Shawn Johnson Under Tight Surveillance

46. Mr. Getreal, once again, your flawed logic helps me make my point. Yes, if all guns were destroyed, there would be no more death by guns. However, criminals would then resort to other weapons, such as knives, clubs, chemicals and what have you, so the elimination of guns is a moot point.. Again, guns do not kill, people do. Unfortunately, there always have been, and always will be, criminals that will find the means to harm innocent people. It is the nature of man. Your utopian ideology, while admirable, will never be achieved because of this nature, regardless of any legislation the government enacts. Because of this, intelligent men and women must have the means with which to defend themselves. Yes, guns are designed to kill, and are very effective at it - a very comforting thought should a criminal try to harm my family or myself. You are incorrect, however, on a couple of points - first, I do not own an assault rifle. I do, however, own a shotgun and a pistol, and contrary to your assertion that I would use it to place an order at a fast food establishment, the only time either would be pulled out of safe keeping would be in the event that someone were trying to harm my family, friends or myself. You are also incorrect that I masturbated to pictures of George Bush. I am heterosexual and happily married. Also, I don't think he was a very good leader at all, and was glad to see him go. Again, you can't argue your point with verifiable facts, so you resort to sarcasm and insults, only to further prove your ignorance. Pray harder to Obama - you are slipping.

47. Hey Nexjn... run away 'cause you is sooo scared wit-out yer weapon? Most gun-lovers have a big mouth when their gun's on'em, ...
no gun...no can take the fight.
Truism: Gun lovers are cowards.
Only a coward chooses to settle arguements with bullets. It takes a real man to face adversity with intelligence and knowledge.
Nexjn... you're a fool. You'd drink the cool-aid at Jonestown...pathetic.

48. You people going on about guns killing people and people killing people and dogs killing people are morons. One is a hunter or some other NRA clone wannabe and the other thinks we need to hold hands and think about how great it would be if the planet were as green and safe as life on planet Gore.

You are both idiots. Even more so for debating the point on the TMZ message board; which is trolled by loser promoting their websites, extremely obese housewives using NetZero to dial-up the Internet from their trailer and me. :-P

Now go to classymengel where they use activex controls to psuh trojans and viruses down to your computer. Many celebrities have their computers infected there.

49. PS

We've been talkin' 'bout GUNS... not knives and bats and rocks... GUNS. Stick to the issue.
You say without guns - there would still be violence... duh... you so smart.
But without guns... there would be a lot less violence, a lot less killing, a lot less crime.
Try robbing a bank with a knife or rock or lightbulb... not as easy - give some criminal an assault rifle and bingo... suddenly he's a bank robber.
Gun escalate vilonce, lead to violence, and are impetus to create violence.
Ever hear about the morons who get insulted vebally... leave... come back an hour later with guns and kill the insulter...
That violence is particular to guns... didn't come back with stick did they.
Guns and guns alone cause more violent death in the USA than other weapon... period. End of story.
And if you only feel a shotgun and pistol are in order for protecting your family then I guess you wouldn't be against the ban on assault weapons?

50. Have a nice day, Mr. Getreal.

51. OH KEN... you vacuous pseudo-intellectuals make me want to slap syrup on my meatloaf.
With your vast knowledge of the TMZ demographic... I have only to ask you this...

which one are you?
Lemme guess... you're a fat, sweaty loser trolling the message board on your net zero dial-up from your trailor looking for an intellant debate to disrupt because you are threatened by IQ's over 10.

Well, take your shaved-head-'cause-your-partially-bald down to the crick, have another beer and pee into the wind.
The uneducated are truly boring...

52. Take care, Nexjn...
I enjoyed your vitriol.
Happy TRails.

53. Leave Shawn alone. She's on the show because the producers ASKED her to, not because she can't bear not to be in the spotlight. She's a 17 year old girl, and no matter what she shouldn't have to deal with having a man who is almost 40 years old stalking her and threatening her safety. I don't think you guys realize how bad this could have been. She could have gotten kidnapped or even killed, and you're sitting here called her a "has been"? Leave the poor girl alone.

54. It's really such a romantic story. I know how the guy feels. I feel the same way about Dakota Fanning.

55. If her "personal bodyguard" is an off duty lapd cop, she should be careful he doesn't molest her. Lapd cops are all perverts!

57. It figures. An article about an Olympic class gymnast being stalked and some rightwing nuts bring Obama into it. Grow up losers.

58. Whats wrong with all of you?!!? I look up to her as a role model shes a sweet innocent girl who doesnt deserve to be talked about like this she didnt do anything. That stalker freak did! And yeah she was a olympian and yeah she didnt win all around but she didnt go on the show to forget that they invited her to be on the show!! So why dont you all get over yourself you people seem more like the ones that want the attention.No one deserves to be put in fear like that espeacilly as innocent and young as shawn!

59. What is the matter with you idiots? She is a talented young woman who is making the most of the opportunities presenting themselves to her. Like we wouldn't go for the bucks? I can see not being a fan, but the venom you are spraying on her is unbelievable. For once, the young girls have someone to look up to who isn't a druggie, drunk driver, or skank. Leave her the hell alone. She is a scared 17 year old girl from Iowa who never knew the kind of people there would be in SoCal. Shawn's parents: open your eyes and take her back to Iowa and maybe she can be normal again. There are no signs of intelligent life out here!!
