«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 375 of 375Well, we know now about the shooter.
Inga most disappointed.
In an email exchange between Ramos and several staff members of the Capital Gazette from November 2016, Ramos lashed out at the paper for apparently removing a comment he made from a story they ran about his harassment case.
“You people have no explanation for the removal of my comment?” he wrote. “Even though it appears you have acted with personal spite, ill will, and a desire to see me come to harm? Even though it appears to be a conscious effort to conceal or ignore anything contrary to the words of a vengeful source of highly questionable credibility? Are you guys truly the champions of free speech, accountability, and organizational transparency, or do those things only really matter when they suit your purposes to make people look bad and generate revenue?”
Public record shows that Ramos is not a registered voter.
Once again, the left strikes out.
There's really no way to defend the U.S. destruction of Native Americans.
Sure there is..we were at war with them. They would have gladly destroyed us if they could have.
Oh, didn't see the second instance. That pretty much means it was deliberate at some stage of the process.
@tim -- Thanks for the clarification. Rewatching the video, you're right. The transcription is wrong.
I'm not sure the WaPo gets any political mileage out of that, but it's a dumb fail.
Ironically, it seems the paper has been proven correct about Mr. Ramos' violent nature.
"There's really no way to defend the U.S. destruction of the mainstream media.
Sure there is..we were at war with them. They would have gladly destroyed us if they could have."
FIFY
I guess it wasnt disgusted in Des Moines
Chicago Hotel Blues.
Well I have to go out to Illinois, my north country girl she told me so
She left me cold standing on a road
Down here in Madison
Gone back to the highlands, all sad eyed & slow
I've been sitting here in the middle of the street
Its been a few hours
Near The Wilted Grape Cafe
Where the coffee aint free
And there's nothing to see
Except art show posters hangin listlessly
So maybe its time to go.
Gotta find a ride to Rockford
Thats no easy thing to ask
Its a long way from here to where I'm going
And the raven haired barista,
Well she said shes not up to that task.
I got a friend down in Rockford
Its been awhile since we talked
Or gone for a walk, Or paid for chalk
Or sold watches in hock
But i'm thinking maybe he can lend me his bike
Its a Trask.
Gonna get the biggest hotel room when I get to the city
A Room with a View but without Puccini
Gonna order the biggest meal I can
That sad eyed lady
She hightailed it to the country
But there no reason in this sunny season
To worry about my being
Just another lonely Second City man.
Look at Ramos' photo. He's definitely on Inga's side of the political decide.
Where's our apology?!?
’m not sure the WaPo gets any political mileage out of that, but it's a dumb fail.
They were demeaning Chao who had stood up to anti Trump protesters. That was the mileage.
Sure there is..we were at war with them. They would have gladly destroyed us if they could have.
Why were we at war with them? Because we bought their land from Napoleon without so much as a by your leave?
They would have gladly destroyed us if they could have.
That's not exactly just war theory.
By the time the U.S. Army was fighting the plains Indians -- the occasional battle of soldiers and warriors, the occasional slaughter of women and children, the inexorable herding of people off their land -- there was no equivalence of force.
This was only 50 years after the Indian Removal Act in which the government denied the right of Choktaw and Cherokee to own title to the land they already lived on. This was the pattern, not the exception.
Sometimes all it takes for an unstable person with a grudge to commit violence is a nudge from the people like the President who says the Press is the enemy of the people or from Milo Y. who can’t wait to see vigilantes gun down journalists, or from the many many voices on the right demonizing the Press daily with Trump’s urging.
You people on the right and your relentless attacks on the Press may be what set this guy off, face it. You have expressed outrage over Maxine Waters, what Trump and the rightist voices on your side call for actual violence. Just listen to your pal Peely celebrate this act of violence and he’s calling for more. No outrage for what Peely is saying? Or maybe you agree with him.
This appears to be one case that pissed Ramos off:
http://170.99.108.1/appellate/unreportedopinions/2015/2281s13.pdf
Don't know if there were others. Seems like a very bad, disturbed dude going back a decade.
Of course many people agree with me Inga. Who wouldn't want to see Jim Acosta get a Colombian necktie?
Inga: "You people on the right and your relentless attacks on the Press may be what set this guy off, face it."
Inga simply can't face the facts.
It's what makes her a good lefty foot soldier.
Mindless of course, but that's the defining characteristic of a lefty foot soldier.
Unfortunately for Inga and Pickering and LLR Chuck, there aren't any target graphics on a website for that newspaper so their newest lie will be difficult to continue pushing effectively.
Those people in Maryland lost their lives because some 38 year old "white hispanic" (TM) was angry over his lost lawsuit.
Though those innocent people lost their lives, something more precious to lefties was lost as well: their desired narrative and talking points.
As any leftist can tell you, people are easy to replace, but effective narratives are difficult to come by.
To all the lefties and their LLR allies, my deepest condolences and my thoughts and prayers are with you all tonight.
You people on the right and your relentless attacks on the Press may be what set this guy off, face it.
God ! What horseshit from a bedpan commando.
Go and try to be of some use for the oxygen you consume that better people could use.
Ya know! I think our hostess trolled us.
Who-in-the-Hell would have thought Althouse would ever go to a Trump hotel??
“Of course many people agree with me Inga. Who wouldn't want to see Jim Acosta get a Colombian necktie?”
Yeah, maybe they do agree with you Peely, but they’re too cowardly to openly admit it? I’m sure you can get them to grow a pair, just like you, huh?
Quick note: Inga has yet to apologize to us for her role in the Hodgkinson mass political murder scheme that almost succeeded.
We are waiting Inga.
Inga, perhaps you missed the part that said "Public record shows that Ramos is not a registered voter." He had bees in his bonnet, but personal ones, not political ones. So your entire argument is garbage.
Why don’t you go and have your Depends changed Michael? You’re stinking.
By the time the U.S. Army was fighting the plains Indians -- the occasional battle of soldiers and warriors, the occasional slaughter of women and children, the inexorable herding of people off their land -- there was no equivalence of force.
So there is a moral responsibility to not be better and stronger than your opponent? We treated the Indians far better than the historical norm. Hell technically the Indian nations still exist today...I would have wiped them out myself. The Indians were no more noble than us...look at how they treated each other. We have no national guilt over our conquest. The one true sin we did commit against the Indians was the Trail of Tears...but that was a Democrat so it apparently doesn't count.
“perhaps you missed the part that said "Public record shows that Ramos is not a registered voter."
So what??
Clyde: "Inga, perhaps you missed the part that said "Public record shows that Ramos is not a registered voter."
She didn't miss it.
Our voice-actuated automaton has her talking points and she is sticking to them.
She is desperate for some sort of a "win" out of this week and this is literally her only hope....and now its gone....but she can't let go....for obvious reasons.
Therefore, she will simply continue pretending this is something its not hoping against hope that no one notices she is insane.
"Seems like a very bad, disturbed dude going back a decade."
Yes and thanks for not going insane like so much of the left.
The Jared Loughner case was even worse as even Obama tried to blame Sarah Palin.
Loughner's mother worked for the Democrat Sheriff of Pima County and hid all the complaints about her son's psychosis.
That Sheriff actually began the lies about "bullseyes" on the map. He was defeated in the next election.
Why were we at war with them? Because we bought their land from Napoleon without so much as a by your leave?
We were at war with each other because we both wanted the land. It is a very common tale historically. It's only been about the last 100 years that the idea of taking land by conquest has become immoral...before that it was the expected norm.
"...voices on the right demonizing the Press daily with Trump’s urging."
Even if you chose to wrongly characterize open criticism of the press as demonizing, it remains a protected right to do so. Get over it. Move on. I don't care, do u?

