Discussion: Pittsburgh Synagogue Shooter Faces More Hate Crime Charges

This guy gives the good synagogue shooters a bad name.

Sounds like one of Doofus* White Supremacists .

A federal grand jury Tuesday added 19 charges to the 44 counts previously levied against Robert Bowers of Baldwin, Pennsylvania.

Instead of piling on one guy, couldn’t we find a few of his Nazi friends and associates to share some of the charges, give a few to whoever sold him the guns.

I thought it was an unspoken agreement that we wouldn’t go overboard mentioning the name of mass killers let alone splashing huge pics of their ugly faces all over the place.

Four mentions of his name in an article that consist so six sentences seems to break that rule. :unamused:

Sounds sort of like what Major League Baseball did in the 1970s or 80s to tamp down on the trend of people (Morganna King, The Kissing Bandit, random sundry White male streakers) from running on to the baseball fields to appear on TV and then on the evening news (or the nascent ESPN, with yuk yuk guys Craig Claiborne and Keith Olbermann making snide remarks and double entendres).

Sigh. Trump in my NYC memory, is a product of the Reagan Era Cult of Celebrity (Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous TV Show, one of the most repulsive TV offerings ever) and the same Tabloid (read Murdoch) adulation that was accorded to another despicable Real Estate personality, one Leona Helmsley. I am sure I sound like an elderly uncle when I was growing up (lecturing us on how safe our location in the World was when he was a kid) but the NYT Sunday Magazine used to be full of dueling full page advertisements by Leona and The Donald, trying to out do one another on how imperious and demanding of their employees they each were.

Fry the bastard.

No, no and no. Your performance art is not welcome when the subject is 13 dead people.
