Politically motivated violence thread

[Cygnus]

That comment section is a trainwreck.

I see what you did there. Well played....and likely going "nowhere"

 

[2A_Tom]

Well, I have a higher standard for "violence"....but I can't argue with the results.

All I can say is that if ANYONE walks up behind me and pulls my hat down over my eyes, They will have their shins raked, metatarsals stomped and their ribs vigorously elbowed.

They may even be drawn down on.

Yes, clearly Mr. Smollett is a very troubled person, and I do feel sorry for him.

However, that does not change how I am clearly convinced that he should be charged for the hoax he perpetrated and, if convicted, punished appropriately, given the disruption his self-pitying stunt caused.

Who is running the shop at Gannett? If the now-slimmed-down Indy Star is representative, probably the editor/newsroom manager/reporter/janitor, who is the only person left in the building.

How can you start with showing someone compassion if they won’t even admit to committing the offending deed?

Howbout Smollett owning up to and showing contrition for what he did first?

And the kicker is that even if he did that it probably still wouldn’t change his caustic attitude toward MAGA supporters that he tried to frame as violent racist homophobes.

So no i‘m not so quick to jump on the compassion bandwagon.

Because he's gay and black which gives him 2 to 20 plus points over everybody else. (depending how they score it) Affirmative action demands that we respect that or you're racist and homophobic.

This is literally the crap that California was shoving down our throats since the early 80s.

Are we setting dates? or taking bets?

I am very surprised it hasn't happened by now. Thing is, depending on where it happens, one justified shoot could escalate into a mob retaliation quickly.



***NOTE TO SELF - Carry more ammo.

Thus underscoring the need for high capacity magazines and carrying spares, as in "Who wants to be the first 52 to die"

When I read this post, I had this sudden vision of the game Intersectionality:The Victimhood, modeled after how I think Magic:The Gathering works, where contestants play cards based on aspects of their intersectionality with inherent power levels until one winner becomes the Victim of Victims

Compassion for Smollett, if he's convicted, would be a sentence severe enough to discourage recidivism. Coddling him because he is "troubled" will only demonstrate to him that he can get away with it and should probably try something even more stupid next time.

If convicted, he should, at the very least, be subject to whatever sentencing a "real" attacker would have been. Possibly worse, since a "real" attacker would probably be honest about his motivations.

Huh.

Whatever happened to the Jessie guy. Think he was an actor or something.

Sort of disappeared from the headlines.

He'll be back. He's still writing the 2nd act to this soap opera.

It should take a while using crayon on toilet paper from a jail cell...

If the story doesn't fit the narrative, it will be "on page 6 below the fold." That is, it will be buried and receive not comments.

 

[2A_Tom]

It has to go low profile so he can be repentant, acquitted, and hi fived by his celeb and MSMBS buds.

Quietly.

Just wait...and remember this post.

He will claim that the Nigerian brothers are homophobic and attacked him on their own.

It looks like this to some.
