Why don't these "people" just go DIAF?

http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/obama-roseburg-shooting-armed-protesters


Gun-toting protesters gathered on Friday morning to await President Obama's arrival in Roseburg, Ore., where he planned to meet with the families of victims of last week's mass shooting at Umpqua Community College.

But local residents planned to protest Obama's visit, saying he rushed to "politicize" the tragedy by pushing a gun control agenda.

"My family, my friends, everybody down here is not happy about him coming," Michelle Finn, a Umpqua alumna and Roseburg native, told the Oregonian. "He already says he's going to politicize this — he's already going to push his agenda."

A Facebook event page for a protest dubbed "Defend Roseburg - Deny barack 0bama" [sic], had garnered more than 8,000 RVSPs by Friday. In its lengthy event description, organizers suggested attendees carry a handgun as opposed to a rifle, but reiterated "you have the right to carry what you wish."

If she didn't lose anyone in the shooting, who really cares what her friends and family are not happy about? The me, me, me attitude gun nuts have is pathetic.

I like how quickly the latch onto meme words. "Politicize."

Love it.

I can't remember who it was who said it (someone in IRC I think) but [sic] is the sickest burn anyone can make.

They have the right to make themselves look like horrible people, just as we have the right to acknowledge them as horrible people.

If anything, they're in the right for not wanting him exploiting this tragedy to go for their town and push for more gun control that won't work.

Oh no! Protesters. It's certainly OK to protest for police reform, but not to stop gun control!

If the only defense you have for your behavior is The Constitution then you are probably a low life f-ck.

The Constitution is a back stop.  It is the lowest common denominator.  It is what remains when all else fails.  It is what allows NeoNazis to march in Skokie.  If all you have is The Constitution to back up your argument then you are probably a low life f-ck.

Like or despise NeoNazis, yes, they have a right to march in Skokie. And a right to be roughed up by the residents of Skokie.

They can protest all they want. And we can call them the human scum that they are.

Nope that's you. If you're on a forum to discuss predominately American politics, you should at least respect the document that rules the land and created the process in discussion. I don't understand how respecting your country's principles makes you a lowlife.
