mcgruff10 said:Halifax2TheMax said:Yup, absolutely no difference in how our esteemed dear leader referred to and reacted to the two incidents, Vegas versus NYC. Read Trump's words as he refers to and answers questions regarding the incidents at the time or shortly thereafter occurring. Equal justice under the law? By Trump's reasoning, all white people should be held to account for the Vegas shooter. Maybe take their guns away?

The broader point here: Trump is more than willing to seize on tragic events when they confirm his previous political and policy beliefs. He will effectively ignore them when they don't.09/15/1998 & 09/16/1998, Mansfield, MA; 08/29/00 08/30/00, Mansfield, MA; 07/02/03, 07/03/03, Mansfield, MA; 09/28/04, 09/29/04, Boston, MA; 09/22/05, Halifax, NS; 05/24/06, 05/25/06, Boston, MA; 07/22/06, 07/23/06, Gorge, WA; 06/27/2008, Hartford; 06/28/08, 06/30/08, Mansfield; 08/18/2009, O2, London, UK; 10/30/09, 10/31/09, Philadelphia, PA; 05/15/10, Hartford, CT; 05/17/10, Boston, MA; 05/20/10, 05/21/10, NY, NY; 06/22/10, Dublin, IRE; 06/23/10, Northern Ireland; 09/03/11, 09/04/11, Alpine Valley, WI; 09/11/11, 09/12/11, Toronto, Ont; 09/14/11, Ottawa, Ont; 09/15/11, Hamilton, Ont; 07/02/2012, Prague, Czech Republic; 07/04/2012 & 07/05/2012, Berlin, Germany; 07/07/2012, Stockholm, Sweden; 09/30/2012, Missoula, MT; 07/16/2013, London, Ont; 07/19/2013, Chicago, IL; 10/15/2013 & 10/16/2013, Worcester, MA; 10/21/2013 & 10/22/2013, Philadelphia, PA; 10/25/2013, Hartford, CT; 11/29/2013, Portland, OR; 11/30/2013, Spokane, WA; 12/04/2013, Vancouver, BC; 12/06/2013, Seattle, WA; 10/03/2014, St. Louis.

There was all kinds of "too soon" talk.
None in this thread.
If you think there isn't some xenophobia/racism involved in that difference, Christie's got a bridge to sell ya, but the traffic's pretty bad!Monkey Driven, Call this Living?0 -

2 days after the Las Vegas Mass Shooting by a white Christian male in which 59 people were killed by automatic weapons bought legally in the U.S. herr dRumpf said it was to early to discuss policy or politics about the mass shooting and or gun control.
15 hours after the terrorist attack in NYC by a young muslim male from Uzbekistan in which 8 people were killed herr dRumpf was politicizing the event by trying to blame Senator Schumer and th visa lottery that allowed the perpetrator to legally immigrate to America.0 -
Thirty Bills Unpaid said:josevolution said:Radical muslims hang them , white driver runs over peaceful protester well he must be deranged terrible up bringin , white guy kills 58 americans you don't hear a single thing about him now when did that happen again ?
You think people here soften their stances on punishment if the offender is white? Get serious.
The Vegas guy was dead- no need to wish him alive... and people more than adequately expressed how vile he was. And people were talking about punching nazis before that idiot ran over those people in Virginia... and they were seething after the incident.jesus greets me looks just like me ....0 -

However on the flip side democrats quickly used vegas as a means to attempt to pass gun control but I haven't seen any democrats talk about limiting immigration/tightening our borders since yesterday.
It works both ways.I'll ride the wave where it takes me......0 -

Speaking of politicizing this issue...
You and RG are using this example to highlight causes that aren't even relevant to random people being murdered by some raving, brainwashed, f**king lunatic- with an all too familiar tactic.
You think race is a factor in how we respond to events such as these? If this idiot was white we'd be more okay with it?
Let's be clear about something: in the event the Vegas shooter had been a devout Christian with an extensive background in Christian activism... and Christians throughout the world were repeatedly murdering unsuspecting people in horrifying fashion... you could bet your bottom dollar these boards would be lighting up Christianity with very minimal tolerance.
And for the record, the Vegas thread was boiling over with political tension from the outset.

All is good, man. In my mind you're one of the good guys.
I'm guilty of speaking passionately before thinking as hard as I might too.
