State Police Officer Dies in Pennsylvania Ambush

[Jeff-Groves]

Get in the groove. I asked to have the original account deleted.
Powers that be changed it.
Then I contacted Mods about just doing a new account as I don't want past awards and such.
Anything else you want to jump me for?
Like useing my real name and not hiding behind an account name?
Maybe because I am a caustic person with an opinion that doesn't match the normal?
I don't know. You pick one. THose that run this sight have all the power.
Bitch to them and I may be banned. Can't say it would bother me much.
Given the state of things here at home? I'd probably be better off if you made waves for me and got me shut down.
Then you could pat yourself on the back for doing a good job and go to sleep with a chushy feeling.
I'll state this once............
Subsim and all members have had an impact in my life that goes beyound words.
Membership here extends in other areas with other benifits that I can't even talk about without tears.
I am the Original Richard Cranium. I am someone that looks in the mirror every morning and likes what I see.
I also know I'm not perfect.
General Topics is a tuff area and you have the right to question me.
You should know by now that I'd not do a second account without approval.
In questioning me? I have to question your reason for doing so?

Not really. Read the edited post above.
Of course you are always welcome to PM me.
I believe I'd enjoy a "Hi. I'm Tribesman and I'm a Richard" PM.

[Jeff-Groves]

Good deal then Mate.
I'd still like a PM exchange.
That's only if you can put up with someone like me.

Pretty much explains your point of view. I mean if you read it on the 'Net?
It must be true.

Should I prove my shooting skills to you? Nope. Don't think I'll bother.
You'd only claim the targets were rigged and I have people all over the U.S.A. that send AG's to me to work on.
Of course that's only me saying it's true and you'll find issues with that.
Have a nice day.

I can provide a reliable link that proves my statement. Of course judging from your apparent attitude it must be incorrect.

What I find issue with is how you in this thread have done nothing more than brag about how skilled you are and how stupid the assailant must be. I never claimed that you could not shoot so I am unsure why you think I would want you to prove how good or bad you actually are. I have no interest in watching you shoot so it is a good thing you have no desire to show me.

At the end of the day you accuse me believing anything I read as the truth while you so far have provided no verifiable facts yourself on anything you claim which in effect has nothing much to do with the topic at hand.

The reason that I did not provide any link in my previous post was because I was tired and about to go to sleep and I was using my phone and I just felt lazy.

I suggest if you dislike me or what I have to say you make use of the ignore function. I will also pass on having a private message conversation with you.Just letting you know seeing as you keep pestering Tribesman.

It is easy to blame the press for things like this. Then again, there are shows like "Cops" where we just wait for them to riddle that damn "crack-blackguy" with lots of bullets.

Or when they show car chases on the news?
Aren't we all waiting for the big dramatic crash and, hopefully, some fatalities? It's so exciting after all!

Or what about recorded "live!" suicides?

We love that. We want that.
They are just answering the call.

To a degree, that's true. It's why tabloids are still selling, why non-entities like the Kardashians and Miley Cyrus are on the CNN front page -- daily!


But I still blame the press, they are supposed to be educated, they could set and hold a higher standard.

Don't blame me, I just got here But I would be interested in ideas on improving the tone of GT.

[Jeff-Groves]

I'm not going to ignore you. That would be rude on my part.
You do have good points in many threads and I do follow those.

I don't expect others to fully know my past or present shooting skills.
That is something I share in other forums.

[Jeff-Groves]

Well, There's Neal. If you want me banned, AGAIN, PM him!

But they are educated and they do have a high standard. It is called profit.

It is a mistake to think that the news services today are the same as the news services of yesteryear. For decades news reporting was a profit loss for the corporation. There was no money in news reporting. It was offered as a service and the other programming paid for the costs of the news.

Then, it was discovered that news reporting can be entertainment and therefore sold as a profit making venue for the media corporation. No longer were other shows carrying the freight for the news shows. Now the news shows are expected to work at a profit.

So what is a well educated news media professional supposed to do? The focus on selling a product their customer's like.

That's why there is a Fox News and a MSNBC. Each has a customer base, and each service caters to that customer base. Good business practices.

If you hold the news media business to an unrealistic level of them providing a public service, it is not surprising when the news media falls in our vision.

We want (or think we want) the news service to do (public service), when in reality they are doing (make profit for the corporation).

If you look at them from a business viewpoint, the news media is doing quite well and are exceeding their standards...... it is just that their standards may be different from what we want.

In the corner sharpening their truncheons I think..

Let's all not forget that...
"Insult can not be given unless it's taken"

Some times we have no choice but to agree to disagree.
Because you can't make your opponent be right every time.

I blame the neo news media and their liberal malarkey and that harlot Jodie Foster.
