Same! I find him to be absolutely adorable and they seem happy. It will be nice to have a royal engagement/wedding to follow with all the other crap going on in the world.

Thank you. There’s enough shit to actually be upset about that brushing this off as her just being bad at her job is helpful. I’m going back to my coffee now.

I have a question about this one, which is the more terrifying for me: what if you live in a no-carry state? What if you are blessed to live in a state where basically nobody carries guns except police officers and people who live in the very ruralest parts of the state? And where you have to register, wait, and…

Because they’re only down with state’s rights when that state is a red state.

THIS! This is what I have been saying. Because black mass shooters tend to shoot more black people than white people, those mass shootings do not get the media coverage that something like the above would. Plenty get stuffed into “another violent weekend in Chicago” instead of “OMG THE TERROR!!!”

“Also tucked in the bill...is the legalization of armor piercing bullets, so long as they are marketed for ‘sporting purposes.’” Yeah, because you know Bambi is kitted out in full fucking Kevlar as she gambols around the meadow. Fucking lunatics are in charge right now.

One expert was like “This is evidence of profiling not always working.”

The worst American bombing attacks have also been historically carried out by (roughly) middle-aged white dudes, too. Timothy McVeigh (27), Terry Nichols (30), Eric Rudolph (30), Andrew Kehoe (55), Thomas G. Doty (34), countless church bombings during the Civil Rights Movement, and several high profile attempts that…

Several deer. At the same time.

When it’s a lone woman shooting up a bunch of people, I think we can finally say the shooter “doesn’t fit the usual profile.”

oh that makes it better. What do you need a fully automatic weapon for? Hunting deer?

A lot of the coverage is pointing out that is age is what stands out as being the oddest thing. But the profile for mass shooter is white. When a guy gets past middle age, the testosterone slump usually reduces this sort of risk. I wonder if the recent trend for testosterone replacement will change that profile.

R I G H T? Actually, dumbfucks, he fits the profile of a mass shooter to a T, as they are almost exclusively white men.

Domestic terrorism is defined diffferently under the US Patriotic Act and this is a clear act of domestic terrorism . I don’t think calling an attack that has so far left 50 people dead and injured 400 others terrorism will also cause the word terrorism to lose its value.

Excellent question.

Also, in the interest of stopping witch hunts, police have cleared Marilou Danley of any connection to the shootings.

Yeah, the ONE black guy to be acquitted of two murders he very likely committed is absolutely a reversal of how things normally go. But he’s still a scumbag.

Lol. You’re defending a murderer.

Trump is stupid, lazy, and insane, but proof of his animal cunning and instinct for leveraging the ugliest cracks in US society is in how his NFL tweets inflamed his horrible racist base, all to increase his own popularity with them. There is a memorable Al Sharpton comment in this article about Trump’s sorry history…

Just another way they’re Doing It Wrong (TM)
