In other right wing violence news, someone fired 23 gunshots into the home of a Democratic Alabama State Senator this morning. > **[Someone Fired 23 Shots at Alabama Democratic State Senator’s Home](https://www.thedailybeast.com/someone-fired-23-shots-at-alabama-state-sen-vivian-davis-figures-home)** > > A Mobile police spokesperson said the gunfire “does not appear to be a random act.” This extremist behavior is becoming so common that it doesn’t even make the news anymore. But a Democrat shot and wounded Steve Scaliese four years ago, so that makes it OK. ---

Funny thing about this thread – I started it because Sam had promised to come apologize for his own gullibility in believing Trump’s tweets, but the original thread was closed. But he refused. Because he’s dishonest and dishonorable, as is now clear. And only a dishonest, dishonorable fool like him could continue to carry water for these violent, unAmerican assholes. You still haven’t taken responsibility for your extreme gullibility in accepting Trump’s tweets, much less all your other errors and lies. I don’t expect you to any more. It’d be a surprise if you did. ---

I am guilty of sloppy writing. I meant that some rioters were older and out shape, leading to deaths from natural causes, just like Officer Sicknick. I did not mean to imply that he was either old or out of shape, but just that he died of natural causes, I have no idea what kind of condition he was in. But I know I can count on you to parse everything I say in the worst possible way. ---
