The Ultimate Winner
Patrick Crusius didn't have a "warped" sense of reality. He hated immigrants and thought they were an invasion destructive to this country. Unless you want to label half the posters here "warped," he knew exactly what he was up to and his "opinon" is not that far from what many others think.I was watching Fox yesterday after his 'manifesto' was announced. In the forty-five minutes or so after I switched channels, Fox pundits warned of the danger of video games, but hardly mentioned the weapon and its capabilities.
If the Right Wing wants to play that cultural game I say being it on!
Exhibit A: No one ever jacked a liquor store with an Xbox.
Exhibit B: Video games are a world wide media outlet that dominates the film industry. Are other mass shootings around the world the fault of video games?
Other mass shootings around the world are seen by us as acts of terrorism. Because that's exactly what they are. When people from the Middle East use mass murder to advance their politics, we call it Islamic terrorism.
How can we not see that these mass shootings are politically motivated? White Nationalism has been given a winking eye by this presidency. Are we going to call mass shootings with political motives terrorism?
I agree with you on the danger of video games not being the real issue. For those with mental issues, I could see it, however 99% of Americans can play the games and not go on a shooting spree.
I can can agree on the shootings being an act of terrorism because they are. Many act of terror all over the world, some groups claim responsibility, those are political.
The terrorist acts in the mass killing in the United States are not political and are not tied to any organization or organizations. The mass shooters in the United States seem to have a warped sense of reality and mental disorders.
How many of those on this board taken a ton of guns and ammunition and went out and went on a mass killing spree. I have never seen an opinion kill someone. I will admit I don't get hating other people to the point of killing anyone, so it is beyond my comprehension.
If youāve ānever seen an opinion kill somebodyā you havenāt been paying attention. When anti-abortionists started labelling abortion providers as āmurderersā, the rabid among them started shooting abortion providers and bombing abortion clinics. This is the history of the so-called āright to lifeā movement. They justified the killings by saying they were saving hundreds of babies from being aborted.
Just like Trump justifies abusing refugees as preventing American deaths from criminal illegals.
The opinion killed no one, it is an opinion. I hate pedophiles, I think they deserve the death penalty, however it is my opinion and no one has died from it. The members on this board that are racists have an opinion, their opinion has not hurt a soul. People that take action, they are the ones to blame.
