So after the murders of two men in Portland, after Mark Hokoana and his wife shot a man at the Milo protest, after mosque burnings, Hispanics being assaulted, death and rape threats towards journalists, bomb threats to Jewish centers and dozens of assaults at Trump rallies, the right has finally found a crime committed by a white man that they can say is domestic terrorism. Of course, that's because the shooter happened to be a Bernie Sanders supporter.
So what does this shooting mean? Well to the paranoid lunatics that make up the gun enthusiast community, it means that the civil war they have been salivating for us finally going to kick off. Don't believe me? Head over to any gun enthusiast website, even the ones that are supposedly non political, and have a look at the comments. While there are a fewwho are simply expressing fear and Tealing about how to defend themselves, there's a huge number of folks on there with the attitude of "they shot at one of us, time to kill all of them". I've seen a lot of them advocating for genocide. Now how you commit genocide on a political philosophy as opposed to an ethnic group is beyond me, but they're certainly wanting to give it the old college try.
So to anyone who is going to a pride event, unitarian church, planned parenthood, or Democratic party meeting, be careful. Stay alert, don't feel silly calling the police if you have a bad feeling about someone, better to be embarrassed than dead. Carry pepper spray, and keep your phone charged up.
