[We will now have to dissect the when and how President Trump was the prime cause of all these massacres.  And one thing is clear to many of our tight thinkers, the man is able to make such things happen in cities where he previously held a campaign rally.  So finally, after all the years of mass shootings, we have identified their cause.  Socialist science marches on.  gjr]

    Keep those apologies coming… your claim was a weekly “random” mass shooting, meaning three or more dead that the shooter did not know.
    The article you linked included murders of family and acquaintances.

    We are 4 times more likely to die at the hands of a mass shooter in New Zealand than in the USA. Ok, if you throw in the last shooter down there, you are twice as likely to die in a mass shooting in New Zealand than in the USA. Man, we are not even close to being near that top or the top 10. We are so far down the list it is hard to find the USA.
    One mass shooting every 12.7 days? That don’t seem right unless you include the gangland killings.

    I guess we can’t count the daily massacres that occur in the middle east, Africa, central America, … when the Left makes its case to disarm law-abiding citizens for the ultimate concentration of power in the state.
    Gregory, my use of ‘dumb’ for body-slamming subsumed all that such an act entails in present day US. And it’s dumb only because of the legal ramifications that follow. As ScottO pointed out, back in the days when it really did take an appreciative village to raise our youth, such encounters would have been considered acceptable and appropriate.

    That you can somehow equate drug deals gone bad and gang bangers popping each other with a sociopath mowing down rows of innocent soft targets going to a garlic festival, going out for a drink, or standing in lines at WalMart is pretty perverted, But as an NRA poster child trying to blur the lines, we’re not the least bit surprised to see that kind of posting on RR. I see that earlier George equated civil wars, gang warfare and cartel retribution with lone wolf sociopaths here in the states committing mass murder on innocents just for the fun of it. I guess you guys see no difference what so ever.

    I was at the town hall. You can see the back of me in the SF 49er hat in the picture. I was not surprised the leftwingnuts were there and screaming their profanities. And they kept yapping when LaMalfa was trying to interact. He was filling us in and then cutoff by some big mouth guy. And I think a woman we have seen before was escorted out by the cops for being her usual scummy self. Doug does a good job at these things and keeps his calm. I think the leftwingnuts can’t handle his calmness so they get rowdier and louder and more profane. He does not bite.

    Oprah: One thing I have always liked about Oprah was she walked into the ole so very Reverend Jeremiah Wright’s Church. She walked out and never went back. She is no dummy. She doesn’t stomach those black race hustlers spewing their vile. Zero tolerance for that crap. Meanwhile, Obama stayed for 20 years, roflmao.
    She is correct about what ails society. Forget what the race baiters and poverty pimps say. Listen to those down in the trenches fighting the battles daily to improve the lives of the forgotten man in the black communities. They know what ails the inner city, the black communities. They also know what the glue that binds them together is. What works and what does not work. They know what is needed. They are on the same page as Oprah.
    The other thing I like about Oprah is she has an aid that tracks and documents every single minute 365 days a year to make sure she physically spends no more than 49.9% of her time at her 23,000 sq ft home in Montecito, CA or in CA itself. That way she does not have to pay CA state income taxes. She ain’t no dummy.

    Just to be clear, the piece linked by RLC has the following description:

    Curt James Brockway, 39, told a sheriff’s deputy that he asked the boy to remove his hat out of respect for the national anthem playing before the start of the county rodeo on Saturday, Donohue wrote in the document describing the alleged attack.
    The boy cursed at Brockway in response, and the man grabbed him by the throat, “lifted him into the air and slammed the boy into the ground,” Donohue wrote.
    A witness, Taylor Hennick, told the Missoulian she was at the rodeo on Saturday when she heard a “pop” and saw the boy on the ground, bleeding from his ears. The assailant justified his actions by saying the boy “was disrespecting the national anthem, so he had every right to do that,” Hennick said.
    Donohue wrote in her description that a witness she did not name agreed with most of Brockway’s description of what happened, but did not hear Brockway ask the boy to take off his hat.
    Brockway, of Superior, Montana, made an initial court appearance Monday on a charge of assault on a minor. Prosecutors recommended his bail be set at $100,000. Court officials said Brockway’s attorney was working to recommend conditions that might allow Brockway to be released without posting bond.
    Brockway is a registered violent offender after being convicted of a 2010 charge of assault with a weapon.

