"Malcolm Hooper Kerr was a university professor specializing in the Middle East and the Arab world. An American citizen, he was born, raised, and died in Beirut, Lebanon. He served as president of the American University of Beirut until he was killed by gunmen in 1984."
I see. I thought he was a diplomat. Funny how his father was a world-traveling scholar, and now his son is a bubble-living hypocrite.
What? You're shaming people for saying they will respond only after learning more about a situation for speaking on it?
You'd rather they be like the dumbass in the whitehouse and spout off nonsense only to be corrected 2 minutes later?
He hasn't said that. In fact, like you, he's gone off on some "orange man BAD!" rant every chance he's gotten.
What a ridiculous notion.
His father was killed by two gunmen and his team has personally been involved in multiple public barbs with Trump. He absolutely has grounds to speak upon it. And everything he has said about both issues have been absolute FACTS. And any of his opinions are justified with FACTS. Just do a tiny bit of research and you'll see that.
His brother in law is actually a professor on Chinese studies and wanted to get all sides of the story before speaking up.
Gimme a fucking break. The level of partisan discord in this country has me so worried. This is Trumpism 101 when you start shaming people for stuff like this.
Oh pull your fucking Huggies up. You Liberals do not have the monopoly on morality and facts in this country, so get over yourself. There is
NO FACTS when it comes to gun control, especially when they come out of Michael Bloomberg's asshole instead of someone like Massad Ayoob, who has spent his entire life teaching and studying the issue of firearms and self defense. And if Kerr was so concerned with
gun safety, he'd go join up and volunteer with the Eddie Eagle program for Gun Safety, or he would teach firearms classes about
gun safety. But no.....he cares about
gun CONTROL, not gun SAFETY, and you fucking know it.
My grandfather served in the Army and fought with distinction in Korea, in fact, he was decorated with Valor for it....but that doesn't give me grounds to speak on issues of being in a war zone or being a soldier, any more than Kerr has grounds to speak on gun control. But I will say this: I've spent the past 15 years of my life studying firearms, firearm laws, ammunition, and the Use Of Force Continuum....I would destroy Kerr in a debate about guns in this country, and I don't even consider myself an expert. Having a father who was assassinated (and I'm sympathetic to him for that) no more makes him knowledgeable on firearm issues than having a sister makes me knowledgeable on women's issues.
But all of this is besides the point. He can't get pissy about Trump's supposed infringements on people's rights and Trump being a PRESUMED dictator every chance he gets.....and then willfully play the "well, the world is a grey place" deflection card when confronted about China's VERY WELL KNOWN and FACTUAL brutality and communist dictatorship. It doesn't work that way. The man is a hypocrite and an elitist who picks and chooses facts based on feelings instead of logic. And he absolutely deserves to be shamed for it.
He said NOTHING about china all he said was president trump sucks and gun control issues. Go to the thing sly posted and tell me where he actually addressed China...?
This. And I find it funny that of all the people in the NBA, only Kerr and Pops are insecure about the President, which is proof that 1) they shouldn't be taken seriously about anything, and 2) TDS is real.
I think you are underreporting it. There have been 283 mass shooting incidents in 270 days. There are on average around 13,000, non suicide gun deaths on intent per year (this comes to 35 deaths per day). On average, he is right, there is a mass shooting per day. Death by gun violence are much higher.
Take out gang shootings and that number drops by half. It's even more startling when you realize that guns account for less than 1% of the total number of deaths in this country per year.