There's an Italian ham, I1MMR, who's every night looking for somebody to talk to around 7026 kHz, around 3 in the morning his time. He's been there every night for years. Morando Mauro. He sent me a card in 2016, a convention that's been dead for 50 years. In Genova.
I think we ought to all chip in to provide grief counseling for our resident lefties in order to assist them in this trying "Lost narrative" time.
We all know how much the left, when they aren't carving up babies for the sale of the parts, craves a "crisis" that is "too good to waste", and this, for one brief shining moment, appeared to be just what the Doctor (Gosnell-like) ordered.
Alas, once again, the fevered dreams of our psycho lefties (often obscured by their tasteful p****-hats) have been dashed upon the rocks at Political Talking Point Shores.
One can only pity them from afar, knowing as we do that there is no known cure. Only the peace of the grave which socialist and leftist governments around the world are always too happy to provide for their masses.
But we don't live in a socialist workers/peoples paradise. We live here, and so the lefties will simply have to rise from bed tomorrow, grudgingly and trudgingly, and toil diligently to create a new and different lie-filled narrative that can rescue them from their current political suicide.
I for one...do not wish them well in that.....
I'm soooo with Tim in Vermont about the Elaine Chao thing. Anybody else (on either side of the equation) would be destroyed.
The last time a media company was hit it was the same thing-- YouTube, and a personal grudge from someone related to them.
If people weren't so quick to want to blame politics, they would see that most of the world isn't motivated by politics, and most awful people aren't motivated to hurt others because of politics.
Trump imploded the Clinton dynasty.
Trump imploded the Bush dynasty.
Trump imploded the MSM.
Trump imploded the "conservative" media.
Trump imploded the GOPe.
Trump has now imploded the democrat party.
I'd call him a stable genius.
I strongly suspect Mr. Peel's purpose here is to cast shade on the blog. To what end is still a question.
I can't help but notice that once again Inga is behind the rest of her lefty and LLR allies who are already abandoning this moronic set of Trump Is Responsible talking points.
#Walkaway
Drago -- if you think she's off her game today wait until the dems fail to prevent Trump's SC second pick before the midterms. They will lose seats overall and anyone remaining in their leadership who's to the right of Comrade Bernie will be unpersoned.

