I'm already seeing at least one of the right wing narrative spins. Apparently this is proof Republicans are actually pro-LBGT because they hate Muslims, unlike Democrats. Concern trolling at its disgustingly finest.

Oh well, dead kids never helped pass gun control laws so I have no reason to believe anything will change now. And If this is the worst timeline, this causes a bump in Trump's popularity and he overtakes Hillary.

God...I'm part of a North American indigenous culture, I've noticed this "Native Americans are so cool, brah" thing that goes on with Bernie supporters, and is this how black people feel when nerdy white people go on about how black people are just "cool"? It's irritating as hell.

It's a total throwback to the hippie's really racist "noble savage" stuff from the 60s and 70s. The kinda stuff that gave us the Billy Jack movies and the Eagle Free character in DC's Prez.

You clearly haven't been exposed to Trump's tweet gloating about "being right on radical Islamic terrorism".

Also the Texas governor tweeting then reposting on Facebook a bible quote blaming the homosexual victims for their own demise has been great. :(

He took it down and then claimed that anyone trying to read into it is just being irresponsible.

He's the guy that made a dumb, but understandable mistake, but he's not the "irresponsible" person.

You'd think by now there'd be a business based around scheduling twitter tweets that also monitors major news outlets to suppress any automated tweets in the event of a terrorist attack.

It's just recycled 'noble savage' poo poo from people who have mostly never even met an indigenous American before. With some exceptions, most of the people in my tribe I've talked to about it don't give a poo poo about this presidential election one way or the other. The few who do care about politics are mostly going on about the tribal elections and sure as hell aren't 'feeling the Bern'.

Here come the guns


Looks like this is the official line on Orlando. Shoot everything always, problem solved. Guns in nightclubs where people are drunk, guns in elementary schools, guns at gas stations and grocery stores and day cares.
Do you feel safe yet? I feel safe!

Oh and, did you know he was a muslim?


And here's one from the comment brigade

(below here all these posted before the shooting)


that the mass murderer du jour's gun permit too? the domestic abuser? the toddlers that shoot people?


Talk about co-opting a symbol


country boy threatens to shoot you


"freedom"


you drat well should apologize for supporting gun rights. apologize to the parents of those sandy hook kids, the parents of the Pulse victims, all of them


it is you who are endangering children by having guns in an elementary school


creative anachronisms


pretend I posted a "nuke the middle east" macro here


No one ever went out to have fun on a saturday night and got gunned down by a cheeseburger.
No one ever went to elementary school in the morning and saw their entire class suddenly massacred by a cheeseburger.
Yet you say gently caress Michelle and her healthy school meal program.


yes let's keep our guts internal, by banning guns


I'd be happy if shootings went away...like they did in countries that outright banned guns


50 people are dead


If Hillary manages to get us a SCOTUS justice that is the deciding vote for Civilized Society vs. gently caress You and Your Guns then maybe this will all be worth it.


right to walk around with your strap on terrorizing people because it's the only way you can feel like a "man"


The gun nuts and the toxic masculinity wrecking crew

In conclusion, gently caress you, ban all guns.

In their defense, this particular post doesn't mention anything about homosexuality being a sin - it could be a plea for churches to be more inclusive towards LGBT people. I'm sure there's worse out there that leaves no room for the benefit of the doubt, though.

That dude is as lily-white as you can get, but the cops actually got him before any blood was shed so this potential murderer will be forgotten quickly. Especially by those with an agenda to push ie WAR WITH MUSLIMS!!! I just saw this gem today:

quote:

I deeply regret to have to utter these words as I have always believed in the integrity of our Presidents- from Ike to Obama, I have never doubted their determination to keep the people of this nation safe and our nation strong- that is until today- This President will not now nor ever and no matter how many citizens are killed as of now and in the future give the order to end this siege of terror for us and the world- therefore with all speed the military must remove him from his high office and promptly then let loose the dogs of war.

At least a few of the commenters pointed out until now, the worst shootings had NOTHING to do with ISIS or Muslims. I also was a little alarmed and am wondering if I should somehow report this dude to the authorities. He's posted some crazy stuff before, but this one is taking almost everyone on his friends list by surprise.

Does anyone actually realize how close to death ISIS really is, and that lone wolf crazies have existed and always will exist until the end of time?! Guess what all these mass shooting have in common...

In my experience it varies a lot with demand, when i went through in 2008 they let people who couldn't do more than a few push-ups and/or refused to train after week 6 go on to AIT (they did not take the stage during graduation though.) however by the time I was getting out in 2012 they were kicking people out for not making weight/tape or passing PT tests. When they're desperate for bodies commands are under a lot of pressure for everyone to graduate.

When Paris was attacked the government immediately passed an extremely controversial emergency law that significantly expanded the government's right to impose restrictions on travel and conduct raids and searches of property, while the US government has so far done absolutely nothing, so this is literally the opposite of reality.
