Shooting at GOP baseball practice, multiple injured incl/ Maj. Whip Scalise

Crazy how similar far right and far left facebook profiles are. Different politicians and messages but they look the exact same.
 
Now for a couple weeks of Republicans feigning shock at the culture they helped cultivate. Not like dissonance is anything new for them, though.
 
This guy combined with the "he was a Bernie bro!" narrative from the Portland stabbing guy are going to give a shitload of fuel for the right. Fan-fuckin'-tastic, ugh.

Yeah well. Go read a book, kiddo. Or talk to some of those privileged white cisgendered jews still alive who survived this literal hell on earth. When they were children. Like my granddad for example. I'd give you his AOL address, but he died 10 years ago from brain cancer, madly raving in his last moments about how his mother was dust in the air.

That evil, evil, white cisgendered oppressor.

Getting shot has got to suck. I'm sure these guys are going to learn all the wrong lessons from this experience, unfortunately.

Oh undoubtedly. The lesson learned here will be the inherent logic needing to better control liberals or the mentally ill rather than guns.
 
Almost all of his tweets are Bernie-related.

This is gonna be bad for Bernie bros. They're going to have all of the right and the left on them.

So you are saying that being discriminated against is comparable to being rounded up and put into concentration camps to be killed? Really?

Yes we have progress to do in those areas, and discrimination is terrible, but come the fuck on.

reducing it to just "discrimination" as if people haven't actively died from their policy, but I mean...if you aren't affected it's easy to see how you might not think it's comparable.
 
The fallout is going to be bad. If the name is correct and his Facebook page is real...

Hope everyone recovers quickly and no one has life threatening injuries.

This is a very disturbing thread, and not only because of the history revisionist undertones set by comparing US politicians to Heydrich and the likes. Hell, people. I get that you don't feel sympathy for asshole politicians, but please don't maginalize the fucking holocaust and the NAZI death machine for this.

Read a goodamn history book. Your ruling class at the moment might be the worst in any western country baring Poland, but fuck it. Look at the simple anihilation of jewish people, of gay people, of sinti and roma, of political opponents, of simple folks that made a simple joke about the Führer. You can go out and joke about Trump, hell, you can VOTE his cronies out soon, you are NOT rounded up and put into camps and you are not being experimented on and burned alive and gassed and dismembered at the leisure of Trump.

For heavens sake, just go vote and protest and strengthen your local communities and get involved. Don't marginalize the horrific death of millions in your internet rage.

In a lot of districts that simply doesn't work anymore. The system is rigged and people are starting to lash out. They will continue to lash out more as Trump's presidency continues.

But you know minorities are already shot in the streets by police with little to no consequences and/or sent to prison or jail at a much higher rate than any other group, right?

It's not on that scale, but, this is also beyond simple discrimination. Discrimination being a core feature of American values does greatly facilitate the shootings and imprisonment against minorities, though. Along with the associated reality that society makes it harder for a minority to recover from those situations vs. whites.

All the momentum from the hearings and bad news for Trump.. most likely gone cus of this idiot. Thanks asshole bernie bro.

Trump isn't particularly good at building support from tragedy. Right off the bat his team was out there spreading lies about some guy asking parties or whatever and trying to pin the blame on the Democrat party.

And nobody was seriously injured, they caught the guy, alive, and he's an old white guy.

Seems like this won't really change anything. The Russian investigation doesn't magically go away. The healthcare fight isn't going away. Nothing is really changing beyond a day or two of news.

There is no discussion to be had with you I see, if you truly believe they are comparable.

96 people will be killed by guns today in America. Kids. Cops. Criminals. Grandmas. Bystanders. Passengers.

This is a thread about the attempted murder of other people.

What you have mentioned is obviously tragic, but it has different ramifications when elected officials are targeted for political motivations. You are deflecting.

What's interesting, if you been following demographic trends, the alleged shooter is part the population that has seen the highest rates of suicides in recent years.

https://www.psychologytoday.com/blo...hite-middle-age-suicide-in-america-skyrockets

Suicide, once thought to be associated with troubled teens and the elderly, is quickly becoming an age-blind statistic. Middle aged Americans are turning to suicide in alarming numbers. The reasons include easily accessible prescription painkillers, the mortgage crisis and most importantly the challenge of a troubled economy. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention claims suicide rates now top the number of deaths due to automobile accidents.

It's a very complex topic why, but the shooter fits the bill here.

A Bernie sanders fan. This could kill some of the momentum the democrats have had lately.

Considering we've recently had a mass murder in a black church and Trump was elected.

I don't think people actually care that much about political motivation in the grand scheme of things.

Going on shooting sprees won't help there, sorry. And I get the concept of gerrymandering, that's why protesting and strengthening your own communities is important. And voting in the midterms. I'm really sorry, but if I look at historical data of U.S. midterms, it seems to me as if liberals and minorities just don't vote there. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but this IS an opportunity you guys have. USE it. Or please just teach me about why you're not able to.
