I'm in a gun club and the WhatsApp chat had, surprise surprise, a rich, fashy vet immediately saying that the attempt meant that all supporters of the Democrats were now "enemy combatants" and should be treated like enemy combatants were back when "they" were deployed. Fucking psychotic, brownshirt ass. I know this makes me sound like him, but people like him have one solution and it's measured in six foot increments of rope.
Make sure he knows that the shooter was a registered Republican and member of a gun club.
I'm absolutely positive that he thinks this was actually a Democratic sympathizer. These people's brains are so full of conspiracy theories it's ridiculous. We're talking about the same people who think that there's a global movement to groom minors just because some people prefer bussy and would rather present in a different way than they would. These people are so far gone.
No need. There are perfectly fine criminal laws in place. If only they were executed equally, this problem would be a lot smaller in scope.
That's very true. The real solution here is implementing the rule of law instead of selective nonsense that protects right wing vigilantism.
