The desired consequences are infringements of victimless economic liberty. They can extend the comment period 4500, 45,000 days, the result will be the same.

If someone with a knife is heading towards your patrol vehicle, do you A) get out of it so he can stab you, and you have "no choice" but to unload your whole mag at point blank range B) stay inside the safety of your vehicle and hit him at about 5 MPH as you're braking to a stop

Well, that's definitely an offense. Police forces should only use their weapons against violent offenders, or people bearing arms. Accidents happen so easily.

Merely bearing arms is not a crime or legitimate justification for law enforcement action under the US Constitution, Amendment 2, and the inherent human right to self-defense it so codifies.
This is correct, however there are certain instances when it is legal for the police to request/order a citizen to put down their arms for their own protection. I also think he is saying that a person who is carrying a gun has the possibility of using it against the police office in mere seconds (or fractions thereof).

Protests have escalated quickly in that area and officers need to make split second decisions. Officers have also taken gunfire by protestors.

If they wanted to shoot the police, they'd have shot the police (in their stupid ass Red Rover/cannon fodder line).

IIRC, I saw a mainstream news story in the last few days where police told a man to drop his bat he had for self-defense as he was trying to find out the medical condition of his brother at a crime scene, then stood idly by watching him get beaten to death by a gang minutes later. If you're going to disarm me, you better give me the exact same cover as your fellow officers. There is absolutely no legal requirement they do so, however, so disarmament equals criminal complicity.

"Just following {inhuman} orders {to enforce categorically unconstitutional laws}" should put you in the dock.

A long term solution is to eliminate the rampant electoral fraud that prevents non-traitors from gaining any significant power in our tyrannical, blatantly criminal government.

thinking this way gets people killed. people who are nervous accidentally fire guns more than people who are not. the cops down there all have their nerves tied in knots and can accidentally do something stupid. NEVER point a gun at someone even if you know it is unloaded. it is ALWAYS a stupid idea to point a gun at someone.

ALWAYS act like the gun is loaded and always point it at the ground or away from anyone. i am an extreme gun safety person and pointing it at someone is never a good idea unless it is really called for.

WTF are you replying to? Here's what I was replying to, since you didn't read the quote, apparently:

"Police forces should only use their weapons against... people bearing arms."

Android phones can use the coinbase merchant app, it will let you request the exact price with QR and will notify you once the payment is sent.

Put in your bitcoin address that you generated at home, no private key on your device to be robbed from.

did you even read the thread? The whole point of a mod locking it is so that the user can't unlock it later.

Well, maybe I miss the point, but I created a thread and locked it. Now I'm unable to unlock it. That's pretty much the desired outcome, no?
Looks like I was mistaken. Embarrassed I always thought you could lock and unlock your threads because I heard scammers were locking their topics to prevent people from calling them out, then unlocking for a split second to bump.
They are able to do this. I see this all the time in the marketplace (and with a self moderated thread). I personally think it should be against forum rules as there is no purpose to this other then to scam, but it is besides the point.

I also was just able to unlock this thread after I locked it. The button was in the same place.

Trust ratings can be left on their profile and more detailed discussion posted in Scam Accusations https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=83.0

Some of us would rather not have to constantly delete the bullshit people post (that has nothing to do with actually executing a transaction) to bump their count for sig advertising campaigns.

Mine's in my sig (hosted by Google Sites).
So I would more or less need to have it hosted somewhere and post a link to it? There is no good place in the forum itself to keep it?

Not this current forum, it might be in the new forum software. I mean, you can post your key ID now, and people would have to import it from a keyserver, but there's nowhere here to affix the whole public key block to your account. You could make your own topic/post in an uneditable subforum (don't remember which ones there are other than Auctions) but that could be deleted.

I saw a video of some dude in China slashing random people with two meat cleavers.

Since they couldn't shoot him two guys had to run in and tackle him while he was distracted.

Insanity.

https://localbitcoins.com/ad/115098/sell-bitcoins-for-cash-lunenburg-ns-canada would appear to be the closest bitcoiner to Oak Island. Roughly 23.3 km up the 3 from Lunenberg.
Thanks for the tip!
I'm not sure if this would be against forum rules or not(Soliciting an offer via Pm) so i will wait to see if i get offers on this without the PM. If a Mod can clarify this as to be ok or not i will PM them.
Thanks Butter Smiley

You'll need to sign up at LocalBitcoins and fund your account with the amount of BTC you want to pay for the mission and shipping to be able to PM there. PMing there has nothing to do with this forum.

Heh, along these lines, I've been offering to
A) sell my BTC-E account for $1 in BTC (): https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=699329.0
B) sign a contract to never rejoin all #bitcoin* channels on all IRC networks for 100 years, if I receive a single TX of the total value of my inventory with BTC-signed instructions (for what to do with my inventory) from the sending key. The spammers I've been at war with on IRC don't seem to want to crowdfund to get rid of me.

Probably the best you will able to do is use the YouTube to gif converter gifyoutube.com and then img tag the output.

You can in no way defend yourself against a man with a gun in his hand.
He can shoot you at any distance so you cant run from him.

Bold faced liar. You can't be shot with a gun "at any distance".

Welcome to my ignore list.
