"Motorists", also very nice of the guy that called Mexicans rapists, accused the president of being a Kenyan and says he will ban all Muslims to be decrying racial tensions.

Seriously shut the gently caress up Donny.

It's just business.

It's almost as if someone has been stoking the flames of racial tension in this country for their own personal gain.

The problem is that this line of thinking isn't the actual enemy.

The actual problem is that for a lot of Americans what happened in Dallas will just be this weird moral balancing act. The racist cops are bad but the people on the other side are also bad. So without a side to really go on, we fall on the side of just doing nothing. Choosing a perceived moral high ground of inaction.

Whatever we end up doing, you can bet it will be wrong headed, ineffective, watered down, overly politicized and ultimately useless.

After the Giffords shooting, the only notable thing that occured in the mental health front was the governor of Arizona slashing its budget by half.

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


I tend to side with the mages more often than the templars so I'm betting on black in the upcoming race war.

Even if they doubled it, it wouldn't do poo poo for mass shootings because mental illness isn't really the common denominator between them

Umm I just used the subway to go to work and it was normal.

Other than being 8000 degrees, maximum humidity, and smelly. That's normal for summer though.

No one knows what the gently caress is happening of how it happened yet. It's all just baseless speculation for the most part.

Eh, I'm gonna sit this one out myself, but if I were a betting man, I mean, just based on record alone...

There's a lot of bad stuff about white people, and genocide is one of those things because it turns out we're really good at it.

No. But usually these things devolve from "Multiple shooters with a well-planned ambush attack" to "One crazy gently caress with a rifle".

From the media coverage, I'd hazard a guess that the shooter who was killed was black and pissed about cops killing black men, but I don't know.

just seemed like a thousand eyes darting around i silence. the heat won't help. no cops though - i was definitely expecting a bag check this morning.
