Shut them up at the car repair...

[JT45242]

Idiot manager of my father in law's preferred car repair brought up the asshat and what a tragedy it was.

I just said. "Well the shooter was apparently a fan of Fuentes, the neoNazi. You should probably be angry with Fuentes rolling people up about Kirk.'

That shut the Nazi sympathizer up.

1. Sounds like a decent strategy. This appears to be a gang war, and despite the Faux News, it's going to be clear.

Right on Right, White on White.

They're just settling differences "like men" (in the stone age)

2. This lands at Trump's feet as well

When he pardoned the J6 Insurrectionists, he essentially condoned the idea of political violence. That was a powerful message.

3. Makes Kirk's last words even more poignant

The attendee informed him that the total was five and continued: “Do you know how many mass shooters there have been in America over the last 10 years?”

“Counting or not counting gang violence?” Kirk replied before, just seconds later, he was struck by the bullet and fell from his chair, prompting the panicked crowd to disperse in terror.

Killed by gang violence.

4. I don't understand. .the total was 5? What total? Certainly not the number

of mass shootings in the last ten years. There have been more than that this month alone.

6. 5 was response to number of transgender shooters question...

…before following up with total number question

7. How would I know that "fact" when it was not in the post to which I

responded? There is nothing in that post to indicate the context of the statements.

8. They are only safe from each other if they can keep their collective anger directed towards their chosen boogey men

And they live for anger and rage. They will devour themselves and each other without batting an eye. They have enjoyed a growing movement which meant there were enough forage that they could coexist. Once they hit peak MAGA, which seems they might have, they lose the common narrative, start competing with each other, and no one is safe.
