Of course Arenson is a wing-nut conservative that loves guns. She has more blood on her hands than any she mentions. Of course she has to mention the bible since thinks that it makes her better except she who is without sin should throw the first stone and this wing-nut is hardly without sin with her hands so bloody.
so tell me, who has she killed that makes her hands so bloody you bigot? you know her so well- you must to make some petty accusations. just quit while you’re ahead, you have nothing intelligent to say.
Good comments, Betty
The anti police protesters are shaking the crazy tree, and the crazies are falling out to do their dirty work.
In the words of a famous philosopher “Can’t we all just get along”
How refreshing to hear a conservative admit that rhetoric can influence the mentally ill to do horrible things.
I assume you will also be penning an article blaming Palin & Beck and others for the Gabby Giffords tragedy.
And of course all of the members and leaders of the Tea Party for the slain officers in Las Vegas.
I look forward to your column, no doubt, calling them out as well for their violent rhetoric which caused death.
I’m sure it’s coming, right?
*crickets*
Talk about out of touch. Wow. No words.
Bravo.
Another disgustingly misinformed, lowest common denominator editorial from Mrs. Aronson. Can always count on her to spew skewed hatred and bile.
Sean, I’m curious to how she spewed hatred and bile. Everything she wrote about is true. And to top it off can be backed up by concrete facts
You can’t reason with a liberal. I shake my head at their way of thinking…….. they spew hatred at our way and then accuse us of being the bad guy .
I agree Sharon! What she wrote was true! And we all know it. Liberals just want to argue and disagree
First and foremost, why label me as liberal? That in itself is the ignorance and judgment I referred to. Secondly, she gave her opinion-she presentedbher version of the truth. I will come back later when i have the time and completely dismantle all the “facts” in her piece.
when you have time? or when you can get your foot out of your mouth you insignificant little maggot?
I agree with the ‘blood on their hands’ statement. And it’s from the top (Obama) down. He played the racism card over Trayvon Martin when he said if he had a son, he’d look just like Trayvon.. Don’t you think he should have been middle of the road in that situation?
Sharon, I took President Obama’s remark to mean he could empathize with the Martin family losing their son. Regardless of what you think happened, he was killed and someone lost their son. Nevermind that all the facts point to a vigilante idiot who went looking for trouble and killed a kid minding his own business in a neighborhood he knew-don’t trouble yourself with what actually happened. Instead let’s focus on misinterpreting what the president said to fit your agenda.
Oh by the way, I am not a liberal. I am a compassionate human being who fully supports civil rights, law enforcement, and the Bill of Rights. So before you label me-come correct, Sharon. You have no label to easily categorize me. But if you want to intelligently discuss an issue-without dismissing me because of your own Fox News agenda-then let’s go.
Okay. Forgive the liberal reference. But clearly you’re rewriting history with your representation of what happened with the Trayvon Martin events, apparently to fit your own agenda. “Nevermind that all the facts point to a vigilante idiot who went looking for trouble and killed a kid minding his own business in a neighborhood he knew-don’t trouble yourself with what actually happened.” Seriously? And don’t kid yourself into thinking Obama’s remark wasn’t self serving and meant to spur a huge divide between black and whites. He set back history 50 years with that one statement. And then followed with a like state by Sharpton over the Ferguson incident.
Sharon, I am not sure what you think you know about the Trayvon Martin case, but what I said characterized it very well. I have no agenda. I am only interested in seeing things as they are. I get the sense you have created a nice little bubble for yourself, and in that bubble racism evidently ended when segregation was outlawed. It sounds cozy, but it just isn’t the world we live in.
Sean you’re blowing smoke all over the truth. You may not be a liberal but I would say you’re a sympathizer of the liberal persuasion. I see you posting over every comment here stirring up strife with all that you disagree with.
I will say again-why does everyone treat being liberal like it’s criminal?
You all sound full of judgment and need to check yourself. None of you that have objected to what i have said have presented one fact-it’s all judgement and opinion.
You are truly an ignorant person. Go dust your Kinkade painting, you out of touch bag of bones.
I always forget that you’re watching, Rachel. Now I feel bad.
It always shows up. Facebook knows I love your community participation. My personal favorite was the school board Nazi of SCV.
It’s always a storm of nutty out here.
Perfect!!! Could not have said it better myself
I Think Sean AND Jared Can’t Read gooood
Well. Can’t read well. Go finish school
Thanks but it was intentional. Hence the extra oooooo
You is right James, I don’t read good like you. You is way smarter than me.
Perfectly said !! :-) don’t pay attention to those nimwits above ^^ there’s always a few of them lying around waiting to come out with there idiotic spew.
*their
Thanks Brian my auto corrects words for me when I don’t need them and I don’t exactly notice until it’s done posting. :-)
Absolutely spot on Mrs Aronson!
Is a nimwit anything like a dimwit? And what exactly does “perfect said” mean? Sorry, I’m sure it’s me but I can’t keep up with your obviously advanced grammatical skills, all of which were very effective in making ME look like the idiot you described me as. Well done.
