From the Philly Inquirer:
Regional home sales up, but still lag
The real estate market in the eight-county Philadelphia region thawed its way out of a disappointing winter and into a sunnier spring in 2014’s second quarter, but sales still lagged the same period of a more hopeful 2013.
Using data from the Trend Multiple Listing Service, the Berkshire Hathaway Home Services Fox & Roach HomExpert Market Report shows second-quarter sales regionwide running 6.6 percent below the same period in 2013 – 14,795 vs. 15,844.
Year over year, prices were basically flat, the report indicates, with the average price just 0.3 percent higher than in March to June 2013 – $264,842 compared with $264,000.
Median price – half the homes sold for more, half for less – was just 0.5 percent higher, $221,000 in this year’s second quarter vs. $220,000 last year.
Joseph Scott McArdle, a BHHS Fox & Roach agent who focuses on the Chester County market, said the second quarter was “filled with ‘make up for lost time.’ ”
“When the weather finally cooperated, [buyers] seemed to come out in droves,” McArdle said. Among the things he noticed during the second quarter was that “for the first time in seven years, buyers no longer have the fear of continued falling prices.”
Apparently reflecting a more realistic approach by sellers, asking price improved vs. sale price in the second quarter. On average, the data show, sale price was 92 percent to 97 percent of asking price, depending on the number of homes on the market and traditional factors such as location and school district.
The second quarter’s for-sale inventory, 42,014 houses, was about 600 fewer than in the same period last year, the data show – well below normal numbers for the peak spring selling season.
But continuing short supply – which local agents called a major stumbling block to the market’s recovery – resulted in dramatically quicker sales. Average days on market were down 34.5 percent, to 76 days this year from 116 in 2013’s second quarter.
…
“The recovery, such as it is, remains a highly local phenomenon,” said economist Kevin C. Gillen, senior research consultant at the University of Pennsylvania’s Fels Institute of Government who tracks the area housing market.“Some segments are racing forward at breakneck speed, while others have been stuck in neutral for several years,” Gillen said. “Until price appreciation and sales activity become more geographically and demographically widespread, we cannot claim the region’s housing market is in full recovery.”
In the second quarter, sales fell in every county but Camden (up 0.6 percent) and Gloucester (up a more solid 4.3 percent), the data show.
From CNBC:
The biggest economic risk? You may be living in it
As a spate of housing data are released in the coming week, Wall Street will attempt to answer a burning question: Is the housing market becoming a big drag on economic growth?
“We are laser-focused on this housing data coming out, because we have seen that the backbone of the recovery was housing. Now it’s faltering slightly. So if we see another mishap here, maybe that adds to the slowing global growth—especially domestically,” said Jeff Kilburg, chief executive of KKM Financial.
The data start to emerge on Monday morning, when the National Association of Home Builders releases the latest reading on its housing market sentiment index. That widely watched gauge of the housing market rose to a six-month high in July, but is still down on the year.
On Tuesday, the all-important housing starts number will reveal how many residential buildings began construction in July. The July number will follow a big disappointment from June, when 893,000 homes were started on a seasonally adjusted annualized basis—a nine-month low.
Thursday’s existing home sales data will round out the week.
Recent indicators have not squelched concerns about housing. On Wednesday, the Mortgage Bankers Association reported applications to buy a house fell to a six-month low in the week prior.
Still, there are some reasons for optimism. According to Freddie Mac, 30-year mortgage rates have fallen to just 4.12 percent, which brings it back to its lowest levels on the year.

Bottom line, students from Europe and Asia that are the same age as our students can run circles around our students. There’s something wrong with that. Our education system is weak comparatively speaking and you cannot use the amount of HW kids get as evidence that they work hard or even have to work harder than a previous generation.