I ignore Peel and Trumpit….they think they're performance art. I suspect that one or both of them are sockpuppets.

@Fabi, not yet. He's made a good start, but there's a lot of manure in those piles (and no, there's no pony).
Thread has veered off to the usual boring back and forth crap, but I'll still weigh in to say, fifty dollar breakfast or no, Althouse missed an opportunity if she went to Chicago and didn't have some real Italian beef (though maybe the anosmia thing or whatever would have spoiled the effect).
--gpm
The left will abandon this shooter quicker than they did those kids in cages at the border.
Prediction: Pretty much a red wave in the Fall. Republican gains in the Senate, retain the House (possibly gain a few seats) and dominate at the state level outside of California. this causes a meltdown in the Democratic Party and a civil war between the Pelosi Dems and the Bernie Dems.
Langford Peel is disgusting, but he is empowered by the fact that all of the shame has gone out of being called a ‘racist’ because now everything is racist. Think of it as kind of a “slut walk.” We have been called racists for disagreeing with Obama’s tired old liberal policies that we rejected when Carter was President. We rejected them when Dukakis ran, we rejected them when Kerry ran, but supposedly, once Obama was in charge, we were supposed to accept them because to not do so was raaacist.
Oh yeah, and the reason we wouldn’t vote for Hillary? You are not going to believe this, it’s misogyny. I was shocked to find out I hated women too, but it’s true.
Trump has now imploded the democrat party.
No, but he’s bifurcated it.
Another devastating gut shot to the leftists haters. They were so hoping to be able to don the dead bodies of journalists. They were finally getting a break. Five dead people they could bash the conservatives with! Their prayers were answered.
Sad trombone.
The shooter is a long haired, Hispanic with a federal job. And he used a shotgun. Can't even rail against assault weapons.
The leftists haven't been this disappointed since the Bernie Bro assassin failed to kill anyone.
Inga is behind the rest of her lefty and LLR allies who are already abandoning this moronic set of Trump Is Responsible talking points.
This has been a despicable exhibit of leftist hysteria, Inga is way beyond the limits of tolerance.
The only excuse I see is ignorance and stupidity.
For what it's worth, I'm glad the shooter was from neither side. Just an angry nut,
He has the look of an antifa. But we can only speculate in one direction - the direction that Milo and Trump are to blame.
Many years ago, I got a phone call out of the blue from a high school acquaintance who I remembered vaguely from back then. We had a few common friends and he rode in my decked out '57 Chevy once or twice, but that's it. I don't remember what he called about (might have been loaning him money or something) but he kept calling and and I just couldn't understand why.
It got so bad that I located his mother in the the phone book and gave her a call. She was NOT surprised to hear from me as I was one of a long line of "old high school friends". Apparently (according to her) he had taken LSD and other drugs and though they had tried everything, he was a hopeless case. (Learning now that most bipolar cases come out in early manhood, I suspect that was a contributing factor)
From what I have found out about this Ramos, the original harassment case was similar. He saw her on Facebook and sent her a friend request. She didn't remember him at all so he sent her his picture and then she realized she had a class or two with him in high school. I imagine she tried to be nice etc., but I am sure things got weird fast. So much so we get the blocking, unfriending etc. But it came to the point where she notified the police and things went from there.
So if anyone is to blame (and there really isn't anyone) it would be Facebook as the nexus point.
Ramos finally snapped when he realized that his attempt at a beard would not transform him from a chinless dork into a double of his idol, Ron Perlman.
A pretty good summary from the LA Times.
Even they know there is no politics here, Just evil.
Trump had better shut up, stop tweeting, and just resign. But Rachael Maddow can keep calling Republicans mass murderers, and her fans can keep shooting up Republican softball games because liberalism is more than just a political creed, it’s the One True Faith.
He has the look of an antifa.
Other than the Amish and Abraham Lincoln, don't trust people with beards but no mustache.

