    Please let the shooter be a white dude. If he is any minority group they’re gonna be the first to get the supreme Court treatment when he takes power, which seems inevitable now.

      Doesn’t matter if your first second or 5th.

      You’re going to get the camp treatment anyways.

      We don’t learn from history.

      First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.

      Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.

      Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.

      Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

        The YouTube channel is not political for what it’s worth (imho, I’ve watched an occasional video from time to time the last 6+ years or so). Started as a veterinarian who shot weird shit out of a shotgun, and now makes videos doing weird stuff with guns at his range or shoots weird/unique guns.

          I probably should have, looks like Elon “Free Speech” Musk must’ve purged the post from the site as I can’t get it to load this morning. Apologies for the omission.
