So, do Rand Paul's "duel" comments constitute stochastic terrorism?

[Scuba]

Stochastic Terrorism: 1. The use of mass communication to incite random actors to carry out violent or terrorist acts that are statistically predictable but individually unpredictable. 2. Remote-control murder by lone wolf.

Paul's idiotic comment: "And like I say, if, you know, if dueling were legal in Kentucky, if they keep it up, you know, it would be a duel challenge."

1. he probably saw it in a movie

[Paladin]

2. Rand Paul would have a problem with a knowledgeable word like "stochastic"

His choice of weapons in a duel with you might be a dictionary.....

[Scuba]

3. He would lose.

[Paladin]

9. I still can't believe that people trusted their EYES to that crazy fuck. (nt)

[Scuba]

12. Well, he is "board certified".

4. Rand would probably shoot himself in the balls if he was to attempt a duel.

He doesn't strike me as the most coordinated, athletic or intellectual type of guy.
Probably better not to let him handle a loaded weapon of any kind.

[cali]

5. No, but they sure do make him look like a "tetchy idiot"

[unblock]

6. he's very clearly talking about himself dueling were it an option. not inciting anyone else.

it's a horrible statement for several reasons, and this post lets him get off easy.

ok, he's not inciting others, but he's still far worse than a mere idiot!

[giftedgirl77]

7. He had to throw out a duel because he knew Maddow

would kick his ass in a debate.

[Scuba]

8. Or a fist fight.

[giftedgirl77]

13. Of course but a debate would be more fun to watch.

Rand would be reduced to nuh uhs & blubbering in a matter of seconds.

[pscot]

10. Rand Paul is not "just" a moron

[rustydog]

11. Rank Paul has his and wants to prevent others from "getting theirs"

He is anti drone killing unless the bad guy really did it, then kill the fucker...He formed his own accreditation group so he could remain a doctor, apparently....he wants to make the rules and not abide by them at the same time.
A snide, spoiled kid whose daddy should have whooped his ass very early on.

[Blue_Tires]

14. LOL..."If dueling were legal?"

Zell Miller wants his 2004 RNC speech back...

[Prism]

15. He's the kind of guy who reads Andrew Jackson wistfully

Oh, the good old days, when you could just shoot your political opponents for completely idiotic reasons.

[rustydog]

16. She is a Rhodes scholar who wanted to be a pro basketball player but injury prevented that

He has this snide, spoiled. "I got mine fuck you" punk doesn't hole a candle to.
She has him scholastically and physically.
So his brave confrontation....firearms! where you don't have close contact!

I can picture this spoiled daddy's boy in the classic back to back duel: take 10 steps turn and fire. He'd take one step, turn and shoot her in the back and scream she deserved it!

[magical thyme]

17. he's just such an anachronism....

Couldn't come up with, "Them's fightin' words!"

[Drale]

18. No because

if it came right down to it and it was Rachael vs Rand in a dual, Rand would shit his pants and run away before any weapons were even shown.

[2naSalit]

19. He's obviously

a waste of good air that could be put to better use by endangered species.
