I'm sure Matt Gaetz will give him a job once he's fully exonerated.

"It was self-defense." - Local cops
Krasnov will pardon the POS neo-Nazi loser.
Is he short?
He looks rather short.
I wonder if that got to him. Seems to be a weirdly touchy thing to some.
Right wing, insecure short dudes who don't know how to talk to girls are some of the absolute worst people on the planet.
Meanwhile I knew a guy around the size of Warwick Davis who had to stay in a wheelchair, or at least used a cane and other mobility aids when he was at home. Outgoing, great sense of humor. Threw great parties. Got cute goth babes like, every other week. Just the nicest dude you ever met.
The difference is accepting who and what you are and learning to love it and trying to find something worth enjoying in life.
Self love leads to love of others.
Wanting it bad is also so unattractive. My heart is happier hearing about a Warwick Davis dude fucking goth cuties.
Just another antisocial, fantasist incel loser who gravitated towards extremism. This asshole can now enjoy prison for the rest of his life.
Or a pardon. Conservatives get those.
Maybe a cabinet position. I hear Secretary of Defense might be open soon.
Great idea!
Some conservatives get those.
Mass shooters don't tend to get that treatment.
It's the bridge too far scenario. If this little shit head had joined the police department and then shot a bunch of people, the right would cheer, because that's how things work in their mind.
But becoming a rouge element and shooting random people... No that's just murder.
I'm sure there's a better way to phrase it, but I'm at the tail.end of a nasty cold and can't think straight.
His dick is, for sure.
This one of the home grown terrorists I hear about? Or does this not qualify?
/s just in case
He doesn’t qualify, he is one of the good ones.
I notice they didn’t charge him with terrorism and the death penalty.
Because he didn't hit a Tesla.
Or a CEO
It's always the ones you most suspect.
When news of the shooting broke I was with my dad who said "the shooter was probably radical Democrat since they are the violent ones". FoxRot is real and dangerous.
Back in the old days of Fark, I remember there used to be a flowchart of people's reactions to mass shootings:
- Mass shooting happens
- initial reaction: guy is a terrorist Muslim and we need to bomb some country in the middle east.
- news shows it's a white guy
- "Oh my...how sad. He must have been really struggling."
I feel like the right has replaced the second step with whatever out group they are trying to target.
Following the Oklahoma City Bombing, EVERYBODY jumped on the Muslim Terrorist bandwagon, but it didn't sit right with me. Why would a Muslim bomb a building in OKC? Most Muslims wouldnt even know what Oklahoma is. Why wouldnt they pick a more iconic target? It's all about making a statement, after all. It just smelled like a homegrown terrorist to me, and those around me derided me for being a "Muslim-lover."
Then it turned out to be a standard issue American white guy, with blurry motivations beyond being generally pissy about the government for some incomprehensible reason.
Critical Thinking Skills are the most important skills you can learn in life. They keep you from being stupid and falling for propaganda.

He had a copy of The Turner Diaries and connection to a cult compound called Elohim City which is operating to this day in Oklahoma. He clearly viewed himself as part of some sort of Aryan resistance movement. (Don’t forget the involvement of Nichols - who got the death penalty as well - and the Fourier couple, who our tax dollars put into witness protection to insure that no one would face any consequences.)
There’s more than a few in OKCPD who were sympathetic to his cause. Unfortunately, Terrence Yeakey was so disturbed by whatever was on the missing VHS tape that he slit his wrists and shot himself from behind…
He was also specifically pissed about Waco and Ruby Ridge. Tucker Carlson has been suggesting that people go Ruby Ridge themselves of late..

And that's why we don't teach it here in Bangbangshootyland.
Good ol' Fark. That and Fazed were my go-to websites back in university.

No terrorism charge? That's crazy. /s
It's not a prerequisite for the first degree murder charges in Florida like it is in New York State, but I still think his actions qualify based on the state laws. Maybe we'll hear more about what all he is or is not charged with when his court dates are announced, as was the case with Mangione.
2024 Florida Statutes
Title XLVI - Crimes
Chapter 775 - General Penalties; Registration of Criminals
775.30 - Terrorism; Defined; Penalties.

History.—s. 1, ch. 2001-356; s. 5, ch. 2001-365; s. 1, ch. 2001-366; s. 1, ch. 2017-37; s. 112, ch. 2019-167.
These school shootings often lack (but not always) the needed intent in B.
I don't think it's hard to make a case for that in the CEO shooting.
That's fair but the text being OR and not AND means it is vague enough that you could apply it to punching two people as it is "a violent act" which "is intended to" "injure".
That's not how I read it personally.
You need to
Intimidate, injure, or coerce a civilian population;
AND
Influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or
OR
Affect the conduct of government through destruction of property, assassination, murder, kidnapping, or aircraft piracy.
Notice how the influence part has a very explicit or on the end of it, but the intimidate doesn't
If all you had to do was injure someone, and not be trying to influence or alter the conduct of the government through the action, it turns nearly everything violent thing into terrorism.

this isn’t a crime that would have been prevented by the gun control measures advocated by the Democrats, since none of the proposals involve disarming the police
Just had to get that in there, you fucking donkeys.
I saw some of these guys at the protest on Saturday. Someone had a microphone and spent, no lie, about 2/3rds of the time they had the mic aiming vicious criticism at the Democrats. Not "both sides," not the whole system (that was the remaining 1/3rd), but the Democrats specifically. I thought about making a bigger post about it but I'm not even sure what to say about it. I think there was 0 criticism at all leveled at the Trump administration or anything that they were doing.
Great job guys
Not only did they cheat their way into power in the 2024 election, they convinced the Dems to remain silent about it, lest their criticisms of 2020 Election Denials be turned against them.
But their second biggest win was convincing the Dems that they lost fair & square, and thus getting the Dems to completely turn on each other and destroy themselves from within.
The Democratic Party needs some serious reform, mostly embracing a more Progressive path, but their core tenets are still solid.
