This is what you wanted, conservatives. No sense in hiding the cheers you know you want to do. So come on now….

Let it out. Show us you’re not afraid to be called the racist pieces of shit that you are.

Otherwise- start openly standing against this shit for a change.

This is what the pro gun movement has given us.

More guns, more gun deaths.

I hold the entire movement responsible.

There is no body count high enough to change their minds.

Self fulfilling prophecy, it's getting to the point where the high body count is the reason to always have a gun.

It doesn't have to make sense if it feels good

Why not put blame in the hands of pundits who spread the White Supremacist theories that grip these shooters? Why not at the hands of the forums that platform this radicalization? The TV networks that promote it? The gun manufacturers that are willing to profit off of our fears?

Theyre all cobtributing to the problem.

Those pundits only existed because people listen to them.

Sorta... tucker carlson was more wealthy and platformed by the wealthy, and has now for years perfected his fascist brainrotting rhetoric. If no one listened to him, he would just try new tactics until they did.

Lol nobody wanted this. That's just the insane bigoted prejudice of the left

The only people who want this are the most fascist politicians like Marjorie Taylor Greene. and pundit Tucker Carlson. Stochastic terrorism is a very niche career! But I can excuse other American voters from reaponsibility for this shit, yeah.

I didn’t say it was wanted- I said it’s not cared about if their right to fuck their guns is threatened.

I didn’t say it was wanted

...

This is what you wanted, conservatives.

LOL

Do you honestly think I meant that conservatives WANT dead children? It’s implied that they want lax gun laws- and this is a RESULT of what they wanted.

Form now on, I’ll do better to underestimate people’s ability to decipher meaning from context.

You didn't even use the word "gun", and then just called them racist.

So you want people to just ignore the hateful stuff you actually write and imagine some other meaning?

Dude; you’re all over the place here with creating your little strawmen. They’re shit strawmen, but recognizable nonetheless, so…

I’m going to just go ahead and ignore you from this point forward as you have nothing meaningful to add to the discussion.

I'm responding to exactly what you said. If anything it's you bringing out the strawmen

Okay, so when did I call anyone racist?

Lol are you just fucking with me, or do you just not remember all the hateful bigoted things you're constantly saying?

Show us you’re not afraid to be called the racist pieces of shit that you are.

Holy imax Batman! The projection is strong with this one!

Dude, you’re a bad troll. Just stop. It’s embarrassing.

I grew up in Miami. The first rime I saw a confederate flag outside of a textbook was driving up to DC when we stopped to get food in Jacksonville. This was in the mid 90s.

Guess you didn't stop in Orlando.

Nopers. We took I-95 all the way up. However, when I was in middle school, I had a friend move from Miami to Orlando, and she had shared that there was a lot of racism there.

Eh, I don't see it driving around Orlando.

There is that fuckoff huge one flying in Tampa though.

I meant more in the late 90s/early 00s.

Also, get outside the suburbs. There's hatred out there.

hopefully the FBI can figure out what insane online groups this guy might have been a part of & whether he was a copycat shooter.
