Topic	First SJW terrorist attack just happened
CyborgSage00x0 06/14/17 8:09:58 PM #24:	streamofthesky posted... And politicians that support such easy access to rapid-firing high capacity magazine guns, too. It's like laser-guided karma! Especially timely, given that apparently the sound of the gunfire helped alert them to take cover faster and aided the police in figuring out where it was coming from more quickly...right as the same people who were just shot at are trying to make it easier to get silencers for guns. I feel like there's a lesson to be learned here, but...nah, I guess not. Bad on the Republicans, though. I would've expected, based on their rhetoric, that every republican there would be carrying their own guns and could thus solve the crisis on their own by having dozens of "good guys with guns" opening fire in a crowded area, too. Couldn't have said it better myself. It should be noted that Scalise also voted down a bill that would have disallowed the mentally ill from possessing firearms (not saying this dude was mentally ill, unless you're the type that thinks shooting people in general is evidence enough of mental illness), but perhaps the most tragic thing about this is the sheer irony of it all. The hearing on silencers got canceled after this, so at least there's that. Wow, you nailed that! Even knowing that FPTP is the root cause of our political dysfunction. Just...quoted for truth. I keep making the mistake of assuming people who attempt to speak politics already know this, but then they resort to lazy "pffft 2 party system" snips, as if it's that easy. Do you think Kathy Griffin's holding a Donald Trump severed head, or replacing Julius Caesar as Donald Trump was any coincidence? About as much as a coincidence of numerous hanging Obama effigies and the exact same playgroup using Obama's likeness years ago does. And that's about as much attention I'll give your insane ass. Sorry, but the 1970s are on the phone. And apparently some people calling themselves the Weather Underground apparently want to talk to you? A one-off group that has been defunct for nearly 50 years is calling me? Now that IS odd! I actually thought of the Weathermen as I typed this, but this is one of those "you show me 1, I'll show you 10" instances. That, and the Weathermen had such a specific agenda that it bears no relation to the politics of today. Yes, the recent perception is that most of the violent nuts come out of the Right... No, that's actually the historical perception. Which is important, because... Or to put it another way, people are shits regardless of their politics. ...lazy "same things, both sides" beliefs don't help us solve the problem. --- PotD's resident Film Expert. <cite>CyborgSage00x0 posted [p:881120016] in First SJW ...
