1. Nailed it David

Rec

[jimfields33]

9. He left out the Texas massacre.

That is the most current.

[malaise]

12. Not sure he was a white supremacist

or a Slobby supporter

[jimfields33]

13. We should probably find out.

It’s important to know trends.

[wnylib]

26. The Buffalo killer was a White supremacist and

bragged about it online and in person.

[jimfields33]

27. I didn't know that was Texas which is the discussion.

[wnylib]

28. The OP is about White supremacists

who commit mass murders.

A post ahead of mine said that Hogg forgot to mention the massacre in Uvalde and the response was that we don't know that the Texas shootings were racist. (But we do know. They weren't.)

I simply pointed out that, although the Texas shooting was not racism, Buffalo, just a week and a half earlier than Texas, was.

[Rstrstx]

39. The El Paso Walmart shooter was

The Uvalde one apparently not

[wnylib]

42. Yup.

[Celerity]

41. because the Hogg tweet's quote was from January 6th, 2021

2. kicking... nt

[Wounded Bear]

3. Indeed! nt

[brush]

4. Nailed it. He'll be running for office soon.

[uponit7771]

5. K&R, imagine GZP reaction if ***ALL*** These shooters were Muslim or Native American

[Ohio Joe]

6. K & R - nt

[in2herbs]

7. So why did he tweet in support of the bipartisan's cte for gun control when

it is all about mental health and not terrorism -- or even guns for that matter?

Don't get me wrong. I like Hogg.

[Wild blueberry]

11. Because it's a start

Because it's going to take baby steps at first. Then it will snowball, as younger votes VOTE.

[onecaliberal]

21. THIS. We can't turn anything down that is helpful.

[peggysue2]

8. Yes, Yes, Yes and Yes!

Call it for what it is: domestic terrorism, no different in intent that the Oklahoma City bombing back in 1995. We were shocked then by the hate, the willingness to inflict great bodily harm to innocents by Timothy McVeigh and his group of white supremacists.

We all need to resurrect those feelings of anger and disgust for those who would follow in McVeigh's footsteps.

Terrorism. Call it for what it is.

[SheltieLover]

10. Absofuckingloutely!

Well said!

[Trueblue Texan]

14. Totally agree!

The real mental health issue behind all these violent attacks is the extreme denial of the GQP.

[KS Toronado]

15. Be a good question for our R coworkers, relatives, neighbors, etc

Is it simply coincidence that most mass shooters are tRump supporters?

[Upthevibe]

16. Kick. N/T

[certainot]

17. in florida 20 rw nationalist radio stations depend on 5 fla universities. u of Fla supports 10

republican white nationalist supporters can't win elections without rw radio. americans let republicans (and putin) use a few hundred racist liars on 1500 coordinated radio stations to crank up the racism and bigotry constantly, all over the country. and it's all FREE for them paid for by advertisers and endorsed by universities and pro sports teams. it's fucking ridiculous.

this is the parkland state, home of desantis:

20. $1,000,000 post! Great link.

[Initech]

18. Trump attracts a certain type!

[DemUnleashed]

19. Perfect!

Perfect David...except please preface the word "terrorism" with the word "domestic!"

[sop]

44. Many in this country seem to think "domestic terrorism" isn't as evil as just plain "terrorism."

For these people "terrorists" are swarthy men with funny names from middle eastern countries, "domestic terrorists" are true patriots fighting for freedom, to "make America great again." I imagine Hogg wants to erase that distinction.

[IronLionZion]

22. Whites don't want to be profiled like brown people

so maybe more whites should support gun restrictions. We don't know who is going to shoot up a school until it's too late.

If airline transportation has to suck for brown people "because of security", then buying guns should be a bit more restrictive "because of security".

If any DUers feel uncomfortable with this, that's the point.

[relayerbob]

23. Exactly. And Erik Greitens ad today is another example of it

Terrorists. 100%

This needs to be stopped. Now.

[yardwork]

24. Why won't the media acknowledge this?

[paulkienitz]

25. mentally ill people are not one hundredth as dangerous as people with hate ideologies

[Sogo]

29. I kinda figure that all three are one and the same....

[Cha]

30. Rt💕🤷‍♂️TY & David Hogg!

31. Thank You.

34. It can be both, or neither, but where it is should be regarded as both.

Btw, definitions of domestic terrorism vary, including from state to state. Here's the federal definition. It differentiates terrorist acts from other violent actions by specific intent of the act. Killing people ONLY to indulge spite wouldn't be classified as terrorism under federal law, but killing to persuade survivors to close their church or encourage others to kill probably would be.

Intimidate. Coerce. Influence policy. Affect conduct.

ACLU: Section 802 of the USA PATRIOT Act (Pub. L. No. 107-52) expanded the definition of terrorism to cover ""domestic,"" as opposed to international, terrorism.

A person engages in domestic terrorism if they do an act "dangerous to human life" that is a violation of the criminal laws of a state or the United States, if the act appears to be intended to: (i) intimidate or coerce a civilian population; (ii) influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or (iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination or kidnapping. Additionally, the acts have to occur primarily within the territorial jurisdiction of the United States and if they do not, may be regarded as international terrorism.

[calimary]

35. Filed under "Things that Need to Be Said"

YES. It's TERRORISM. Of the worst home-grown kind.

White Nationalist trump-supporting DOMESTIC TERRORISM.

Or hell, just leave the "DOMESTIC" part out.

White Nationalist trump-supporting TERRORISM.

Either one works and is totally valid.

[Mr. Ected]

36. And by tethering themselves to a national political party

The white nationalist terrorists absolve themselves of any culpability by deeming all accusations as political.

Our media is deathly afraid to take a side in a political debate.

[Blue Owl]

37. God damn that fat fucking fuck

[cloudboy07]

38. I wish David would crank up the youth to vote Independent & dem's !

that would put the fear in GQP real quick! they scam'd trump at 3 of his little gathering's ! lmao !
