    White supremacy is a liberal progressive view now? Must've missed the memo on that one. 

    The right question is can one be a liberal progressive and a white supremacist?  This murderer seems to fit that bill.

    Well, I'm glad to see that you've magically discovered the concept of "nuance" only when it's a white guy blowing away Hispanics because his liberal ideology tells him to fear a "Hispanic invasion'...

    Illegal immigration needs to stop. There should be no pathway to citizenship (besides honorable discharge from the military). Illegal immigration and a prolonged pathway to citizenship creates a secondary, lower class of people. Close the border and streamline the legal immigration process. 

    Uhhhh....sure.

    Uhhh..... sure?

    Correct me if I'm wrong but does this sarcasm, if I may call it such,* mean that you don't think the Border should be secure and legal immigration should be streamlined? Otherwise it's kind of like a very short statute of limitations for Grand Theft Auto. Steal a car keep it hidden for a year and it's yours.

    Plus honorable discharge seems like a reasonable credit toward citizenship, doesn't it?

    i take exception to it being "right wing" 

    the link source did better in that it didnt mention "right wing" 

    but keep the hate rhetoric going  - itll get us nowhere...

    So when nutjobs in Antifa attack people, it's called left-wing/leftie/libtard violence by people on here, but now that it's right-wingers in El Paso pulling the trigger, I'm keeping the "hate rhetoric going". Give me a break. I'm calling it for what it is: extremist, anti-immigrant right-wing violence, fueled by rhetoric coming from the right-wing community.

    And frankly, I don't really give two fucks if you take exception to it being called that or not.

    congratulations for your coming out party - you went full libtard

    never mind that you DID fuel the narrative as did your "stellar" opinion pieces or whatever drivel you chose to use to make sure we all knew it was a "right winger" 

    will love to see the outcome when all is figured out by investigation...

    Gabby Giffords shooter was also called a "right winger"  dude didnt know what day it was!

    nevermind also that while I did agree that the gunman is a sick twisted individual. I wouldnt use a broadbrush SLAM on the conservative thinking folks

    like all the other lefty lemmings here - before all the facts are in

    (red pill is a bitch)

  • All you pathetic white boy liberals go fuck yourselves.

    I'm sure this isn't what you're saying but it doesn't matter who's getting shot up or why. Assigning intrinsic worth to human life based on race, religion or Creed is racist? discriminatory?  It's saying that shooting a white person is not as bad as a minority or religious minority. I think that is a narrative that should be roundly rejected by everyone. Shooting any people should be equally damnable. If we're going to assign value to human life nothing is as evil and devastating as Newtown but we failed to address an obvious problem when twenty 6 year olds were blown away. I doubt making them Hispanic is going to drum up the necessary anger to really do anything except score political points which is exactly what all the politicians are rushing to do.

    So you don’t think that people here illegally that work for automatically lower wages and live 20 to one house, without driver’s licenses or automotive insurance or health insurance or any benefits whatsoever are a lower class?

    the elite let them in and use them.

    Sounds like one of you lefty's on the board to me..

    See my post in the Dayton thread- I'm local, that was around three miles and less than a 10 minute drive from my house.  Don't have time to wade through this entire thread.  

  • @westside-steve said:

    All I'm asking you to do is be realistic. If not it's only political posturing. Now you should look at how many people died in mass shootings every year and compare that to other deaths. If you think it's worth repealing the Second Amendment to cut down on the 20 or 30 or even 40 or 50 deaths a year...

    WSS

    I'm not talking repealing it at all. I'm talking defining it properly and that is where the discussion should be. It's already been done to some extent with the outlawing of automatic weapons. Some states also have magazine limits as well in their gun laws. But it's not universal across the U.S. like it should be. See below for my thoughts on military level weapons.

