On July 1, 1830, Edgar Allan Poe entered West Point as a new cadet with the Class of 1834, after having served in the Army for two years. But he was dismissed from the Academy less than a year later in February of 1831 for "neglecting his duties."
Legend has it that Poe was dismissed from West Point after he appeared at a parade drill on the Plain out of uniform--in fact without any clothing at all! He was reportedly only wearing white ammunition belts across his chest and a hat. But the more likely truth may be that he just stopped attending classes and training.
Poe published his third book of verse, "Poems," in 1831, dedicated to his fellow West Point cadets & funded by their subscription. After Poe left West Point, he continued to write, becoming known for his poems and short stories such as “The Cask of Amontillado,” and “The Tell-Tale Heart," now considered classics of American literature.
I got to meet Poe's great nephew who also attended West Point and graduated in 2017. He was a WR for Black Knight football team, which if you know the offense is akin to being that extra card you get in a new deck of cards. He did have 6 TDs in the 2015 season. Life's twists and turns with whom you meet and how paths are interwoven are so amazing, and IMHO, interesting.

So now you aren't defending the murder? You don't peak out of your darkened windows just waiting to shoot a kid for accidentally stepping on your lawn, or taking down your tech flag?
No murder.
and I only wait for the autistic kids. They're worth more points. (intentional absurdity to address your idiotic scenario)

I'm just saying don't fuck with people and don't get shot. That's what my post says, but keep on ignoring it.

Nope, I favor him being tried for murder for murdering someone. You're defending the murder. He could have just had her arrested for it. ACLU would have even taken up his side of it. Instead, he's a nazi murderer rather than just a nazi who has the right to display nazi symbols.
Liberty isn't all that scary for me. It seems pretty terrifying for you and the nazi though, holed up in your houses, terrified of your community rather than being a part of it.
run, baby, run...roll with your narrative. LMAO. As far as murder, welp, she'd have to die for that to apply, but you're rolling...
Now group me in with the Nazi and there you go...LOlz.

So if some black guy shoots a white guy in the back for taking a BLM sign out of his yard you’re OK with that?
I guess the idea of how a real Texan deals with the responsibility of gun ownership is different further north in the Panhandle....
race doesn't matter. Y'all runnin down rabbit holes. LOlz.
If you think I lean a certain way because of the politics of the people involved, you're making up your own script.

Who cares about nazis with 14 weapons who kill someone over something trivial? I would hope you do. The guy is/was a powderkeg. I guess its better off he only killed one person in the long run.
So you favor Minority Report type actions against citizens who display the wrong banners?
Liberty is scary as fuck, ain't it?

i'm sure you and your friends did plenty of stupid pranks. at any one of those times, some dipshit could've shot you because you were trespassing and fucking with him. per your logic you'd been, ahhh you're good, my bad, i deserved to get shot multiple times, me stealing your flag is reason enough for your shooting me in the back as i'm running away and presented no threat to you.
Life's full of choices, my friend. Consider the consequences.

How respectful to others is the display of a nazi flag?
On his property? Who fucking cares?
I said the same in the Confederate flag discussion. It's not illegal. It just tells where the idiots live.

Luckily there were fewer people with slorch's mentality back then.
respecting others is so wrong. and I know the bleedin hearts are going to say respect the trespasser.
Nope that ain't how it works. Not in the real world. Leave people the fuck alone.

You're right. It's public access. Just do what the fuck you will.

This didn't happen in Texas. Every other state (even Oklahoma) recognizes the insanity of using deadly force to protect personal property when there is no threat to human life.
Meh. Don't trespass and fuck with people...don't get shot.
Another thread, for sure...

Plus you know those cute little white girls from Colleyville or Centerville or Madisonville are just ready to rebel against daddy.
One of those ain't the same...like, waaaaaaay different. Your point still stands, but those communities are not similar.

What a fucking shit for brains. Wants to claim his connection to the Reich, but tacitly admits that apparently some Nazis broke for Argentina or Costa Rica or Los Alamos National Laboratory. This guy’s ancestors aimed for Garfield County, Oklahoma? As irony would have it, Goebbels had an inbred, idiot ass niece or something?
I equate nazi flags to confederate flags. Except at least one of those groups believed in science.
heel bone vs all heil.
