    the shooter is a full blown Trump hater and a left wing zealot ...


    Boulder Shooter is A Product of the Left

    The man who murdered ten people in a Boulder, Colorado supermarket Monday has been identified as a Muslim migrant ISIS sympathizer named Ahmad Al Issa (which is how he himself wrote his name on his Facebook and Twitter accounts, not “Alissa” as the establishment media has been spelling it). This identification immediately destroyed the narrative that leftist “journalists” ran with all of Monday evening and Tuesday morning, that the shooter was one of those “right-wing extremists” – you know, those people who are, according to DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, the “most lethal and persistent” threat the U.S. faces today. Ironically, while Al Issa is clearly not the “white supremacist” of leftist fantasy, he is just as plainly a product of the leftist subculture that is so prevalent in America today. ... more at link ..

    I don’t think @Okiebob is too worried about that. There are plenty of hiding places in a missile silo I’d imagine. Ol’ Joe will never find them, he got lost once in his own museum!

    Right on cue they just stopped another idiot from goin in another supermarket in ATL with guns and was wearing body armor.

    The fear or rona is wearing off so gotta get ppl scared or something else. And since everyone likes keeping score, wasn't white either.

    I've been thinking about the Boulder shooter quite a bit, I wonder if his motive is based partially on the airstrikes that were ordered in Syria late last month,
    The guy is from Syria, he has obvious mental issues. His home country starts getting bombed and a few weeks later he buys a gun and kills civilians? I don't know, I haven't heard anyone else mention it. Just a hunch.

    When one gets their news from WaPo, they get fake news. I don't care where you actually got that from (and even some conservative sites similarly parroted these false talking points) that was originally taken from the easily dismantled false characterizations in the WaPo article.

    Powell's filing not only makes clear that she does believe her claims; it also presents evidence that she believes to back up her claims. Her legal argument is that even IF she did make her claims without evidence, it was political opinion and as such is protected free speech. Her defense then further states that if her claims were the outlandish wild accusations as the Plaintiff claims them to be; that no reasonable person should have believed her assertions and thus are not defamatory. That is a classic defense argument. Old D shoots holes in their own legal proposition.
    Things that are "crazy", "outlandish", and "unsupported by evidence" are not likely to be believed by "reasonable people" and therefore, cannot be construed as actually damaging or defamatory. Old D can't have it both ways.

    Her actual defense-

    "Given the highly charged and political context of the statements, it is clear that Powell was describing the facts on which she based the lawsuits she filed in support of President Trump," Powell's defense lawyers wrote.

    "Indeed, Plaintiffs [Dom] themselves characterize the statements at issue as 'wild accusations' and 'outlandish claims.' They are repeatedly labelled 'inherently improbable' and even 'impossible.'

    "Such characterizations of the allegedly defamatory statements further support Defendants' position that reasonable people would not accept such statements as fact but view them only as claims that await testing by the courts through the adversary process."

    ********

    I swore this thread off, but can't let you get away with this one.

    I would guess this had something to do with him going off the rails .. ...... when crap like this happens, I wonder if we will ever know the full truth ..... kinda like what happened with the concert shooting in Vegas, much of that has been hushed ...
