Another shooting fueled by an extreme right wing white supremacist

[SugarOcean]

Who needs proof when one has prejudice & faith, eh.

I would leave faith out of it and just stick with the obvious; prejudice.
If faith was a factor, at least religious faith, not faith fake news would work, slander against our President, even by allusion as in this shooter being some kind of drone WS due to Trump, wouldn't even enter into the picture.

Nazis...white supremacists....I make no distinction in this context.
I still allow for both good & bad people to be on both sides

Oh boy, do you like your can of worms to be a large can? Or small?

I wasn't speaking of religious faith...just blind certainty.

Can't trust pictures any more.

Hmm... they all have a semi-Trumpese hairdo?

True.
I have a white tee shirt that reads. "WHITE (shirt) POWER" , on the front. And on the back, "BEHOLD THE POWER OF THE BLEACH"

Snowflakes don't get it. But it is fun to watch them scowl because they're reactionary, devoid of the capacity to exercise scrutiny and illiterate.

Meh...I've been called racist, misogynist, Islamophobic, etc, before.
It's nothing novel.

But because he identifies as black, it's necessary to view him as a victim of racism.
I only disagreed with him on some policies because I'm racist....so I was told here.

Though I didn't vote for him I saw some of the same things in the media then that is going on with Trump . Some of those who thought him as some sort of saviour vilified him because he didn't turn things around quick enough for them. I actually felt he was unfairly treated to some degree considering the mess he inherited.

Aye, criticism for criticism's sake becomes the norm.
Making things up is OK, so long as it justifies how one feels.

Either way, I have other examples that aren't pictures.
White nationalists mark Trump win with Nazi salute

Ok, I just thought it'd be real easy to photoshop this picture if someone really wanted to. Tends to make me not trust much what I find on the internet. Too easy to create fake news with today's technology.

What a joke!, right-wing extremists don't exist, this is just a sorry person, Islamic terrorism has killed more than ANY conservatives, liberals are VIOLENT, they hate everyone that disagrees with you, they call FOR DEATH THREATS for students on Covington Catholic, what BS, Left-wingers has lead people to SUICIDE, they have ruined so many people's lives, they are a CULT

When Trump was asked whether white nationalism was a problem Trump stated that it wasn't. Here, we have a shooter who killed several people including a 6 year-old boy who will never realize his potential.

I've said it before and I'll keep saying again that Trump's rhetoric is emboldening a specific sector of his base that is dangerous. I fear that if Trump gets re-elected, this sector of his base will only get more bold. However as a repricussion I do believe an extreme group on the left will form along with disgruntled and disinfeanchised people of the minority community will start targeting back.

I suspect no conservatives will be on board in channeling criticism against the divisive rhetoric of this so-called leader, but this needs to stop.

I am not a big Trump fan at all, but I can agree with him on certain issues and disagree on others. I find many things about his character disturbing and if I knew him personally, I probably would not like him, but I think playing the blame game is wrong, useless, and a distraction.

Each person is responsible for their own behavior. The shooter made the choice to deliberately shoot and kill people.

Laws did nothing in deterring criminals bent on killing each other in drug or gang activities, or innocent citizens, nothing.

Several years back Australia took drastic measures to reduce gun violence, and it's worked. To me there is a continuum of approaches we could take, it's not a black and white situation, and to me it's common sense that if we move across the continuum towards what Australia has done, we will see improvements. Not 100% black and white changes, but improvements.

In the case of Australia, was it in their constitution? Politicians here hailed New Zealand for swift action but it wasn't part of their constitution in the first place. Imagine what could be done if the 2A wasn't there, then when that doesn't work since words and books supposedly make people kill kill people then we could do away with the first amendment. It's a slippery slope for sure

Have fun with it I say.

Are you an Australian ? Australia has no unalienable right to keep and bear arms, so they tried to confiscate everyone's firearms.

I understand the death from firearms there is rising. I guess some people did not get the memo.

Oh, I am.
Tis easy when I know that whatever posters say about me,
I'll be judged according to their prior dealings with me.
Be it for better or worse, the name calling matters not.

BTW, are we next to read how all these roughly 300,000,000 guns in circulation in the U.S. are making us safer?

Does that mean there are 300,000,000 Psychopaths?

I might have to agree with you if that's the case. I mean you don't want 300 million Psychopaths running around and shooting up the place with 300 million guns.

 

[siti]

Does that mean there are 300,000,000 Psychopaths?

Nah! Some of them have two guns.

 

[Twilight Hue]

Nah! Some of them have two guns.

Yeah I think you're right. It's worse than I thought.

...it wasn't part of their constitution in the first place.

You do know why the "second amendment" is called an "amendment" don't you?

 

[siti]

Yeah I think you're right. It's worse than I thought.

No - you're 'right' - and it is much, much worse than you thought! But you gotta think about it.
