It wouldn't have stopped with a mere tackle....
What do you mean? I haven’t watched the video.
The assailant was restrained and then another man came over and removed the firearm from the assailant.

Re: War in Gaza

Military spending effectively is short term stimulus. And most the stimulation is of wealthy contractor pockets.

Re: Is Biden Fit to be President?

It would be amazing to see real debates and real press conferences.

Re: Morals & ethics behind supporting certain mission efforts?

I see zero problems with vagrancy laws and prison work camps for repeat offenders. The simple fact is, nobody HAS to use illegal street drugs, commit acts of violence, or yell at passersby. Work also provides dignity and in a compulsory setting, would steer such people into more healthy life habits....

Re: The Israeli state?

An obvious question is if this same concern for various ethnic groups to have a home and make a state of it extends to other people. Israel is run as an effective apartheid state where Jews have far more rights than non-Jews, regardless of citizenship. As do Muslim, Chinese, and many African states...

Re: Poll: Auto Accident Fatalities and Injuries

Self driving taxis have already existed for a while. Waymo is one of them. For whatever reason, humans apparently are either better or cheaper than self driving taxis.

Re: War in Gaza

Imagine what the $2.3 trillion could have bought. At $18,000 per household, I think we can all come up with some ideas. Blowing 2.3 trillion benefits the economy but lays more debt on the average American. Whereas injecting 2.3 trillion into the spending market results in inflation. I prefer not sp...

Re: Poll: Auto Accident Fatalities and Injuries

The equivalent for gasoline would be using a gas tax to pay for all the oil wars in the middle east and military buildup there from the Iraq wars to the current mess in Yemen. And make no mistake, the Iraq war was about oil. We don't invade countries like the Congo simply because they have dictator...

Re: Poll: Auto Accident Fatalities and Injuries

“Self driving” (which so far only Mercedes in the U.S. market has brought a fully self driving car) is no different in an EV than a gasoline or hybrid car; modern cars have electronically controlled accelerator pedals, brakes, and even steering now. Self driving is just a very expensive boondoggle s...
