My local gay bar posted on Facebook about a massive increase in harassment, as well as a physical assault on a patron.
Stochastic terrorism.
A trans woman was attacked in Washington last week. People on Facebook are mask off, saying it was deserved.
Is this going to explode into an orgy of violence and then finally die down? Will something bad enough happy than people will be shamed back into calling evil, evil?
There were two separate shootings at homeless camps last week. I barely saw coverage of it.
I feel so much pressure and fear that I can’t think. I don’t understand why people are filled with so much hate. It can’t feel good, can it?
We have our Pride in October because of the summer heat, the board of my organization isn’t worried about booth setup or swag or elevator speeches. They primarily want a map showing every possible exit scenario depending on where a shooter might begin. We are going forward with the expectation that Prides will be more violent. And that breaks my heart.
I mean the worst thing you can do is not do it, because that’s what they want…
Exactly, we’re steeling ourselves but we’re gonna be there come hell or high water. I’m reminding my guys that the first Pride was a riot and the next 20 were protests.
If you’re in an area where open carry is allowed, it may be worth seeing if there is a JBGC nearby that might be open to helping provide security
It’ll take multiple occurrences of a cisgender person being misgendered and shot to death over it for anything to happen and even then it’ll be on the “thoughts and prayers” level of effort as it is with every other shooting that happens near daily here
When I’ve shared articles about cis women being accused of being trans in bathrooms/harassed, the response is always “this wouldn’t have happened if trans women stayed out of women’s bathrooms to begin with.”
They just seem to want to hate.
They are told to hate, so they do… and if you’re looking for something your going to find it
‘Now is not the time to talk about gun control.’
Shame left the building c. 2016
These fucking slack jawed brainlets still haven’t come to terms with the fact that Kirk’s killer was one of their own.
Tyler Robinson was probably a leftist!
/s?
He was raised Mormon in a full MAGA family, and nearly all photos show him surrounded with rifles.
He may have been confused, and I can buy he went libertarian, but if he was a leftist, I’ll eat my hat on camera.
e: oh no, it wasn’t /s, judging by your other comments. That’s just sad.

You seem to be projecting your ‘scream-cry’ onto me, when all I did was give you the statistics you asked for.
I’ll not hold your hand when you can’t click links and read, and I’ll not entertain your childish soliloquies.
Type another inane dissertation all you like – I didn’t sign up here to be an elementary school teacher.
You read the comment thread in which someone else posted links, but not my response to that… Superb
Yea, dismiss my argument and do pretend that you didn’t read the exerts from the bbc article that delved into his presumed beliefs! Kinda happy you fuck off, you have nothing to contribute
Sigh. My comment, my links.
Here, I’ll post it again, since you seem to be a bit in need of coffee or something:
Based on government and independent analyses, right-wing extremist violence has been responsible for the overwhelming majority of fatalities, amounting to approximately 75% to 80% of U.S. domestic terrorism deaths since 2001.
Want to claim the government and independent studies are fake again?
You think I am going to memorize usernames? And why aren’t you responding to my question that I posed to your brilliant argument? Why don’t you think that black people committed this crime? They are statistically more likely to do so
Also, aren’t you the pup who claimed the one source I have been posting again and agaon is not from the bbc…? You are! Who is having issues opening and reading links?
Maybe we should just lie and pretend he was so you people can have something to actually be afraid of.
1 Not an American 2 Not a right winger
There’s a thing called “Poe’s Law” that states “without a clear indicator of the author’s intent, any parodic or sarcastic expression of extreme views can be mistaken by some readers for a sincere expression of those views.”
So your “joke” relies on the idea that zero rightwing nutjobs will read it as encouragement. Which is just highly unlikely.
It’s very difficult to joke about extremism online because there’ll almost always be extremists who take it as encouragement. To them, you’re indistinguishable from any other MAGA supporter.
Its not a joke, on the information available to us I am led to believe that he was a leftist!
What they have in the Us, in terms of political ideologies, cannot be considered leftism by an stretch of the word! Alas, I would have no insecurities if one of my tribesmen were to do something I disagree with
So you’re on the other end of Poe’s law, an extremist with an incoherent viewpoint.
Its extremism to believe that a person on whom all information available points to him leaning to left being someone who leans to the left… I reckon I am an extremist
“All information available” is apparently one BBC article that you keep posting over and over, while calling numerous articles and studies on the ideology of most domestic terrorists “made up,” and the conclusions you draw from your one single source an “assumption.” Gosh that’s some irrefutable evidence you’ve got there chief. 🙄
-Yea, thats all the info we have available! You are welcome to post more, though I reckon you would have if you had any more!
