood. Some people wear bullet proof vests while working as security guards, etc, and as door men, etc.

Salute,

Ordinarly Joe needs body armour to protect himself from the bad people.
He needs to protect his heart, kidneys, liver, neck, head.

Black people in Jacksonville need to enact segregation.
Form the BPA...Black Peoples Army.
They need to arm the members of said army with handguns and AR 15s...and train such soldiers to the max.
Special uniforms, weapons and dogs.
Secure fence erected around the Black folks community.
Checkpoints, Black soldiers of the BPA enforcing the new rules.
...so the Black ladies I saw on my tv will be able to go to the convenience store in peace.

Enjoyed scrolling through your recent work, some nice jabs there.  There was one with Tim Scott where he was labeled as running for vice president .  LoL.  I think he's also running for a theocracy, so we will no doubt see some amusing antics as he woos the evangelical bloc.

Bambu, it took hard work and a civil war and then marches and riots to get us to the point where we are today on the issue of equality and good human rights. Martin Luther King Jr and others marched and worked to get the Equal Opportunity Act of 1964, and the Fair Housing Act of 1968. And we had to desegregate our schools, brave Black youth had to go to White schools. We worked hard to have equality in the United States, and we need to all be equal, Asians, Blacks, Latinos, Europeans, Arabs, Jews, Italians, etc, we need to all be equal.

By the way, two of my heroes from the Entertainment Industry were great men who helped the poor, there was Kirk Douglas who was great and who attended the same acting school that I attended, the AADA, and Kirk Douglas got rich and then he spent his life giving money to charity. Then there was also Paul Newman, who started Newman's Own spaghetti sauce and salad dressing, etc, all for charity, the company is still making money for charity. The purpose of making money is to spend it, and to give it away, money is not meant to be hoarded, and life is short, it is best to spend the money and to give money away to help others. And I support the program at Pepperdine to teach social entrepreneurs how to become successful so that they can help the poor and the needy.

We need to all be equal, and we need to love and help our neighbors.

Salute,

Tony V.
