    And if you notice, I never suggest he should be investigated simply because he is a Q follower. The "but" refers only to my original statement that he is a follower of Q.

    And yet you haven't established that he is. Your blinding bias is on full display here and it's going to be hilarious when it becomes known that he's a raging lefty type. <bookmark thread/>

    I don't give too much importance to who a mass shooter supports politically. Unless, of course, the shooter claims he was inspired by a political figure or ideology, like some have (Buffalo, El Paso, Christchurch... etc). What I think we should focus on is on the fact that there is a gun epidemic in this country. And that politicians who put their political donors before the lives of people share part of the blame and should not be in office.

    No. The police weren't "defunded". You should read my link.

    Made a rap song called "I am the storm" and drapes himself in a Trump flag. Righties sure aren't liking how the evidence is coming out and will surely ignore it if it doesn't fit the narrative.

    I concur. It makes no sense to me that so many people determine "guilt" or "innocence" on factors that have nothing to do with their crime. I have yet to read anything that makes sense of them siding with the Capitol rioters over the police officers they attacked. It's the same BS with Rudy's latest drama. They are hyping that exponentially.

    I have no doubts that if any other American did what Trump did and failed to do on January 6, 2021, they would be arrested the second Biden finished his inauguration.

    I also have no doubts that if a guy tapped somebody on the back while calling them a "scumbag" in passing, it would be completely dismissed. Why is it suddenly the most egregious thing they've ever witnessed?

    I have no doubts that if anybody else voted "no" on a human trafficking bill and was close to being indicted for human trafficking, they would be calling for his immediate dismissal. Why do they harp on the very small percentage of non-heterosexual people committing sex crimes but completely ignore the whole issue for those in their party?

    How can they flip flop based on people's race, gender, sexuality, political party, etc. when NONE of that has anything to do with the actual crime?

    I don't care that this shooter is white, male or a Trump supporter. He's a criminal. That's all that matters. And, I've given up on all hope of them being honest and consistent. How can they say that racism doesn't exist for all the people that experience it every day of their lives and then turn around and want to beat us over the head that one crime is "nothing" but other crimes are "something" solely based on irrelevant factors?

    It simply doesn't make any sense and they run out of conversations when that question is posed. Trump is a coward that won't answer questions so they got that legit. /smdh

    Yes you did! I just quoted you. It's amazing that you still deny it. I guess denying facts that are right in front of you comes easily to Trump loyalists. Still gets a bit of getting used to for the rest of us, though.

    He routinely does this. It's strange.

    if there was a gun epidemic with 400 million in this country, you’d know about it already. We have a people problem not a gun problem. 8FA8C0DE-EBE0-428C-8796-0FB1C96006A9.jpeg

    Why are you lying? He was addressing actual gang members. He said nothing about that kid, can you read or is this intentional?

    Nowhere in that post did I say "Crimo is a gangster".

    You're just mad because you know your list of unconstitutional gun laws wouldn't have stopped this attack.

    Right, "but, if he is a follower of Q", that's different.

    We all know you would fully support laws that go after online postings by white Conservatives, but would never want that standard applied to black gangster rappers.

    Where are you getting that impression? I said that if this individual showed a tendency to mass shootings, he should be investigated. I didn't say he should be investigated simply because he is a follower of Q or a white conservative.

    Why did you say, "but, this guy looks like a Q follower"?

    AND? Is this supposed to mean something? Why don't you post the lyrics?

    I have not seen this. Is the pic authentic? See I ask questions because shooting up a white parade on the 4th of July doesn't seem to fit the trump fanatic stereotype.

    Of course I know it already! We've known it for years. It's just right-wing denialists who refuse to accept facts.

    Where do you get that this kid was conservative or a Q follower? His videos were just plain weird and disturbing. There are a couple of pictures that look like political trolling but, so far, there doesn't seem to be any direct political motivation for the shooting.

    Is there a stereotype? Most youngins see 4th of July as a day with fireworks and parades, not necessarily symbolic of our past history.

    Who do you think created the thug culture. I'm pretty sure Jesse James wasn't black. Or were you referring to all thugs ?

    To get the conversation back on to my relevant point that he is a Q follower. If you think I suggested he should be investigated because he is a Q follower or white conservative, I will refer you back to these posts.

    Relying on armed police while disarming the people is a new anti-American thing.
    Hence mass shootings.

    Yea, i'm sure yesterday would have went much better if 20 good guys with guns in the crowd had pulled out their guns and started trying to figure out where the shooting was coming from.
