Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

What the hell does this dumbass expect? Not only has he loosened laws gun laws in the state making crimes like this easier to commit, but he's shown nothing but antagonism towards the black community. He gerrymandered half the black state congress house seats out of existence, he constantly uses CRT and "wokeism" as racist dog whistles, he basically tried to strip black history out of education (or whitewashed it by claiming it was actually a good thing for the victims), he recently removed a black prosecutor for "failing to do her job" (even though he has been MIA in Florida for months) and he appoints literal KKK members to positions of power in the state.
I'm amazed he had the gall to even show up.
Are they really dogwhistles when it's so obvious? Pretty much air raid sirens at this point.
He almost certainly expected this and it's almost certainly a part of a play. It's really obvious to anyone that this would happen. I'd bet he now goes around and talks about how uncivilized and hostile the people were and how he's the victim of the woke mob, or whatever. I don't think he's stupid, and that's the most dangerous part.