Chinese and Indian Education is terrible. It is all route memorization. They are excelent in stuff like Math or Accounting where you memorize and spit it out but terrible on thinking and people skills.
look at big four firms, tons and tons of asian kids start out but very few as Partners. Most have trouble with people skills, managing people, being flexible. For example went to a dinner on a Friday during Lent with a Catholic Partner I am also Catholic and Asian Client wanted Steak and client said he would do ordering. It is a big deal for an Asian Executive to want to take you to dinner, he picks restuarant and orders food and pays. The Partner said to me lets eat steak I am sure God wants the client to be happy.
I have dealt with Festivlle of Lights, Ramadom, Yon Kippur, days folks cant drive, Jehovas, Christian Scientists you name it at work. But at C-level and Partner level all the asian/indian folks are so insanely unflexible, rude and uninnovative.
My favorite is once an Jain Hidu Indian Staff told a client when we were at a steak dinner when asked was he was a vegitarian for health reasons instead of nodding Yes. He went off to say he cannot be reincarnated if he eats steak and folks who eat meat may suffer coming back in next life as a bug. Then the waitor came with our steaks.
Autopsy shows Ferguson cop fired 6 bullets into unarmed Michael Brown. The 1st 4 struck him in rt arm. Then two shots to the head.
This is bizarre, and not what you would expect from a trained law enforcement shooter. Based on this, I’m very interested to know if this was short-range.
What is left of an arm with four bullets in it. Also what was point of two shots to head? If you shoot someone four times even if in an Arm most likely he is pretty useless.

Five Myths About U.S. Kids Outclassed by the Rest of the World
At the end of this article, the reporter slips in an important rhetorical question: But if being No. 1 in education is our goal, shouldn’t we also want to be No. 1 in all the things closely linked to academic achievement, such as quality of childhood health care and reduction of childhood poverty? We must push this question beyond rhetoric. Our children are suffering in very real ways.
By Paul Farhi
The usual hand-wringing accompanied the Department of Education’s release late last year of new statistics on how U.S. students performed on international tests. How will the United States compete in the global economy, went the lament, when our students lag behind the likes of Singapore and Hong Kong in math and science? American fourth-graders ranked 12th in the world on one international math test, and eighth-graders were 14th. Is this further evidence of the failure of the nation’s schools?
Not exactly. In fact, a closer look at how our kids perform against the international “competition” suggests that this story line may contain more than a few myths:
1. U.S. students rate poorly compared with those in the rest of the world.
This is true only if you cherry-pick the results. University of Pennsylvania researchers Erling E. Boe and Sujie Shin looked at six major international tests in reading, math, science and civics conducted from 1991 through 2001. Their conclusion: Americans are above average when compared with 22 other industrialized nations. In civics, no nation scored significantly higher than the United States; in reading, only 13 percent did. Even in math and science — the two subjects considered “vital” to future technological competitiveness — the United States fell in roughly the middle of the pack. No gold star, but hardly a crisis, either.
More interesting, when compared with students in the world’s most industrialized countries, U.S. students were on par with the others in every subject (and outperformed everyone in civics). And every Western country, not just the United States, lagged behind Japan in math and science, suggesting that the “achievement gap” in these subjects is an East-West phenomenon rather than an American one.
2. U.S. students are falling behind.
Actually, American students are mostly improving, or at worst holding their own. As the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) shows, America’s eighth-graders improved their math and science scores in 1995, 1999 and 2003. Only students in Hong Kong, Latvia and Lithuania — three relatively tiny and homogenous entities — improved more than the United States did. Indeed, no nation included in the major international rankings educates as many poor students or as ethnically diverse a population as does the United States. Yet even as the percentage of historically low-achieving students has increased, our test scores have risen. Unfortunately, news accounts focus on the relative position of American students (are we No. 1 or No. 12?) rather than on their absolute performance (did they improve, regardless of what others did?).
3. U.S. students won’t be well prepared for the modern workforce.
This myth has been bandied around since at least the turn of the century — the 19th century — by business leaders who blame schools for inadequately preparing workers. It’s part of the never-ending notion that U.S. schools are in crisis.
Education researcher Gerald W. Bracey cites a March 1957 cover story in Life magazine — at the height of post-Sputnik paranoia over Soviet scientific prowess — that contrasts the stern, rigorous education of a Moscow teenager (complicated physics and chemistry courses) with the carefree lifestyle of a Chicago youth (rehearsals for his high school musical). The cover headline: “Crisis in Education.” In the 1980s, when Japan seemed to be an unstoppable economic juggernaut, the seminal policy manifesto “A Nation at Risk,” written by a blue-ribbon panel at the behest of the Department of Education, warned that deficiencies in high school graduates “come at a time when the demand for highly skilled workers in new fields is accelerating rapidly.”
Despite these doomsday cases, the United States survived and, by many measures, bested the competition. Today, with the Soviet Union a memory and Japan facing its own economic and demographic problems, the anxieties have shifted to China and other Asian rivals.
4. Bad schooling has undermined America’s competitiveness.
This canard — perhaps the biggest of them all — was given a boost by the recent World Economic Forum survey of international economies. Typically this annual survey ranks the U.S. economy as the most competitive in the world, but last year it put the United States in sixth place. However, the drop had nothing to do with test scores or school performance. Rather, the forum cited U.S. trade and budget deficits, a low savings rate, tax cuts and the federal government’s increased spending on defense and homeland security.
Another recent survey, by the Council on Competitiveness, a Washington-based business advisory group, found that over the past two decades the U.S. economy grew faster than that of any other advanced nation, and generated a third of the world’s economic growth. Yet this performance followed a period in which the authors of “A Nation at Risk” were warning that a “rising tide of [educational] mediocrity . . . threatens our very future as a nation.” That was in 1983. Those high-school mediocrities are now turning 40, and presumably have been playing a part in helping the U.S. economy grow “faster than any other advanced economy” over the past two decades.
A dynamic economy is much more than the sum of its test scores. It’s part of a culture that rewards innovation and risk-taking, and values unconventional problem-solving. Much of this is nurtured in our schools, even if it can’t be quantified on a test.
Recently, Newsweek International’s Fareed Zakaria noted Singapore’s success on international math and science exams, but asked Education Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam why Singapore produced so few top-ranked scientists, entrepreneurs, inventors, business executives and academics. “We both have meritocracies,” he replied. America’s “is a talent meritocracy, ours is an exam meritocracy. There are some parts of the intellect that we are not able to test well — like creativity, curiosity, a sense of adventure, ambition. Most of all, America has a culture of learning that challenges conventional wisdom, even if it means challenging authority. These are the areas where Singapore must learn from America.”
Our current (and past) economic success suggests something that educational alarmists and their sky-is-falling friends in the news media seem reluctant to admit: American schools may have a lot to fix, but they may be doing a few things right, too.
5. How we stack up on international tests matters, if only for national pride.
Yes, we’re a nation of strivers and self-improvers; the American drive to be the biggest and the best in everything seems part of our national character. But if being No. 1 in education is our goal, shouldn’t we also want to be No. 1 in all the things closely linked to academic achievement, such as quality of childhood health care and reduction of childhood poverty? National pride can be a destructive concept, especially when it views learning as a zero-sum game (“their” gains are “our” losses, and vice versa). Continuous improvement should be our goal, regardless of whether we’re No.1 in the test-score Olympics.

