Shooting at congress baseball practice game (suspect in custody)

[Tactical Nuke]

If we're gonna talk about political violence I think we should include the "don't tread on me" chuds too.

The "don't tread on me chuds" weren't backed by the Republican elite. In fact, you'd be hard-pressed to find anyone on the Republican side that supports them aside from like one guy from Mississippi or some stuff.

Meanwhile, the Democratic Party has been shown to be in cahoots with the mainstream media, refuses to acknowledge any Republican presidency as legitimate, and advocates racism against whites, much less discrimination and division in general. You must have missed the calls for violence from loving Tim Kaine. Y'know, the guy who was almost the vice president of the United States?

You want a bunch of raving loons to storm DC with guns targeting a "tyrannical government", you got it yesterday.

Except the government isn't tyrannical yet you loving clod. It wasn't during Obama's time either, so don't pull the "lol Annoying Orange richard-sucker" card.
Tyrannical government means soldiers with guns are coming to your house, forcing themselves through the door, silencing you, taking your guns and staying in your house without your permission. It means a totalitarian state. We are not a totalitarian state.
Stop trying to pin this on the 2nd Amendment advocates when you know that this is 100% the Democratic elite's fault.

Oh forget off, dude. You won't say the same thing when a right-wing terror attack comes. If that's the case this list should make you squirm. You'd probably cheer if a bus full of antifa "thugs" crashes into a burning building.

At the top of that list is a terrorist attack committed by a Bernie supporter. You can't get more wrong than that.
Antifa crashing into a burning building would be funny, given how Antifa are a bunch of stupid chuds. Would I cheer it on? No.

reguardless of the political stance no government official deserves assassination. there's nothing funny about this

That's my take, I don't really care whether the guy supports Sanders, Annoying Orange or forgetin Bob Avakian, I don't wanna see people have their lives threatened because of mentally ill terrorists

[IkeTheGeneric]

How is politics not relevant here?

It's not about "politics", it's about how regardless of your spot on the political compass, the sane half of the community is getting really loving sick of you political hacks and this stupid need to stick it to the other party 24/7. This is neither the time or the place to go on a rant about why the other side is bad and stupid and evil.

Holy stuff, I didn't know the Democratic Party elite was comprised of a bunch of tankies ready to storm the halls of Congress

Notice the "Q U O T E S"

Also just wanna say if you really think this incident is 100% because of Democrats that's like saying people are violent because of video games. We know the latter's not true, it's because those violent offenders are loving mentally ill, so let's say the same of political leaders.

So if you're gonna say that we have to condemn Kathy Griffin because some tankie shoots up a baseball game, I say we keep on the lookout for all those alt-right weirdos who write blocks of texts sounding like the Unabomber because you never know. Sounds dumb right?

Lol you absolute dipstuff, calm yourself.
First off, you linked me to a list with a psy-op at the very top of it. Do your research, that guy was a bernout who actively sought to pass himself off as some kind of national socialist. It was all over his facebook.
Everything on that list, I have condemned it, for quite obvious reasons. What I am saying, and I will continue to say, is that in this current political climate, the left, who has control over the media and most social media sites, has been pushing progressively violent rhetoric towards Annoying Orange, the right, and anyone else who opposes them. I wouldn't cheer if a bus full of Antifa crashed into a building and they all died, because Antifa is just a bunch of LARPing, misguided idiot college kids. Why would I want misguided idiot college kids to die? They'll grow up one day and realize they were idiots. They aren't like CIA. Honestly, grow the forget up. There has yet to be any right-wing equivalent of Antifa, you don't see right-wing politicians calling for their constituents to fight the opposition ON THE STREETS (TIM KAYNE, LORRETTA LYNCH, ETC), right-wing celebrities with the decapitated head of a major left-wing figure in hand? I mean come the forget on, how can you deny this stuff is a problem inside the democratic party? This is the exact same stuff that cost them the election, only worse, because now they're loving killing people over it.

They have been ever since Annoying Orange got in. Are you just not paying attention or what?

The excuse that Jack Thompson and his ilk circulate about violent video games is that it "equips" the shooter with the skills necessary to carry out the shooting. Which, yes, is loving stupid. The excuse isn't that it provides them intent; the shooter usually has to decide for himself that he has to shoot people.

Meanwhile, "people need to fight in the streets", "THIS IS OUR TIME!!11!!1!!1! TIME FOR REVOLUTION!!!!1!!1!!1111!!!!!11!1!" and "this guy is such a loving back-asswards tribal who doesn't deserve to be in power" all give the person more than enough reasons to carry out the attack. This guy didn't even have to use a gun. He could've killed people through any means he knew how.

to be totally fair, the right wing is in power right now. there's no reason for them to riot for representation, because they already have it. i'm not trying to justify anything here, just saying it's not as simple as the left being full of raging lunatics

Yeah I know you aren't trying to justify anything here, and I do agree, that might be part of the reason why we aren't seeing the right-wing equivalent of a major leftist ideological meltdown. All I'm trying to say is that the mainstream media and many democratic politicians and leaders are responsible for this because they have been constantly feeding the public increasingly egregious bullstuff to the point we are currently at, and it needs to be addressed. But the only thing any criticism of stuff like this is met with is whataboutism from people who refuse to see the core issue here.

[Nonnel]

good to hear no one died

[LeisureSuit912]

You both are being a bit disingenious when you point to Tim Kaine and Loretta Lynch's vague statements about "fighting in the streets" being the cause for political violence

If that's the case I want this Facebook post from a Louisiana congressman to be front and center the next time there's an anti-Muslim killing spree in America.

Every shooting there's some fringe group of handicaps scrambling to figure out what the "Core issue" of it was that caused the shooting, rather than realizing that the shooter in question was mentally ill and dangerous 99% of the time. This time is no different. Be it your insane ramblings about the main stream media, a supposed obsession with doom or what have you, it's all the forgetin same.

the media is absolutely responsible for a good deal of the political climate these days, though it's a complex problem and i think it's more profit-motivated than anything else. since watergate, the vietnam war, etc. the media's tended to switch to a much more sensationalist "watchdog" approach to journalism that focuses a lot more on trying to expose corruption and cause alarm than in previous eras, and as you might imagine, this approach can tend to instigate divisive and heated rhetoric, and it kinda feeds into itself over time. but, it makes money because it catches people's attention, and people like it in the short term, because as it turns out, people really enjoy drama lol

nearly everyone agrees at this point that the media is a stuffshow, even if they disagree about why, and it's obvious that the right feels especially disgruntled, probably for a lack of a sense of proper representation

actually looking into it a bit more, the partisan divide on news media outlook is pretty interesting: http://www.journalism.org/2017/05/10/americans-attitudes-about-the-news-media-deeply-divided-along-partisan-lines/ i thought things were much more unanimous, but it shifts all the time with the swing of the federal government. however, the most recent divide is exceedingly large, probably not unlikely that this is fueled largely by anti-MSM sentiments being given a real platform in the white house

Holding my breath that this isn't some hard-left terrorist group responsible, that would be the loving last thing our country needs.

I feel like we see that with Russia, everytime I bother turning on CNN all they talk about is Russia.
