Just interesting to see the build-up of speculation, if not outright hope that it was crazy rightwingers wot dun it. Seedy was near orgasmic once he thought he had connected all the pieces. Lolz CRIME EXPERT

This seems to be an interesting constant among the right-wingers:  that all speculation that this wasn't an Islamist attack was part of some conspiracy to pin the attack on right wingers.  It's a fascinating phenomenon.

To be painfully pedantic, any Islamist attack is, by definition, an attack by right-wingers.

So where would you put Moonies, Hindus, scientologists and Anglicans on that spectrum of yours?

It depends on whether they're religious fundamentalists.  :P

I said nothing of a conspiracy.

Capitalists. :yeah:

It is remarkable how quick conservatives have gone from "how dare you politicize this", to "how dare you say this isn't politics!".
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Who's doing that?

Dead man and dead woman, lots of guns, lots of tactical gear with rumors of pipe bombs.  Breaching an address now with a po-po RV. 

I'm calling workplace violence, crazy white people-style, let's McVeigh this shit up.  Gang-related, a distant 2nd.   



Don't quit your day job.

"Workplace violence, crazy white people-style" = workplace violence in the style of crazy white people, and is therefore not restricted solely to white people. 

I'm still waiting for the big Islamofesto explaining how all this was to smite the infidels by the will of Allah, though.  I know you prefer your favorite minorities to play strictly to type and not improvise, but so far this one hasn't kept the crayons inside the lines.

About it being white people and not Islamists.  And don't hide behind that "-style" thing.  That's more pathetic than the Ravens defense this year.

I suppose cultural appropriation can cloud these things.  Because when I hear "tactical gear" early in reports about a mass shooting, I certainly think Cambodians.


LOL, and Ravens defense.  Bengals start stringing together a decent season together with a Planned Parenthood shooting, and you're friskier than your wedding night, derbabyfucker.

Thanks for playing.

:lol:  Anyway if there's anyone giddy about a Planned Parenthood shooting, it's you.