USA!! USA!! USA!! Stop trying to make it seem like we are failing. If American education is so bad, how come our universities are the most sought after in the world? Europeans watering at the mouth to get into American universities because they know the success associated with it.
Remember, our public education system for the primary grades is based on the following philosophy……”no child left behind”.
Would love to see these other countries include illegal boarder jumpers, gang banging thugs, homeless children, and special education kids in their test scores.

grim especially the two head shots. Not easy to hit a small moving target with a pistol and a lot of cops can’t hit a stationary target reliably past 5 meters with their sidearm. To perform a double tap to the head a special forces operator would be impressed, depending on range this could have been more an execution than self defense.
Ben only gives the perspective of a teacher teaching the top students. If this wasn’t the case, he would not make statements saying the parents do the hw for the kids. You are telling me lower class parents actually help their kids with their hw? I might believe that one.

Stop looking at articles. When I was in high school, we had this kid who was an average student in Germany visit for 2 years as a foreign exchange student. He was a sophomore and was in our senior classes (even English).
My best student ever came over from China two years ago. She was also two years ahead of everyone. Once again, she had more command and understanding of the English language than her peers.
Being number 1 is not important. Not being outclassed by nations half as wealthy as you is. Any article you reference that tries to paint the picture differently is either uninformed opinion or propaganda. I’ve seen the truth with my own eyes and experience as I have taught both high school and college. Foreign students are more capable.
As JJ put it, the only thing they aren’t good at is making the executive level. They never learn how to back stab and leech off the productive members of society. They are too busy trying to do things on their own.
So true. Why do you think the chinese constantly rip off our technology ideas….they can’t think outside the box. They are more like robots than a student. Good at sitting obediently and waiting for their next order.
And also good at putting your nation into a massive trade deficit.
[4] I tend to agree with clot. I would also add that educated and debt-free people have not only the ability to think, but also many options to choose from. The American system of employment built around a model with very little vacation time and a lifetime of debt is as much about preventing productive thought as it is about actual productivity. You could even make a case that student loan debt is an intentional shackle that was a needed replacement for the anchors of marriage, mortgage, and kids when young 20-somethings stopped lining up for traditional debt slavery.
I think most salaried professionals could be just as, if not more, productive with 4-6 weeks of vacation, but productivity is not the issue; the issue is what ideas might come to mind with that much time away from the hamster wheel.
Educated people are thinking people. Thinking people question the gubmint.
The gubmint wants non-thinking, subservient sheep. Therefore, skools will continue to suck.

