The American mass shooting thread

[Ax^]

quite sure if you ask him , he say he was just a normal bloke

 

[Yuwipi Woman]

when you start talking about the great replacement theory not sure if you can claim to be normal

Even if you believe in it, why would you think that killing people would be your best course? Why not just go out and breed more white people?

(Probably because there's an overlap between incels and these people).

I've mentioned this guy at work before.
Working in a UK university with all the benefits that implies in terms of conditions, holidays etc and this guy in his 30s (later I heard a colleague call him "Tory boy" ) ... initially before the "online atheist community" went down the manosphere plughole, we occasionally met on summer work and swapped stories about crazy American creationists ...

Keto diet, "bone broth" ... microdosing, Peterson fanboi ... talked about his 50-something mother like she was a fragile old woman ...building a BitCoin thing at home - anti-RFID wallet ...determined to become wealthy and go "off-grid" ... He must have hated having women running the department - the whole place was a liberal bubble.
I'd heard stories about his bizarre support for Trump etc and Brexit and one day when I was trapped in a room with him he was saying how the US media was totally biased towards "the left" ... used the word "intersectionality" - first time I'd heard of it ...and when I expressed my automatic support for maginalised groups "so you're an SJW then" ... during Covid he had Trump as a Teams avatar ...

It came to a head one day when alone early in the morning around election time within a few sentences "the poor want our money" and "Muslims are outbreeding us" ... all I could come up with was "maybe you should lay off the psychedelics" ...

Later there was an email suggesting we stay away from politics.

A younger colleague of mine who is stuck working there often ended up having to work with him- though he was more robust than me ...

So this university-educated English guy working in a university and clearly sucking directly on the Faux News teat ..

I wasn't aware of the extent of what had happened to atheists.

Seems to hold up the idea that it is a poor substitute for religion.

Sometimes you have to while away half an hour or so until the next one.

I was just saying that the "replacement theory" from the US right even infects apparently intelligent people in the UK ...

 

[Ax^]

the problem with truth seekers and the do your own research lot is they cannot tell they being groomed by the right for years

There are indeed people in the UK who believe in the white replacement theory. For instance, here's one:



The irony here is that he writes novels about the American west.

It's not easy to replace a population if you live in an enclave.

plus a whole bunch in the north of Ireland called the DUP/orange men

He has a hint of Lionel Jeffries about him

He reminded me of Enoch Powell:

I imagine he would be a bigger influence on him too

By all accounts, Dawkins has opened his gob again.

Since when did a 7 year old need a gun for at school!!!

Although the police account suggests the child was grazed by a bullet, Principal Paul Riskus emailed a letter to parents saying the student was grazed by debris. It suggested the injured student was hit with flying debris from where the bullet struck rather than the bullet itself. It also explained the student suffered “minor scrapes.”

“I would like to acknowledge how incredibly challenging (Tuesday) was for all of us. As a parent, staff member or community member of the school, the news received was emotionally difficult. The safety of our students ... is the top priority,” it said. “We will work diligently to learn from this experience and will strive to rebuild the sense of safety that was jeopardized (Tuesday).”

Oh well that makes it alright then ...

I wonder if it even made it to national news in the US ...

fair play to the pastor who smashed the fucker in the head with a chair

shouldn't he have turned the other cheek?

I wonder how many gang-related deaths are actually caused by ricochets in any case ?

I witnessed a gang shooting outside my flat years ago, can't remember how many shots were fired, but someone did get shot in the leg.

Luckily, it never went to court, otherwise I might've ended up in witness protection.

Never went to court?

Did all participants put their hands up, admit that mistakes had been made, and resolve to be more careful about precise turf boundaries in the future?

you're a great poster, and my own opinion of rightists will be pretty clear all over the board, but this is not on.

Hey there, petee

Is it the questioning of sexuality or self esteem issues that irks you? Is it the MAGA link or needing someone to focus rage on?


Not having a go - genuine curious.

Corners can't be relied on. Anything could be lurking.

Why? Unlike 90 % of my posts on this thread this one isn’t supposed to be funny. When I saw it I thought it summed up at least 60% of the violent angry men I have dealt with over the years.

So I would be genuinely interested to know why it causes you offence. Perhaps might be worth a separate thread.

No armed black people get arrested?!!
And they get murdered either way?

It’s an outrage!!
