After we outlaw guns, we will have to turn our attention to watermelons. You can drop a bunch from a manhattan rooftop and create your own mass killing on the sidewalk below.

So watch the Monty python skit on how to protect yourself from a fruit attack

Don't you guys have any clients, any work, maybe clean out your trucks or something? Good grief.
There is no truth anymore. Only assertions. The internet world has no interest in truth, only vindication for preconceived assumptions.

I’m about to leave the beach and head home. Got the van loaded, and have had breakfast, and just waiting until I’m told to get in and drive. So no, I don’t.
Civil War reenactment is LARPing for people with no imagination.

You're so right!

I've been listening to the latest Trump rallies and I've been shaking in my boots! I've installed extra locks and deadbolts and disabled any Wi-Fi, Zig-Bee, Z-Wave locks. The caravan is getting closer and closer. It's filled with MS-13 and loads of middle eastern terrorists.

I was so relieved to find out that these latest attacks in the USA were committed by our own right wing fringe crazy people and not the caravan crowd! Of course they're still not here yet so I ain't letting my guard down.

I also heard that the PA shooter was very anti-Trump! As we all are, right? I mean he promised a wall ("Who's gonna pay for it?" "Mexico"), he promised low-cost, affordable health care coverage for everybody, he promised to drain the swamp and all he's done is fill it up with even swampier things. And those things were going to be completed by noon on his first day.

I don't know - have we been conned?

You have more in common with the PA shooter by using your analogy of Trump rhetoric as the cause. But I would not blame Trump if you went crazy, nor would I blame Bernie. Bernie was not to be blamed for the shootings of Scalise, Griner, Barth and Mika either.
You can play blame game on shooters, bombers, cheaters, but it all boils down to crazy people doing stupid things. Don't go down that road blaming people. It boils down to personal responsibility.
Should we blame Obama or Trump for the 490 homicides in Chicago? Neither you fool.
Turn the TV off and quit twitter. Dump facebook. Be nice to your friends and neighbors and get your personality back.
Trump is a egotistical 4D troll who is good at business. My business has never been better, but if someone would make him go silent, CNN and MSNBC would go out of business. They need each other. And I don't like listening to any of them.
There are always threats at our border to be taken seriously. You just don't like the way the commander in chief says it.

I am also from Michigan.
What is wrong with being white?
What is wrong with being Black?
What is wrong with having Pink hair. Nothing.
Nothing is wrong with being a nationalist.
So did you bother to read the information? Did you bother to check the references?

In a nutshell, if you cannot read a conclusion, there is not a lot of islamic jihadist trying to get through the southern border, but some middle easterners have been detained. It is only a pathway that needs to be controlled and monitored. As of right now, not a big issue, and that is not the way Trump spoke about it. He was wrong the way he said it. Nothing new there as you know. I like detail in John's post.
I am not an NPC and go full in with anyone. I don't follow him or believe him or anyone 100% . I do not watch late night shows anymore because of the politics.
We live in a time with truly awful corporate media and the crap has spread like wildfire through academia too.

These are not the results of political rhetoric speech. These are the actions of mentally unstable people. Sane people don’t go out and kill someone just because they heard someone make an extreme example in a speech. And the 24 hr news networks trying to fill time amplifies each act which in turn drives other insane people to seek fame and notoriety.

That pretty much explains it in my mind.

The "left" as well as the "media"is fully against Trump and the resulting reaction is pure defense.

What ever happened to acceptance and getting along?
Working together sadly is a thing of the past.

I'm sick of the violence.
Senseless.

I live in a rural area 25 miles southeast of Portland Oregon and the violence in that town makes me not want to go there.EVER!

I'm a second degree blackbelt ,have a concealed carry license,and feel I'm fully capable of defending myself in any situation but I have no desire to deal with these idiots.
It's not worth my time............but.........keep pushing it.........I might just show up!!
I'm that tired of it!

You got to kick a mans ass sometimes........
Every day is a good day.......some are just better than others!

This is where people can get into unnecessary situations, often willingly -- just to test their defense wheels.

I'm not a martial arts person and I don't own a gun. I can recall one late evening situation on a well lit major city main street when I was approached by a very drunk man demanding that I walk in a side street. This was clearly a racial challenge. "Decking" this person (who had already thrown an inept punch) would have been a one handed affair, but about a block away was a pack of his friends egging him on. This could have developed into a major confrontation if I had physically engaged with him. I moved to the side street.

Always keep a can of whoop-ass handy. Learnt that at church camp.
I came into this game for the action, the excitement. Go anywhere, travel light, get in, get out, wherever there's AV trouble, a man alone.

I had this very discussion with my neighbor and I don't think there is any one thing you can a finger at and have the correct answer.

I believe this is the result of the over all moral decay of our society. 30 years ago we had shotguns and rifles in our vehicles in the student parking lot and never had a "gun" issue because it's not a gun issue it's a people issue.

I wish the solution were as easy to point the finger at Trump or Clinton or Obama and find the problem but they aren't the ones shooting or bombing anyone.

I'm not an expert nor claim to be an expert on human behavior but several issues seem to be affecting the situation

1) Detachment from society: The over use and anonymity of the internet, facebook and twitter type services has limited our scope of dealing with other people. People leaving nasty messages and tweets might not be so apt to do so if they had to face the person while delivering them.

Family dinners and car rides used to be family discussions or sing along games now have become 5 people with their heads buried in their phone.

2) Kids today being pumped full of medication rather than being shown and educated on how to deal with their problems and stress. Many of the medications list manic behavior and suicide among the possible side effects.

3) The idea that someone with a different opinion than yours is a sworn enemy to be beaten and destroyed rather than tolerated and collaborated with.

I think we as a society have to step up and admit our short comings and take responsibility for ourselves before this problem is going to go anywhere.
One thing I have learned in this industry. It is easier to pull a wire than it is to push one.

Only the extremist want to ban guns. Myself and many of my friends own guns and we lean left. That argument holds as strong as all conservatives are white supremacists. Excluding the asshole posting hate messages here.

Anyone want to bet the over/under on how many Klan members also support Trump. A white supremacist rally is also a Trump rally these days.

And this is why I try no longer participate in political discussions anymore.

All sense of rationality has vanished, it always devolves into "you are a racist", no, "you are a communist" in no time.

Meanwhile I will sit over here all by my libertarian self thinking libertarian thoughts. That of a government that stays out of bedrooms, gun safes etc. One that cares not about what others do provided they are not hurting anyone else.

Last time I mentioned that I won't vote for anyone who thinks that I (a small business owner in CA) don't pay my "fair share" in taxes already. By the end of the conversation I was deemed, uncaring, racist and hater of the poor and immigrants.

Meanwhile, I can't afford to provide my own healthcare thanks to the "help" of our government that took away my affordable catastrophic plan because it didn't cover my nonexistent vagina and other random nonsense.

Government is not the answer, more government is never going to be the answer no matter what "team" you root for.

The current president comes off like a bumbling moron. Clearly he isn't, nobody amasses a multi billion dollar empire if they are a moron. The last guy was a fantastic orator, he could read prepared speeches off a teleprompter in a way that few can. Guy before him stuck his finger in the wind to figure out what his opinion was and the guy before that just stuck his finger (and other things) in anybody that stood in front of him long enough.

This sh*t ain't gonna end well, that is all I can say.
I am a trained professional..... Do not attempt this stunt at home.
