I’m never sure if it’s my crappy computer or Kinja. (and I’m old, so it’s all the same to me)

I don’t think anyone takes HamNo seriously anymore. Including his employers. He’s clickbait.

But at least it’s a step...? 

Wow. I completely forgot about that slur. Let’s bring it back! 

I just tried the Impossible Burger, and it was good, but it still didn’t have the satisfying aftertaste (aftereffect?) that beef does. 

“In Portland, there’s not a lot of overt racism—it’s not a city where you run around and you get called the n-word,” Thompson told Oregon Live. “It’s more a place where systems and policies are in place that create that divide.”

He also owns an lgbtq+ friendly bar, so that’s likely what he’s referring to. 

As a Portlander, I call bullshit. It’s the fucking nazis and the cops that have made Portland “unsafe.” It is they who have hurt innocent people nationwide. GTFO here with that nonsense.

It’s so frustrating to me, a forever-gray (I was approved once upon a time, before the purge), that you keep bringing this bullshit to light.
Don’t respond to trolls!

Do NOT respond to trolls! Why the fuck did you bring this evil out?

They’re dead.

So when I’m eating an egg, I’m really eating a chicken?

I’m glad to hear that. I’ve heard very different from other people’s experiences. Best to your son. 

You’re right, and I realized that after I’d posted, but honestly there’s just been so much talk about mental health being a catalyst for this violence that I simply reacted. 

I’d like that too, but I don’t count on it happening. People in the military think PTSD has something to do with being weak. And the fact that he’s not a white man.
Goddammit I hope I’m wrong!

Most of these shooters aren’t vets with PTSD. They are young white supremacist males. Please stop equating mental health with terrorism. 

It’s not a mental health issue, it’s a white terrorist, egged on by his racist president, and enabled by the gun industry to commit terrorism issue.
I have mental health issues. I have never felt the drive to kill and maim people “other” than me.
And, fucking video games have nothing to do with it either!

Keep him away from that city. They’ve suffered enough. 

This is trump’s plan. He may offer up some platitudes, but this is exactly what he wants to continue to happen.
And the last thing Dayton (or anyone) needs is a visit from this evil-being.

As someone who suffers from PTSD, and various other mental health issues, I can say it makes me so fucking angry when people use this as an excuse for their shitty behavior. That’s not how it works!!
