I find it very disheartening and sad that over 24 hours has passed and there is no commentary on the terrorist attack in Colorado Springs.
Do not be mistaken that due to the fact that it was a single Christian terrorist who attacked these people, police officers included, this was a domestic terrorist attack. No mention here is a sad summary to the biased and unhealthy views of the NA public. I would rather focus on the much more common stateside terrorist attacks than the few and far between "islamic" attacks. How is it ok to condemn Islam for its "practices" and still be ok with a Christian walking into someone's work place and opening fire for "what they believe in". Looks like hypocrisy stands on its highest platform still. Shame!

Anything you lose from being honest
You never really had to begin with.
Sometimes it's not the song that makes you emotional it's the people and things that come to your mind when you hear it.

But yeah, the implications of the differences between reactions to various events stir up a real hornets nest.

One nbc article I just read mentioned a brief snippet of one statement he made to police about " no more n
baby parts" and other comments political in nature.
Every politician who seized on these false videos and continue to spout the falsehoods are complicit and should be charges as such. As well as that group who made them then pushed the false narrative. But for them, 3 people would still be alive.

It hasn't been ignored, but it is sad that we are so desensitized to mass shootings that they don't get a big reaction any!more
Truth is, you can paint a picture of any event just the way you want it, just by stating or omitting any facts.
"Four young people were seen punching a girl" - bullying
"Four young men were seen brutally attacking a girl" - gender-based attacks
"Four Christians were seen abusing a girl" - religion-based attacks
The problem is - the last format is reserved primarily (if not exclusively) for Muslim-driven attackers. It's almost getting to the point where, on one hand you want freedom of speech, but on the other, you want to remove bias from primary sources of opinions (i.e. the media) so these descriptors end up leading to subliminal subjugation of people, subtlety and repeatedly attacking people or groups for who they are. And because of our commitment to "democracy" and "democratic rights", once again to strip an entity (such as a broadcasting company) of its democratic rights (because entities have the same rights as humans) in lieu of minimizing the desecration of others becomes unfathomably bad.

"...I changed by not changing at all..."
As far as losers go... he's an all star- with a dose of looney tunes just to make him complicated.
And, once again if reports are correct, belief in fairy tales leads some simple, brainwashed f**king idiot to murder some people.
(Sorry, bad case of PBFT)
But i do agree that if this story had involved a Muslim (maybe even just a non-white person) The story probably would have been posted here a lot faster and there would have been outrage, and yes, that disturbs me greatly, especially considering how important the right to choose is to me. I didn't post about it myself because the issue upsets me and and sometimes I just don't want to be upset!
Mass shootings? Covered.
Abortion, yep.
If it's established guy did this as part of some religious calling, well then we can discuss the irony of all the Muslim terrorist slamming and see we have same shit here. But not yet as it hasn't been established.
Once established probably do one of my Callen posts to which Thirty will enjoy/comment.
I enjoy every one of your comments on the topics you highlighted. It's when we begin to figure out what to do with these dipshits when I start to get agitated with your comments.
You wanna scratch their back and massage their feet- I want to throw them off a bridge sooo... we're pretty far apart there LOL!

Disappearance from headlines and so-called journalistic contributions should in no way be mistaken for being erased. *poof* Just doesn't work that way.
