Some Decisions Must Be Made

[AntonToo]

Yeah, and you guys are so tough and scary, whining on the internet. We're all so impressed.

you know, i've given up counting how many times i've been threatened by "the left" when i say things they don't like. now true a lot of it is the usual YOU MORON! type crap cause i just don't agree with them. i also can't count the times i've been "internet warrior" threatened and at that point i just walk away. i know full well in person at most they'd do is give me a strange look.

people are venting. both sides are scared cause one side is destroying america and the other side is out to destroy the first side. now - am i talking 2017 or 2012?

i put more belief that those on the right will carry out what they say cause i don't usually see a gathering of conservatives in black and dime store bandanna's with their leader springing an extra $1 to get the one with the skull on it so they look tougher. i mean seriously, do you think they check their look in the mirror before the "rumble" and go "yea, that looks good!" in reference to their "mask"? i can just see that shit. pick up a toy baseball bat on the way out and you'll show them!

that's the left. i got no fear someone who hides online or in public is going to do much more than talk. well not until yesterday when now shooting people is becoming normal and we actually can debate on here whether or not it was a good thing.

if you put your "causes" down you would understand how bad that is for us as a country. i don't give a flung mouse turd in a hurricane which side you are on - anything other than "holy shit that was bad" is the wrong reaction.

Left-Wing Twitter Erupts With Vile Reactions To Scalise Shooting

go ahead. show me some of the right doing that shit. i looked. all i could find was the left and to be honest, i'm not sure the left i know would claim these assholes either. this alt-left.

but anyone - ANYONE - advocating more violence is the problem. but are you advocating violence if you saying you will "stand your ground" and not put up with that shit, or have you said ENOUGH in the only way you know how?

the left is the one normalizing violence and to date it's all been against the old white dudes who had it coming. looks like it still is, i suppose. i would much rather read someone saying they won't give up that the alt-left is trying to take without a fight than read someone who openly encourages the death of another american.

if you can't see the difference in the two, maybe you should stop and think about it.

I forget, was this protest threatening armed violence in support of the left wing President Obama?
I forget, was this protest threatening armed violence before or after a GOP candidate talked about “2nd Amendment Solutions”
I forget, was this protest threatening armed violence before or after the current President said “If she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks,” Mr. Trump said, as the crowd began to boo. He quickly added: “Although the Second Amendment people — maybe there is, I don’t know.”

Selective memory is strong with these assholes.

The assholes are the ones like you that compare mountains to molehills to further your sick agenda.

ah - there it is.

"selective memory is strong in these assholes" -

i was right. being a dick and also accusing others of things they do each and every post. their own memories justify their actions and the entire "us vs them" is all that drives 'em. they can have fun but i've stopped playing that game.

Trying to exploit this shooting to broad brush the left, while totally ignoring what has been going on the right side is an asshole move.

Reasonable people not entirely consumed by politico opportunism need to reject ridiculous rhetoric coming from BOTH sides.

It's an uncomfortable truth for lefties, not "exploitation". Fact is you malcontents have been beating the hate drums every minute for at least a year now. Of course it will have an effect, that's the whole purpose!

Yep, it is as if hateful Obama crazed rightwing thing never happened. Nope.

Like Giffords wasn't shot, while 6 others killed
Like that black church shooting never was.

Thanks for your dirty 2 cents asshole.

Okay.
Lets go back 27 hours. There is a shooting at the Baseball diamond in virginia. Within seconds of it hitting the wire, the “left” is blamed for the shooting by multiple persons here. I was mentioned personally and was told “no doubt” I”d be partying tonight because of this.

Since as we both know, there are loons on both sides that do crazy assed shit like this, the rhetoric by MULTIPLE persons on the right wasn’t to say “we all have these people in our midsts, lets marginalize the voices of hate within our sides”. It was to attack.

Antonio is simply responding as am I; pointing it out.

fair enough.

except i have also seen both sides come out and say "stop it" myself being one of 'em. coyote did as well and i believe she's on "the other side".

so how about giving credit to people who are trying and stop arguing with those who are continuing the divide on either side?

I would say it as well…but if Sandy Hook didn’t get us to change our opinion of persons with questionable mental stability having personal arsenals…nothing will.

As for Coyote…why this site gives a megaphone to obvious racists and lets comments like “liberals will be partying tonight” stand…only inflame the hatred. Theoretically he could do something about it in 5 seconds. He doesn’t.

I applaud all honest efforts to quell violence. I don’t see a lot of posts on here inciting violence...admittedly What I do is point out those on my own side who are clearly out of bounds on the rhetoric side….

yea, "our side" doesn't like it when you tell them to cut it out it seems.

as for making people stop - that's a hard line to cross. he *could* do something about it but that would likely anger people on both sides at their sudden loss of ability to call other people "asshole" and the like. being a mod / owner of a site like this isn't easy.

Look at Grampa Murked U when he strays off the reservation. The guy is full of crap a lot of the time but he calls it as he see it. Gotta give him credit.

I get it too—about the mods. You always run the risk of the “pornorgraphy” paradox; nobody can define it but you know it when you see it.

I think when you accuse the other side of partying while the victims are still being taken to the hospital—before most had made a single comment on the entire episode….you should get suspended. Is there an argument that it in bad taste?

Why should it? No one wants nuts to have guns,

Strict constitutionalists do. IF you don’t believe me ask them.

You can't see past your asshole from your vantage point. The right didn't create the shit libs did/do over losing an election.

i can see some merit in here but what if *the other side* is encouraging it? a lot of tweets yesterday redefined poor taste to me and that carries over into places like this as people vent in disbelief.
