In light of recent events and our political climate I want to share words spoken by Mayor William Hartsfield just over 60 years ago, the day after the Oct. 12th 1958 dynamite bombing of a Jewish temple in Atlanta.

''Whether they like it or not, every political rabble rouser is the godfather of these cross burners and dynamiters who sneak about in the dark and give a bad name to the south'' ____Atlanta Mayor William Hartsfield.
It's not dynamite or restricted to the south now, it's AR-15s and pipe bombs and it's national. We're better than this.

WORDS MATTER, especially when they come from supposed leaders.

    I assume you mean to include the talk about "go to these peoples homes approach them in stores and restaurants get in there face make sure they know they aren't wanted anymore" "when they go low we kick them". And include a Senator being shot by a **** while at baseball practice and another getting Ricin sent to him in the mail. Just wanted to be sure the accounts aren't being overlooked and cherry picked.

    I meant to make a point, not a rant.
    Also, my post wasn't meant for you, we have nothing to discuss outside of sports.

    I try not to blame someone for other people's wrongdoings... And I missed the part where leaders are promoting pipe bombings and shootings.

    It was meant for people very different from you.
    I have nothing to say to you outside of sports talk.

    I get that, but leaders can lead towards water or they can lead us into fire.

    Maybe not such a bad idea to let this topic do a slow disappearance ...

    I don't regret starting this thread.
    The readers who it was meant for don't need any further explanation. Those who take exception are not reachable, that much I'm sure of.

    If we ban assault weapons, we may not stop mass shootings, but we'd definitely make them less effective, and our cops would be safer. 3 cops got shot in Pittsburgh b/c crazy people have better weapons than street cops, and equivalent weapons to SWAT. Thats a problem, and what would a security guard do to stop it, if he's bringing a glock vs an ar 15, and the gunman has the element if surprise?