Ramos was pissed off because of fake news about him.
He sued the paper claiming defamation, but it was thrown out.
The article in question is reproduced above. He sounds like a Grade-A nut job.
This idea that we are not allowed to question or despise the one-party hack press is absurd. And if we do, we are promoting violence? All while the left and the leftwing press and actual democrat party officials harass and shoot conservatives?
Sure there is..we were at war with them. They would have gladly destroyed us if they could have.
Paul Johnson makes this point quite cogently in "Birth of the Modern". Thomas Sowell addresses it in "Conquests and Cultures", a brilliant book that explores dispassionately what happens when advanced and civilized cultures/societies encounter each other. This was a worldwide phenomenon in the 17th through the 19th centuries especially, and it played out the same wherever it occurred. Also see "Intertribal Warfare on the Great Plains, which discusses the constant phenomenon of warring Native American nations. The author points out that after by the 1880s through the turn of the century the U.S. Cavalry's main occupation was patrolling the Great Plains in hopes of preventing tribal war parties from raiding their enemies.
The score thus far, and over all of human history:
Stone Age Peoples: Zero
More Technologically and Socially Advanced peoples: Infinity
Rachel Maddow promoted the lie of "hands up don't shoot" which led to mass police shootings.
*memory holed by the left.
"There's really no way to defend the U.S. destruction of Native Americans."
The US did NOT "destroy the native Americans" - if we had there wouldn't have been 120,000 of them in 1900.
Y'know who makes statements like that? Dumbshit Euros and Brits who project their own genocidal imperialism unto the USA. We aren't Krauts - we didn't kill 6 million Jews, or invent Gulags, or whatever.

My purpose here is simple. To defend the white working class with prose as blunt and shocking as possible. To take it even further than the God Emperor can because he is restrained by political necessity.
Simply stated...to state the truth and my beliefs that are what everyone believed in 1960. We have really declined into the abyss since then.
We need to get back to where we were then.
By the mid 1880s, and with some notable exceptions (e.g., Wounded Knee) U.S. Cavalry outposts in what were still the remote regions of the North American interior rarely engaged Indians in combat; instead they played mostly a peacekeeping role, endeavoring to intercept Indian war parties on their way to slaughter a rival village and turn them back or to adjudicate disputes between hostile war parties that were at daggers drawn. These efforts were very ad hoc in nature, and there were countless incidents that are lost to history of Indians fighting Indians in this period, small but ferocious battles fought in the middle of nowhere under the "big sky," and the efforts of the U.S. Cavalry to prevent such outbreaks of violence and low-scale warfare were not always successful, with young Indian men eager and determined to prove their courage and warrior prowess finding ways of avoiding cavalry patrols in order to mount an assault on a hostile village.
It bears mentioning in this regard that the "Age of Empire" in modern times was a global phenomenon, which is to say ALL highly advanced societies -- including China, Japan, and Southeast Asia societies -- where engaged in aggressive imperial/territorial expansion that often resulted in decimation and/or destruction, and sometimes the near or complete annihilation, of the primitive cultures they encountered.
My Facebook feed is littered with reflexive blame for the Annapolis shooting on Trump.
I just shake my head in wonder that people on the left are so delusionally focused on Trump. Wow is he in their heads.
In other news, Hillary is still not President, and she's not picking Supreme Court Justices.
Hebdo, he was certainly in their radar, almost as much as in parkland
“My purpose here is simple. To defend the white working class with prose as blunt and shocking as possible. To take it even further than the God Emperor can because he is restrained by political necessity.”
And I’m sure Trump appreciates all your hard work. Maybe you’ll get to be a reich chancellor one day.
Sorry Langford, I don’t believe Trump is a racist and if I did, I wouldn’t support him.
Look how the press treats Trump.
Trump already made a statement and they are screaming at him and harassing him. Fuck you NBC.
Just fuck you.
Inger - I doubt Trump appreciates it at all.

