    Absolute fcukin hypocrite
    This, coming from a guy who, according to your recent posts, would rather see people lose their lives on the streets of America than place the national guard there to protect them. Beyond laughable.

    You should read this report from the anti defamation League "Murder and Extremism in the United States in 2022"

    Tell me in what country its ever was a good idea to have the military patrolling the streets? The police are there for a reason. Turning the military on your own people is only ever done by Dictators wanting to hold onto power
    Its really not that complicated!!!

    The military are soldiers who fight in wars. This is the National Guard, men and women who have gone into hurricanes, floods, fires to save people's lives. And you call them the SS? You're labeling of them is a disgrace.

    The National Guard are Military, as are the Marines who Trump illegally deployed on the streets of LA. The National Guard are not a police force, they are not trained to be a police force.

    Right now we also have Trumps Gestapo (ICE) snatching people off the streets. They are masked and do not identify themselves like law enforcement are supposed to do.

    Again I ask you, point to any other country in the world where military patrolling the streets is a good thing? It does not happen in any democratic country, but has been used in Fascist regimes the world over. If we want better policing, then train the police better. Do you want us to have to go through military check points when we are out and about? Military checking your papers to make sure you are a pure American?
    Its really not that complicated!!!

    So were the black and tans. Deploying them on the streets here didn't end well.

    Together with upbringing, family and culture. I know this is discussion centred on America but I’d say those are generally the most important contributory factors for crime (unless they’re coming under the socio prefix).

    Oh its time to bury it Joey, bury the story deep & fast. A white, Mormon, Republican, right type of gun owning, Trump family supporting, shooter.

    seanfhear has made some show of himself on here in the fallout, I can see now why he rarely makes full sentences, never mind paragraphs.

    Stick to the on liners me laddo, or one word posts even. Better for all probably

    I've heard a new word in the wake of this shooting, Groypers. These are a group who follow a guy called Nick Fuentes who are basically Nazis. They were in some sort of conflict with Charlie Kirk who was not right wing enough for them.

    I don’t think there’s any evidence that’s he’s actually a Republican, beyond the family link. (This publicly registered affiliation with a party is another odd Americanism)

    I probably could have worded it better, reading back, but that's what I meant & either way, that's the kind of nest he hatched out of.

    That whole culture, with photographic records in the form of family photos with high-powered weaponry, is just ****ing bizarre and disturbing!

    keep shooting the messengers.

    It's the Leftist / Communist way, the Communists always kill, it can be said that killing is the only thing that Communists do well.

    I'm starting to think you don't know the difference between left wing and communist
    Even if you do, you really should back statements like that up with some proof.

    Quoting this, in case you missed it,

    Communists have killed more Human beings than anyone else.

    It's the only thing that Communists are really good at !

    I think that's generally acknowledged in fairness

    The more relevant question is what it has to do with the completely non-Communist matter at hand.

    And even more relevant is why people are still feeding the trolls...
