It's all talk, a bunch of college kids or reactionary rants to frustration.

Practicing the first amendment is much different than perverting the second amendment.

This isn't South America, Americans are sports nuts but typically not murderous football hooligans.


Try telling that to the Steeler fan who had his head bashed in at a Raider game.

Steelers and Raiders fans are sort of like brutish Quebecians.

If you are going to put down a Canadian province or the people who live in that province, you should at least spell it correctly. They are Quebecois OR Quebeckers, not Quebecians. It would be like me calling Texans, Texericans.

I think you read way to much into that, no one was attacking Canadian nationalism. I equated Quebec's less than stellar reputation with the fans of a pair of unfavorable team fanbases.

No border war here.

Adam Schefter just said that (according to what he's hearing) it was Javon Walker with Williams. They were at a party and had brushed up against some gang bangers, the bangers told them they better leave, so they did. Then the bangers followed them outside and shot up the limo.

Williams died right next to Walker, or possibly in his lap.

No way.

Do you have a link to this?

Of course not, you just pulled Quebec smack out of your,,,, because that province has so much to do with the Steelers and Raiders :rolleyes:

Next time if you are going to make an analogy, at least make one that makes sense.

I think you just need to accept the truce that no ill meaning was meant by that but if you want to continue to take it personally so be it.

I was being playful, you insulted American fans , I gave you a joking comaprison to French Canadians and you ran with it in unintended ways.

Schefter made it sound clearly gang-related.

Not really that Williams was involved in anything shady, but the players obviously ran afoul of some very dangerous people.

And mine was? Make up your mind, a double standard is in play. This is a non-issue at best, let's change the subject since things have been taken out of context and communication is not working in this instance.

As much carnage as gangs have caused in this country, we certainly have not put enough resources into fighting it. Some of the money and manpower used on the drug war should be retargeted.

You will never stop gang violence until you cure the poverty of the inner city.

It is purely speculative at this point but often this kind of violence is either wrong place/ wrong time or drug related.

Horrible tragedy.

I find this believable, because it's exactly the sort of petty nonsense that can set some people off.
