Funny how burning and looting pales in comparison to murder. With the murder by car in Charlottesville, and now Trump rally attendee Kyle Rittenhouse murdering 2 people with a gun in Kenosha, you see a pattern developing. You thought the country was going to hell with the protests? Now we have a pattern of murder coming directly from the Republican Party.
When republicans get angry people die. Cops shoot black men in the back, and republicans respond by murdering protesters of the violence.
Make sure you know where the kids are, and the family is safe because the Republican murder culture could be coming to your town next.

You should be careful of the conclusions you are coming to when you don't have all the facts...when you don't know the results of investigations. You might find yourself being required to eat your own words. (Or worse, have to walk away from the table in shame.)

It’s funny how we’re to “understand” some violence but we can go ahead and send this 17 years old kid directly to death row without need for a trial, or attorneys, or constitutional protections with full support of lefties.

Defending yourself from violent criminals isn't murder. The reason Fields and Rittenhouse are in jail is because they had wrong opinions (wrong opinions were explicitly part of the basis for federal charges against Fields). With how screwed up the country is I expect them to meet the same fate.

Ah, but I’m not of the solemn “we must understand rather not condemn the violence” crowd.

Donald Trump has sent some very clear messages, that if you commit violent acts he says he'll pay your legal fees. If you commit Federal crimes he commutes your sentence, has the AG recommend lower sentences, or maybe even will pardon you. The real culture of crime and murder is coming from messages sent by Donald Trump.

You’re so perfectly aware of your hypocrisy that in just one post you regressed to total incoherence.

I'm waiting for details/leaks of the reason for Trump's inaction regarding the Coronavirus while it was ravaging only blue cities. Why is that other countries including original epicenter China have had nowhere near as many deaths and cases as the U.S.? It's because they followed epidemiologist recommendations of complete immediate shutdown, not denying there was a threat.
There is a lack of respect for life and law coming from Donald Trump, it's in his actions and the messages he has been sending, and it has gone on far too long. He needs to be stopped.

Aubrey Huff praises Kenosha murder suspect Kyle Rittenhouse - New York Daily News

Apparently the Trumpster claim on Trump supporter Kyle Rittenhouse is self defense, and far rightwing lunatic Aubrey Huff is calling him a national treasure. Will we see a rejection of this stance from the republicans? If not, it's apparently OK to start firing your rifles at people you do not agree with politically, and if this precedent is allowed to remain unchecked it's open season for everybody on many sides.
I know the situation, and someone else fired first, but there has to be some accountability from Rittenhouse walking down the street with a rifle obviously looking for a confrontation. It was certainly not Rittenhouse's job to protect anything, he is a minor, and not a cop.

Of course not. He has been appointed by God to call liberals hypocrites, and that appointment means he has no duty to do whatever predictable thing he is dishonestly accusing others of not doing.

He's just playing The Hypocrite Game again. Every time he does it he ignores his own failure to call out or condemn whatever it is he's attacking someone else for supposedly failing to call out or condemn.





X, enough of your stupid ****ing schtick. Nobody made you God. You don't get to demand that every person you say is on the left get your attention and publicly condemn whatever act of violence you single out for the day.

If you start from the assumption that a person supports every single act of violence they do not call out (and then alert you to their having called out), that's solely a reflection of you, not them. It's also horrifically stupid and dishonest.

If you want to talk about Murder Culture, we should talk about the killing of people in the inner cities all over the country.

Those murders are not being committed by Republicans.

Cherry picking 2 instances over a many year period, does not indicate a Murder Culture.

There are several policy and culture decisions conservatives have embraced that support this assertion:

The police, a sacred cows of the GOP is increasingly infiltrated by right-wing extremists/white supremacists, some of whom come from the military, another GOP sacred cow.
Stand your ground and gun carry laws.
The private prison industry.
The tearing apart of families by deporting its members.
Dehumanizing and forcing those seeking asylum to languish in primitive encampments.
Arguing that secular humanists want to destroy western culture and destroy our way of life.
Characterizing liberals not as opponents to be debated but enemies to be destroyed.
Placing property rights over human rights.

Republicans support policies, such as Trump's pledge to keep the poor out of the suburbs, that perpetuate an environment where these things happen.

Its hypocritical to condemn violence in poverty-ridden, racially segregated ghettos (and lets be honest, conservatives only do in order to blame liberals) while perpetuating policies that cause it to happen.
