The rePukes need to stop preaching that the Government is Evil

I don't know any details of the current apparent shooter in the area, but if they keep preaching that the Government is Evil, one of their soft-headed sycophants is going to get it in their head that they need to do something.

The Government is good and it is necessary. Anyone who hates the Government needs to take a ride over to Somalia and see how they love that freedom.

I hope that everyone's safe here.

As fucked up as it is, I have realized that some people just need to have someone to hate. Usually they want to hate people who are different, different color, different language, different sexual orientation.

But when that's not enough for them they will hate people who will not hate with them.
