    Another bullet writing "fascist hating, trans loving " puke.
    They openly declared war a long time ago, no one was listening hard enough. Head on swivel ppl. Every out of way and public shooting rage IN this country needs to be surveyed. They aren't learning 200 yard shots in their basements. Hear shots where there shouldn't be,call them in.

    I keep hearing how “the fuse is lit” and how civil war is imminent.

    Will “they” be wearing gray uniforms? Blue?

    Should I go take a pot shot at my old golf partner who I know is a Democrat?

    How would you know who is on your side?

    Lot of internet testosterone on here.

    Be realistic.

    People are angry. "Battles" can be waged in many ways, most notably in the way we spend our money and who we elect.

    Here the reality with niether testosterone nor at my age estrogen. All you need is intelligent quite canceling. All that has to happen is one fool in a protest going just a little to far.
    Now I'll give you real life for it made the news. A Naples high school teacher said some pretty nasty things against Charlie Kirk on face book. He then reportedly ,I didn't see it so allegedly, bragged about having 10 yr and the best union in the world. Thus being untouchable. Well a group got together and 1200+ signatures later the guy was suspended. Now one may say so what. The so what is he has a bee keeping business. There is a local Naples festival soon. The group has planned a major protest at the festival if he trys to open his booth. People around here DO NOT forget nor do they forgive going too far.

    I get it but if your not doing something illegal and you don't look like a nut job trans ,furry, or what ever other crazy thing these wackos think u, you have no worries. If they can catalog those ppl or find them with illegal equipment then a life or more saved is worth inconvenience.

    I love ya OND but that’s just a fear response.
    It’s the same line of thinking that got us stuck with the Patriot act.

    Charlie Kirk was killed because he spoke the truth, even though it was uncomfortable.
    He also did it without attacking or demonizing his opponents.
    I see a lot of vitriol right now. Everyone’s upset and everyone wants to do something. And rightfully so.
    Rather than meet violence with violence. Or alienating people out of fear. We need to do what Kirk was doing, unapologetically call out evil, and also treating our opponents with love.

    Charlie Kirk was killed because the radicals/lefties/dems were scared of him .. Kirk was taking away the dems precious young minds .. he was allowing them to see the truth to their follies and did so respectfully, also signed up tens of thousands of new GOPers .. .... It was said today that what Charlie did, is what politics and political speech should be, a battle of ideas and wit/facts, not of bullets ....

    I stand by what I have been saying for years on here. Technology is our demise.

    The internet and 24 hour news/opinion channels have radicalized more people, and faster, than any book or cultist ever could. All these secret apps, the dark web, social media's instantaneous reach, news/opinion networks tailored to unite and divide at the same time.

    I had my Facebook account permanently deleted over 3 1/2 years ago. Just today I got another email from a Facebook lawsuit that was approved for disbursement 4 days ago. This will be damn near the 6th or 7th check I have received from Facebook alone. Have also gotten a few from Google over the same stuff. All due to illegal collection of data.

    What do you think they are/were doing with all of this data?

    I wish all of the social media apps would be disbanded and eliminated. Get a real job and make a living the tried and true way.

    My God, X is absolutely repulsive on what they let users post, Elon Musk has not done anything to curb the hatred and filth spewed on there. I don't even post on it, signed up 2 years ago wanting to follow the lead up to the NFL draft, somehow through a few clickbaits and whatever spy tech they use, "suggestions for you" has turned mostly into political postings.

    As long as these things continue to exist nothing will change.

    I think it was Columbine that started the new way of society in my lifetime. That was the biggest event that I can remember making national headlines and starting the "debates". It has slowly become the accepted normal ever since, and how can someone one up the last one.

    We've done the "love thy enemy" for far too long and look where that's got us. I am radicalized now. I'm more far-right than I've ever been. The only way to fight this now is unrelenting force.

    So in response to this violence more violence will solve the problems? Just kill them all and the problem goes away.

    I agree.

    But what I hear is “lock and load.” Which is ridiculous.

    A drugged up black criminal is killed and Democrats riot and burn buildings.

    A Christian father who debates people is murdered and Republicans stop shopping at Target.

    Different DNA I guess.

    I'm too old and too familar with truly evil humans to think your good will intentions, wonderful in concept, could Ever work. How many times have you read my truth on people.
    We are nothing more than animals. We just have enough brain power to claim our selves to be above our actual animal instincts. It's a fantasy.
    We are territorial, we are violent at our base, we are hunters. I'm not talking as in animals. I'm talking hunters as in stalkers we are always stalking something through our lives , be it cash to relevance. Perhaps " stalker" is a tad too strong but its the only term that pops to mind. We are pack animals. This has really been show cased in our on line media accesss.
    Now in all that, it's in degrees just like say cats or even say cows some are laid back and other are nasty aggressive. Some seek social contact and others don't. Like animals we seek a hierarchical system. You can even show human sexual patterns are similar to animal. Some mate for life most don't....hhhmmm why are divorce rates so high?
    So I can honestly say my stance is far from a fear reaction or even an anger one. It's based in simple reality.

    Not just violence, overwhelming violence. That's how you get out of an ambush, and believe me brother, we are being ambushed.
