:joker-amerikkklap: things just keep getting worse
It always shocks me that these incidents are not classified as 'terrorism'.
Don't be daft, that'd be silly. Terrorism would require I dunno, these people to be linked by some ideology or another you know? We'd have evidence if, say, all these mass shooters hung about in roughly overlapping online spaces or posted manifestos or messages online laying out why they were doing what they were doing and it was all based on that same ideology...
Like the guy here in the UK that molotoved a refugee detainment centre and then killed himself last month. MPs, the government, & the police all claimed there wasn't any political motivation whatsoever until anti-fascist activists produced hundreds of tweets and online activity talking about killing Muslim refugee children before they take over the country and links to both explicitly racist organisations and racist UKIP/Tory/independent politicitions.
Now the police counterterrorism unit seems to have quietly admitted his ideology and said they're treating it as a terror investigation, but other police statements and politicians are still claiming it was just a confused, mentally ill man and had nothing to do with right wing ideology or their own anti-refugee campaigns that the navy should kill them in the channel before they get here and deport them to Rwanda if they make it.
It's a sick fucking joke.
Bet MI5 was fucking pissed about their nice Lone-Gunman coverup being blown. Anyone want to take bets he was informing on their payroll?
They're still in court denying that the Manchester bomber was not only one of theirs, but that they even knew who he was despite years and years of demonstratable evidence and testimony to the contrary.
Bad news about a potential Labour win...
Before he was parachuted in as a political stalking horse, Starmer spent his time as the inside man at CPS for state intelligence, making sure their operatives got away with proven torture.
He undermined thousands of people's right to fair representation in court with a midnight mass-trial fasttrack, after the riots and talked gleefully about imprisoning and deporting people for crimes as severe as taking baby formula and eating an ice cream without fully paying for it.
He's since supported violent policing against peaceful protesters, wants harsher sentences for climate protests, and tried to force the party to support a bill that would have made not only British soldiers unable to be prosecuted for war crimes and torture, but also police and intelligence service 'assets and informants' unprosecutable for crimes including rape and murder.
His current approach to immigration is being praised as further right than the conservatives by Nigel Farage.
Labour is a right-wing, racist, authoritarian party and Starmer is absolutely one of those gammons. Just look at the colour of the man's face.
every white person in the UK over 45 should be deported to Texas
Hey hey hey. We got enough problems
It really does just boil down to this.
You're a white man in the US? Never gonna be classified as terrorism, even if you had a manifesto detailing political motive.
You could do all that and say, verbatim, on recorded footage of you carrying out the massacre, "boy I do love committing terrorism against blank", and it'll just be a 'lone wolf' incident to be stashed away with the dozens of other 'lone wolf' incidents in the given year.
A white man could do 9/11 and it still wouldn’t be classified as terrorism
You have to blow up a building full of federal agents to be classified as a terrorist as a white man.
Virginia state senator L. Louise Lucas said she "will not rest until we find solutions to end this gun violence epidemic".
:amerikkka-clap:
I love how fucking empty that phrase is. She's not going to work 100 hour weeks with this as her sole focus. She's not even going to cancel her Christmas plans. She will in fact engage in exactly the same amount of rest no matter what happens.
And she'll never, ever link gun violence to poverty and precarity, the prison industrial complex, or a dozen other bedrock parts of America that cause this shit.
Every fucking day I wake up to this shit what the fuck death to america
A night shift employee who spoke with WAVY’s Brett Hall said “thank goodness I showed up late.”

This shithole country is breaking apart and now inflation is coming for people's treats. Pretty soon there's not going to be much exclusive to the burger way of life and people are going to go postal over that.
If it's anything besides corporate ghouls that's gonna be a nah from me dawg.
And I actually find your comments a little more than insensitive. That kind of thinking is fairly repugnant. Mass shootings are a horrible failure of liberalism and stochastic terrorism from the right. Any hint of celebrating them is gross and deserves to be bullied.
Especially Wal-Mart customers. I don't know any bourgeois who do their shopping there. Attacks on working class people are bad.

Maybe we should ban the thing that keeps causing this to happen?

Let me introduce myself.
Outside in the car is this guy's cousin, from a document from the 18th century written by a group of romaboo slave owning aristocrats.
Hey cousin, can I introduce myself too?
