Didn't see a thread on this already. Apologies if I missed it...

The shooters apparently covered the officers' bodies with the Gadsen flag (aka the "Don't Tread on Me" flag). A search of their apartment also found white supremacist "paraphernalia."

More details on these creeps, who were apparently Cliven Bundy supporters. I'm surprised they aren't wearing Guy Fawkes masks, to be honest.

What a surprise. Some Bundy ranch extremist making threats decides to kill someone? Why they weren't arrested before, I have no idea. Anyways, this guy is a poster child for the right-wing

The guy in Georgia and now this.

At this point, I'm pretty much embarrassed to be a white person.

We deserve to be racially profiled any time we go anywhere near a firearm of any kind.

This comment makes even less sense when you consider the demographics of shooters outside random sprees:



The obvious solution is to keep people (or at least most of them) away from firearms altogether, but that isn't going to happen anytime soon, now is it?

That doesn't change the fact that your post was one of the most absurd things I have ever seen on this site. And that is saying a lot.

Random sprees are precisely what most people are concerned about.

So black people use guns in acts of gang violence? Well, I'm not in a gang, and I don't buy, use or sell illegal drugs, so I'm pretty sure I don't have to worry about that variety of non-random gun violence.

You're far more likely to be struck by lightening than you are to be caught up in a shooting spree.

You're severely mistaken if you think homicides of black people are invariably "gang-related".

These kinds of mass shooters tend to not be black as much, though.

It was nice of the person who put that graphic together to exclude all the marijuana legalization and death metal likes so we don't get confused about what we are supposed to get hysterical about.

The government was real complex with their staging of this one. They even got these fake actor shooters to write op-eds on Alex Jones website about what they were going to do two years in advance:

No of course not. Like video games and mental illness, they are both reliable predictors of terrorist activity.

Great, I can't wait til BRTD finds out that these right-wing psychos were also death metal fans.  Sad


(Not that I can stand that music either, but it's always disheartening when he gets one of his dumb theories actually confirmed for once.)

shua why would liking death metal contradict the narrative? It's a right wing nationalist genre.

Also bilge. Look up the lyrics to Carcass' "Keep On Rotting In The Free World".

Killing sprees are the worry of wealthier suburbanites, who are disproportionately white. In my experience, most of the people who live in lower-income or median-income areas is worried about the proliferation of drug-related crime and gang violence.

So being Tuff On Crime is really being pro-poor, you see. That's how we sell it to ourselves, at least. Usually with a roll of the eyes at the humanitarians Who Only Cause Harm.