    @calfoxwc said:

    aha. the old LIBERAL recourse. nobody is talking "Minuteman",

    You know I meant that figuratively cal, not literally. My point was if you want to use military weapons, that's where you can do so legally. Nobody else "needs" to have military style weapons, even if limited to semi-auto. Persons like us with CCWs/LTCs are severely limited in range/accuracy compared to those kinds of weapons. If I'm stuck in a mall shooting like that I at least want a semi-fair chance at stopping it.

      Ok, got that, but Tex - and everybody who thinks gun control over all good and decent citizens is the answer:

    It is NOT. Bombs are illegal.  Look at mcveigh and them. "Military style weapons means anything the left wants it to mean.

    That is the trouble. The left thrives on their emotions to determine right and wrong. If their emotions need an anti-posturing on an issue, anti it is. Same issue - if their emotions change, then a pro-posturing is their stance.

       "military style" ? how about German .22 lr pistols? https://www.google.com/search?q=german+military+.22+pistols&tbm=isch&source=univ&client=firefox-b-1-d&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjetaTEiOrjAhWIVc0KHclFDHEQ7Al6BAgDECQ&biw=1024&bih=693

    The left will simply keep redefining the term to include all guns. NOTE: in the list of military pistos, there's also revolvers.

       The left surely knows that gun control does NOT affect gangs, cartels, deranged nutjobs from getting guns. period.

    But they don't really care about that - they want the political victory in demoralizing political opposition. That is why "red flag" laws are still an idea that has serious trouble. The left wants to use red flags with "swatting" built in, to intimidate political pro-2nd Amendment supporters.

       Just like they turn a blind eye and won't talk about illegals who rape/torture/murder/assault/shoot/cut etc.

    The want the political benefit of the hispanic vote, however long it takes. Even to the point of praising ms-13 and antifa.

    Were it not for the belligerent false narrative, corrupt left - we could have solution laws bipartisan wise.

      "Red flag" laws are needed. That is a serious great idea. Here's the trouble - You write a red flag law, imposing big fines and jail time for false accusations, then you have something to work on.

    The fact of the matter is the guy is evil. You  and the liberal media are trying to pretend this guy checks all the boxes of a stereotype right wing white supremacist who is brainwashed with right wing white supremacist views. He doesn't check off all those boxes in fact some of his views listed in that manifesto are left wing progressive views. You don't want to hear that but the truth is what it is. 

    If we want to talk about toning down rhetoric I am fine with that but as usual you liberals have your blinders on not seeing your own hateful rhetoric that has lead to violence. All the attacks on ICE agents has likely sprung from the rhetoric of the left and comparing detention camps to concentration camps. All the Trump Derangement Syndrome attacks against Trump supporters has come from the inflammatory language used by the left against this president. Same goes with the left wing nut who tried to kill all those republican congressman was likely influenced by the rhetoric from the left. Sorry you can't have it both ways. Everyone should tone down the rhetoric and both sides are guilty of it, not just one side.

    Today’s shooting in El Paso, Texas was not only tragic, it was an act of cowardice. I know that I stand with everyone in this Country to condemn today’s hateful act. There are no reasons or excuses that will ever justify killing innocent people. Melania and I send our heartfelt thoughts and prayers to the great people of Texas.

    I find it interesting you don't dispute what I posted from the article but just keep attacking the messenger. Because I haven't read the manifesto (don't want to waste my time on it, I may read it later ) I won't challenge anything you say but the author of the article I posted did read the manifesto and I don't see how you can believe this murderer didn't have some progressive views. On that part I will grant you. This murderer having some progressive views doesn't necessarily make him a full fledged progressive. But he also is not your stereotyped right wing brainwashed white supremacist  either with having some of those progressive liberal views. I'm just stating some things I believe to be true without trying to make any larger point. 

    There may be a rise in white nationalism or whatever, I don't know and haven't kept up but I will tell you how things usually have played out in recent history. There will be a KKK meeting called for at a certain city and always the case is you will have about a dozen klansman show up (most of whom are probably related) with thousands of protesters against them and if not for police protection  they would probably be torn limb from limb. Their numbers appear to be so small as to be irrelevant.
