I'm not bothering to bring over the primitive comments made for good public relations, window dressing, but instead only the comments that tell us how the primitives
really feel.

Police: Constable serving eviction order kills 12-year-old
DUNCANNON, Pa. (AP) — A constable serving an eviction order at a central Pennsylvania apartment fired at an armed tenant but the bullet passed through the man's arm and fatally struck his 12-year-old daughter, authorities said.
The constable went to the apartment near Duncannon, about 10 miles northwest of Harrisburg, at about 10 a.m. Monday to enforce a district judge's eviction order, state police said Tuesday.
A man answered the door, closed it, then reopened it and exchanged words briefly with the constable, police said. He then pointed a loaded .223-caliber rifle that had been "slung and concealed along his body" at the constable's chest, police said. The girl was standing behind her father, authorities said.
The constable, investigators said, drew his own .40-caliber weapon and fired once, but the bullet went through the man's upper left arm and hit the girl. She was pronounced dead at the scene. Her name wasn't immediately released.

It's more than guns. It's class warfare.
And away we go.....

1. It always has been class warfare. Look at how police have been dressed forever. Nice tailored
clothes, a tie and tie-clasp. Even patrol officers for years wore a tie. Nothing says business like a tie.

4. Evicting families from property, at gunpoint, distills the whole rotten system.

7. Yep but the system is all about the property owners
they don't give a flying fugg about the poor or renters
Remember folks, malice is part of the 1% down there in Jamaica, one of the poorest countries in the world. And also one of the most criminal.
One's reasonably certain malice's property's pretty well protected.

9. Seems it was the evictee that was pointing the gun. I blame this whole thing on the father.

16. As long as yo're looking at the "whole thing", have you considered why this family was being evicted
in the first place? Have you considered how it came to be that property rights justify a killing?

6. The landlord will deduct the cost of cleaning his daughter's blood from the security deposit.
**** this post.

49. Property and money have
always meant more than human lives in this country. It's baked into our history.

46. The constable shares the blame for
firing at someone knowing a child was right behind him. They're both guilty here.

55. That's ridiculous
so what was the constable supposed to do? Allow the father to kill him? let's be reasonable now. I am ALWAYS more than skeptical about police involved shootings, but this was not the constable's fault.

62. Yes the constable shares blame.
It is the responsibility of the shooter to know his target and what lies beyond. He ****ed up.
As for what to do, how about back away and call for backup.
In case one's not aware, the 12-year-old wasn't visible at the half-opened door.

53. He made a choice, but the constable shot and killed the girl.
It's their job to put their life behind others!

33. Why would ANYONE shoot someone over an eviction?
**** these ammosexual assholes.
ncjustice80 (892 posts) Tue Jan 12, 2016, 10:00 PM
54. Indeed.
Murder a little girl over an eviction. A new low in America.

52. Pig needs to get charged with murder!
Why does a constable even have a gun? And it's his damn job to eat a bullet if a child is in potential danger. Hope he rots in jail.

64. They need to defund and disarm the police- NOW.
It's too bad that nominations for the Top DUmmies of 2016 don't open up for ten months yet, long after this is forgotten, as this primitive's ^^^ making a good run for the prize.

75. Right, the father should have stood meekly by and let his family be evicted in the dead of winter.
People are suffering, out of jobs, behind in their rent, and I think that if this had been my father, he probably would have done something very similar. I think he was just trying to keep the cretin law enforcer away from his family. What kind of man evicts people from housing in the winter with a family? Police have a right to defend themselves, where are our rights????? Oh I forgot, we have none when it comes to them.
There's plenty of primitives supporting the actions of the constable, but again as we all know, it's primitive bullshit. They know they're being watched and quoted, and so are putting on a reasonable face. But we know how they
really feel anyway.
