Media Matters

[GATTACA!]

Why does it even matter whether he's a conservative, liberal, transexual, dog, alien, etc. His values are extreme to the point of being inhumane and do not reflect on the mainstream worldview held by 99.9% of the population whether left or right. I do not understand the ghoulish delight everyone has in labeling him toward one side or the other. The only thing that matters is that he was a broken person. I think there's some value in finding out what broke him, but I can promise you whatever it was wasn't mainstream political opinions. No matter what you read on this board or social media, this sort of violence is EXTREMELY rare for any demographic. This need to score political points off a corpse is so fuckin weird.

Because the president came out before anything was even known about whoever the shooter was and blamed the left.

Turns out he was wrong. Won't hold my breath on anyone eating crow though.

I love the cancel culture from the right for everyone who isn't crying enough for Saint Charlie. I'm sure the free speech warriors who cried about not being able to say retarded at work will come to the defense of everyone who got fired.

 

[GATTACA!]

That's why there are different opinions, Gattaca. How many times does this need to be adjudicated in this forum before you realize people are on different sides of these events?

I'm voicing my opinion that RDU's is stupid, unhelpful, and completely wrong. Not sure what your point even is?

How many attempts on Pence's life again? Such a violent crowd, so angry at Pence yet the only threat to him ever was contracting disease from a fly. Dipshit.

He evacuated the building just like all the other congresspeople who were so scared for their lives that they were calling their families just in case they were saying goodbye. Who the fuck knows what would have happened if those lunatics got to him. That's really the argument you're going to make? Fucking insane.

 

[GATTACA!]

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

My point is you get emotional over differences of opinion-has that ever worked? And you calling names doesn't help to persuade anyone to your side of the argument. A bunch of donks here calling names and a complete and utter failure to demonstrate respect for people who do not think like you.

When you self selected yourself to be hall monitor, did you decide you're only going to tone police people you don't like or is that just an oversight?

It's not a matter of opinion. Violence is not exclusive to the left, it's not even a majority. That's not debatable.

Also maybe I'm misremembering but did I call RDU a moron or idiot anywhere?

Elon's not going to like that. Grok about to get some re-configuring.

No he wants you to be consistent in your fence sitting. You try and play the moderate neutral voice but it’s clear based on who and what you respond to over and over again that you’re anything but.

What? I want you to have a spine. Why don't you ever call out anyone on the Right for being emotional? Why are you unable to do that?

Check post 2583 - at least most normal humans would consider stupid to equate to moron/idiot. Maybe your SSRIs are affecting your short term memory?

 

[NorthDakota]

The Guardian is reporting the opposite

The comma and s after "RDU" indicates that I'm talking about your opinion. Your specific opinion about the left being the lone violent actors is stupid.

Thank you for whataboutism derailing conversation. Capital was back in session the same day. Only person murdered was an unarmed woman. No firearms recovered from protesters - pretty terrible attempt at a coup for the most heavily armed demographic in the country. Carry on.

Consider the source when arguing with Gattaca. He can't tell a man from a woman, being tired from a stroke, nor a really bad election poll from reality. His analysis of anything is about as valuable as financial advice from a broke person.

I call out what I see. And your team (or whatever you could call it) resorts to emotional hysteria and name-calling all too frequently. Juvenile emotional rants indicate a lack of maturity and/or mental health issues.

The irony of this being your contribution quoting someone talking about the thread being derailed is just 'chef's kiss' LOL

Glad you found time during your busy day of emptying bedpans to add this to the conversation.

Just because he grew up in a conservative republican family doesn’t mean he shares the same views as the rest of the family. I imagine many on here aren’t carbon copies of their parents.

Definitely true. Lots of religious families have kids that are wild and troubled. We all know the stereotype of the minister's daughter, which I know from first hand experience is true. Lots of LE have kids who end up in jail or prison. Some kids rebel no matter what and go in the exact opposite direction of their family and how they were raised.

Looks like the shooter was part of Antifa and going to Democratic meetings

Fair clarification and I agree violent actors are not exclusive to one side. It takes a special kind of crazy to get to the point of hauling a gun off to premeditated kill someone you have never met.

You're a dumbass, Gattaca. Seriously, you really are. You're not as bad as a couple of others here, but you're not far from it. You post dumb crap over and over, get busted for it, proven to have posted dumb crap, and then keep doing it. You are ignorant of your ignorance, apparently. Maybe you can't help it.

I can't believe it. I am shocked.

Time stamp on the post is several hours ago. The sheriff's office has denied any connection to the family. There are no sources anywhere saying what Discords he was in. Other conclusions are speculation.

I wish people would stop using statements from blue checks on Twitter as some sort of indicator of verified truth.
