Support NeoGAF

[giga]

Muslims have to deal with assholes with assault rifles harassing them at their place of worship.

Christians have to deal with Target employees saying "Happy Holidays to them.


I think we all know who the real victims are.

Try to step into their shoes. Do you know how traumatic it is to see Starbucks cups without christmas ornaments?

 

[Frog-fu]

MuricanGAF - I don't think expect it - but has this been picked up by your media at all? I imagine most will still be preoccupied with the PP shooting and their hands are full with the one act of domestic terrorist act already.

 

[The Technomancer]

So who's gonna come in and defend this as part of free speech?

 

[Tagyhag]

Kinda off topic but everytime I see normal citizens carrying weapons like that it freaks me out. It just seem sooooo foreign to me haha.

Agreed, open carry is illegal for the most part in California but if it ever became legal I still think I'd walk or run away whenever I'd see someone brandishing a weapon.

 

[Bronx-Man]

If we don't let these brave citizens swing around their AK-47's like God intented, then we're not America anymore damnit.

 

[Netherscourge]

wow she definitely has that "girl, pls" vibe. brave shit though.
this whole situation is just dumb.

He sure as hell looks more like a terrorist than she does...

 

[Frog-fu]

Dude looks like Taliban/ISIS militia.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

That last saying is basically a threat. This guy should be on a watch list.

Yeah, he's not even basically or essentially, he IS saying that he'll kill Muslims.

It's taboo in (some/most/all?) states that allow open carry as well. There are lots of videos of people being stopped by police while trying to exercise their second amendment rights. Pro-gun people dislike them as well.

 

[Acerac]

I know it's been brought up already, but isn't this blatantly terrorism?

I guess the only thing that counts is how the media covers it... =/

These guys are a stone's throwaway from the KKK in its heyday when they ran down blacks on their horses and strung them up.

I just hope these fuckers get reigned in by the authorities before it escalates. These cunts are probably itching to have someone to confront them so they can fill them with bullets and claim self-defence.

If the death Trayvon Martin and so many others before and after him has taught us anything - or reminded us, rather - it's that "nigger got out of control, I had to put him down" is a legitimate justification for summary executions.

Can't see it being too difficult for that to apply to Muslims in the US as well.

 

[Sobriquet]

I feel like the second you cover your face you should lose your fucking right to open carry.

 

[Kuroyume]

Sharia law? How is that a thing in this country?

 

[ajim]

Thats terrifying.

How we're they not arrested? Or on a watch list?

Psychos...

 

[BennyBlanco]

Can't believe shit like this is legal. Open carry of assault rifles is fucking insanity.

 

[Shredderi]

What a time to be alive. The guy must be really glad that he doesn't look like a fucking idiot.

 

[Cyrillus]

Just some armed citizens exercising their 1st and 2nd Amendment rights by intimidating members of a particular religion.

Just like the founding fathers intended.

 

[soul creator]

Good ol' right-wing ideology and gun fetishism. Sigh.

 

[Gorger]

Can't believe shit like this is legal. Open carry of assault rifles is fucking insanity.

I am from Scandinavia and it's truly shocking to see. I don't know what to say.. I am totally speechless.. It's just pure insanity.

 

[Riki]

America becoming a third world country thanks to "true Americans"

 

[victreeb3l]

Sharia law? How is that a thing in this country?

It isnt. The mayor of that city became obsessed witth it. Fearmongering etc led to this shit.

 

[Rex Griswold]

Can't believe shit like this is legal. Open carry of assault rifles is fucking insanity.

Open carry anything is insanity. What purpose does it serve? None.

 

[Monocle]

Deport this delusional shitbag.

 

[old manatee]

What are the leaders in the white community doing to stop these terrorists?

 

[Seventy70]

This is incredibly ironic. It's straight out of some kind of fiction.

Terrorists forming in supposed defense against terrorism. The cycle continues over and over again.

 

[Coriolanus]

Open carry anything is insanity. What purpose does it serve? None.

If one must have a carry option, i'd rather it be open that concealed. At least this way you can see the idiots coming from further away and have a greater chance of preparing to react accordingly.

 

[XBP]

I find it absolutely appalling that a person could wear something like that (in the picture) carry a fucking assault rifle and everyone around them is ok with this? How is this even a thing in a modern first world country like the US?

Republicans have been trying to institute it for years, just with Christianity instead of Islam.

Welcome to the fascist America all Republicans dream of.

 

[Enzom21]

I think you mean patriotic, God fearing, aryan brothers.

 

[Sir Abacus]

I am from Scandinavia and it's truly shocking to see. I don't know what to say.. I am totally speechless.. It's just pure insanity.

Oh? Which part of Scandinavia? The Norwegian part that promised a one way ticket to Kabul, the Danish part which took out newspaper adverts in Lebanon to boast of refugee benefits being halved or the Swedish part that is destroying buildings earmarked for refugee use by way of arson?

People are shitty to refugees worldwide.

 

[You Know Nothing]

Republicans have been trying to institute it for years, just with Christianity instead of Islam.

That bothersome separation of church and state in the Constitution keeps getting in the way of their idealized theocracy.

 

[JustenP88]

Right-wing gun fetishists are by far the most dangerous people in America. We could let in 1,000,000 Syrian refugees and that wouldn't change the situation.

 

[Mr. Giggles]

Gotta remember: It's only terroristic threats if the ones doing it are muslim.

Duh! Every one knows that!!

 

[Trago]

Is this the Christian thing to do?

 

[Chie Satonaka]

This picture is perfectly capturing the absolute fuck ton of irony in this situation. First of all, why the fuck is his face covered? What a piece of shit, all of the people supporting shit like this are as well. THIS is just a form of terrorism as well as racism.

On his personal Facebook page, Wright wrote this week: “We should stop being afraid to be who we are! We like to have guns designed to kill people that pose a threat in a very efficient manner.”

What a fucking barbarian.

They're the closest thing we have to ISIS here in America. No need to worry about refugees. We've already got Americans who instill fear through the threat of violence for political reasons.

Exactly. Especially if you're a minority.

I know you're joking, but I've tried, and I bet it is absolutely terrifying.

I don't know what to say anymore, except the GOP's fuck brown people's policy is working.

I look at that picture and just can't wrap my head around this. How does he not see the irony in this?

 

[Crossing Eden]

Because he and all of his other cohorts are fucking idiots. That's the pure and simple reason.

Processing the concept of irony generally requires more than two brain cells.

 

[dabig2]

This is just disgusting. if anyone besides a white man went around wearing something like that with a gun out, they'd get shot for sure. His appearance screams "I'm gonna murder everyone"

I can only imagine if we had a young brown Arab man dressed in a traditional garb for prayer, but he's also covering his face and openly carrying an assault rife legally. Hell, that situation makes sense cause maybe such a man might be following the women and children attending service and protecting them against these terrorists.

Someone should put a caption reading "Spot the Terrorist" on that photo.

Shot on sight. No questions asked.

Religious freedom... so long as you're not Muslim.

Everybody had the freedom to accept Jesus Christ as their one true lord and savior.
