The Magic Murder Kingdom

He's not happy that it happened, for fuck's sake.   Somebody praised him.  He said essentially "thanks, but that's not what matters..." 

Absolutely nothing wrong with that.  At all. 

When I was right about Chizik (before I was wrong) and ya'll came around, I'm sure I said "thanks, but what are we gonna do about it?" 

Same thing. 

 

That was kind of what I got from it. A "yeah yeah thanks for the kind words man but this is a tragedy and what I've been trying to tell people about"

Sad part is that most are only reporting the "Thanks for the congrats" and not the full quote.

And Morons are going with it!

Context and quote mining can be everything in big media. But I've been told it means nothing.

Was listening to Mike & Mike this morning and Greenberg said something that hit home with me.  Paraphrasing..he said he hopes a day will come where we're actually shocked again by this kind of thing.

He's right.  It seems that every 3-4 months we get some tragedy like Orlando. Whether it's 2 teenagers trying to blow everyone away at their High School or some guy taking a gun to an elementary school and executing kids or the San Bernadino shootings or Paris or a black Carolina church or a movie theater...and now Orlando....

You see this unthinkable, senseless tragedy occur and really just chalk up another one and wonder when and where the next one will be.

I would say the odds are very high it will be in a "Gun free zone" again. They seem to work so well.

With a 90% chance that it is committed by a follower of one particular religion which, for some strange and inexplicable reason, is considered a sacred cow by our clueless and inept politicians.

Those Christians are bad!!!

Damn holy rolling, red state dwelling, confederate flag waving Christians.

You forgot Bible thumping and gun toting.

That's implied by the red state dwelling adjective.

THIS is what's wrong with this country:

"It's a hate crime if you don't say the victims are gay!!" 

Oh fuck you, asshole. 

Everybody wants to coopt events to advance their own personal agendas. 

Fifty PEOPLE are dead.  Classifying them is bullshit.

This motherfucker doesn't know the meaning of the words "hate crime". Maybe his soft privileged ass should spend some time in the Middle East. 

[Snaggletiger]

Holy shit, how amazingly unnecessary and misguided that piece was.  Well, to be fair, I shouldn't judge too harshly because I couldn't get past the first 3 paragraphs before face palming and clicking off it. 

[WiregrassTiger]

What a fucking dweeb Hammontree or whatever his name is. I'm sure he will likely hold one in his mouth until the swelling goes down and that's his biz. But he's def trying to promote some agenda with this piece of shit article.

I do not care if the victims were gay, black, nazi, republican or socialist. Why in the fuck should that matter to anyone who really cares about humanity and justice?

This guy is a shitty writer and should stick to blogs.

Well, he writes for al.com so.......

I saw a post yesterday on the facebook taking a jab at the fact that nobody is changing their profile picture to the American flag.  Instead we are worried about what group the victims were part of...it's sad.

The coward went to the gun shop 3 times shortly before the massacre.  He bought a Sig Sauer .223 Assault Rifle and a Glock 17.  After reading up on that assault rifle, I can easily see how dozens were killed pretty quick.  Question for the gun enthusiasts:

I'm a gun owner myself.  Used to do a lot of hunting years ago and owned everything from a .22 to a 7 mm.  I fully believe in our right to bear arms...bear arms sounds like we're going to war....own guns.  And I also fully believe that if guns were taken away, guys like this would simply do what his cowardly brethren (And let's not forget that we have our own collection of cooks here in America) in the Middle East do on a daily basis.  Fill a car with explosives and blow it up in a crowded place.  Or strap them to his own body and press the button and look for his 72 virgins.

But, I'm honestly starting to question the reason that weapons like this are readily available to the public.  Especially someone that's been under FBI investigation not once, but twice.  I understand owning guns for hunting, skeet shooting, recreational shooting and obviously, protection.  But what's the purpose of the average citizen owning assault rifles?  Is it just a rush to shoot them?  Schoolify me on the subject.

Because your right to bear arms is to protect the citizens from a tyrannical government.  If and when the government decides to trash the constitution and overthrow our republic, you will be glad that you had access to these types of weapons.

You can buy a Glock that holds 15 rounds.  You can kill just as many people with two of those as you can with a 30 round semi automatic rifle.  It is not the gun that kills people.

BTW, I don't own a single gun.  Just believe in everyone's rights to do so.

Because the question becomes "who gets to say".

Do you want Hillary's wrinkled whore ass deciding which weapons are fine and which aren't?  Who then?  And if that person can decide which guns, can't they also decide which cars it's ok to drive? Which stores are ok to shop? Which church you need to attend?

Just a door that shouldn't be opened. 

Government?  Get the fuck out. 

Pave my roads, maintain the military, enforce laws designed to keep us from killing, raping and stealing, make sure we have fire and police departments.  Otherwise? Go home.
