Two more idiots will probably lose their gun rights.

Now, now, let’s not be too hard on these guys. They were, after all, targeting a Pokémon competition.

No love for pikachu any more?

I thought the love for rats was universal.

I say we let them off the hook with just probation, as long as they agree to wipe out a Furry convention and a Brony convention instead.

Call it Community Service.

My kids love Pokemon. Do you think somebody’s particular innocuous hobby should be grounds for slaughter?

Thank God these dumbasses left public warnings about their intentions. What a strange world we now live in where foiled mass murders are treated as a subject for jokes.

Please report to HQ immediately to have your snark meter adjusted. Either that, or buy a sense of humor.

These two Iowans drove all the way to Boston, packed high powered deadly weapons in their car, tried to register at a card-game conference for kids and young adults and their parents, got turned-away because of these idiots’ own threatening posts on some interenet site.

Now a judge has bound them over with high bail for a dangerousness hearing a week from tomorrow.

I think these two Iowans will not enjoy the hospitality of the Suffolk county jail as much as they did the Red Roof Inn where they were staying for the last 3 nights. Of course, they will never see their weapons again, ( and I bet they paid a lot of money for that stash.)

Of course, the interstate nature of this crime, (traveling from Iowa to Mass and making terrorist threats before they came), might make them eligible for 20-30 years in a Federal prison somewhere.

I suppose they wouldn’t have been let into the Iowa state fair last week, where they could have had some other Republican characters as targets, not just playing card characters. They missed their chance to be really really famous.

No actually your joke isn’t funny or snarky. Maybe think before you comment on the internet and make yourself look like a jerk.

Your faux outrage has been duly registered.

Now take one of your pills and lie down for a while.
