Another shooting fueled by an extreme right wing white supremacist

Too bad that Hillary voters never accepted the reality of her record either.

Clearly she posed the lesser risk of the two. It basically took deliberately ignoring how a president can empower certain people. In the case of Trump, those "certain people" were clearly people who should never feel empowered. But, this is America, and we love to pretend our actions have no effect or consequence on the lives of another.

What's "clear" to one person can be false to another.
You aren't now going to tell me that you have "The Truth", are you?

I would like to know how he got an AK-47. I was under the impression that fully automatic guns are banned except if you have a Federal Firearms License, which costs thousands of dollars and needs a ton of paperwork. It's mostly members of the military that have them, as far as I know. So how did a 19 year old get an AK?

He didn't. It was a semi-automatic SKS.

 

[Shadow Wolf]

Insignificant to you.
But not to some of us.
I say it's even more important than the OP's dubious
claim that Trump is culpable for this shooting.

Would accurate details of the gun have changed anything about the event?

It seems that I recognized it then.

No.
It's about influencing the regulation of guns with faux info.
Should fake news go unchallenged?

A legally obtained gun almost entirely excludes the possibility of it being an AK47.

When it's relative and not taking priority over a tragedy.

 

[Stanyon]

So out of curiosity then, how many times have you positively referenced white supremacist books throughout your lifetime?

What constitutes a White Supremacist book in your mind?

This thread isn't even about the tragedy, but rather blaming Trump.

Did you expect anything different?

 

[Epic Beard Man]

your response, SMH

Because there are no words in response to the level that you're on.

 

[Epic Beard Man]

No different than when black people berate other blacks for dating white people but we don't call them supremacists do we?

This has nothing to do with the thread.

See where this is going

No and the use of weapon was besides the point.

 

[Epic Beard Man]

Did you expect anything different?

From your intellect? No.

 

[Epic Beard Man]

You would (wood?) you lover of communamism you.

Please stop trolling

 

[Revoltingest]

I didn't expect this thread.
But then, I find it useful to not predict how posters will behave.
Prejudicial, ya know.

It was a commie gun with wood on it which means it was an AK47. Commies only produced one gun ever and that gun was the AK47 which you can identify easily because it has wood on it.

Who cares what gun was used. People died. A 6 year-old child died. The gun is irrelevant to the actual crime that happened and his reason on social media is more prominent.

I would classify myself as a conservative and I denounce Trump a lot. I don't view Trump as conservative or even a true populist or nationalist. I do realize that he is a symptom and not a cause, though. His rhetoric and policies is a product of our broken inter-ethnic relations, which have been worsening since the recession. They were horrible under Obama, too. (Not saying Obama caused it, either.)

Obama's ethnicity and the ignored anger and hatred in a specific population in this country spearheaded the hatred we see. Trump's "keeping it real" racism and bigotry just gives cause to the behaviors we see. I do appreciate the level headed conservatives such as yourself that can at least identify that the loss of life of this kind is wrong. Humanity in this country is struggling under this failed leadership.

But weren't the victims white?

That does put a kink in the armor of the debate.

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 tend to think it's the fake lunatic press sensationalizing and encouraging grandiosity of the subject matter. The more conflict the better for them. Sells like hotcakes. What better way then to stir people up in a frenzy and see what happens? Like throwing buckets of bloody meat into the ocean.
