There's nothing I look forward to more than Bambu's "analysis" of mass shootings.

31 mass shootings in America so far this year.
There are measures that can be taken to reduce the carnage...people are having their loved ones slaughtered.

Mrs bambu shopped at Walmart when she was in America recently.
Real people...they must not be allowed to become just statistics.

You are not only misgynistic, bigoted, and violent, but you also cannot count.

251 mass shootings this year.

No 1 radio host said 31...but he's been sick in hospital, nearly died from the flu.
Maybe only 31 turned up in downunder media, or he missed them.
Anyway, 31 are 31 too many.

Yet another example of why you should stop trusting #1 radio host. Yet another area in which he is just flat wrong.

http://www.msn.com/en-au/news/world/175-people-killed-worldwide-in-last-eight-years-in-white-nationalist-linked-attacks/ar-AAFlMTn?li=AAgfYrC&OCID=AVRES000

Several of these deadly attacks have also been closely linked to mainstream political debates over refugees and immigration.

#####

If the borders had been sealed decades ago, today there'd be an orderly immigration system and none of the detention centres/caravans drama.
There'd be no massive immigration, no illegal immigrants pouring in over porous borders, no sanctuary cities, no anchor baby rackets, no takeovers...the federal govt would be deciding who comes to America and under what terms they come.

Angry White males snapping?
Why is anyone surprised?

"Discrimination of White males will soon be encouraged in a bid to boost the status of women and cultural and religious monorities"  [Australia, 2008]
Laws were passed in the parliament.

Much the same in America [without the laws]...it seems.

Persecuted at every turn, society's most hated people, it was only a matter of time before White males snapped....and all these massacres happened.

You are just dumber than a fucking speed bump.   Take your fantasy persecution lament and stick it where the moon don't shine.

Your own people told you at Charlottesville.
 Guys marching waving flaming torches shouting "we will not be replaced" or whatever it was.
The only fantasy going on is the one where anti-White activists, especially haters of White males,.. who want White males run out of the world as fast as possible, run out of the workforce as fast as possible, ...think their words and actions don't/won't have consequences.

"your own people"

LMAO!

Because limiting his right to purchase such a magazine would start us down the road to complete confiscation.

Freedom!

I admireded your biting irony yesterday.   And that b/w thought process is behind a lot of this insanity.   I think it would be amusing to apply the "complete confiscation" scenario to other things the government regulates.   See if that matches reality.  "The government came and took our leaded paint...."

But, but, but, the Constitution protects leaded paint!  Our founders understood that leaded paint was harmless and that our sacred wood structures and furnishings would rot into splinters without it!

Meanwhile, 8chan loses its cyber security support...

Quote
NEW YORK (AP) — An online message board accused of hosting extremist content was temporarily inaccessible Monday after its cybersecurity provider cut off support for a “cesspool of hate” following mass shootings in Texas and Ohio.

8chan returned an error message after midnight California time, when Cloudflare Inc. said its support would end. There was no immediate explanation, but lack of security support would leave the site open to online attacks that might block access....

Now, now, he's just trying to rescue white men from imminent extinction.  Oz lost the moa, the Bramble Cay rat and the Tasmanian emu.  It has to stop!

I appreciate the "president's" statement stating the obvious, that these attacks are white supremacist domestic terror, and that federal agencies should be given all the resources they need to combat it.  Whoever wrote this speech and then convinced the "president" to deliver it somewhere between his taking wedding selfies and golfing at his club this weekend did a nice job.

But his comments regarding the "dark recesses of the internet" inspiring this hate are so laughably off-base when anyone watching Fox News or listening to mainstream Republican politicians including this very "President" get all the inspiration they need.  Thousands of Facebook ads from Trump use the word "invasion" to describe immigration on the southern border.  The shooter quoted Trump and Fox News in his manifesto!

Trump's entire reelection strategy is based around divisive fear mongering and racism deployed to rev up his base.  Maybe he will now abandon this strategy after he now acknowledges how this rhetoric (from others) endangers people's lives. But there isn't anything in a speech that also pointed the finger at video games that makes us think that he will.

After a morning tweet that talked about stronger gun laws (absurdly paired with immigration laws, but anyway...) it would seem that any possible mention of that was deleted from this mornong’s speech. Maybe someone reminded the “presidents” people that it is Moscow Mitch that is blocking progress on that front after the House passed background check measures as soon as Democrats took it over.

The whole video games and mental health thing is such a joke. An old and stale one after the GOP has delivered it so many times.

Yeah. That was a good tweet. “Soft-pedal my racism or my followers will keep killing people.”

Very Presidential.

Because we were making oh so much headway under Obama, including when we had the supermajority in the Senate.