    I think a kid bleeding from both ears after an assault by a registered violent offender counts as an injury.

    The confusion delusion continues in CA education. If you can’t win them over with your brilliance, then dazzle them with your bull shit.
    “The state is in danger of letting its students down. The goal of the new course is to help students learn about and engage with the history and culture of groups that have been overlooked, marginalized or subjected to “invisibility.” But a current draft of the model curriculum, drawn up by a committee of teachers and academics and headed to the State Board of Education, is an impenetrable melange of academic jargon and politically correct pronouncements. It’s hard to wade through all the references to hxrstory and womxn and misogynoir and cisheteropatriarchy. . .
    “Too often the proposed ethnic studies curriculum feels like an exercise in groupthink, designed to proselytize and inculcate more than to inform and open minds. It talks about critical thinking but usually offers one side and one side only.”

    Maybe I was too subtle in pointing out that Todd refused to take off his ball cap when indoors at a hearing with our US Congressman. He didn’t pick up the drift I was tying him into the incident you report. What a numb skull. Someone should have picked him up by the throat and taught him a bit about respect. I am not a La Malfa fan, but I would have dressed in a respectful fashion and certainly have removed my hat.

Your ilk had their tie dyes and shorts and dreds and many smelled like they needed a shower. I am sure you would have noticed but you were too lazy to get off the couch to come see. As far as my cap, it has over the years been just fine to wear one indoors. Funny how you libs think ripping a baby from the womb at nine months is just fine but grabbing someone by the neck about a hat is appropriate. You are a clown and of no consequence.

    “While the residents were thankful for the overhaul — well over 100 volunteers came together to remove 12 tons of trash, according to Presler — the liberal media were, uh, irritated. The media attacked the activist as an “extremist,” questioned his motives, and scolded him for “reinforc[ing] the tired image that the poor people in this city can’t take care of their own neighborhoods.”
    “Whatever he says his motives were, Scott Presler’s presence in Baltimore reinforces the tired image that the poor people in this city can’t take care of their own neighborhoods,” the Sun complained.”

    WISH FULFILLMENT: Hollywood Film Depicts Trump Supporters Being Hunted for Sport by Liberals.
    The same ones who are now telling Trump supporters to give up their guns. Hmm. . . .
    Plus: “In the past few days we’ve been hearing a lot about how Donald Trump’s rhetoric is apparently to blame for the El Paso shooting, yet Hollywood apparently lacked the foresight to think that a movie promoting violence against ‘deplorables’ might be in bad taste until after the shootings in El Paso and Dayton, as only now is Universal rethinking their promotional strategy for the film.”
    Leftists think that rhetoric leads to violence. That’s why they use that rhetoric themselves, and why they try to silence it in their opponents. Once you realize it’s not about decency, but about brutality in service of power, it all makes sense.

    But another Twitter user who posted the video, The Daily Wire’s Ryan Saavedra, said Twitter simply does not want the “Left’s pure hatred exposed because it damages the narrative that many at Twitter have.”
    “By suspending me for telling the truth, Twitter is making it clear that they seek to control the news media and only allow content on their platform that does not expose the evil, projection, and hypocrisy of the political Left,” Saavedra wrote. “Do not be surprised if they permanently ban me.”
    Saavedra added: “By suspending McConnell’s re-election campaign for exposing the violent rhetoric directed at McConnell, which was allowed to foment on Twitter for days, Twitter is interfering in the 2020 elections in a manner to help Democrats and hurt Republicans.”
    Capitol Hill communications director Ben Goldey said that he, too, had been locked out of Twitter.
    “My account was temporarily suspended after posting a video of far-left activists chanting death threats at Senator McConnell,” Goldey wrote on Twitter. “Meanwhile, @Castro4Congress tweet, targeting his own constituents by name and employer is still up and does not violate Twitter’s Rules.”
