BREAKING NEWS - CAR SMASHES INTO BARRIER AT U.S. CAPITOL COMPLEX; SHOTS REPORTEDLY FIRED

[foszoe]

Death count and flagpole fighting come to mind.

Definition of straw man​

1: a weak or imaginary opposition (such as an argument or adversary) set up only to be easily confuted

Except I made no argument for a different death count or that the flagpole was a weapon.

I asked what others considered counting towards the death count or as a weapon and was done with the discussion until you decided to comment

Yep, that's on the way..And right after is Floyd's Lawyer, representing the family on this needless killing of another "Person of Color"...

Unarmed except for the knife after committing vehicular assault and vehicular homicide.

 

[JCSR]

It is one of the oldest tricks in the book to make a purposeful misrepresentation of another person's position and then arguing against the fictitious position, knocking it down. It is the straw man rhetorical fallacy.

 

[drillsgt]

Yea I almost said something.

Nation of Islam is not real islam. It's a cult. I don't think he can be called a muslim.

He would probably disagree with you.

This didn't take long, using a car and knife attack to call for gun control. Never let a crisis go to waste I guess.

Heartbroken to learn another CP was killed while protecting the Capitol. My thoughts and prayers go out to the officer’s family and the entire Capitol Police force. The death toll would have been worse if the assailant had an AR-15 instead of a knife.

No Omar it would have been worse if he had a car bomb, and or an S-vest on.

I was shocked that I never saw a bomb squad in any video or pic. It cold have been much worse.

I heard he had zip ties.....

Wonderful. Being equipped to cobble his dropped muffler back into place is an issue now.

You just did it.

 

[JCSR]

Weak

You just did it.

 

[foszoe]

Weak

I will let the rest of INGO decide who is arguing a Strawman.

It will probably be quiet.

 

[Shootin45super]

Reports are now that an individual exited the vehicle with a knife and was shot by LEOs

And the dems are saying this is the reason to ban AR15's. no joke!

 

[BigRed]

**** 'em

EVERYTHING is a reason.

 

[IndyDave1776]

**** 'em

Agreed.

To be h

To be honest with you I'm not sure how to respond to that.

I find you and I often flip flop on if we agree on things. So I'm not sure your tone here.

The urge to excuse muslims because he wasn't a 'real' muslim but only thought himself to be one. I'm just wondering if the same leeway will be given to Qanon adherents or if they will be considered 'real' white supremacists

Edit: If I kill you because I believe allah demands it of me, does it matter if I am a member of an approved sect? Do Sunnis believe Shia are 'real' muslims

I thought thoughts and prayers were to be denigrated, at least if offered by a conservative or a Christian - or a conservative Christian

 

[BugI02]

Point out the Strawman you claimed then.

Asked a few questions got the answers and you wanted to intervene.

The crawfishing around the Kirk Freeman definition of whether a capitol 'insurrectionist' was armed or not for weilding a flagpole vs a man wielding a knife - as if the common sense definition of armed doesn't exist and legalese is the only recourse

 

[BugI02]

Unarmed except for the knife after committing vehicular assault and vehicular homicide.

Mostly peaceful armed assault on the capitol perimeter
