Again, if the poster wanted to opine about "black power types" when the police reports indicate it was started by a dispute between neighbors there is a D&D forum where he can get ignored by people that are used to his political leanings...
You're totally lost and trying to launch down irrelevant rabbit trails. The dude was a black panther militant type in the past (and maybe still? I don't know). That's a fact. It doesn't matter at all how the dispute started, it doesn't change the fact. I was merely commenting that the Dallas police shooting last year had a similar type guy commit the crime. I wasn't saying that this current guy did it to further black panther objectives, which you and Buck erroneously assumed.
Those type of comments get made constantly outside of the D&D. There will be some overlap here and there, and as long as the thread doesn't get largely derailed, those comments have been historically allowed. B-Bob asked for a source to bigtexxx's claims and he provided it. While bigtexxx is one of the biggest trolls on this board and I disagree with him on pretty much everything, I think you guys are overcritical because of his posting history. B-Bob took the bait. Gotta give credit where credit is due.
And again, you are basing this on your own assumptions and not what has been reported. And making assumptions on his past would be like me suggesting that you are trolling based on your past political and racial trolling. Which wouldn't be appropriate here, correct? And at least according to the Dallas News reporting, he didn't even associate with the Black Panther militant stereotype... https://www.dallasnews.com/news/cri...er-reported-shot-old-east-dallas-gunman-large But again, its pretty simple... take it to D&D if you want to engage in political discourse.
Appreciate your insights and agree with the observation about the poster's history and posting style. But the way threads like this get derailed is by accommodating people who's main intent is to troll... which it appears you recognize that when you say another person objecting "took the bait". If the offending poster gets a charge by trolling with politically or racially charged posts, there appears to be a place designed just for that. Anyway... my two cents.
delete. thoughts are with the affected, and not with trolls, whatever their political flavor, and whatever their obsessions with race.
FYI : two died : It was a murder-suicide. When I first moved to Dallas, I lived in some apartments within walking distance of North Lake College. It's also around the corner from where the AT&T Byron Nelson Golf Tournament takes place in a few days at the TPC Four Seasons.
My wife and my friend's little sister go to North Lake. Fortunately both were off campus when this occurred. My wife skipped her 2nd class yesterday (Thank God!) and my friend's sister was on campus earlier for an exam and left maybe 30-45 mins before things went down. I'm not sure what's been going on this last few days in TX, but it's getting nuts. My wife is genuinely scared to go back to campus.
I'm absolutely not. This is your lazy way of trying to shut down discussion. You've been a lazy thinker for years.
I stay away from D and D and political current events talk but I remember some very questionable posts by that dude in the trayvon martin thread way back.