I have blood on my hands? Dean, in what universe does my opinion about this editorial make me responsible even indirectly for any of the violence that has taken place? What an irresponsible thing to say. But I guess in the absence of intelligence you insert blame and judgement, just like Mrs. Arenson did.
Yes, Al Sharpton and the rest have blood on their hands!
How clever Dean-deleted your last comment because you got called out and then change your tune? What a cowardly thing to do. You don’t seem to have anything of value to offer so maybe it’s time to for you to disconnect. Bye bye.
Good ol’ SCV attitude. And people wonder why this valley has such an “ignorant redneck with an SUV and UGG boots” reputation?
That’s an intelligent response. Stereo-typing the Santa Clarita community rather than intelligently responding to the OPINION of the article. Address what’s in front of you and don’t blame others for your own ignorance.
Wow.
Hey Jared-I could not agree more. In the interest of not just posting replies to ignorant posts, I would like to offer a counter-point to this editorial. It seems to me that this country had a serious problem with communication, as well as distinguishing the difference between assessment and blame. There is responsibility to be taken with everyone involved, but how much responsibility and which side it belongs to is the question. I will nutshell this-racism in this country still very much exists, including in with law enforcement. Now, did racism cause the Ferguson and NY incidents? That is up for discussion. But to dismiss it is irresponsible and keeps us from learning when this type of thing happens. Here is the other ossue for me-it IS possible to FULLY SUPPORT LAW ENFORCEMENT AND STILL QUESTION THEIR PROCEDURES, ETHICS, AND ACCOUNTABILITY.
I wrote that last part extra big for those of you who think there is only one side or the other. Were you listening Dean and Krystal? We all need to talk about what we can all do better-which includes listening to ALL sides, not just listening to the rhetoric that just reinforces what we already believe.
Blood stained hands? You are so full of crap. Watch some actual news once in awhile.
You are one sick decrepit piece of work and I can’t stand the fact that I grew up in a valley that could host a disgusting person like you. Engaging in false equivalencies and wrapping your wretched opinions and making political hay from the bodies of brutally murdered police officers – YOU are a big part of the problem. The vast majority of protestors decry violence and to take the actions of a warped and frustrated human being and twist them into an attack on them is the height of ignorance.
Blaming politicians/society for the actions of other adults is something the dispicable left does. But these men should feel sick over how they handled these situations, putting their own politics and twisted personal views over the good of society. Their words from their powerful platforms do make a difference.
Chris, it seems to me the conservative columnist who wrote tgis piece used her words to do the exact thing you are denouncing. So i am fairly certain there are people on both sides of the aisle acting despicably.
Not every social issue needs to be politicized, but I guess in the absence of a strong argument people will just call someone a liberal and attack their character because they have nothing of value to offer. Until the problem is addressed from all sides, and people start listening to and respecting each other-we will be doomed to continue repeating this country’s sometimes ugly history.
I’m stunned that you could write the following just a few hours ago: “Another disgustingly misinformed, lowest common denominator editorial from Mrs. Aronson. Can always count on her to spew skewed hatred and bile. ” And then follow it up with this, an hour ago: “Not every social issue needs to be politicized, but I guess in the absence of a strong argument people will just call someone a liberal and attack their character because they have nothing of value to offer. Until the problem is addressed from all sides, and people start listening to and respecting each other-we will be doomed to continue repeating this country’s sometimes ugly history.” So it’s okay for you name call, but as soon as someone calls you an evil name like Liberal, then all bets are off? I will stand by my assessment of you as being a liberal.
You say liberal like it’s a dirty word, Sharon. I’m sure labeling me makes it easier for you though, so be my guest. I stand by every word I wrote as well.
Also Sharon, i just re-read the comments of mine that you posted, and I don’t see where I name-called. Can you show me where I name called please?
Ridiculous article reeking of racism. She should be writing for the KKK , not sctv
Well said. If only peace and forgiveness were encouraged by these leaders instead of anger, you never know what might have happened, or rather might not have happened. You can bet on it that these officers families well deal with their deaths peacefully, and will be angry, but forgive their killers without condoning violence against anybody. If only people would deal with things rationally and use the golden rule, life would be good.
Stop spreading the hatred! ALL lives matter!!!
Stop spreading the hatred! ALL lives matter!!!
The truth spoken loud and clear.
The truth spoken loud and clear.
Well said Betty!!!
So true!!!
If she was so wrong how Come 30,000 police officers turned there back on the mayors speech on one of the murdered cops today at the memorial.. I guess the must be a hatred bias group of people too?
Not in agreement with this post at all. The Courts need to hear “regular people “, the police need to be color blind. Disagreements need to be heard in a peaceful way. Unfortunately history has shown that unless you have high priced lawyers and media you won’t be heard. If you riot you’re likely to be heard.
I believe Obama is making race relations better. He just has congress blocking his path. If you want change then stop voting for Republicans. Get them out of politics.
