The guy who allegedly shot the Republican congressman today was inspired by political cartoons maybe? He apparently loved Luckovich...so prepare for those hot takes.

Here's Lester on the Giffords shooting which is already topical because the security detail returned fire and didn't kill the shooter.

But what if another one of those people on the crowd was a law-abiding gun owner? They hear the sound of gunfire, grab their pistol and see two people with guns. Which one is the bad guy and which one is the fellow law-abiding gun owner? Or maybe they're both bad guys? Our hero doesn't have time to wait and see who each gunman is shooting at, they have to make a split-second decision because their lives and the lives of everyone around them are at risk, the adrenaline's pumping, so they go with their gut and shoot whoever has the darker skin color.

Uh, dude, the gunman is clearly standing in the middle of nowhere with the victim on one side of him and the good guys on the other. Guns for everyone.

Cythereal posted:I think it was called Dial H For Hero and I have no idea, go ask BSS. I just follow the comic book movies and tv threads there, and that comic was mentioned at one point. I think you're thinking of Heroes for Hire, which was Luke Cage and Iron Fist and co. basically doing exactly what the title says. I think they talked about possibly making a Netflix series of it eventually since we already have both Iron Fist and Jessica Jones?

Protesting an incompetent president is literally indistinguishable from shooting an unarmed man. Also the country is divided but it's your fault and not mine. I thought Trump was going to unite the country. His base couldn't stop saying that the social/racial/class/political divide was going to be healed, even though they never said how. Where's that magic, Don?

Likewise this is just so self-evidently ridiculous there's no way we should even listen to testimony, it's obviously fake. "Can you imagine the president or any of his cabinet colluding with Russia? It's through the looking glass! That's why we can automatically conclude it didn't happen."
