In that thread RalphB posted something about how all these guys were getting jacked up because of racist and fascist crap on teh internet, and Dudley Morris response was 'The Koran?' Seems to be gone now though.

I saw some tool on a Facebook thread that said the Dayton shooter was a "progressive, Warren supporter." I can't imagine lying like that. How do you look at yourself in the mirror though, knowing you're that morally bankrupt?

How do you look at yourself in the mirror though, knowing you're that morally bankrupt? From what I've seen online the shooter was an irony poisoned bro with mild left of center leanings. He was also habitually abusive towards women and kicked out of school for making a hit list. Regardless of his political leanings, it does not erase the fact that a vast majority of shooters are white supremacists. Nor does not supporting Trump keep someone from being awash in toxic masculinity. If the Dayton shooter proves to be a mild outlier ideologically, that does little to erase the consistent pattern that has emerged regarding mass shooters and the complicity of the Right.

Sad. Mad in its heyday used to zing both sides. You mean they would have zinged gun victims too? What's wrong with "thoughts and prayers" anyway? Unlike dopey, hastily-conceived laws, they actually help real people deal with real personal losses. Assault rifles have been illegal for private citizens in the U.S. since passage of The National Firearms Act (1934). The U.S. media routinely refers to any legal semi-automatic rifle as an "assault rifle" these days to obfuscate Second Amendment issues for some reason. The AK-47 is actually a fairly popular hunting rifle and really isn’t all that powerful when compared to other hunting rifles. Its only problem is that it looks scary to those who don’t know better. Logic exercise;: -Actual 'right-wing' viewpoints support the Second Amendment and Constitutional limits on Goverment force, and often include a well-defined moral compass. -Random/targeted mass shootings are a devestating public relations disasters for gun ownership and Second Amendment rights...besides being a crime and a sin. -These acts (especially when endlessly trumpeted by the Media as they always are) can and do prompt the passage of ever-more restrictive gun laws and regulations. -Most actual 'right-wingers' that I've met since the Kennedy/Goldwater era have been just as moral and intelligent as most the of 'left-leaning' folks and moderates. Who benefits from these incidents? 1) The Media (24/7 content!) 2) The Regulatory State (more high-paid agency jobs!) The actual 1% Elites (disarm the peasants!) p.s. I use the classic right/left definition here, not the post-1939 'Joe Stalin' scale with Nazis on the far right and Soviet Communists on the far left (they're both socialist!) Nah, the fundamental problem isn’t guns, but a toxic combination of identity politics and anomie, both of which have been increasing in the USA over the past 40 years. Not sure why everyone rags on "thoughts and prayers" (T&P) all the time. To be totally honest, that's really all most people have to give in the immediate aftermath of these tragedies. Sure, some of the public pronouncements of T&P likely lack sincerity and are put on for show but I guarantee that the vast majority of the religious population who pray for victims of these tragedies mean if from the bottom of their hearts. Then again, most practicing Christians don't tell the world that they're issuing said T&P; they just do it. Read Heller (which doesn't propose unlimited ownership of firearms, btw). Then come back. Read. Heller. You are welcome. Talking to North Americans and West Europeans about issues of society and culture is an exercise in futility and frustration, however I'll say it succinctly and go peruse some threads about CDs: they are absolutely clueless. Mass immigration will annihilate their way of life and they are too indoctrinated to realize it before it's too late. The 21st century will be more traumatic than the preceding one. Posts like this are very helpful, because all I have to do is see who clicks "like" on it to know who the racist morons are on this forum whose contributions should be set to "ignore." Does anyone stop to think that maybe, just maybe, these shooters wouldn't become shooters if they weren't riled up by all the racist/fascist crap being spewed on Twitter/Facebook. Or Fox News, AM talk radio (Limbaugh, Hannity, Levin, etc.), and official White House communiques... I’d be willing to wager that you’ve spent little to no time actually listening to any of the above. No the nervousness is BS sold by the NRA to it's followers. Sensible gun laws are not the same thing as appealing the 2nd Amendment. You likely mean "its" and not "it's," the contraction of "it is." The good news is that no one has ever cited bad mastering as a reason for mass shootings. Let's say, hypothetically, that guns are no longer in the hands of citizens - at all. Wouldn't people who want to go out and kill many resort to bombings or running people over? Running people over? They already do that. Charlottesville? Exactly. Now imagine that kind of person (the driver) not just running over a counter-protestor simply because they were there but meticulously planning how many people he can kill. Say, going through a parade crowd? He could run over hundreds in less than a minute. Although the specifics here do seem to go against the usual implied narrative that it's always "one side" committing the acts of violence. I'm betting we won't be hearing about the leftist/socialist/Warren stuff on the news, just the usual. Maybe not, but in light of his pro-Warren comments, I'm sure she'll be deluged with questions about it from journalists! :biglaugh: That was sarcasm. It's funny because she will not be asked about it. You don't think she'll be asked by CNN to "denounce" his actions? :cool: Actually, I'm one of the few people here actually posting the facts, and not just being semi-hysterical.

Someone with access to the thread over there needs to report the conversation to vigi-link or whatever the company is that has their Amazon links all throughout the forum. I remember someone saying the adds are only allowed on forums with no political discussion.

I guess the Dayton dude really did claim to be some kind of leftist, and would vote for Warren (at least in one instance). I don't think he understands what he said he was supporting, but that certainly doesn't make it not true. I just assumed they were repeating Breitbart and 4chan BS. So now it looks like we have one that claims to be on my side. So I'm sure those guys want proper repentance from the left. OK. I condemn the dude and everything he did. I'm willing to give up all my gun rights to protect the citizens of this country on both sides of the political spectrum.
