Arizona Congresswoman + Six Others Shot and Killed

[Olo401]

I don't know what's more disgusting - the fact that the GOP/Tea Party are actually trying to push that this maniac was a leftist, or the fact that they and their supporters CONTINUE to use and applaud the same vitriolic hate speech that incited this massacre and other acts of violence over the past 2-3 years.

Has anyone looked at this?

She is subscribed to two people. One of of those people is the guy that shot her in the head.

[Chun Liroy]

And a new wrinkle appears!

[Franzer]

Welp inc sex scandal, said she couldn't be with him, he didn't like it, went on shooting rampage.

[Correction]

I suspect shenanigans on that subscription, someone hacked a password from her staffer in charge of managing her social media and subbed as a prank. Politicians are rarely the ones updating their own Twitter, etc.

[Olo401]

..or someone on her staff subscribed to the shooter's channel once it got out into the public? Who knows.

[Chun Liroy]

Why would they subscribe? You don't beed to subscribe to view videos

Some obvious questions arise as a result

If you can prove she was subscribed to him before he shot her in the head, then yes some very obvious questions arise.

But as it is, you have no idea whether the infinitely more likely circumstance that she didn't subscribe to his youtube channel until after this incident occurred.

So this is just dumb.

They would get email updates if something new was posted.. of course it wouldn't be the actual shooter posting but a potential accomplice.

you want us to be called...the United States of Americans? and we are the dumb ones? Damn that south africa, how dare they call themselves south african, what about lesotho, swaziland, botswana, etc!

Nitpicking and slightly off-topic, Spanish and Portuguese don't call you "Americans" (Estadounidense, Estadunidense), nor Quebec French either (états-unien). A good amount of people in the world don't mix the whole continent with your country.

[Pirian]

So what are they literally calling us, statians?

They're also calling us dense. (Estadounidense)

Yes, I really am that much of a movie geek that I pulled this reference out of my ass.

If you're being serious: there is no literal translation.

No more disgusting than the Democrats/Liberals trying to push that this guy was a righty.

Ok for me, but not for thee...right?

[Kuya]

I suppose the idea that he was a lefty strikes a bit more dishonest given that this guy is raving about currency, and that as an alleged lefty he decided to kill a democrat over say, a republican.

But the right in America is very good at maintaining contradicting ideas.

Take a second to absorb some other part of the text other than "right" and maybe you'll understand the assertion.

No more disgusting than idiots like you saying things like "the same vitriolic hate speech that incited this massacre" despite there being no established link between the two. I do not in any way condone or defend said speech, but you are just as disgustingly wrong here as they are and are using the event to support your own opinions. In short, shut the fuck up, olo.

[archibaldcrane]

But he did list the communist manifesto as one of his favorite books.

Neither label is particularly honest given the fact that the left-to-right spectrum doesn't handily fit most people's issues on every topic.
