You already admitted you don’t pay attention so you have no idea what the fuck you’re talking about. Go educate yourself before speaking on subjects you are ignorant about.

It's going to have to be something a lot stronger than "if you don't like it here you can leave".  And if it were stronger than that it would be all over the newspapers, news, news feeds, and not just fringe political thinkers and their continual the sky is falling shrill shill.

I'm not being willfully ignorant. I no more hang on Trump's every word any more than I hung on Obama's.  But when a person or persons start spouting white supermacy/nationalism, brown people are targets, low grade civil war in 2019?  I know you're a fringe thinker, and quite frankly need to misinterpret the comments.

I’m not being a dick, I’m just confused... are you saying brown people weren’t the targets in El Paso yesterday? Even though the shooter explicitly stated he was out to kill Mexicans? He was just making that up and drove 8 hours to shoot up a Walmart, with no racist motivation behind his actions?

WHY ARE YOU GROSSLY MISCHARACTERIZING TRUMPS OWN WORDS?

Oh GAWD.  Invasion...gasp.  Infest...oh lordy, this is the big one...Get a fucking grip.  Something like 10% of the people in this country are here illegally and largely undocumented.  He's not wrong, but it's hardly go shoot every brown bastard you see language unless you are a crazy.

One crazy person does not a national white supremacy movement make.

Go ask your Hispanic relatives or friends how they feel about this rhetoric.

Or just listen to the hispanics on this board who’ve posted that they feel targeted. Do you think they are lying or being over dramatic?

Off the top of my head there was also Charleston, Poway, Kentucky grocery store, Sikh temple, and possibly Dayton in the past 7 years. And the tens of thousands celebrating and being inspired by all those shootings in their online communities. But besides all them I agree it’s not a problem at all.

No, I live in the real world where words like invasion don't flip me the fuck out.

My wife, a Hispanic, has basically been in bed all weekend because she is so upset about this. I’ll let her know that Bobby Batronic from the internet thinks she’s just flipping out.

You are either very naive or intentionally blind to the world around you. 


I’m assuming BB is an upper-class white guy and America “works” pretty well for that particular segment of our society especially with this POTUS. As long as that’s not disturbed, all’s good.

(FTR, I’m a white guy who is beyond fed up with this senseless bullshit.)

The idea that you standing with an AR-15 or an M1 Abrams against any military force is silly, and it isn’t the argument. The argument is that a population armed can lead an insurrection and resistance vs an occupying or tyrannical force with small arms by using appropriate tactics, not by pitched battles in open fields.

That this needed to be explained is silly.

Standing with an M1 Abrams?

I'm a conservative guy who's ready to entertain solutions to mass shootings.  Realistic ones.You're not going to ban all guns.  Sorry, not happening.

As to your first comments, America has worked pretty well for me whether I was living below the poverty level or an upper-class white guy, and America will survive Trump just as it did Obama or Bush or Carter. I know, the "that's because you're white" line is next.  You're part of the problem if you think that way.

You're right.  He was completely of sound mind.  You can attach whatever psychiatry tag to his condition that you like.  Any person who decides that they're going to kill a bunch of people, or who thinks melanin content or lack thereof imbues one with superiority/inferiority, or wants to kill a bunch of people because of their belief in the magical powers of melanin has multiple screws loose.

Crazy people don’t write a manifesto replete with white nationalist ideas and hatred for Hispanics, drive 9 hours to a border city with a heavy Hispanic population, come prepared with tactical gear and ear protection, post said manifesto online minutes before walking into a Walmart in said border town with weapons of war, on a Saturday the weekend before school starts (ensuring a full house), and proceed to start massacring innocent people.

THAT’S NOT CRAZY YOU HEAD IN THE SAND MORON - THAT IS WHITE NATIONALIST TERRORISM INSPIRED BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

God.

I see you ventured out of the echo chamber, and your first paragraph sounds exactly like what a some crazy asshole would do.

I’m a hispanic dude. I feel somewhat uneasy given that 20 people were just gunned down simply for being the same ethnicity as me. This attack mere months after the president of the country I live in laughed off comments made by one of his supporters about shooting people like me. Do you at least understand why all that might make me kind of disturbed?

In a manner of speaking....absolutely.  I know you think you're being witty and cute, and that you and Hugo have metal masturbation sessions in the CR on the reg, but let me help you out on a few things.

