"bring that" to America ?

Remember that whole "we have always been at war with X" bit; where the great leader suddenly replaces X with Y and the population immediately does not remember there used to be an X ?

Remind you of anything in the USA nowadays ?


No, actually, what are you even talking about?

Nope. Are you denying that the PRC is an oppressive dictatorship?

Yah but that always seemed like you needed a bit of metal working knowledge.

Of course that's never stopped criminals before.

I am referencing one of the most significant plotpoints of 1984 (which I assume you never bothered to read) and not too subtly hinting that this is a staple thing for the GOP.
Getting an education was a bit like a communicable sexual disease.
It made you unsuitable for a lot of jobs and then you had the urge to pass it on.

I mean, it's a pretty reasonable to refuse to allow a far-right plot to dictate the terms of the response to this attack. Not that I think that stricter gun laws would be a good response.

I mean, they've been bombing left-wing extremists for years. Giving Reich-wingers the same treatment is fine with me.

Well, yes, ideally. However, given the American love affair with police budgets, that seems unlikely. Since equal protection under the law seems mostly a pipe dream, I'll settle for equal violence.

Not really what I was trying to get at. A gun ban would be not only stupid and extremely divisive but would also be ineffective and solve nothing, hence why the shooter wants it to be the outcome to spark his race war. Same with the Christchurch shooter.

And I thought I had dumb ideas.

And what does that even have to do with the comments you're replying to?

That sounds dangerously like being anti police and therefore anti America, citizen.

Knock it off with both the trolling and basically going "YAY VIOLENCE AGAINST THOSE GUYS!" If you can't debate your point without resorting to "fun" nicknames like "Reich-wing", then maybe don't try debating it.

He had already threatened a school shooting previously and tortured a cat to death. I think this kid was just looking for an excuse and as such should not be treated entirely as a political act of terror, imo.

The saddest part of this is the massive loss of life. May they rest in peace.

The second saddest is just how routine this thread is.

I said "entirely". He already had a history of mental illness and fantasization about this kind of thing. I am saying it would be ham-fisted reductionism to not take all the factors into consideration. I've read parts of the manifesto and he seems like he just wanted some kind of excuse to kill people and latched on to something to justify it in his mind. It was an act of terror, yes, but there is more than that at play and the surrounding context should not be ignored.

Only if you're a moron. Or got an agenda to push that aligns a bit too much with the killer's.

There are procedures for dealing with crimes. Summary execution is not part of that procedure. I also don't like the death penalty, as it's an expensive process that isn't reversible in the case of a mistaken conviction.
Gun control is like trying to solve drunk driving by making it harder for sober people to own cars.

Any accident you can walk away from is one I can laugh at.