Emerging solar plants scorch birds in mid-air
http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/emerging-solar-plants-scorch-birds-mid-air
IVANPAH DRY LAKE, Calif. (AP) — Workers at a state-of-the-art solar plant in the Mojave Desert have a name for birds that fly through the plant’s concentrated sun rays — “streamers,” for the smoke plume that comes from birds that ignite in midair
Federal wildlife investigators who visited the BrightSource Energy plant last year and watched as birds burned and fell, reporting an average of one “streamer” every two minutes, are urging California officials to halt the operator’s application to build a still-bigger version.
The investigators want the halt until the full extent of the deaths can be assessed. Estimates per year now range from a low of about a thousand by BrightSource to 28,000 by an expert for the Center for Biological Diversity environmental group.
The deaths are “alarming. It’s hard to say whether that’s the location or the technology,” said Garry George, renewable-energy director for the California chapter of the Audubon Society. “There needs to be some caution.”
The bird kills mark the latest instance in which the quest for clean energy sometimes has inadvertent environmental harm. Solar farms have been criticized for their impacts on desert tortoises, and wind farms have killed birds, including numerous raptors.
Case in point….

“The way to crush the bourgeoisie is to grind them between the millstones of taxation and inflation.”
Vladimir Lenin
Chinese students, meh. In the end, they are just as dumb as we are. Here’s why:
Amerika: Fascist country, masquerading as democratic
China: Fascist country, masquerading as peoples’ republik
Amerika: necronomy based upon financial engineering
China: necronomy based upon fraud and currency debasement
Amerika: real estate markets in living dead mode
China: multiple ghost cities meant to hold millions of people
Amerika: stock markets pumped by ZIRP and risk-chasing
China: stock markets pumped by accounting fraud
Amerika: millions of people trapped in poverty
China: at least a billion people trapped in poverty
Amerika: nation at perpetual war
China: nation preparing to be in perpetual war
None of the leadership in either country has any claim to education (or even intelligence, for that matter). We elect rictus-faced hustlers, and China’s politburo promotes ham-fisted loyalists.
Lenin never actually said that, but the origin of that “fake quote” is interesting and there are some names familiar to this blog associated with it….

Sorry, toxic. I take it back. Lenin was a really good guy. Look at all he accomplished.
Keynes warned of the dangers of inflation and criticized Lenin? Who knew?
Although it is now overshadowed by his later work, Keynes wrote a brilliant and enduring book in 1919, in the aftermath World War I, titled The Economic Consequences of the Peace. In it, he states:
Lenin is said to have declared that the best way to destroy the Capitalist System was to deb@uch the currency. By a continuing process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens.
… Lenin was certainly right. There is no subtler, no surer means of overturning the existing basis of society than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose.

What it’s become is a bunch of hoods who are frustrated with the lots they’ve chosen in life. I hope it’s suppressed as quickly as possible from this point forward by whatever means are deemed necessary.

And Greenspan once believed in the gold standard. Amazing how all these necronomic geniuses become advocates for ass-b@nging the public when they ascend to power.
When will we get the results of anon’s autopsy?
I agree with you completely, as long as you separate out the protesters from those who are violent. I could guess at their complaints at this point in time… but it really is irrelevant because everyone has the right to protest as long as they don’t hurt other people.

This Ferguson thing is so crazy, I’d prefer to withhold judgment until all the facts are known.
However, a bunch of jungle bunnies looting up their own neighborhood and businesses does not make the Brown side look good. You’d think these people would loot and burn on whitey’s turf if they were so full of moral outrage.
Also worth noting that whenever dumb, violent shit is happening, Al Sharpton is in the middle of it.
Fox2 Missouri reported that when the first round of looters were arrested and charged with felony burglary, they were not even from Ferguson. People came from all over the area to take advantage of the situation.

