All cats, much like all dogs, are ugly and disgusting and should all be used as cattle fodder - there, that's ingratiated me to one and all!
Oh, and it's nice to see a new person in my blog comments - visit again!
Charlie says......"I'll cattle fodder you next time your round this way sonny!"
I responded to your comment on renegade eye's site.

The guy didn't have a bomb. That is true. The point is how can we expect every armed officer to expect that someone is lying?
Guns suck, and I am no proponent of them in any way. But unfortunately they are often times necessary and airports are not just places that people like you go to for simple vacation plans....there is a hell of a lot that goes on there that we don't know about.
If the guy in Miami was white...perhaps he wouldn't be dead you are saying. I don't know if that is true. I don't think you can say one way or the other if it would have made a difference. None of us were there...
America is too militaristic, I agree on that point. But without more information I don't know how any of us can say what happened was or wasn't justifed at the time it happened...and the only thing we can agree on is that it is very sad and hopefully something will be learned from this experience.

I hope you don't consider what I wrote to be reactionary...I just think that anyone's instinct is to infer and assume all sorts of things from what happened and at least for a moment I wanted to suggest that perhaps it was a situation that was freakish and the shot was justified under the conditions? Again I can't possibly know.
cats are anarchists.
Ella: You're opening statement is the most important - "the guy didn't have a bomb". Story over! But please don't be put off visiting again!
Renegade: I stand by my arguments on the pets=cattle fodder point.
Jim: I'll get my coat!
Coat!!!!! Ya soft southern shite!
Proper posts next time, please.
None of this one line link posts; it's so passe.
Consider things balanced.
Cats are fascists.
I had a cat called Bronstein once, she definitely had Trotskyist tendencies, however current mog Charlie is most definitely a sociable beastie and a friend to all. He even likes Reidski!
No more cat comments - this debate is definitely over!
