An Akron basketball player is in jail for firing shots at police.
That's pretty bad.
But do you know the good news?
The good news is that it was Rydell Brooks shooting at police and not Jeremiah Wood because Wood is a 66.7 percent 3-point shooter, meaning the man is usually on target. Odds are, he would've nailed a cop. Brooks, on the other, shot just 14.3 percent from 3-point range as a freshman. So it should come as no surprise that he hit nobody when he fired a gun early Sunday, and I'm just glad Akron never got the 20 year-old an adequate shooting coach because then we would be dealing with a tragedy.
As it is, we're just dealing with stupidity.
Honestly, how stupid do you have to be to shoot at cops?
For the record, I'm against guns completely. There are statistics that suggest having one will cause more trouble than it will prevent. But I'm also against telling people how to live their lives, which is why I'm not telling college basketball players like Brooks to not carry guns.
Carry guns, if you like.
Just don't fire them at me.
And don't fire them at police officers.
Because firing a gun at a police officer is almost never going to work in your favor, especially in an era when children can be killed by police just for carrying a toy gun. Some police officers don't need much of an excuse to open fire on you, and you firing at them is way more than enough of an excuse. So leave police officers alone. Trust me on this. But if you just have to fire at somebody, make sure to fire at a nobody and then deny everything.
That's the best course of action.
Or at least it seems to be working for Marvin Harrison.

Where are these statistics Gary?"There are statistics that suggest having one will cause more trouble than it will prevent." Gun laws keep honest people honest. Since guns are outlawed on campuses, only a criminal will have one. That's why these psychos can just nonchalantly walk right up to their next victim, huddled defenselessly in a corner, and fire. I say let them have guns in school. Let security do random checks for proper liscensing and permits, but let a person defend themself. It's the 2nd effin Amendment. That was also a pretty weak attempt at humor with the shooting coach BS. C'mon Gary, I expect better from you. |

Shooting at police is stupidAbout a month or so ago at a College in Isreal a Palestinian opened fire on a large group of Isreali students leaving a classroom building with an automatic weapon. An armed Isreali student pulled out a handgun and put the shooter down. About a dozen students were injured, and the gunman was killed. Imagine what could have happened if that student hadn't been carrying (or had a decent shot). Gun control's major problem (as useful idiot mentioned) is that it takes guns out of the hands of law abiding citizens while law breakers and criminals have easy, underground access. When only the bad guys have guns, who wants to be the good guy. |
