Hate crimes? Naw, America is too full of love. They'll even fight to the death to protect their love for the 2nd amendment! |

Quite fitting I thought considering your constant total lack of such and I'm sure that it hurts as it is another true and inconvenient fact for you and your ilk seeing as your mob has killed more school children in this year alone than the IRA ever did (it's been 17yrs since the last IRA bombing, the same can't be said about the last time that U.S. kids were killed by some 2nd Amendment nut case). ;-)Hate crimes? Naw, America is too full of love. They'll even fight to the death to protect their love for the 2nd amendment!Nice note of empathy there......I'll use it next time the IRA bombs some schoolchildren......... Have you heard of the word "hypocrite"? |

Ah, news media GAB, founded in 2016 by pro-Trump conservative Andrew Torba seems to have an issue with all the companies it needs to spew its hate. I just wonder why that could be ... |

There have been several instances where it has been said that an armed citizen in the right place at the right time has prevented serious injuries, however that is an exception rather than the rule as this now proves: "The president suggested yesterday that if only there had been an armed guard inside the synagogue, then it all might have been different. Well forgive me for saying, but four heavily armed and extremely well trained SWAT team officers went in and were shot trying to stop the carnage. You think one guy with his prayer book in one hand and a revolver in the other would have made the difference?" Next excuse! |

That 2nd Amendment to the Constitution is sure getting put to use. What was those mottos of the hippies? "Love is all you need" "Make love not war" That 2nd Amendment sure gets a lot of love! |

You think one guy with his prayer book in one hand and a revolver in the other would have made the difference? Possibly, if he was trained, as the terrorist (yes that is the proper term) would not be expecting that, but this is missing the point, I think, the point instead being that it's madness to suggest that citizens should be armed and fearing for their lives everywhere. Doing so in a place of worship is something expected from Baghdad, Saudi Arabia etc. where sectarian violence is unfortunately a way of life, not the United States. And yet still no mention of the "t-word" anywhere in his charges: Bowers was charged with 11 state counts of criminal homicide, six counts of aggravated assault and 13 counts of ethnic intimidation. He was also charged in a 29-count federal criminal complaint that included counts of obstructing the exercise of religious beliefs resulting in death -- a federal hate crime -- and using a firearm to commit murder. Terrorism is the use of violence for political ends/objectives. I don't think this could get much more accurate of a definition... Ah, right... silly me. |

Presence of a gun stopped this crime cold! An off-duty Los Angeles County sheriff's deputy was sleeping in his vehicle when he was assaulted and robbed overnight Saturday in Santa Ana, authorities said. |
