You are forever tied to Meechgan grumbles. It doesn't matter you don't live there, just as Valmy is forever linked by his shitty taste in Pro Football teams.

As Valmy points out, the question isn't whether zoupa is scared, or grumbler, or you or I, but whether the intended target - Michigan legislators - were intimidated.  It appears they were and that makes the matter a public concern.

That's actually my point, not Valmy's.  Valmy's point was that this legislature was somehow mine and I was somehow responsible for the protestors being able to carry guns into the legislative chamber.

My point was that you have ties to this state, you have lived there, so if you feel that this is all fine I have no reason to disagree. I have never even been to Michigan, you obviously know the place better than me. And he was obviously referring to an entirely point I made anyway...

The idea I thought you were responsible is fucking insane :lol: WTF man?

In case you were under the impression I thought you were the secret dictator of Michigan who hand picked all the politicians and personally wrote all of the laws, no I don't think that. Just in case you found that confusing. I hope that clears that up.

Certainly more tied than me. It is true he is somebody on this forum I think about when I think about Michigan.

Hey at least none of my teams left for greener pastures in Oklahoma.

When have I ever indicated in any way that "this is all fine"?  :lol: WTF man?

You were the guy saying "But hey it is your idiotic state laws and your, allegedly, cowardly pathetic legislature..." Note your use of the second person possessive.  I haven't voted in Michigan in more than forty years.

That clears it up.  Maybe you should reconsider assigning ownership to people out of the blue. 

I still don't understand why you want to make this personal.  Why even say shit like that?

Because you were mocking Zoupa, and others, for being upset about it? Not exactly sounding like you had a big problem with what was going on, claiming only Zoupa was scared when the Michigan Leg seemed to be.

In any case all I was trying to say is that utimately this is not really my business having no connection to Michigan. You do....or I thought you did. So if you have so few shits to give, why am I wasting time talking about it?

QuoteNote your use of the second person possessive.

Right. I may have been out of line there, I had no idea you had been away from Michigan for so long. And I was a little bent out of shape for how you were being with the other posters and I intended for that to be my final say in the matter. I am not from Michigan so ultimately this is not my business and I have said all I intend to say about it.

QuoteI still don't understand why you want to make this personal.  Why even say shit like that?

I don't think I am making this personal. It is just you knew things like the rules of the Michigan leg like a native would and I know you are a big Michigan fan.

We know why people in police uniform open carry, and these reasons are not threatening. 

Well, not threatening to white people.

I'd rather be around no guns.

No, I was mocking Zoupa for trying to escalate this into terrorism.  Terrorism is a real and terrible thing.  Claiming that everything you don't like is terrorism cheapens the word and implies that it is common and so not all that big a deal.

Highly inaccurate depiction. Like Trump would actually wear gloves.

Yeah?

Good point Joan, I wish I had considered it.

On the other hand, Trump sees fossil fuel producers and workers as his guys.
