Something crazy suss about the authorities being aware the shooter was on the rooftop for minutes without doing anything. Not sure what, but it is just super suss IMO

Not that surprising. The talent pool is simply not deep enough for their policing model, after recruitment for the military. Time after time we see officers who simply do not possess the required temperament or intellect to do the job they are charged with. Having police chief appointments determined through the political process (fathers’ $$$), rather than on merit, probably not ideal either.

No be fair I believe he’s only ever called for Dan to be jailed

Breaking news: Insurrectionist rapist gets shot a little bit in the ear.
A headlne you won't see.

Imagine Joe Biden doing this. Why does he continually get a free pass on almost every single thing he does? ELI5 me

 

[Santana]

Wow his twitter feed - the replies to other posts - is pretty shocking for someone who was formerly a fire chief.

Is it really that big of a surprise? Much like their dear leader most hardcore Trump fans are complete assholes.


Hopefully his family doesn't see that feed because people are going in hard.

"Supporter killed in a shooting at his rally. Gets up goes golfing."

Because for all of his faults (and I can’t stand the campaigner) he knows how media works. It’s about ratings (especially TV) and he and his team are master manipulators of it. Democrats are awful at it and this is why they lose.

Media love him because he rates = revenue and that’s why they give him the coverage. That includes WP/NYT/LAT.

 

[Santana]

"Both sides need to tone down the rhetoric"

 

[Dogs_R_Us]

Murdoch media 101. Stoke outrage for more ratings/views. Who cares of the detrimental impacts.

In before "oh all media is the same". I know other media can do things for clicks/views, but none does it as cynically as Murdoch media, and they are veterans at it in the UK, Australia and US.

Much better on the ABC which gave the whole thing the ignore it deserved.

100% - surely with a potential threat being identified you get Trump off the stage pronto until it's dealt with?

 

[Captivating]

Nah, it’s mot laws that need to change, it’s an amendment to the constitution. Which is possible, but a much higher bar to clear.

Other laws have worked, NFA (1934) and FOPA (1986) as examples

He gets called out on stuff. It's just the GOP and his hardcore fans don't care because they lack basic empathy.

Trump wouldn't piss on his average rally-going supporter. Of course, he doesn't care about the one that was killed yesterday.

 

[Sir_Loin]

Is it? The Democrats controlled the House, Senate, Whitehouse and SCOTUS during the 1960's. If they wanted change, they could have made it then. They've also controlled both the House and Senate more recently when SCOTUS was split 4-4 when they had a vacancy.

So Dems have had ample opportunities to pass federal laws on gun control.

Can you take me through what happened with the 4-4?

 

[Sir_Loin]

Just a bit of self care.

“Depends” what you mean by self-care

 

[Blue1980]

Oh a false flag to get Trump elected that has an +90% of killing him?

Only you suggested a false flag.

All we currently know is the shooter was 20 year old gun nut who was a registered Republican.

He was also bullied at school and into hunting.

In the 1960's there were 90 million firearms in the USA (and a population of 180 million people).

Most of those firearms were handguns (mainly revolvers), shotguns and hunting rifles. The 'AR-15' style of semi auto 'assault rifle' had only just been invented by Eugene Stoner and was introduced to the US Military in the late 60's as the M-16.

Currently there are 400 million firearms in the USA (from a population of 330 million people).

The population of the USA has doubled, but the number of guns has increased 4 fold.

AR-15 style semi automatic weapons account for 1/4 of gun purchases:

The Gun problem in 1960 is nothing compared to the Gun problem in 2024 and to suggest they are comparable is disingenuous at best.

If there was no gun control problem in the 1960's, then why did the US enact GCA (1968) and the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968?

Martin Luther King, JFK and the University of Texas shooting prompted law makers to enact new laws.

 

[OneGreatClub]

One things for certain, old mate with the smoking third eye has delivered the ultimate wedge on the democrats. The "Trump is Hitler" and a "threat to democracy" rhetoric becomes extremely fraught from here out, especially if Trump uses his RNC speech to push a unifying message. Alternatively what else can they do? Joe is completely underwater on the key policy issues which was the reason for the constant smears and lawfare in the first place.

The Dems continue pushing the truth, that’s what they do,

There were more famous people being killed then sure, but as a percentage was it as high then as it is now?

Genuine question, I don’t actually know.

 

[Achy Blakey Heart]

Doesn’t want photos taken, so they can continue to push the lie that he was shot

Your evidence?

 

[Achy Blakey Heart]

Does seem odd, man who literally monetizes everything, doesn’t want any pictures taken of the wound.

Stop trying to perpetuate misinformation.

A quick search, I found this. There might be more recent data, but this shows gun issues were as big an issue in the late 60's as they are now.

Was trending better then worse. How’s it been since post 2021?

Bezos, Musk, Zuccenberg, etc. are not traditional capitalists who make money from employing people - catch up

80% if businesses are small businesses - catch up
