"I'm all for violence and hate, just not towards me. I want to spread hate and fear, as I'm a soldier for my beliefs. But not when there's a slightest chance of risk for my own safety involved. I only want to harm others while being safe myself."

It seems that they have definitely started to show themselves so much more that TACO is in office now.

I suppose people are starting to notice.

"But I thought only Republicans had guns. I only want to target defenseless minorities. I'm not willing to die for this cause!"

I would laugh so hard if the person responsible turned out to be a republican... again.

It would be extra great if the shooter was a pardoned Jan. 6 insurrectionist.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 20 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

It would be nice extra great if he never got caught, and all MAGAs would all have to worry that there's a sniper out there waiting to kill them at any moment.

How come cops are so incompetent nowadays? I thought they were only hiring the best, and now they can barely catch, what, four shooters now?

They stood around for Uvalde, took them a short time to catch the Highland Park guy, Luigi went on the run for days…

It’s fun when they can’t even hide their incompetence.

I remember back when Columbine happened, and while the shooters were thought to be there in the school actively killing students, the cops were moving around aimlessly, chatting and laughing in little groups, like it was a weekend cop picnic. I was outraged by the lack of concern or urgency.

Decades later, it was the same thing at Uvalde, except we had video of them inside the school, and saw how absolutely cowardly they were.

It was the same at Parkland, where the school security officer cowered outside, and then talked other cops out of entering, as they stood outside with their guns, and listened to the killer murder innocent, unarmed students, one after another.

All those years, and nothing had changed. Cops are just as cowardly and useless today as they've always been.

Because anyone who was competant in the FBI was fired as woke.

[–] Mediocre_Bard@lemmy.world 9 points 15 hours ago

Someone pointed out the Uvalde police larpers did not engage for 144 minutes, which is also the run time of the smash Marvel vampire hit Morbius, and I think that completely explains their actions.

[–] psycho_driver@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago

My head would explode.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 9 points 16 hours ago

They would just say that that he donated a dollar at the grocery store check out line to help a children's hospital when he was 12, so he's a liberal.

Statistically... Most radicalized loonies are Republicans or have similar beliefs.

Edit: I mean, no sane person would actually grab a gun and kill a public figure. (not that I'm complaining now, or with Luigi)

You can definitely read this in Shapiro’s voice.
