Assault Bricks

Not to be confused with patrol bricks. [More]

Just think how proud and admiring that the Bradys, VPC, and hoplophobes everywhere are that Quinones achieved moral victory by not being able to save his life with a firearm.

I'm sure they are all going to step up now and provide for his loved ones, his creditors, his friends, his pets and complete whatever life's work his attackers ended. Right? I mean how better to show appreciation for his disarmed succumbing to their philosophy. Also, I bet NJ is going to jump on that bandwagon and pay for their part in the consequences of state dictated helplessness.

What the Hell do you mean,NO? What are they, a bunch of hypocrites?

All these people and groups and state agencies demanded his helplessness against a bunch of teenage pricks with bricks. They failed in their commensurate duty to defend his life. Surely they are not so hypocritical as to fail in their duty to shoulder his burden now that they were accomplices in his death.

Fantasy must have taken me over for a minute. I forgot, these pricks not wielding bricks are thrilled with the actions of the ones who do. Otherwise they wouldn't aid and abet them.

Is your patio a "weapon cache," citizen?

I notice no one has suggested limiting easy access to bricks. They've indicted the ATTACKERS, who range in age from 13 to 17.
I have a pistol that could take out the entire brick-slinging gang without being reloaded. I won't be lying unrecognizable in a coma. Someone might.

assuming these cretins didn't actually mean to kill the guy, they'd have been better off armed with guns.

since it is obvious what a gun does, they'd have stopped to consider what implement to employ in their beating. perhaps they'd have settled for hands and feet, potentially saving that man's life.

and so one might ask: where were their guns?

now, since it's obvious that they did actually mean to kill the guy, or just didn't care, one might instead ask:

where was his gun?

either way you look at it, the firearm is the crux of civilization. considering the consequences of your own actions is the only way forward. getting shot because you did the wrong thing anyways is just the safety valve.

Maybe the punks read the recent article about Richmond, Va., "sculptor" Paul DiPasquale, who's currently taking guns chopped up by police departments after they're no longer needed as evidence, and sticking them together as "monuments" to "gun crime" victims. He did an exhibition of a hundred or so bricks with human ears apparently growing out of them. Can you hear me now? Crack! How 'bout now?

A rock. The world's oldest 'assault weapon'.

And, it wasn't registered? You would have thought that somebody since the time of Cain and Able would have thought to introduce legislation.

Can't win for losing here. If Quinones had shot and killed a couple of the young turds it would have gone down as sweet, misunderstood, neglected "children" killed by a nasty gun.

I suspect we're not going to hear that the city has decided to tear down all the buildings and put up new ones with "microstamped" and registered bricks....

Don't go to town unarmed... Or just stay out of towns that insist you go unarmed. Don't wait for "permission."

When I think I need to be armed, I am. The law no matter what it does or does not say is not considered.
