    F*ck the NRA. Did they forget to “rise up against tyranny?” You know, the ONE THING they’ve been jerking themselves purple about for the last 50 years?

    Notice how they call for an investigation. Rather than go full blown “see I told you so”. If it was Obamas ICE they would go full dummy red scare mode commie mode

    I think the killing was rehearsed. Not necessarily for Alex specifically.

    1] The shooter stares continuously at the disarmer placing his hand on, then removing Alex’s gun. This lasts for multiple seconds.

    2] The shooter maintains arm-to-arm contact with the disarmer, a move commonly taught so you know where your partner is and what they’re doing.

    3] The shooter pauses before drawing his own gun. When he draws it coincides the disarmer removing Alex’s gun

    4] Upon disarm, the disarmer immediately turns around and runs. They don’t pause when the shooting starts

    5] Upon disarm, the shooter immediately fills the space left by the disarmer.

      Oh, yeah, the way they backed up into an evenly spaced semi-circle, and started shooting? That was totally trained and rehearsed.

      So was the Good shooting. He walked all the way around the car with his phone, waiting for it to move, so he could start shooting. The moment she did, he calmly shifted the phone to his left hand, and calmly drew his weapon. He was waiting for the right moment, and when she moved the car, he started killing, with a coup de grace to the temple after she posed no danger.

      Someone gave the orders to train these guys this way, and ordered them to deploy these tactics in the field. Bovino, Noem, Lewandowski, Miller, and Trump were ALL aware of this strategy, approved it, and sent the orders to follow it. They wanted to send a message and intimidate Americans from protesting.

      It backfired badly. We aren’t German citizens in the 1930s, still recovering from getting shellacked in WW1. Americans have been raised on fables of revolutions, and whooping the most powerful army on the planet. American protesters don’t get intimidated, they get furious, and then they get ferocious.

      MAGA has created a monster, and it is only going to grow bigger with each atrocity. Go ahead, try to suspend elections, we dare you.

    If people are saying you can’t bring concealed carry somewhere, of course they’re jumping in. They know what that leads to.
