American shoots, kills two climate activists in Panama.

Then you're either illiterate or disingenuous. Not only was my provided example clear, so were those that others have provided.

What's the point of this thread....
An issue to debate?
Trying to portray Americans as violent?

 

[Twilight Hue]

I hope the murderous turd spends the rest of his life in a Panamanian prison. It's a shame that this kind of self-righteous gun-toting scum has become the face of America these days. But it's who we have become to the world and to each other now thanks to our culture of selfishness, greed, violence, and willful stupidity.

I will say this wasn't worth killing another human being over and in a country where im guessing he isn't even a citizen in.

I'd agree this is going to far into extremes and proper justice for the victims and their families must be served.

Panama has some stringent gun laws as well.

There is an ever-growing percentage of Americans that feel exactly as this murderer felt in that moment. And as they grow in number, our system panders more and more to their angry, violent, self-righteous nature. To the point where they've attacked to Capital, threatened judges and politicians, and all with the approval of high government officials and major media outlets.

It matters. And the rest of the world is seeing this, and using it as cover for it's own acts of violence, as in Ukraine and Israel.

How we behave, matters.

Evidence?

Evidence?

The ever increasing numbers of Americans doing it.

And this guy was an armed American lawyer. In Panama.

The article clearly states he has dual citizenship.
Why it concentrated on the "American" part in the title is up for grabs....

I know right?
Letting them Panamanians have guns and all.

Oh yeah, you do know that the suspect has dual citizenship, right?

Shooting protesters in other countries?
Evidence?

Who else that is American had done something like this?

It's obvious!
I don't need no stinking evidence!

While there's little denying the source of this article is sensationalist reporting, it does draw attention to what has been a significant issue in Central America for some time, and that's the murder of climate and environmental activists in that part of the world. See:

So, this is political to you.

It's political to them. I merely made the observation. It's rather peculiar how defensive you are about this.

I was doing the same. Making observations.

Your the one mentioning the right wing.

I thought the mentality behind some of the reactions merited discussion.

OK.
It would be better to be clear.

Given that their reactions are central to the discussion, yes. What do you suppose it reflects?

I was just wondering what makes you think right wing.

There's nothing political here.

Just a homicidal lawyer with no control of his emotions.

One of the many groups that the right in the US despise is environmentalists. It's no particular stretch to make that connection
