It’s too bad he didn’t start elsewhere on his list.

In the M’s.

The motives of aggrieved, murdering assholes shouldn’t make any sense to reasonable people.

This was just a second amendment solution to this gentleman’s problems. Why is everyone so upset?

1 / All it proves is that this low-life felon could write some names on a list. Shooting himself shows he had impulse-control and follow-through issues. And bad aim, too.
2 / Perhaps the judge should have had just one door in his home. And more guns.
3 / Even so, to the extent that it makes Mitch McConnell poop more blood and shortens his life is important.

Wasn’t legalization of this kind of murderous rampage-type activity the primary intent of the Second Amendment? The right to bear weapons of mass destruction was intended to assist individuals in taking the self-righteous fight to government officials they were otherwise at the mercy of, and helpless against??

It’s almost, as if, Gov Whitmer’s statements about her GI Joe cosplay fans, walking free and setting a very dangerous precedent were correct. Almost.

Uhde had multiple Facebook pages. On several of them, he posted pro-Trump memes and graphics and shared posts against gun confiscation. One showed Hillary Clinton with duct tape over her mouth.


In another post, Uhde advocated voting for Trump because he is not controlled by government. “Trump is my president,” read another graphic he shared.

I don’t know exactly what’s happening here, but the answer is definitely making it easier to get guns.

Patriot exercises Second Amendment rights to fight back against tyranny, proving that the system works exactly as the Founding Fathers intended.

Perhaps killing a judge and others is Elise Stefanik’s idea of “Phase 2.” Or the next steps after January 6, 2021.

Elise seems to be pro-insurrection, pro-domestic-terrorism, especially with regard to the dangerous people that chanted hang Mike Pence and, using deadly force, got into the US Capitol, resulting in fatalities, including dead Capitol police. Elise and her team have announced that they stand ready to launch a PR campaign to try to minimize the apparent culpability of Republicans who conspired even prior to election day 2020, and then set that plan in motion as January 6, 2021 neared. Siding with conspirators like this is Elise Stefanik’s chosen path even after 18 months!

When people tell you who they are - believe them.

This one I wouldn’t be surprised if there could be a DSM 5 diagnosable condition. Otherwise, that’s a lot of hate and fantasizing murder.

And Republicans will soon scream that all this clear evidence therefore proves this was actually a government false flag operatuon.

You can’t argue with this level of stupid and depravity.

“Trump is my president."

1 / Felons of a feather flock together. Definitely a white supremacist with not a scintilla of anything superior about him.
2 / Really, this guy is another uneducated white-trash loser looking for meaning and finding it in guns, grievances, and hatred of Others. Perfect role model for the NeoConfederate GQP. Maybe he went to church a few times.
3 / How was this multi-criminal able to qualify for gun purchases? The Founders wanted that? Says who?

And fewer doors, too. Judges must learn to live in underground bunkers.

Hatred seems to be pretty deeply burned into some people’s psyches. What would it take to humanely and safely deprogram 27%-30% (or more) of the population? Assuming that liberalism and a more considerate and compassionate majority were in control of the levers of power.

Is there a plan because it will take some kind of intervention for a not insignificant minority and if we ignore the problem, we’d be liable to be blindsided by it, even if we got some of what we wanted on the legislative side tomorrow.

So, about that "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State" part of the 2nd Amendment…

I think it’s perfectly obvious what the politicians on the hit list had in common. They had all been publicly criticized by Trump.

Of course this is snark. We all know that the 2nd Amendment was to ensure a well regulated militia, armed with muskets. And perhaps to also act as ae militia in the South kept the slaves in order.

But, on the other hand, we also know that the Radical Supreme Court has chosen to interpret the Amendment differently and wrongly.
