These massacres don’t fit into the mass shooting category as you defined at the beginning of the article. These massacres had very definite targets. The “mass shootings” we’re talking about don’t have clearly defined targets and purposes.

Guns and boats. You need the latter and it isn’t like they will leave the former.

Yeah let’s shit all over volunteers, who are using their own resources and risking their own lives to go try and help people. Not to mention the fact that they’re answering a plea from law enforcement (the professionals, in other words) that asked anyone with a boat to come and help with search and rescue efforts.

How dare you leave your family and comfortable home behind and try to rescue people in need. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Seriously... assembling a large, volunteer force to rescue people is “for better and worse”, because a guy helping people dares to mention he heard gunfire... and right after that they crosspost an article telling journalists to stop shaming looters.

Well, that’s that. They better pack it up and go home. Damn them for trying to help and do good in this imperfect world.

“We’ll probably never know, though it’s fair to say that Cain, for one, should probably stop talking about it, since his interview with CNN and subsequent Facebook live post seemed to only add fuel to the chaos on the ground, in a situation where some people probably already have itchy trigger fingers.”

The most delicious militia in America.

Having the sick impulse to call the cops, from the site of one of the worst flood disasters in American history, to report victims of that flood for looting a supermarket; but also: a crime

This narrative needs to stop. It’s all over Jezebel and it’s disgusting. I get it, Texas is republican, and republicans are horrible people.

Yeah, someone deserves to die or lose everything because of how they voted.

Mangle someone with a knife, try to do the same to a cop, and you’re gonna get shot. I can’t believe people are holding a vigil for this.

Yes, ignore the stabbing and slicing and focus on the pronoun. That’s the important takeaway.

Lincoln was known as a bit of a freak of nature, able to hide in building rafters and snatch people.

Something something always the answer.

You just know that a Canadian penny found its way in there. They always do.

You sure it’s not a Lincoln?

It’s a purposeful literary overexaggeration to make the point that protestors need to understand that they can’t continue to get more violent, more nasty, more in-your-face, more confrontational and not suffer consequences for their lack of decorum when their audience doesn’t immediately jump right in with them.…

What do you call being forced against your will to stay in a place without for no reason other than people holding you there?

block whatever surface streets you want when you protest because there are always other routes but when youre blocking highways and on and off ramps you are unlawfully holding people against their will, thats kidnapping and it should be prosecuted to the fullest extent
