Thankfully this article's far less offensive than the original one. There's a time and a place for jokes and opinions and luckily, Jane understands this.

I hope the lady who was shot will be ok and that they catch this guy. It's still a bit of a mystery as to what the suspect wanted to achieve in the first place. He doesn't appear to be leaving with any merchandise or money after all.

Sucks that she was shot over nothing since he didn't even steal anything.

Gosh, if I was shot in the shoulder, the guy better do it for more than an iPhone.

And just how many Apple retail employees have a CHL?

Why would you try to rob an Apple store? They don't hold much money, most of it's in credit. If you steal an Iphone, you will be robbed by ATT!

The point of such a policy is the notion that an employee MIGHT be concealing...

Oh who are we kidding, those Apple store kids are sitting ducks. What they need is a new position at the Genius Bar, a guy wearing a camo patterned Apple T shirt that says "I have a loaded gun on my hip". They might even have a chance of attracting the right wing crowd that way; who knows, it could pay for itself even if the store doesn't get robbed.

Some of the most die-hard gun nuts videos on YouTube shows that those gun-porn film producers prefer macs over Windows machines. Apparently, people who spend more time on reloading don't care extra few hundred bucks on computers and don't want to deal with computer problems. You're stereotyping people who work in Apple Store as liberal, gay, metrosexual or all of above, and showing your overall mental capacity by calling names on me.

Or maybe the country needs a complete ban on guns like the rest of the civilised world...

You mean, like former Soviet Union, People's Republic of China, Islamic Republic of Iran or United Kingdom under former Home Secretary Jacqui Smith, which all banned civilian possession of firearms? Ugh, I'd rather stay with unruly, rebellious Americans. Second Amendment doesn't mean nothing, especially during this travesty of USG taking over by Goldman Sachs & Friends.

Why is the criminality rate so high amongst the afro american population?

In Hollywood Florida we see constantly things on the news,and only very occasional it's a Hispanic or white guy.
Out of all the news I see here, on average 2 whites, 7 hispanics, and almost 41 afro americans hit the news in crime out of 50 news articles!

Problem is, Virginia is one of I think 3 states that do not allow Concealed Weapons Permits at all. Let alone, many employers buy into the B.S. and won't allow their employees to carry weapons if they have a permit to carry concealed. Some risk analysis folks claim that if more employees carry concealed weapons, the risk of someone being shot goes up.

Except that generally speaking, people who have Concealed Weapon Permits aren't the one's killing people. All it takes is ONE employee with a concealed firearm, to stop a rampaging shooter.

He COULD have been playing Postal 2 while using CrossOver... but then again... why the hell would you buy a Mac to play Postal 2? Not really too sensible. So you're argument still stands.

The State of Virginia do allow concealed carry permit. Only the State of Chicago (sarcasm) and Wisconsin currently denies concealed handgun permit.

The reason that those risk analysis companies spout out crap like that, is because a lot of employers don't like employees be armed. Consultant companies are usually hired in order for the employer to screw employees. They are the shield for employers to resist law suit by their employees, and can't be held liable for recommendation they made.

The bottom line is, a lot of those employers regard employees as mere peasants. There exists no feudal society which allows peasants to arm themselves.

There are so many factors making this the case. There are a lot of socio-economic factors behind this. Statistically, there are more minorities in most American prisons than "white" folks. Some of this comes down to cultural differences, and the general trend of higher levels of poverty (and therefore lesser education) among minority groups. This is not at all to say minorities cannot excel in this country (Michael Jackson, Barrack Obama, Colin Powell, etc).

However, because of these vast socio-economic disadvantages, many minority groups end up with higher divorce & single parent situations, which leads to less parenting/discipline, and potential psychological issues with children.

In turn, this results in a society who's children turn to gangs, drugs, violence, and such things because they aren't properly equipped not to do such.