@GuardianUS:
Nobody wants more violent protests. But, as MLK said: ‘a riot is the language of the unheard’
http://t.co/TtYdWYFlwM via @GaryYounge
“For good reason, the nature of such rebellions troubles many. They attract opportunists, macho-men and thrill-seekers as well as the righteously indignant and politically militant. Resistance to occupation is often romanticised but never pretty. And Ferguson – a mostly black town under curfew in which the entire political power structure is white, with a militarised police force that killed a black child – was under occupation.
Riots are also polarising. They narrow the base of support for campaigns, sending potential sympathisers into the arms of the state, demanding a police crackdown. People ask: what could violent protest possibly achieve? It is a good question. But it only has any validity if they also question the nature of the “peace” preceding it. Those who call for calm must question how calm anyone can be in the knowledge that their son, brother or lover could be shot in such a way.
People have a right to resist occupation, even if we don’t necessarily agree with every method they use to do so.”
re: # 73 – Yep there are even some OWS white boys there too. Al Sharpton and his provocateurs are now only warming up.
Let’s also not forget it is already election season.

“Commissions meticulously identified many dimensions of racial exclusion. One panel in Cleveland, where the Hough neighborhood had erupted a year after Watts, listed:
“inadequate and sub-standard housing,”
“charging of exorbitant rents by absentee landlords,”
“non-enforcement of the housing code,”
“sub-standard educational facilities as a consequence of long neglect,”
“excessive food prices,” and
“denial of equal economicopportunities.”
The report on Watts had similarly highlighted chronic unemployment, education, and health care resources. It concluded with a searing call to action:
The road to the improvement of the condition of the disadvantaged Negro which lies through education and employment is hard and long, but there is no shorter route… Of what shall it avail our nation if we can place a man on the moon but cannot cure the sickness in our cities?”

Watching the overnight video of the looting is mind boggling, typical smash-and-grab with the cops looking the other way. It must be gut wrenching for a cop to tow the line in this case.
The looting isn’t put to a stop until the owners show up after 15 minutes packing. One bystander claims the owners were “getting an education.”

Besides statements, has there been more evidence as to who did what first (talking about when the cop car drove up to the two walking in the street) ?
The police in Ferguson should utilize the same tactics that the New York Police used in Zucchini Park.
Glad to see the participants of this blog are finally coming around to what I was saying about this case last week. Thank the media for taking a robber/thug and making him a hero after he assaults a cop and gets shot. His actions didn’t deserve death…blah blah blah. If he wasn’t acting like a thug, he would still be alive. I have no mercy for these type of people.
Society is a better place with him not walking the streets. I thank this officer. There I said it. Now bring on the attacks. I’m sure that entrepreneur that got robbed agrees with me.

News tip from law enforcement source: #MichaelBrown Brown was charged with 2nd degree murder as a juvenile. Confirming now… #Ferguson
A long time ago, when I was researching information on nj real estate. I was looking for my second home from late 09 and finally bought in dec 2011. I lurked from 09-13. Jumped in early 2013 in my quest to find out politically who I am. So I started debating with you political vets. Been jumping around the past year from side to side, and currently have found myself in the middle. Have been vehemently hated by the members of this blog during this process of finding myself politically. I know it’s annoying, but you only can find yourself politically through debate with intelligent people. You learn a lot with the back and forth nature of the debate.
This past week, I have probably turned into a racist in the eyes of some on this board. I swear I am not. If this kid was another race, I would feel the same exact way that I do. I hate criminals. Bottom line. Thug life culture is a criminals paradise. I hate it. One of the worst things a child can do to their parents is become a thug. F them. They ruin everything, and must constantly be locked up like an animal.

ISIS is a much bigger issue than Ferguson. Thousands of innocent law abiding citizens will lose their homes, valuables and lives because Obama is too much of a pragmatist. Yet, so much of his recent focus is in defense of a gangbanger thug who stole blunts and punched a convenience store cashier. What is it with Democrats and cigars? Every time you mix the two their approval ratings go down.