-What studies did I call made up again?
Rightist fake news!
The bbc is now right wing fake news…
- “Robinson’s mother said her son had started to lean more to the left, Utah County Attorney Jeff Gray told a news conference on Tuesday, “becoming more pro-gay and trans-rights orientated””
+2 Proud republican behavior: “Public records reviewed by the BBC suggest Robinson had in the past registered as an unaffiliated, or nonpartisan, voter in Utah. His parents, Matthew Carl Robinson and Amber Denise Robinson, are registered Republicans, according to state records”
+3 Common republican things “Authorities have said the unnamed roommate was a “biological male” who was transitioning from man to woman and was in a romantic relationship with the defendant.”
To your point #3 just because there is a trans person, doesn’t mean they are left wing. See caitlyn jenner
One of the first transpersons I ever met was a loud and proud anarcho-capitalist.
Regardless, overwhelming majority of right wimgers reject and shun transfolk
I haven’t seen any hard evidence he was a full-on leftist, but I haven’t seen any hard evidence he was maga either.
From what I’ve seen, he was definitely left of his parents, but there’s a whole lot of different ideologies to the left of maga.
I think the only way we’ll know for sure his ideology is if he says so.
Bot gotta keep the rubes in line.

Who would axe him? He is a spiritual equivalent of a streamer…
Have you heard Alex Jones lately? Shouting ‘kill, kill, kill’ like a rabid baboon?
There will be more of this.
WHAT THE FUCK!!! Why the fuck are we allowing that motherfucker to still have a platform? Doesn’t he owe billion dollars to some families? Motherfucker needs to be drag off the air and beat to death.
I see you’ve listened to the latest Knowledge Fight.
Yeah, it’s baffling.
No never heard of it. Just know fucker owes a shit ton of money to the Sandy Hook families.
They listen to (and rip apart) Alex’s shit so you don’t have to. It’s quite good, though it may raise your blood pressure.
In the episode from 16 September (second to latest, actually), Alex shouts ‘Kill, kill, kill!’ in reference to the ‘woke trans agenda leftist terrorists’.
Yeah no thanks I have enough rage in my life.
Honestly, that’s a good choice.
Imagine defying the universal odds and getting to be sentient for a blip of existence in a vast, ancient universe and you end up being this fucking loser.
Guy is ugly AF he is peak gooback.
Ya know, back in my Christian days I always thought it was pretty great that the bar for heaven was so low… Now I crave the flame to avoid these fuckwits
Edit: typo
It’s not the point of the article, but this is absolutely not what a “martyr” is. I have the same reaction when ISIS members say they are becoming “martyrs” by suicide bombing groups of civilians. That’s not what the word means, and you’re just becoming a murderer.
The right are stochastic terrorist murderers, and we are the infidels.
This guy represents the entire GOP and is one of their hero’s. They are sad he was not able to complete his mission.
American conservatism is a racist domestic terrorism movement.
I’d say “change my mind”, but you won’t. Because that’s quite literally what it is.
They said it themselves at CPAC a few years back. I’m sure someone has the picture…
He told officers that he did not own a firearm but that he would buy one to shoot up the nightclub.
Okay… so dude calls crisis line to rant and rave and make threats. Cops get called on him. But then you go ahead and tell the cops you’re going go buy a gun to shoot up the club?
You’re in enough trouble as is, shut the fuck up, or actually don’t so you spend more time in jail, but wow. So much fail.
And they let him out on bail. Wtf isnt that at least a 72 hr psych hold?
We had to 86 a guy this weekend. He was a regular, kinda off but never a problem. Well, this weekend he just started going nuts with this shit. Racism, transphobia, conspiracy theories. He was harassing the bartender and the two patrons sitting next to him. Took three of us walking out from the kitchen to get him to move. He was ready to go to war.
49 wow he looks way older
Racism does that to a man
Yeah, damn. He looks like he’s at least ten years older than that.
Danm, it’s a water mark! Was hoping he got his ass handed to him.
Look guys. They caught another Antifa, about to commit political violence against the right. Oh, wait.
Sweet. Someone kill Charlie Kirk again just to piss him off even more.
Bet this guys has so much gay porn on his laptop. They always do.
