This is what happens when you keep telling people that if only someone with a gun had been around.

The car jackers should be charged with attempted murder for the owner getting shot while they were in the commission of the crime.

Not even a little, Lorne Thomas​. The carjackers brought no weapons and threatened no one's life. The so-called "good Samaritan" did all that just fine on his own.

The shooting would not have happened if e car jackers hadn't committed a crime so the responsibility should be on them.

The shooting would not have happened if not for a number of factors, such as Texas being filled with a bunch of wanna be vigilantes.

Let's hold the criminal responsible for all repercussions of their actions. Let's not protect criminals, or reward criminal activity.

And the criminals should be held accountable for their actions. In this case, the car jackers to be held for car jacking and the gun toting jackass for attempted murder.

Get the car jackers for the attempted murder as well because if they hadn't committed the crime, the secondary offense would not have happened. Any thing else is just empowering criminals in a state where people are armed.

Might as go after the car owner, then. Had he not been there with a vehicle the jackers wanted then the whole thing wouldn't have gone down.

The car owner was not committing a crime. His actions did not start a nasty chain reaction. Your logic is infantile.

No it's not. Had the case owner not been there the crime wouldn't have happened thus it was all his fault.

And it's not my logic, it's yours. You're the one who claims that the mere act of the car jackers being there necessitated the armed response by an untrained gun toting Texas moron resulting in the critical injuries of the vehicle owner.

You are simple minded at best and lack the maturity for rational thought.

I'm fairly certain, of the two of us, you're the one who's more simple of mind, Lorne Thomas. Two separate crimes were committed. To hold one party accountable for the actions of another based on circumstance is illogical and places the blame elsewhere.

So Jason ON, do you support gun control? Because that is the same argument pro gun people use. Or might it just be a case of when it is convenient, you will use it?

A criminal should be held accountable for all damages incurred as a result of the commission of a crime, what ever form they may take.

No, I don't support gun control. I support firearms education and training.

I do not believe that someone should be tried for a crime s/he didn't commit. Such policies are not a deterrent and only serve to pad the pockets of for-profit prison systems.

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p <==edited to add the correct link Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me.

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
