Here fucking here!

The apprehended suspect

Lots of police on the scene near my office, but mobs of people are still making their way to the parade. New York City is an amazingly resilient place.

up

No respect for the rule of law on this board anymore
---

@JetJaguar people literally ignoring the topic that was created 5 minutes before the other politics topic because your username triggers them
---

bump
---

@Jakyl25 need an official designation from the pope

If Heather Heyer gets a topic, I don't see why another terrorist fighter wouldn't

up
---

mass bumping is moddable you know
---

I wouldn't say it's that they're ignoring you because of timjab, but more likely you're just on everyone's ignore list.
---

Pathetic
---

You should have made this into a pun if you wanted people to post here.

There's no bias to this, because I specifically called out the Heather whatever topic titles as being lame, too.

This one.

I didn't realize it was a competition of wit when I post the topic ten minutes before the other

I think there's also an element of you being blocked by some people at play.

Cowards

Was Tim actually involved in this or just associated with the fact that it was NYPD?

He got called in on his night off to help with the situation

Yup

if tim was a real hero he wouldn't have me ignored

but he's clearly a coward

probably not even a real cop, because real cops are brave heroes #bluelivesmatter

This seems like an insta ban offense...
But this is a liberal bastion so I assume making fun of cops is pure Aok.

I think it's also because most conservatives don't feel that orgasmic sense of social justice when marking posts, so most of these go unreported.

I personally have only ever marked people if they post spoilers, since I feel people like that should be tai'd up and hanged

Agree. Never marked anyone.

We should just have a conservative topic and use this one.

It would be for the best..

The other is absolutely vile fake news over and over.

Speaking of, how vindicated is Trump right now?

"Political correctness is fine, but not for this."

Damn right.

I agree that political correctness can be taken too far.

It just seems strange however when the following happens:

1a) Nazi and/or other white nationalist commits an act of terror.
1b) That was an isolated incident by a disturbed person.
1c) You then have to pull ALL of the teeth just to get anyone to admit that it was "terrorism".

2a) Muslim and/or other radicalized person commits an act of terror.
2b) Immediately called terrorism.
2c) Immediately used as an opportunity to increase restrictions on immigration.

And don't get me wrong, I have no problem with 2b. Call a duck a duck and call terrorism terrorism. But there shouldn't be factors that affect your willingness to do that. And at this point it is very difficult to believe anything except that factors such as race and religion have a large impact on how Trump and others in the administration respond to what on the face of it are very similar actions.

And regarding 2c I absolutely think we should have tough policies that keep our citizens safe.

But I also think we already HAD stringent policies that were very effective at screening. It took a very long time to immigrate into the country and numerous agencies were responsible for screening people.

And so I think by very publicly declaring that you are going to be scrutinizing certain races and religions and very publicly "banning" them from entering the country you are actually making the problem worse. It makes us out to be the bad guy and it gives terrorist organizations more fuel with which to radicalize people who are already living here.

And they don't even have to make up propaganda to try and convince people that the united states hates them and doesn't want them or people like them in the country. The administration is saying those things on it's own without any prompting.

And I'm not saying that is specifically the cause of THIS attack, because I don't know about this attack to make any kind of judgement like that. I'm just saying that in principle with our hateful policies we are making it easier for the terrorists. And when our president is consistently and vocally treating two groups of terrorists differently from another then I think it's only going to get worse.

Terrorism has a specific definition, and needs to have a motive.

This person today by yelling God is Great in Arabic instantly and unquestionably gave his act both the defintion and motive. Till you attain a motive it's just mass murder not terrorism.

Was I questioning the motive or insisting there was a lack of motive in this case?

No. No I was not.

I'm literally not even sure how you read what I said and both of your responses were regarding motive.

The motive in this case was to sow chaos and terror through acts of violence.

How does that affect anything I said?
