We said thoughts and prayers, isn't that their custom for victims of gun violence?

Are we supposed to be emulating them? Isn't that just stooping to their level? Why not be the better man?

Somone wise once said, fool me once shame on you foot me twice... Can't get fooled again!

Republicans have been pushing hate and fear for DECADES. They have laughed at tragedies and drawn crosshairs on their political opponents.

So yea, we don't need to be better men.

I don't condone violence, but I also have zero sympathy for someone who's done nothing except stoke fear and violence at every turn.

“If [Hillary Clinton] gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks,” Mr. Trump said, as the crowd began to boo. He quickly added: “Although the Second Amendment people — maybe there is, I don’t know.”

We don't even really need to check who has been defending or denouncing what if you want to see who's committing violence, there's an even more damning statistic.

Number of People Killed in Deadly Attacks in the Post-9/11 Era, by Ideology

  • Far Right Wing: 134

  • Jihadist: 107

  • Ideological Misogyny/Incel Ideology: 17

  • Black Separatist/Nationalist/Supremacist: 13

  • Far Left Wing: 1

It should also be noted that Jihadist terror attacks have almost as many victims as far right terror attacks because the former are just more efficient, but far right terror attacks are far more common. Check the graph in the article.

The fact that the far right candidate has been under a murder attempt by another far right loon is just the cherry on top.

And the same party that cries about stochastic terrorism now doesn't believe it either.

Well done.
