SectionC3

Wrong. Project more. You're trying too hard to be a victim here. One person killed him. Who came from Mormon culture, gun culture, and a MAGA family, and who played too many video games. Nobody's saying that Mormons or gamers or crappy MAGA parents are at fault. Stop projecting.

Who killed him? I’m not itching to get rid of him. I’m itching for him to leave. There’s a subtle difference. But I’m also not itching for a health issue, etc., for the guy. The observation here is that he is not well. It’s not political in the least. Just look at the picture.

Anyone who is familiar with stroke or TIA knows the story painted by that face. He needs to get checked out. It's ugly. Unbothered.

I'll skip the Trump insult and refocus on the deteriorating economy, broken campaign promises, and failure to lead and unify. This country is a friggin mess. It's thirsting for a leader who can meet the moment and unify. What about that was satire? It looked like performative anger and typical gaslighting from this perspective.

Lemme see. Maybe three or four people--not including the instant murderer--have done such things in a party of tens of millions of people. Party leaders condemn and disavow such things. Party platform generally involves empathy and inclusion, as well as such things as gun safety. On the flip side, the party that now claims to be one of empathy, and kindness, and inclusion, actually and literally kicked out members who condemned the political violence of J6. That party also accuses the opposition party of acting accordingly based on the actions of a few rogues that may or may not be members. This party also apparently now does not believe that there are "good people on both sides." So you can keep on mischaracterizing and painting with a broad brush and spewing your nonsense, or we can all work together, tone it down, and find a solution. Honestly, who cares? Live and let live. You probably do a bunch of dumb stuff that I wouldn't do. I thought you were conservative. Leave these people alone.

It extends and is then retracted.

You should try reading the constitution. Its protections apply to people, not simply to citizens.

Not true. At this point it’s one whack job who murdered one person. If he wanted to attack the party he had a pretty good chance to do so at that gathering.

Who is they? And the constitution applies to people.

Nothing else about a continuing investigation. No APBs for coconspirators. No apparent assistance leaving or targeting. Not to say he couldn’t have had help, but appears to have acted alone at this point.

I won’t argue with you. I too would like to know where we stand on yesterday’s calls to round up Democrats. I wonder if we’ll hear calls to round up gamers, or Mormons, or gun. culturalists knowing what we know now. Probably not. Not that we should. Point is that all of those frothy people, as you noted, need to chill.

So where are you on yesterday’s calls to round up democrats?

Does it matter? He’s apparently a lone wolf. It’s not like the Mormons shot Kirk. There’s crazies on both sides and both fringes, and they’ve each done wrong. It’s gotta stop.

It’s hard to rationalize that with Clay Higgins today and trying to revoke visas for peaceful protestors,

It’s both. From the five minutes I spent looking into the guy, it seems he has some pretty difficult things to say about minorities. And his approach is schlock. Prove me wrong is bogus. How about proving himself right in the first instance without summarily awarding validity to himself. It seems like what is behind the gates is not very good.

I was just thinking about that. I didn’t agree with Kirk’s views, but that’s neither here nor there. His death leaves a void that could be filled by someone similar, or by somebody extreme/more extreme, depending on one’s perspective. That might help moderate the country, or it might take it down a really bad path. I assume this is Andrew Tate, who I understand to be a misogynist and bad human. Is that the thumbnail?

Well I can see the civility already fading away. Back to commie this and commie that. And we wonder why we can’t have dialogue in this country anymore.

Life in prison is worse than the death penalty. Me too. Not my place.

Put a finger on it.

Looks like the other side consisted of video game weirdos here. Whatever side that is.

Others rush to judgment. Ahem.

You don’t know one way or the other. Rush to judgment.

From what little I know the shell casings relate to some online video game. So maybe there was a rush to judgment on the Antifa thing.

Again, how do you know? You’re rushing to judgment because you want something to be true. Really? How? Seems early for that, no?

He grew up in a Trump household from what little I’ve seen. Again, the paradox. Not to mention that you project his actions to an entire “side.” By that logic you’re culpable for Minnesota, Paul Pelosi, Josh Shapiro, J6, etc. (not that I think you are;. Just making the point.)
