    “Just how many examples do you need that Trump’s rhetoric inspires hateful deeds.” -Ozzie
    Just one that actually does that might do.
    The “manifesto” is a clearly provocative piece that’s calculated to inflame the easily inflammable. Like Ozz. Boobie and Steve F.

    So, an Australian gun nut (accent on nut) living in NZ shoots up a Mosque.
    But it’s all Trump’s fault. Or maybe Chelsea Clinton’s.
    It’s the fault of the shooter and those who egged him on.
    The shooter got the inspiration mostly from Breivik, not Trump. But then, he’s a liar and nothing he wrote can be taken at face value. It’s a global troll.

    You are as transparent as a jellyfish. You’ve been well indoctrinated by the NRA playbook. The approved, immediate response after any mass shooting. Does this sound familiar??
    Politicization of the tragedy at this time is abhorrent. Let the victim’s families mourn without involving politics.

    Lol. Yep, the Pulse Nightclub shooter spent twenty minutes on the phone with 911 during his deadly killing spree detailing his motives (Radical Islamic Terrorism) and afterall this time, the FBI has yet to find his motive.
    AG Loretta Lynch said these shootings happen because lack of jobs and lack of hugs. Well, the shooter had a job and the way she slobbered over him, he got plenty of hugs.
    Hmm. Should we believe the New Zealand killer and not the gay nightclub killer? Oh, the dilemma. Kinda like when the Leftinistas say there should be no billionaires in one breath and then say with the next breath that billionaires will fund their unicorns and pixie dust.
    I believe the killer…..but I don’t know which killer to believe. Allahu Akbar?

    And the freshman outperformed the seniors.

    NZ laws are very tough on guns. The media reported yesterday that the only place you can carry one is from gun range to gun range. Then today a media outlet said they have “lax” gun laws. That is where the resident troll lib got that. It was the BEE I think. Anyway the laws are way tougher even though that moron AOC said the NRA was responsible for this killing spree in NZ.
    No one of the conservative beliefs think this scumbag should live past a week after his trial. But like all other “western” democracies, they probably will house this guy for twenty years then let him out. Just like Norway. And for the libs here that love those ISIS fellows, there was a live beheading of two young Nordic women a month ago. You can get your thrills watching that.

    Prediction: Beto will make it into the Top Two come DNC time. Don’t discount the Irish man.
    First, one must think like a Lefty for you to follow along. So, put on your lefty hats and throw away your thinking caps.
    Beto is young, hip, cool. The Dems have been waiting for over 50 years for the 2nd Coming of JFK. They swoon over youth and goofiness. Think Bill Clinton playing the sax with dark shades onlate night Arsenal Hall. How cool is that! Hip to the jive.
    Think AOC. They love her to death. It doesn’t matter one lick if her policies are viable or have severe unintended consequences. Pay that hat no nevermind. She is the biggest rock star in Socialist Party right now because she is young and goofy and in tune. Millions follow here every tweet and are energized. It’s the feelings, the vibes that count.
    When Barrack Obama came along, people were swooning and fainting in the crowds at just the sight of him. Young, unconventional, weird name….perfect. Remember the Obama girls doing their songs? An internet sensation.
    Now we have Beto. He came out of the gate running against Ted Cruz on a anti-gun no guns allowed platform (in Texas!) and only lost by 3 points. He is internet savvy, rides a skateboard across the stage with ease, and it’s the farthest thing from a technocrat. He married a rich lady who is the adult in the room. Most relationships have the free spirit and the nerd, She is the quiet serious one in the background who takes care of business was, he is free to play in punk bands and be Beto, Beto, Beto. Camelot.
    Beto launched his candidatcy for POTUS in the middle of the night. Put out some talks on the internet, instantly set up a line of merchandise, and went back to bed. He’s Beto!
    There are young girls who now are singing songs about Beto they made up. It’s fun. Do you see young people making up songs praising Kamala Harris? Do you see young people walking around with Elizabeth Warren or Corey Booker fashionwear? Beto is in.
    The Dems love youth. It’s all about the motion. Beto may be a White heterosexual male, but the best thing about Beto is he transcends Idenity Politics and Intersectionality!!
    Lastly, Beto ican boogie on the boogie board and is a better driver than Drunk Teddy.He does have thing with cars and a way with words, though.
    “O’Rourke also reportedly wrote about murdering children by running them over with a car.
    “One day, as I was driving home from work, I noticed two children crossing the street,” O’Rourke wrote. “They were happy, happy to be free from their troubles …This happiness was mine by right. I had earned it in my dreams.”
    “As I neared the young ones, I put all my weight on my right foot, keeping the accelerator pedal on the floor until I heard the crashing of the two children on the hood, and then the sharp cry of pain from one of the two,” O’Rourke continued. “I was so fascinated for a moment, that when after I had stopped my vehicle, I just sat in a daze, sweet visions filling my head.”
    The disturbing writings are just the latest in a long line of stories about O’Rourke that center around his driving.
    On the night of his 26th birthday, O’Rourke hit another vehicle while he was driving drunk. O’Rourke claimed that he only had two beers, which The Washington Post has disputed:”

