IMO most Americans who are OK with bigotry and violence aren’t going to give a shit about any violence that doesn’t shut off their own personal lights/heat/AC.
The woman, when questioned by police, said that the Angel Gabriel from Heaven came, his wings as drifted snow, his eyes as flame, “All hail,” said he, “thou drag shows are an offense to the Almighty and I’m going to put a stop to it with my Glock.” Got’cha.
I’m sure it’s a coincidence that two electric power substations were destroyed by gunfire mere minutes after the drag show started, and that the sheriff seems to be a sympathizer. But sure, let’s give them the benefit of the doubt. It worked great before the Nazis took over in Germany.
We’re only a few generations removed from politicians in that part of the country shutting down the entire public school system for several years rather than give black kids an equal education.
Okay, if you insist, I’ll use the words "alleged suspects" because they’re too chickenshit to admit responsibility. Even Al Qaeda and ISIS do that.
In fact, they’re not even suspects, because the sheriff is in their back pocket. “People of interest.”
Please don’t sue me, Y’all Qaeda. Maybe they’ll remember that people in this thread tried to give them the benefit of the doubt when they start lining us up against the wall soon. But I doubt it. It doesn’t matter to them whether you’re an actual pedophile or whether you just voted for Biden, you’re all going to Hell as far as they’re concerned.
This is a breaking news thread. Please take political or other discussion and start a thread elsewhere. Comments for this thread should be confined to breaking news.
Several are, not just you. It’s a good topic for discussion, but not in a breaking news thread. I’ll leave it to posters to start a thread where they choose. Either P&E or IMHO would be good choices, I think.
Beau is an interesting guy. but geeze I wish he didn’t use video.
He should write a blog or a web site. I would read it regularly.But I’m not gonna sit through 6 minutes of slow-talking every time.
I could read it MUCH more quickly.
Beau is much better at elucidating these thoughts than I am.
He’s right, of course. Suspicion is not proof. And if I’ve been jumping to conclusions, I apologize. I’m just so goddamn fed up with domestic terrorism.
While it is possible, perhaps even likely, that the attack on the power stations was to protest against a Drag Show, the evidence, so far, is incredibly weak
Do you think the Sheriff or any others involved in local LE are directly involved in the incident? Do you think they condone the incident? Do you think the they are not seriously interested in apprehending those responsible? Those are extraordinary claims, you better have extraordinary evidence. Otherwise, let the investigators investigate.
Frankly, I would be much more concerned that this incident had nothing to do with a Drag Show.
