PROVIDENCE, R.I. � Police say a Rhode Island dealership owner
who was struck with a two-by-four in a fight over a junk-car
deal that went wrong has died.

Providence police Maj. David A. Lapatin says I Buy Junk Cars
owner Jonathan Stack died Saturday night, a day after the
beating.

Customer Daniel Lastarza was charged Friday with two felony
assault counts in Providence District Court. Police say the
charges will now be upgraded to murder.

The 48-year-old Lastarza had been ordered held without bail in
connection with a previous probation violation. It wasn't clear
Sunday whether he had a lawyer.

Police say they believed the fight occurred when the 34-year-old
Stack tried to get his money back over the $400 junk-car deal.

This could have been prevented, if only the federal government had
enacted common-sense lumber control legislation.

Those semi-auto 2x4s are capable of several clouts a minute and don't
have to be reloaded.

At the very least there should be a limit on the length of a 2x4 that
can be carried in public. If a shorter piece was all that was legal
the blows might not have been fatal.

I don't know, wouldn't a sawed off 2x4 have a faster swing, similar to
a semi auto baseball bat?

Sawed off 2x4s need to be made illegal too. Only unmodified 2x4s sold
by licensed 2x4 dealers should be available. And purchasers should be
required to fill out a background check and be subject to a 3 day
waiting period before they can take possession of their 2x4. And no
one should be allowed to buy more then one 2x4 per month. And it goes
without saying that no one should be allowed to ship a 2x4 across
state lines without going thru a licensed 2x4 dealer who will ship it
to another licensed 2x4 dealer in the other state. And no 2x4's
within 1000 feet of a school. No 2x4s inside a bank or court. And no
open carry of 2x4s, it scares too many people.

Nice attempt, but not sufficiently restrictive. We need an outright ban
on 2x4s. Nobody actually needs one and they're much too dangerous in
the hands of untrained civilians. Only the military and police should
be allowed to possess 2x4s, and if one is used the user should be put on
temporary suspension until the investigation is completed.

It's for the children.

What you people are really pissed about is the car dealer didn't have
a gun and wasn't able to shoot the guy. After all, selling somebody
crap then fucking them up when they complain is a good conservative
atrribute. I think we should force all car dealers to carry guns
then that would prevent anybody complaining about being sold junk.

After all, responding with violence when they think they've been
wronged or their opinion differs from someone else is a good liberal
trait.

> I think we should force [..]

Forcing people to do things is usually the FIRST solution you think of
isn't it?

Ah yes, conservatism equates to violence...just as liberalism
equates to shitting on police cars during public occupy
gatherings, bombing innocent civilians, and mass shootings in
theaters and places of education, with quite possibly the
exception of Sandyhoax.

Conservatives usually only resort to violence when they have to
put liberals down.

In the ground.

No, because you can easily convert it to a 2x4 in violation of the law.

Are you a member of the military or a recognized police force? If not,
no.

"Soft" is not an actual hardness descriptor. Balsa is a hardwood. Go
figure.