What student rankings would the US receive globally if they only counted whites and Asians? (i.e. cultures not frequently actively hostile or indifferent to the concept of education). The Chinese scores on these rankings are especially fake. They only count students in Shanghai, and I suspect the Chinese government make sures to weed out the Shanghai ghettos from that as well, to prevent the scores of their ~400 mn semi-literate peasants from delivering national humiliation. I’m guessing Cuba scores well too.
“the president’s go-to black leader” Al Sharpton said he the kid was just shop lifting as if he was casually making off with a loaf of bread under his coat.
The DA says differently.
“The use of physical force in a robbery. If someone is stealing, and another person makes an attempt to stop them, and then physical force is used to complete the act that is strong-arm robbery.” A class C violent felony.
Of course Al also has to weigh in on his TV channel too.
Sharpton told MSNBC’s Tamron Hall on Monday that he thinks possible presidential candidates have a responsibility to speak out about the situation in Ferguson.
“This is now a national, central issue, and anyone running for president needs to come up with a formula, or, in my opinion, they forfeit their right to be taken seriously,” he said. “I’m amazed that we’re not hearing from leading candidates … Chris Christie or Jeb Bush or Hillary Clinton. I land in New York this morning, and I see Chris Christie dancing with Jamie Foxx.”

The officer then went to get out of the car and the deceased pushed the police cruiser shut. The officer then got out of the car and the 2 suspects pushed him back in, punched him and went for his gun. The gun went off, the suspects ran and the officer called for backup. The officer chased the suspects to which the deceased turned around and charged the officer. The officer responded by firing multiple shots. The other suspect did not charge the officer and put his hands up to surrender.

Student rankings are not a uniform metric that you can apply from country to country because none of them take the same standardized tests.
Here in lies the problem.
Our best students in NJ are in Calc 2 as a senior. Our best students are in AP Physics C (Calc Based) as a senior.
Just about every other modernized nation’s best students are in Multivariable Calc as a senior and AP Physics C by Junior Year. Our best students are more than capable. The curriculum that we have set within this country holds them back.
Moreover, we keep looking for creative ways to teach kids to improve their performance. It’s always a racket. Meanwhile, industrialized nations cut the BS and just friggin teach.
Stop!!! People want this to be about an 18 year old African American college bound kid that was a gentle giant who was good to the neighborhood kids, but was gunned down in the street by some racist white cop. Keep it to the story people want to hear. They still want to riot and rob some stores. Don’t ruin it for them.

And who charges a cop when they have the weapon pointed at them, I hope they are doing a toxicology report.
Preliminary autopsy report on Brown already released — he had MJ in his system.
Maybe it’s me, but if I am a good enough shot to him someone in the arm a few times, why couldn’t I hit them in the leg or a body shot?
A firearm is deadly force, and only justified if the shooter is in fear for his life or the life of others. If the shooter only aims to wound, it could be used to show that he didn’t truly fear for his life; therefore he wasn’t justified in opening fire in the first place. Shoot to kill only.
And still don’t understand how a stop for jaywalking ends up with 6 shots being fired into him?
To me, the only shot that matters is the first one. If the first shot was justified, the shooter is justified in emptying his magazine (see above, deadly force meets deadly force). Maybe the target is recoiling from a shot to the arm; or maybe he’s winding up to throw a hammer at your head — you bet your life? Pull the trigger through until the target is down or the weapon clicks.
No imagination. So their entrepreneurs become efficient at ripping off American technology. Everything they have is a rip-off of USA creativity baby!!!
Yet they’ve engineered a system in which every invention made in the USA instantly becomes their profit leading to the US being further in debt.
Brown was stealing cigars. One need not perform a drug test to know he smoked jays. Heck, I’m sure 90% of the population of Ferguson did. And these progressive reporters goading the police just need to stop already. They are more transparent than Anon.

Cost of raising a child in the US is nearly nothing if you have no income. The government will pay you to breed them and neglect them, as long as you promise to send them to state run indoctrination camps and press the donkey button.

anon – The police in Short Hills fired way less than 49 in 2011. Apt comparison right, let’s not worry about silly things like population #’s or anything else that gets in the way of moronic comparison.
Ahhh I thought MJ makes you get the munchies but I don’t smoke it.
So the first shot is what matters…its either no shot or empty the clip. I’ve heard that said before, seems like a waste of bullets if one or two well placed shots can put them down.
