“Activist”. What idiot wrote this? If they were brown it would say terrorist.
This redneck fuck was a terrorist. Good riddance.
Because everyone is afraid of what the lunatic fringe ~~will do~~ is already doing. Nobody wants to appear responsible for escalating the violence.
This demands repeating:
Politicians, media, prosecutors, judges -- There is already violence. There will be more violence. Not if, when. The sooner you stop thinking we can go back the way we came, the quicker we'll be done with all this. The only way out is through.
He also would have been described as a "responsible gun owner" 24 hours ago since the gun was likely legally purchased and he hadn't lost control of his emotions and killed anyone with it yet.
It's rare to see someone rightfully point out the fact that all bad guys with a gun were once good guys until they suddenly... You know.. Weren't.
And then magically, they don't count, despite buying the same guns, from the same stores, with the same checks then carrying it around under the same laws and storing it with the same optional safety.
It's a perfect setup. Responsible gun owners can never commit crimes. Maybe it's time we all started calling the murderers committing crimes with legal guns "former responsible gun owner so and so".
It's like a mixture of survivor bias and a no true scot fallacy.
Surprised they didn't call him a "protestor". Shit journalism.
For fucking real. Dude's a domestic terrorist.
Now he's the best kind of domestic terrorist.
🙌
We need more investigations into these kinds of domestic terror networks.
Technically he is brown, I really don't know where the line is anymore for who's a terrorist and who's not according to the Peter Griffin skin shade scale, but it's seemed to devolve into "if he's a far right person then he must not be a terrorist" because you can't say it's conservatives because Jihadists are conservatives, then you have Hindu nationalists, the line really only seems to be "Donald Trump fan" not a terrorist, all others, terrorist.
And, just like that, there's one less Nazi in the world.
It feels very Trump to try to commit a murder-suicide and end up being the only one who dies.
These murder-suicide assholes would do the world a favour if they changed the victim order of their killing spree.
Hey, at least this fuck was so incompetent he couldn't get the murder part right.
Task failed successfully.
I mean, other than the injuries he caused that woman at least.
It's always the ones you most suspect.
Why am I not surprised that someone who would donate that much money to Donald Trump is apparently completely unhinged?
Alembik, who describes DeSantis as one of his “close friends” in a post on LinkedIn, first attracted attention in the wake of Trump’s comments following a 2017 white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia that left a counter-protester dead. After Trump insisted their were “many fine people” on both sides of the issue, mainstream charities pulled events from Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club.
Alembik, however, decided to move a charity gala for his newly formed pro-Israel nonprofit group, Truth About Israel, to Mar-a-Lago to help fill the void.
His non-profit, looks like a website dedicated to claiming that Israel is not an Apartheid state. Beware, it looks like the site has been neglected for some time.
That being said, it also looks like he didn't really do anything with the charity outside of a quick youtube channel. Like nothing. I can't find public records on what he used the money on, or donations, or Even pictures of projects he did.
It is a charity in name only.
Probably just some good old money laundering with the "charity."
Well if points drew a line, then the dots are arranging themselves in a way where people who thought they were donating to Jewish culture preservation actually partially funded Trump's legal depute with Stormy Daniels at the end of the money trail.
Lord, I do hope I am wrong.
Good. More uplifting news, please.
We can only hope that after shooting someone for unknown (and likely very flimsy) reasons, this sack of gargled elephant dung had a serious moment of reflection and realized what an absolute worthless fuck he was and THAT is why he shot himself.
Because I could totally see it just being an incompetent prick accidentally shooting himself while trying to holster his weapon.
Inb4 likeminded knuckle-draggers say it was antifa.
This shitstain took too long to remove himself. Save the world, encourage more maga Republicans to follow suit.