Now everything is "diverse" or color judgments/discrimination, including racism.

Sarah Palin, Michele Bachman et al are men, don't you know. That said, I have a dream, that one day my children will be judged by the "color" of their skin or diversity class (e.g. race, sex, gender orientation), rather than the content of their character (e.g. principles).
E.g. ask the Hmong and Montagnards and other primitive peoples of SE Asia how they fared at the hands of the expansionist and more highly advanced Bách Việt (Kinh) peoples. It was the same everywhere, and much much worse in Asia: persecution (with occasional slaughter) of primitive/indigenous peoples has continued into the 21st century, continues to this day. See the Burma/Myanamar, where the predominatly ethnic Burman goverment wages unceasing low-grade war against indigenous peoples such as the Karen, Shan, Kachin, etc.

I really hate these asswipes who pretend to defend the white working class. My guess is they are hipster losers trying to paint normal people as racists.
If you knew anything about the working people you'd know blacks, whites, legal hispanics (you have to prove eligible to work before you join a union), gay, lesbian and a few Asians are all in this together. We work together. We live together. We make babies together.
We don't live in a monoculture like the progressives. We all feel under attack. We feel like we are being forced to poverty. Our jobs keep go overseas. Illegals force our wages down. And machines take our jobs.
Soon we'll have to decide to work at the convenience store, the fast food store or just hustle to get by.
It's all bullshit.

Gotta wonder if he was on something..legal or otherwise.
Its an interesting argument about the US wars against the Indians. Its just a part of the puzzle as to why their populations continued to fall so disastrously till the early 20th century.
I don't see that the behavior of the white population had all that much to do with their demographic decline. A lot of this was rather a cultural problem among the Indians, who developed an extremely high mortality (even after the Eurasian diseases had run their course), and also a low fertility rate.
You have cases of indigenous populations after the European "explosion", under colonial control, that had much different demographic fates.
The US Indians actually seem to have suffered from similar factors as the Hawaiians, whose population also collapsed, and in the same way (high mortality, low fertility), but in their case without suffering any significant violence from the interlopers. It also cannot be said that the Hawaiians lost their natural habitat, their countryside emptied out before anyone thought to plant pineapples or sugar on their fallow fields.
Compare to the developed parts of South America, Bolivia say, where the natives were often treated atrociously (as at Potosi), but continued to reproduce and are therefore very numerous today.
This is an interesting question, not well examined.
Well, Inga had a rough day yesterday, but she sure perked up at the news of the shooting. What a wonderful opportunity to blame Trump and Milo for inciting violence! She couldn't wait to come her and rub our noses in it. And so Mrs. Magoo fell on her face and made a total ass of herself once again. (Don't worry, she's impervious to the embarrassment a brighter and more ethical person would feel.)
As it turns out, so sadly for Inga, Ramos is a government employee whose only political interest seems to be environmentalism. Yeah, featherhead, I'm sure he's a big Milo fan. Fundamentally, though he's not a political person at all. This was all about a story the paper printed about him being the stalker of a young woman. which he felt defamed him. His suit was dismissed and he sought revenge.
It's difficult for dullards like Inga, who have been driven utterly insane by politics, to grasp that for many, in fact for millions, politics barely makes a dent in their consciousness. They live, work, love, hate and seek vengeance without political thoughts -either for or against the President - once crossing their minds. Because Trump is living rent-free in Inga's head 24/7 (hell, he's not just living there, he's moved in and built another high-rise), she imagines that everyone else in the country spends their days reacting to everything he says and does. Of course, she wants to believe so because she is itching for a massacre she can blame on right-wingers, but she genuinely doesn't get that for some people - especially deranged killers - the personal is not political.
She's also too dumb to recognize that Trump's criticisms of the press are NOT a call to violence.
"Progressives", in my experience, cannot live except in a monoculture of world-views.
As I said... unstable people with a grudge only need a nudge to set them off.
Occupy Democrats.
Sad.
Hey @gpm, so where should I get Italian beef next time I'm in Chicago. Despite living there for five years and going back to visit from time to time, I've never had it. (I know, weird)
She's also too dumb to recognize that Trump's criticisms of the press are NOT a call to violence.
She's just parroting Joy Behar and the View and anyone in the hack press who hacks it up for their D-party and then pees their pants when the push back comes.
Hey Bill you don't know jack shit about me. I lost my business to illegals. We are not all in this together. That's kumbaya bullshit. Just like Ingas nonsense. It's everyone for themselves. It's all tribal. Same as it ever was. Your tribe is determined by your uniform. That's how the liberals play the game. So that's how we need yo play it.
The President isn't racist. He just has the opinions of a white Guy's from 1960. That's not racist. That's just reality. Peddle your kumbaya bullshit to the liberals.
I ain't buying. Neither are millions of other guys just like me.
This is not a good case as a precipitator for a civil war, as it is not obviously an act of political or cultural "propaganda of the deed".
Its true that an unstable or twisted personality is highly likely to be the initiator of political violence, it is almost always an edge case, but one with an impersonal rather than a personal grudge.
You will all have to wait a bit more.
Wow..some of that document reads similar to Ed Hominem.
“I ain't buying. Neither are millions of other guys just like me.”
All Trump voters too.
Inga said...

