What shall we do with the white people... again?

I ask that question when white men commit mass shootings. I ask that question when Right-wing domestic terrorists kill innocent people. It is unfortunate, that in the aftermath of Sunday morning's murder spree by two white supremacists in Las Vegas, I am forced, once more, to ask said question.

Mass shootings by white men, as well as Right-wing domestic terrorism, have become events akin to those in the classic comedy Groundhog Day.

Unfortunately, there is nothing humorous or funny about how white Right-wing domestic terrorists have shot up Jewish community centers, planted bombs, seen a spike in their numbers since the election of Barack Obama, are coddled and encouraged by the Fox News echo chamber and the Republican Party, and now--with Tea Party regalia, Nazi bonafides, yelling "this is a revolution!"--they kill three people during a brazen daylight attack on Sunday in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The Las Vegas shooters were so contemptible that even the racist welfare king Cliven Bundy, and his band of anti-Obama brigands, apparently felt that they were too "radical" for their low tastes.

4. Sorta like RW Bingo...

Quoted from the article:

"""
The Fox News echo chamber will chose to either:

1) ignore the events in Las Vegas;
2) highlight those tragic events as an example for why concealed carry gun laws should be the rule of the land;
3) offer the default answer: this is all somehow Barack Obama's fault;
4) advance a lazy, intellectually bankrupt, and morally empty deflection: black people in Chicago shoot each other all the time!;
5) argue that these people are "sick" and "crazy", so why are we even talking about their politics?;
6) lie and commit an intellectually rapacious and craven assault on the historical record by suggesting that white supremacist Nazis are in fact really "liberals".

"""

Let's see which one(s) they choose!!!

5. Indeed

I am amazed this isn't a bigger story. It should be the biggest story of the year because the slippery slope connections are all there.

I am waiting for the crime scene photo that shows the "don't tread on me flag" draped over the bodies of two slain public servants. If that doesn't change the discussion, I don't know what will.

Here is the big question I ask: Are these two killers all that different from the Oklahoma City Bombers? The body count is less but all the other elements are there.

How bad does it have to get.

The Government needs to get serious about these people.

6. what proof do we have . .

that they kicked him out. Not that I'd put it past them to try to do some half-assed attempt at distancing themselves.
