He’s right, of course - and it took some political courage for him to say it.

Well, I intend to petition my local government not to allow white males to live in MY neighborhood! Protect America!

Thank you Senator for acknowledging that those are terrorist attacks as well, one’s we see with too much frequency.

Although the Charleston murders can be considered terrorism because of the racial animus of the murderer,a theater shooting by a psychotic person is not equivalent to the Paris killings because there is no political motive behind it, just a distorted reality.

Not all murders are terrorism. Jihadists have a political intent.

So his point is absurdly overdrawn.

Not being from Ohio, I’d kind of forgotten that I like this guy.

Maybe Hillary could consider him for Vice President?

Trump: Senator is correct. Its White Christian Man’s right to commit terror and atrocities. If I am elected, I will ensure that this continues and I will make it easy for them so that they can target Muslims(terrorists), Mexicans (Christians or not) and other non Christians in camps. If The Blacks dont behave, they will join the camps as well.

Awesome to get some perspective on the outsized impact of our domestic terrorists compared to our ‘refugee terrorist problem’. There is an impressive chart depicting what this paragraph states:

“The United States has resettled 784,000 refugees since September 11, 2001,” Newland wrote in a recent op-ed. “In those 14 years, exactly three resettled refugees have been arrested for planning terrorist activities—and it is worth noting two were not planning an attack in the United States and the plans of the third were barely credible.”

Two of the men were indicted and jailed for plotting to send weapons to terrorist organizations in Iraq. One Uzbek man was convicted of terrorism-related charges for possessing explosives and supporting a terrorist organization in Uzbekistan.

The chart is here … you MUST see this:

What we should do is round up all of us white American males and place us in camps so we can be monitored until the threat has passed.

In the Trump GOP world, hysteria and fear trumps facts. Non sense is common sense. Indiscriminate bombing of terrorists that also kills the men, women and children refugees behind whom they shield themselves may be wrong, but it sure makes them feel better.

Watch him get voted out. A huge percentage of the people in the US are spending all their time believing the world is the way they WANT it to be, not the way it actually is. When one points out reality they throw a fit like a 3-year-old.

So true. And I think we should be rounding up all white males between 14 and 30 and send them off to an internment camp until they learn how to be civilized.

He should stay in the Senate. We don’t want to take a favorable senator out of there. Ohio won’t elect a Dem in his place. He’s well respected and that’s why he’s in his seat.

I don’t think murder requires a political motive to be considered terrorism. The motive might be economic, social, psychotic, whatever. Folks are terrified, it’s terrorism.

Anyway, as a white Christian male, it’s off to the internment camp for me to set an example to my brothers with arms.

So it makes a difference if the bullet is in your head or your heart? Do you think that you are more likely to get shot while minding your own business in France than in the US?