That may be true. How do you think Trump and Republicans are portrayed in major media these days? Do you think it could set off a crazy to hurt them?
I saw Judd Apatow tweeting that Trump is kidnapping brown babies. There was a poster demonstrating how to rip out an ICE officer's heart that went around Twitter from Occupy. Republicans are being called Nazis and it's implied that fascism is on the way. Do you think that affects an unstable person?
1) We can't not criticize that which is wrong because it might set off a crazy person
2) This guy had nothing to do with the current political climate
3) Republicans are lucky this guy has a hispanic last name so the GOP doesn't get blamed for setting him off w/immigration policies
4) Everyone needs to look at themselves and the words they say and do better.
peel, by far and away you represent Ann's tribe is its purest iteration. Readers, have you heard about the Amazon portal.

Well, Chicago is a big place. Al's #1 Italian Beef on Taylor Street is often rated the best, but any of the Al's franchises or Portillos are good too. Italian beef sammiches are great, you really can't go wrong.
I would suggest ordering it "wet" and get planty of napkins.
Moby
An insidious and specialized type of left-wing troll who visits blogs and impersonates a conservative for the purpose of either spreading false rumors intended to sow dissension among conservative voters, or who purposely posts inflammatory and offensive comments for the purpose of discrediting the blog in question.
The term is derived from the name of the liberal musician Moby, who famously suggested in February of 2004 that left-wing activists engage in this type of subterfuge:
“For example, you can go on all the pro-life blogs and say you’re an outraged right-wing voter and that you know that Donald Trump drove an ex-girlfriend to an abortion clinic and paid for her to get an abortion.
Then you go to an anti-immigration Web site chat room and ask, ‘What’s all this about Donald Trump proposing amnesty for illegal aliens?’”
The strategy has been frequently attempted on conservative blogs, but has not been nearly as effective as Moby envisioned, since false rumors are easily debunked by fact-checking minions, and cartoonishly extreme commenters often get immediately identified as mobys and banned.
Thanks for calling it to our attention, Chuck.
What you have here, in the actual population, is a "madness of crowds" situation.
There are a few people choosing to manufacture and escalate it for their political benefit, but this also is true of most such cases.
The Hutu were deliberately incited against the Tutsi, for instance, through an organized propaganda campaign.
In the case of the US, as with the Hutu of Rwanda, only one side has the propaganda system to create widespread hysteria.
The way the paper article was written seems a bit unusual.
If the victim feared for her safety enough to ask them to withhold her name, maybe not a good idea to publish it with his spelled out.
The psychiatrist Thomas Szasz wrote "The Myth of Mental Illness: Foundations of a Theory of Personal Conduct" in 1961.
Since that time, mental illness has been viewed much the same as a broken leg.
Free-Ranging insane is what the country wants, and by golly, we won't stand for anything less.
So a few innocent people die. They could have been aborted and never existed anyway, so they got some time on the planet. Maybe enough time to put a camera in their shoe.
The difference today, from 1961, is that weapons of mass destruction can be obtained freely and unlimited in quantity.

