Late things have been taking their natural course for me quite a lot, lately. Probably why I often wake up confused, a bit headache-ey, slightly nauseous, and desperate to write up an audit of all the individuals, nationalities, and religions I may have insulted the night before.The Swollen Goiter of God wrote:late things take their natural course.

Re: Guns and guns and guns and guns!
The Planned Parenthood shooting in Colorado over the weekend?
Obviously the fault of Planned Parenthood. Definitely not the insane level of rhetoric the right has spewed about them over the past few months.
Or so says this right wing lawmaker: http://fox2now.com/2015/12/01/colorado- ... -shooting/
Will we ever learn anything? Ever?

Re: Guns and guns and guns and guns!
This shooting has really got me down. Why this more than others, I'm not sure, but it just makes me want to spew profanity-laced invectives at the right for all the utter bullshit they peddle.

Re: Guns and guns and guns and guns!
I think it has to do with this one being the direct result of people promoting crazy behavior, as opposed to the other ones which are just a result of general crazy.

Re: Guns and guns and guns and guns!
Anti-abortion violence goes back a ways, unfortunately:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-abortion_violence
It's never really needed promotion, but it's getting it. It's a shitty situation.

Re: Guns and guns and guns and guns!
Well, yes. But has it ever been so actively promoted as it is now? There's an entire political and media network actively encouraging people to cling tightly to their guns while preaching the horrors of Planned Parenthood. That feels a scary kind of new to me.

Re: Guns and guns and guns and guns!
I agree with you. The point I intended to make was that it was bad enough without all the promotion. Probably could have worded it better.
I mean, I think I agree with you. I don't follow the media network in question, so I'm just taking people's word for it that violence toward abortion clinics and professionals is being promoted.
If we're talking about the same network I think we're talking about--Fox, I mean--things may be changing. Trump supporters are turning away from it. I don't know what this means. I don't know what he's said recently about abortion, and I don't know if his supporters are aligned with him on this particular issue. I know he's said some conflicting things over the years regarding his stance on abortion, but I haven't kept up with him on the issue.

Hearing news of a shooting event in San Bernadinho California - 20 dead.
Just flashed up during the Syria debate on the news.

Re: Guns and guns and guns and guns!
At least 14 dead, at least that many injured, and naturally we'll do absolutely nothing about it.

Re: Guns and guns and guns and guns!
That's not true. If the shooters were Islamic, we'll send some fighter bombers to drop more ordinance on some pathetic failed state somewhere.

Re: Guns and guns and guns and guns!
I don't wish to sound insensitive. But if this turns out to be the actions of radical Islamists, well I think we all know how that ends.

Re: Guns and guns and guns and guns!
How did the U.S. retaliate after the Boston Marathon bombing? I'm ashamed to admit it, but I've lost track of how our government has responded to half the things it's responded to in the last decade or so.

Re: Guns and guns and guns and guns!
It now seems that the shooter has an Arabic name and is probably Islamic. For normal, sensible people, this is a source of some real concern.
However, for the kind of people who think Donald Trump would make a fine US President...this merely validates his totalitarian, intolerant platform.

Re: Guns and guns and guns and guns!
I don't think they retaliated anywhere so much as they quietly ignored the fact that the brothers were U.S. citizens.The Swollen Goiter of God wrote:How did the U.S. retaliate after the Boston Marathon bombing?

Re: Guns and guns and guns and guns!
Which I'm sure is what will happen with the shooting yesterday. Lots of "thoughts and prayers," lots of "OMG ALL THE MUSLIMS ARE HORRIBLE THIS CLEARLY PROVES IT" and then we'll get distracted by the next mass shooting and move on. Vicious, terrible, senseless cycle.
