Trump: If this guy was a Muslim, I would be leading in polls. He has to be a Muslim.
White guy with a hot temper who likes to assault and threaten people? Sounds like a future republican nominee.
Talk about rough trade—whew!
I’m sure he was just going hunting or to target practice.
I actually saw that “just target practice” excuse on my Facebook page last night. I posted an anti NRA anti assault style weapon rant and lost 18% of my “friends” by this morning. If I keep that up no Republican will want to be my friend! Sad!
There are nuts of every flavor out there.
Another perfectly legal product, accompanied by warnings that if detonated in an enclosed metal container, the result will be shrapnel, so please please please don’t ever ever do that.
Rep. Pete Sessions (R-TX) reportedly argued that LA Pride, the Los Angeles parade, was a “young person’s pride parade” rather than a gay pride parade.
“It is a young person’s parade, I’m told. And there will be some gay people there, but it will be mostly Latinos," Sessions offered.
Sessions’ communications director, Caroline Boothe, said the quotes were correct but “taken out of context without the background information.”
“What my boss meant to say was that there won’t be only gay individuals at the parade, but people from all walks of life will be present,” Boothe said. “But no sensible and self-respecting God-fearing Republicans, of course. As recent events show, one never knows when the wrath of our loving God might rain lead where abominations have gathered.”

This is fucking terrifying. This man lives in Jeff, which is a mile from downtown Louisville. The Kentuckiana (Kentucky-Indiana) Pride Festival is this weekend.
An Indiana man who said he was headed to a gay pride event had… 15 pounds of chemicals mixed and ready to explode.
Alone, each item found in Howell’s car might not indicate anything sinister, Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Keith Schwartz said.
True, I suppose a great many people are driving around with 15 pounds of explosives in the trunk, mixed and prepped to the "ready to detonate" stage. This is 2016 United States. Nothing to see here, move along..............had a loaded assault rifle with magazines rigged to allow 60 shots to be fired in quick succession
Clearly, they think most people wouldn’t understand the significance of duck taping two magazines together unless the reason for doing so is explained to them.
Well not the taped magazines thing again? That’s been a canard for a long time. The upper of an AR-15 or M-16 has a magazine port that holds the magazine in via a spring loaded detent. It clicks in and is button released. But that latch is not intended to hold the weight of taped magazines. You could be in a rock and roll situation and find your magazine dropping out. Not good.
I never saw this done in Vietnam for that reason. We did use “100 MPH tape” to mount extra magazines on our thighs but I never joined them. You can dump an empty magazine and rip free a full one from your leg in just seconds. So why the risk? I think this as wipe watched too many Rambo movies.
Yeah, with friends like that… I have to keep my FB posts pretty sterile for business reasons. Funny stuff and family news are about the only options. Respectful, intelligent discourse among differing opinions doesn’t really exist much any more. (Not that FB is a really great venue for that.)
The NRA will surely find a way to provide pro bono counsel to this unjustly persecuted young man.
For all the angst and drama I read and hear of Facebook causing I marvel that people partake of it. Who cares what you’re having for lunch? And your grandkids are not at all interesting. Your cats and dogs look like every other damned cat and dog. If I cared about your fricking wedding pictures I’d have come to the ceremony in person instead. You vacation in pedestrian venues. Congratulations, you have a shiny motocycle, please don’t wear a helmet. In summation, go away. And take your photo of fricking pita bread and house salad with you.
Or too many computer games. Six of one.
For a civilian to have a weapon rigged as such, “it suggests his purposes are deadly.”
Forget “rigged as such”, civilians do not need access to these types of weapons, full stop. Count me in the gun grabber column. These are tools of war and have zero place in society.
Obviously hadn’t been assimilated.
I trust that when this fine, upstanding, white man is exonerated he will have all of his legally acquired peace-keeping tools returned to him, so he can go on his way.