As I said... unstable people with a grudge only need a nudge to set them off. "
Steven Scalise knows that already.
“That may be true. How do you think Trump and Republicans are portrayed in major media these days? Do you think it could set off a crazy to hurt them?”
How they’re being “portrayed”? Really, I’m not going to blame the media for reporting accurately. When there have been mistakes the media has actually done a decent job of correcting their reporting. Crazy people don’t need much to set them off, but the press’ job is to report, not hide what the President says. We read it ourselves in tweets, or hear it ourselves in his rallies.
“This guy had nothing to do with the current political climate.”
Very likely true, but he had a huge grudge on the Capital Gazette who are the Press, btw. If he hears Trumps saying the Press is the enemy of the people, he could’ve been nudged just enough to push him over the edge.
“Everyone needs to look at themselves and the words they say and do better.”
Absolutely.
In the US you have an entire cultural industry dedicated to the proposition that white men and boys are dangerous or deficient and must be exterminated. It really does amount to that. There are tremendous resources dedicated to that propaganda line.
It varies in details and intensity in SOME venues, such as schools, but it is in any case ubiquitous. It is quite impossible to miss, unless one has powerful incentives to miss it.
That, escalating over four decades or so, has had many effects.
they’re being “portrayed”? Really, I’m not going to blame the media for reporting accurately.
Ok I pretty much don’t see a reason to try to discuss things with you again You don’t deserve the names you get called here, but I don’t believe you have any good sincere intentions
"I’m not going to blame the media for reporting accurately."
Accurately? Like the BS about Milo somehow being responsible for this shooting? Hell, just the other day you were defending an anti-Trump story as "fake but accurate."
"Hands up don't shoot!" - A lie. You believed it.
The media spoon feeds you shit and you open your mouth like a little baby bird and swallow it.
Glad to know all that was going on while we were paying his salary.
So the perp was apolitical. What was the political flavor of “The Capital Gazette”?

A woman who is "well-known" to the Secret Service and has been arrested at least five times for jumping the White House fence has been arrested again.

Err..statistically.....
" What was the political flavor of “The Capital Gazette”?"
From what I've read, it's your basic small-town paper. Probably leaning liberal, but more concerned with local stories than national politics.
“Ok I pretty much don’t see a reason to try to discuss things with you again You don’t deserve the names you get called here, but I don’t believe you have any good sincere intentions.”
Sorry I’m not going to just buy your “portrayal” of the Press portraying Trump inaccurately. I see and hear for myself what he says. Don’t you? My intentions are as sincere as yours. You engage me in these attempts to get me to see things your way. Reality check, that’s not going to happen. We see things very differently and if that bothers you so be it.
Don't tell Mrs. Magoo she's blind! She insists she sees just fine!
Inga, you should stock up on thorazine.
In November you're going to be taking it by the handful.
The faker troll:
A clever troll, the main aim of the game is to, ironically, act really REALLY stupid. This troll's aim is to argue with normal persons incoherently.
This is a ploy. The troll only needs to spend 10 seconds shitposting while the normal person wastes 10 minutes writing a much more wordy reply.
The troll will reply with a stupid rejoinder making the normal person post as many long replies as possible.
Using the normal person's aversion to bullshit against them and wasting their time...
If they are good, their act will be believable and they probably won't get banned unless the blog hostess figures out what they are doing.
Unless it's the Althouse blog.
@gpm Awesome. Thanks.

Simply stated...to state the truth and my beliefs that are what everyone believed in 1960. We have really declined into the abyss since then.
We need to get back to where we were then.

Inga said Scalise deserved to get shot because he supports the NRA.
Now when some douchebag leftist tries to kill Trump she will say he deserved that too.
Because she is a disgusting human being.
“Inga said Scalise deserved to get shot because he supports the NRA.”
Do you realize you’re lying? Or does that not matter to to, as you’ve convinced yourself that’s it’s true.
Achilles is the type of unstable person I speak of, who could be pushed over the edge with a mere nudge from someone he really respects...like Trump.