Trump's not going to jail.  He might actually get elected again if the Dems don't moderate the fuck out of their positions.  There's not a war on brown people.  There's not a civil war.  Trump, for the disaster he is as a communicator and as general moral reprobate, isn't a white nationalist trying to ensure white hegemony for the foreseeable future.  But y'all keep beating that drum.

Donald Trump is a racist piece of shit and you support him.

Now, that is a rational take.  But worthy of a viewpoint of a war on brown people?  You'll not catch me arguing that Trump picks his words well.  My skin crawls any time he speaks.  But I'm also a sane, rational person who doesn't think Trump is giving marching orders to some white nationalist movement nor am I about let words like "invasion" make me think that he was giving cover or instruction to start mowing down hispanics.

No idea if this reporter is being led down a dead end by her source, but she's the first reporter I saw get LEO on record with Patrick Crusius' name this afternoon.
https://twitter.com/Anna_Giaritelli


Her info on Ohio wasn't very accurate. According to pd chief press conference, sis and pal were shot in street a ways from car after spree had started and friend not dead. Looks like she throws a lot of shit out there without vetting, fwiw.

For the most part, terrorists are not people that simply like to watch the world burn. They have a goal, a goal they think is righteous whether it's Arabs, NRA, the ETA, KKK, white nationalists, etc. For them, it is war. It's misguided but not necessarily mental illness in the classic sense of the word.

I didn't vote for him.  I would't vote for him again, but what I'm seeing on the other side as presidential candidates is crazy laced liberally with socialism.  Enjoy your masturbation sessions in the CR.

Just out of curiosity, what is this supposed to mean?  

Not trying to pry but it means different things to different people these days.  For some it’s just a shield that says “I’m anti-liberal”.  This is my most common interpretation when I hear people self declare themselves conservative. 

For others it more about ideas like preserving the constitution, free trade, fiscal responsibility, pro-immigration, and family values.  These folks are now an endangered species under closer scrutiny.

And then there are the contemporary Republican conservatives that are all about building walls, trade wars, Muslim bans, separating families seeking asylum, loving brutal dictators, building a military police state, crypto white nationalism, and liberal tears.  You know, Trumpers.   

Sadly, the word conservative has very little meaning these days.   I should know, I used to consider myself a conservative.

I wouldn't argue that.  But they are not right in the head either in the classic sense of the word.

The idea that simply commiting mass murder is enough to diagnose someone as mentally ill is grossly ignorant and a dangerous way of thinking. Some people are simply evil. Others have been persuaded into thinking they are being victimized by their victims. Neither are necessarily crazy or mentally ill. Sometimes sane people just do awful shit.

Yea I’ll trust the actual people who study these things rather than someone who is completely uninformed about the topic at hand

Is it odd that they've released the names of all nine victims of the Dayton shooting and have yet to do that for the 20 dead in El Paso? CNN would have you believe there are still relatives of "missing" people that have not received confirmation if their loved ones are among those killed in the Wal-Mart.

It's not dangerous at all.  Enough with the continual f'ing hyperbole. It's real simple. No person of sound mind short of being engaged in actual warfare even thinks about killing a lot of people.  Yes, its' evil.  Next someone will argue about what if they perceive they're at war because of external factors etc.  If you lack the kind of discernment that your perceived victimhood justifies mass murder then something clearly isn't connecting upstairs.  If such thoughts every actually cross your mind.  If you spend one second fantasizing about it.  If you spend an iota on the logistics of it then you need to seek help.  Something isn't right in your head.

Bobby_Batronic is far more concerned with how a terrorist is perceived on the internet than the fact that a terrorist gunned down 20 people.

20 people lost their lives, but what's really important is that we don't attribute his actions to his admitted motivations.

You’re stating this as fact and that’s the problem.  And it’s not based on any expertise at all. As someone who’s job is often second-guessed by the uninformed public you should know better. You’re doing the same thing to the mental health industry. 

You can be of sound mind and still be evil.  Otherwise every mass murderer is absolved of responsibility.  After all, they were sick, it wasn’t their fault. That’s what makes that line of thinking dangerous. It’s a built in excuse for mass murder.

^ Exactly why 'mental illness' is one of the first phrases that comes out of the mouths of Rs after a shooting.

Then they turn around and cut funding for mental illness.  The whole thing is a total head fake and it's funny how many people willfully fall for it.

El Paso is still an active crime scene.  The bodies are still there. Shooter to be prosecuted. 

Dayton is a closed case.  Shooter is dead.
