    I’m curious about the math behind his equation.

    How many times the second amendement has been used? I mean, actually used. How many deaths?

    I’m getting pretty fucking sick of seeing this ‘no one should be killed for their political beliefs’ take going around.

    He wasn’t killed for his beliefs. He was killed because he dedicated his life to terrorizing everyone who isn’t a conservative white man, and was materially supporting state violence in the pursuit of white supremacy.

    That is 100% something we have firmly established that people should be shot for, in multiple wars throughout the last few centuries.

    The saddest thing about it all. MAGA already blaming Dems. No one knows anything about the shooter or motive. But it’s the Dems fault

    It’s always interesting when they use expressions like, god-given rights. That’s not how it works. A right, in the US, is a privilege that has stronger legal protections. That’s all. It’s definitely not given by anyone other than the US government.

    I don’t really agree with much about anything this guys says but at least he’s willing to commit to what he believes and leads by example.

    God given rights?

    Didn’t the British leave Britain for America to get away from the church and give themselves their own rights?

      Don’t worry. This is the casus belli that the Guardians Of Pedophiles have been trying to force for months. As much as I love California, I think it’s time to head back to BC. Things are about to get much worse in the US.

      My advice to anyone else that isn’t prepared to fight for survival is to find a way out now. You don’t have long.

        I don’t know. It’s not quite right. Utah is God’s Country. They’re looking for something in Los Angeles, Chicago, DC. The liberal hellholes.

          “The shooter visited California once, where they were radicalized by the violent left.”
          “The shooter owned an iPhone, which is designed by Apple in California. The violent leftists are responsible.”
          “Liberals, who constantly demonize conservative speech, are responsible!”

          There need not be any actual ties to Los Angeles, Chicago, or DC. They can cut any narrative they like from whole cloth. Denying reality and substituting their own is the rightist way.

            They can try. But declaring martial law nationally over one shooting is a huge escalation. The idea is to ramp up slowly. One city, one state. And trying to start that process in Utah isn’t going to work well. Utah has their own cult, which isn’t fully behind Trump. There’s a risk of a schism. The Mormons are heavily armed, historically militant, and have a desire to form their own nation.

        For a lot of us we can’t simply leave. And if we can, it could still take years for visas. If we are lucky it will be short, but I’m not too optimistic.
