DEATH AT WISCONSIN PARADE .... i blame TRUMP for the toxic atmosphere in todays world.

Using cars for murder i believe started in Charlotesville. Trump said there were GOOD PEOPLE on both sides. the side of HATE, BIGOTRY AND RACISM and marching in peace. Now asshole 17 year olds haul assault weapons into marches and slaughter people and people drive as fast as they can into crowds of people to murder murder murder.

Their GOD himself boasted even if he shot someone in the middle of a crowded street they would love him.

“I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose voters,” said DONALD RUMP

On the evening of 14 July 2016, a 19-tonne cargo truck was deliberately driven into crowds of people celebrating Bastille Day on the Promenade des Anglais in Nice, France, resulting in the deaths of 86 people and the injury of 458 others.[4] The driver was Mohamed Lahouaiej-Bouhlel, a Tunisian living in France.[5][6] The attack ended following an exchange of gunfire, during which Lahouaiej-Bouhlel was shot and killed by police.

But TFG and the Republicans legitimized (and, in some states, legalized it) it as a weapon to deal with protestors that you disagree with.

I haven't heard yet if there was any motive or if the driver was high and/or drunk. I hope they catch and throw the book at 'em.

Fact is, most mass killing events in this country lack an overt political agenda.

There are a few exceptions: Charleston Church, EL Paso Walmart, Tree of Life, etc.

But on the whole, many of them are just head scratchers by disturbed individuals: Las Vegas music festival, Sandy Hook, Parkland, etc.

And sometimes there’s no actual intent at all. For example, a few months back a car ran into people watching a Pride parade in Wilton Manors, Florida, which is a town with a heavy gay population.

The initial thought was this might have been a hate crime, but it turned out it was just someone who legitimately lost control of his car at the worst possible time.

We all agree. Donald Trump is a dickhead. But maybe we should wait until we have some official information before we start throwing rocks.
The "toxic atmosphere" is sustained in part by this very sort of thing right here.