Oh it helps a great deal to shine the light on the underbelly of Trumpism. Thank you Langford Peel.
"I strongly suspect Mr. Peel's purpose here is to cast shade on the blog. To what end is still a question.
I agree. I suspect he says things that allow Inga to occasionally sound rational. He's either a friend or relative.
"Oh it helps a great deal to shine the light on the underbelly of Trumpism."
And the baseball field shooter helps a great deal to shine the light on the underbelly of leftism.
If you can put everyone you disagree with in the same basket, Mrs. Magoo, I will do the same to you. All peel has done is type. You cheered for a would-be mass murderer. You were happy about today's murders when you thought you could blame them on Trump and Milo Y.
Compared to you, peel is an angel.

Hi Chuck, where's Craig?
John, are you feeling sad too because you can't blame the murders committed by a government employee on Trump? I know how excited and happy you leftists get when shootings take place and you think you can use them to your political advantage. Ah, shucks, not this time, Johnny boy!
It's been a real tough week for you leftists, I know. How about this:
"President Trump's approval rating has ticked up to 47 percent in the new Harvard CAPS/Harris poll released exclusively to The Hill, a 2 point hike from last month.
Trump's approval rating was lifted in part by a 10 point climb among Hispanic voters.
Imagine that! The "concentration camp" horseshit isn't working for you, Murders you could exploit politically would have helped but alas.....you're reduced to pathetically crabbing at Althouse for staying at a Trump hotel.

"I lost my business to illegals"
Then your beef is with illegals, not with non-white American citizens. One of the biggest Trump supporters I know is a man who came here from Mexico legally and became a citizen. He did it the right way and he resents those who break the law. As that poll I mentioned shows, Trump's numbers are increasing among Hispanics, who are the ones who have to live with MS13, child-trafficking, and competing with illegals for jobs. Losing a chuck of the Hispanic and black vote would be devastating to the Democrats, which is why they are beating the race drum so hard. You think you're standing up for whites? You're helping the Democrats.

"Twenty months ago, Democrats were poised to reclaim the presidency and maybe the Senate. Donald Trump was supposedly going to damage the GOP brand for years to come. It threatened to be a bloodbath.
Today, the bloodbath is squarely on the Democratic side of the aisle. And it's getting worse..." -- Aaron Blake, WaPo

Yes, Harlan Ellison was a giant in science fiction. This is a loss. His real strength was the short fiction he did- in that he had few equals in the field.
I had stopped reading much science fiction after my early 30s, but will probably look into reading anything Ellison wrote in the last 20 years.
Really, I’m not going to blame the media for reporting accurately.
One of the funniest yet sad lines I’ve read in a long time. The funny part is the contrast with an obvious reality. The sad part is that I have no doubt that it is sincere and heartfelt.

You're in a hole lady, quit digging.

You mean nudges like "punch back twice as hard,""get in their face,""we bring a gun?"

Sure there is..we were at war with them. They would have gladly destroyed us if they "could have.
Why were we at war with them? Because we bought their land from Napoleon without so much as a by your leave?"
Because almost without exception the native american tribes were warlike.
Are we still guessing the three disgusting things? How about: Ann went to Chicago to interview for a position with the Trump administration, and while there is getting cosmetic surgery (something simple, like Botox) and pondering a trial separation from Meade. One of those things would make me very sad, one would scare me, and to one I'm entirely indifferent - but I can see other people being disgusted.

I am not saying that we need to live our life in guilt. Expiation isn't possible, and unlike our communist friends, we have put genocide in our past. History is what it is. It's just that we shouldn't be expressing wonderment that the plains Indians didn't like us very much, is all.
Canada is practically empty but the indigenous people up there have not increased in number even in parts in the far north where there is no farming to displace the hunting culture. The tribes in the US are decreasing in absolute numbers due to contraception and abortion even though it's somewhat of a fashion to seek to become registered as a tribe member.
Ireland at home never recovered demographically from the Potato famine but the Irish abroad are about five times as numerous as they were in Ireland just before the famine.
Demographic decline is the root of Europe's migrant problem but what is at the root of Europe's demographic decline? Is it like the reasons for with the tribal decline in North America? whatever they are.

Strangely many people like Inga who pretend to be against this actually support it by (for example) insisting Republicans want to create the Handmaid's Tale in America and that any opposition to leftism is driven by racism.
