This is why we cannot have nice things. Thanks, NRA, for all you do, eh?

None of those men should have firearms, I guarantee.

(65,042 posts)They know come the civil war they crave, the strategic thinkers will all be on the other side, don't they?
Well, probably not.

(146,311 posts)They want very badly to be scary. They want you to be scared of them, but they really, really want people of color to be scared of them. They wear camo because they think it's all military and stuff, and really scary to people. They carry guns because guns are scary. They wear all sorts of military-looking gear for the same reason.
The reality is that it's those assholes who are scared. They're scared of you and me and especially scared of people of color. They're scared to death, and scared people with guns are very, very dangerous.

(17,441 posts)Then I peer at the photos looking at the faces hoping to find I know of one that has not been outed, but most are not local.
They came and tried to intimidate and failed miserably. They provided the situation that killed a former coworker and ham radio friend's granddaughter. The next time they came, they came in secret and paraded their torches once again. In less than an hour they ran as fast as they could back to their buses as the town came out to confront them. Some fine people, my ass.

(20,577 posts)I remember a fellow took his daughter shopping in our local Penney's with an assault type rifle hung over his shoulder. I imagine he thought he looked tough but he actually looked pathetic and frightened.

(145,259 posts)I know that they are a significant portion of trump's base and so trump will not take any actions against these groups
MineralMan
(146,311 posts)However, that should not stop us from fighting them, in whatever way we can.

(17,984 posts)I think it is a very appropriate name. tRump should be branded as a supporter of terrorism, and these assholes' race/holy war should be branded with the same term used by Islamic terrorists. IT'S THE SAME THING!
