Due process is a nebulous term that legalese speakers can twist and turn whichever way they need. The law informs you of what is not allowed and in doing so tacitly informs you of what is allowed. Obama skates that thin edge with the best of them.

I always cringe when I see someone going that fast on a skate, wearing shorts.

Do people realize the whole "if a good guy owns a gun" goes both ways? I love this argument because it's so one sided and utterly blind. I'd like to call it the "dumbass argument".

Let's think for a moment: kids looking for friend suddenly have a man open fire on them, so they all pull out their firearms to protect themselves from the raving lunatic old man who opened fire on them first. Old man is dead, riddled with dozens of bullets. Good guys win. Oh . . . wait. That's not what happened. The good guys didn't have a gun. Or was the old man a good guy? I'm confused now. Who's the good guy?

We had something similar here in Florida where a man was going door to door to sell lobster. Homeowner shot him in the head as he walked away, kept shooting him, and went to reload while an officer was trying to arrest him.

The real issue is the fact this man, and the man in my example, simply thought owning a gun meant they could shoot and kill someone for almost a pathetic reason. Both were "defending my home" against the evils of lobsters and ice skating. I believe this is the movie line of "shoot first, ask questions later." This is what is referring to as the "gun culture."

Yeah, guns (unless it's a colt) don't kill people, people with guns kill people. But there's an old mentality (that's pretty much dead now) that using a gun was cheating. That using a gun wasn't personal, so they resorted to swords and fists. Now, it's so easy to kill a person that it's almost impersonal just to shoot at some brown kid who's "invading" your home by showing up in a car, knocking on the door politely, and asking "Dónde está Paul?"

So anyway, now that we're arguing on the internet . . . .

To be fair, "Hello, let's go ice skating" in Mexican does sound an awful lot like, "We will burn your house down, old man!" with the right intonation.

Can you guys come to Montreal, please ? Pretty please ?

Our streets are done for over here. I'm thinking of selling my rollerblades because after this winter, it'll be impossible to skate anywhere.

That lovely skating vid you shared with me ended its medley with this song. One of my favorites ever.

The kids going roller skating made the dealers go roller skating.. seems to me they haven't avoided the dealers so much as fooled the parents and advised the dealers of a more secured dealing location.

He mentions in some of his other vids that he's a 42-year old construction worker. With no health insurance. Which is why he holds back when he shreds at the skate park.

AS REPORTED by the BBC 17 October 2012, the decision by Home Secretary Theresa May to block the extradition of British computer hacker Gary McKinnon to the US is scrutinized by the UK press with most overjoyed that Captain Asperger gets to skate on having hoses and wires connected to him should he be hauled to the United States and made an offer he might be unable to refuse....More on this broken story, as it envelops!

How could you forget Skate or Die Hard? John McClane must go undercover to infiltrate a group of young skater punks before their out-of-control loitering and handrail grinding brings [insert popular American city] to its knees.
