OT Kansas man accused of fatally shooting Indian engineer after shouting 'get out of my country'

[H.C.]

Well, if you sort by "best" comments, you'll see the majority of the people their denouncing the racist piece of shit for murdering these people.

That's bunk.
If the shoe was on the other foot, most on that reddit would not let a majority of people on the left off so easily.
One person means the entire side is a herd of sheep. Hell that's what it seems like in this OT section at times.
The double standard I see is bunk.

Hell if there was a terrorist attack in the US right now, republicans would cite the need for a ban on muslims. Regardless if the terrorist was from one of those 7 countries or not.
One bad muslim, means they're all bad.
The hypocrisy is real. Bunk.

Reminds me of the primary when republicans & democrats a like said all young people were violent and lived in their mothers basement. OR hey, the protests. A few violent people means everyone involved is violent...
Bunk.

I'd expect the vast majority of Trump supporters to be disgusted by this, but I'd also expect them to be in denial about the cause and effect of Trump's anti-immigrant rhetoric. Trump is activating these shitstains everytime opens his mouth.

What the hell? Some drunk idiot in Kansas is the cause and effect of Trump's immigration orders?

Get outta my face with that. I know you're smarter than this.

Otherwise, I can make a pretty convincing argument that Leftists rioters are the result of 8 years of Obama rule.

There were racists before Trump, and there will be racists after Trump.

His anti-immigration rhetoric is nothing more than upholding CURRENT laws. Not sure why people fail to understand that. You're believing exactly what you're being fed.

People coming into this country, illegally are criminals, plain and simple. There is no other way to look at it. They are violating the law. Now onto the 7-country order, those countries cannot properly vet the people that come into their country so they were put onto a 'list of concern' by Obamas people and Trump took that list and said he does not want those people to come into the US because we cannot vet them properly. Again plain and simple. Lastly, the refugee program was stopped because all of Obamas intelligence heads indicated that ISIS is likely to infiltrate the refugee program and come into the US. Trump agreed and is putting a stop to this.

Trump is doing nothing more than protecting this country from people that want to do us harm. He has repeatedly said that people can come here LEGALLY. There is no anti-immigration rhetoric. This is all made up by the media, and open-border globalists.

Again, there will be racists before and after Trump. They are on both sides of the political spectrum and they will never go away. They are not just all of the sudden here because of Trump. Another media lie.

This. Correct.

If this had been a person of middle eastern descent who yelled, "Allahu Akbar" and then shot 3 white people this would be called a terrorist attack.

This reminds me of a standup skit by Aziz Ansari where he talks about how we focus on blacks and whites and whatever we call those brown people....he's from India and deals with it as a kid who grew up on baseball and hot dogs in North Carolina and grew a sense of humor about it...

1970....Ohio...long before Obama was even grown up...he was 9 when 4 college students were killed by our National Guard at Kent State university

Those were PROTESTERS. Not RIOTERS.

You know "Rioters"....the current Backpack Brigade who destroy property and injure people while hiding their faces like cowards. Those people.

Not unarmed, peaceful college kids at Kent.

 

[riverman]

You know "Rioters"....

you think there were no riots back then? wrong dude...
this one from 1965...Obama 4 years old at the time

You can keep playing this strawman game all you want. You know damned well that there is a difference between:

And this...

Trying to compare the two is an insult to every peaceful protester, such as Dr. King, who has ever made real change in this country through peaceful means.

Candidate/President Trump have been getting people whooped up into a frenzy over immigrants and refugees, calling them terrorists, murderers, and rapists, for two years now. If you don't think the most powerful man in the world is capable of influencing, and emboldening those inclined to nativist or or even racist tendencies to act out violence, then I think you are simply incorrect.

Obama got people whooped into a frenzy over false/exaggerated racism claims, identity politics, and popularity contests. I never heard anyone on the left bitching about that.

calling them terrorists, murderers, and rapists

Obama and Hillary called people on the Right "Bitter Clingers"/"Deplorables"/"Racists", and made every Liberal terrified of white people in fly over states.

If you don't think the most powerful man in the world is capable of influencing, and emboldening those inclined to nativist or or even racist tendencies to act out violence, then I think you are simply incorrect.

Hah. Oh, I know what a president is capable of. I had to put up with Obama's bullshit for 8 years, as you can see.

I ignored it the first time, but do you see how you are contradicting yourself here?

No. I see how you're picking and choosing about what to blame Trump for, while holding Obama blameless for anything.

Do you agree with me or disagree with me that powerful people's words can influence people?

You might want to go bark up the music industry's tree if you're going to bring this argument bro. You're doing exactly what Jade said, picking and choosing what best suits you're argument, while ignoring the shit piles over there.

Without restraint no one can trigger logic. For those of you that like POWER

 

[Jade Falcon]

Do you agree with me or disagree with me that powerful people's words can influence people?

To an extent, I agree with you.

Now, when Trump tells his followers to lynch black people, torture gays, rape women, and murder innocent immigrants, then you can get back to me with how terrible Trump is.

A Kansas man is accused of shooting and killing an Indian immigrant engineer he thought was Middle Eastern and wounding two others after shouting "get out of my country" and opening fire.

Adam Purinton was arrested after fleeing Austin's Bar and Grill, a suburban Kansas City restaurant that was packed Wednesday night when he allegedly blasted off several rounds at 7:15 p.m.

Cops arrested the 51-year-old at an Applebee's hours later in Clinton, Mo., some 80 miles away after they were able to negotiate with him over the phone early Thursday morning.

You seemed to be arguing against my point, while at the same time agreeing with it which was contradictory. I don't think Trump needs to be so explicit to influence people predisposed to doing stupid shit. Perhaps that is our main disagreement.

He totally encouraged his followers to be the bigots that they've become. Absolutely. And you only need to visit the comment section of an article about politics, anywhere, to see this.

What else do you call labeling those on the Right as racists, bitter clingers, and deplorables? Just talk?

So both sides have grievances. I'm under no illusions that there's dumbasses on the Right. So let's not act like it's just one or the other; BOTH sides have arguments.

If anything, I actually blame Bush for starting the identity politics in this country, when he started openly labeling people "Unamerican". But Obama had a chance to stop it and bring the country together, and instead he made it FAR worse.

 

[crandc]

WTF?

People predisposed to doing stupid shit are going to do stupid shit regardless of who's president. Surely you can understand this.

Some people do stupid shit with guns. Am I supposed to blame Wayne LaPierre and the NRA for their stupid behavior?

Of course not.

Sigh. Do I really have to spell it out for you. Jade understood me quite well. Don't play coy.

People in this country sure do have a hard time telling the difference between Indians and Middle Easterners for some reason.

Well, to be fair they do both wear loincloths and live in teepees.