    “Beto is a brainless rich kid who yearned to be cool and wasn’t very good at it. He flunked out of punk. He failed as a fiction writer. He belly-flopped as an alternative-newspaper publisher. And he’s so clueless that his apartment was once robbed while he was sitting in it. At his pricey Virginia prep school (Woodberry Forest School these days carries a sticker price of $48,000 a year), he thought he “just stuck out so badly” because of the “monoculture” there, which the Dallas Morning News called “white, wealthy and southern.” O’Rourke was and is white, wealthy, and southern, so he couldn’t have stuck out much more than Miracle Whip at the mayonnaise convention, yet he was wounded and alienated. Or maybe not.”

    Oh Walt, you are an uneducated Deplorable. You don’t know what you are talking about.
    Listen to our enlightened betters. They we schooled at the cream of the crop institutions of higher thinkers.
    For instance, take someone with a degree in International Relations or Economics from the prestigious Boston University. Current yearly tuition is $53,948. Add room and meals and it is a bargain at $69,668/ year. A bargain because of all that good thunking and learnin’ you receive that will carrry you through the rest of your life. Plus all that delicious prestige you can name drop at high society cocktail functions.
    “I attended the Academy of Higher Book Learning and you should be impressed. Ah I see your r.”
    Interesting that AOC (a Boston University grad, majoring in International Rrelations and Evonomics) blamed the New Zealand mosque shootings on the NRA. It’s that darn NRA in New Zealand that is the problem here, people!
    Hmmmm. The NRA does not exist in New Zealand or any country outside of the good ole US of A. As American as appple pie. Blame the NRA.

    Walt, it is plain as day you don’t know jack sh*t about NZ gun ownership. I’ve never seen a gun range in NZ, but I have seen lots and lots of guns. You’d love it. They shoot just about anything that moves. Go hunting, carry a gun. Go fishing, carry a gun, Go for a walk in the woods, carry a gun. They don’t have big carnivores or venomous snakes or much crime. It’s just a thing. Unlike you, I don’t pretend to know the legality of such ownership, but if there are laws, they clearly are not enforced. To be honest, outside of the cities, I don’t know that I’ve ever seen a proper cop.

    He liked Christchurch. Said if you did not have flower growing in the flower box under the front window, they would cite ya. Very Elizabethian or Victorian. They wouldn’t let him in unless he had a skill they needed. The number one skill they needed was medical technologists. So, he went to school, got his license, and they still would not let him and let his family emigrate there, lol. Neither could blacks emigrate there back in the day. It all worked out. Life happens. He kept going to school at night, worked during the day and piled up a whole bunch of degrees and papers and licenses to hang on the Wall. That was around 1970 or so. Last I talked to him, he still was talking a night course at some UC college. He also is moving out of CA this spring after all these years.
    Anyway, NZ has probably changed quite a bit in 50 years. I was surprised they let Muslims in, but then I had to look at the date on the calander to remind myself.
    Don’t know much bout NZ, save they have more sheep than people and Ruth Ginsberg is thinking of moving there. I imagine Australia is going through the same angst.

    Here we see fish trying to teach his son math,,,

    It had to be math……he taught himself how to pirate movies all by himself and not get caught……only problem is that at 13 he understands the the Star Wars films are all shite! So there’s no need to risk having your camera confiscated or frankly looking like a 60 year old pervert skulking around a childs movie!
    No man….its cool……I’m like an artist………!

    Bring back memories Dougy? How bout that? A felon!( at least in the court of public opinion if anything else.)
    Did they come and take your guns? Or is that another law that’s for “others” to follow?
    Love all those excuses BTW.
    Thanks Fish for the stroll down memory lane.
