At least by this rendering, this dad wasn't encouraging his son to be violent with their sharing of hunting, he was trying to connect with his son's self esteem, trying to make him more secure when confronting his fears and the bullying he's said to have been haunted by.

Violence = behavior involving physical force intended to hurt, damage, or kill someone or something.

Killing is violence... it's done that way on purpose... bullets are just speedy violence... in terms of the victim's lifespan... usually. Even when you're talking about deer.

Adam Lanza's mom said the same thing about bonding over firearms with her kid... then there was that 20-year-old republicl0wn fella... yeah share a common interest... the power to kill something.

Hmmmm... seems to me if you want to avoid your child wanting to get through the rageful hormones phase in life... you know when their brains aren't fully developed... some things can wait... like bonding with lethal weapons... killing something together...

Ironically the same folks willing to give an assault-style weapon to a person with a not yet fully developed brain get all upset when parents allow gender transition ... why? Because it's potentially harmful to the person whose brain isn't fully developed... doh!.. or whatever line of reasoning outside something biblical... smh

It's the life-altering decision thingies...

On the other hand... a 14-year-old shouldn't terminate a pregnancy... don't get me started about what drugs can do to the undeveloped brain... not to mention all the information they have access to at all times right there on their phone... but let's not worry about the killing tool thingie... it's sort of ironic... and confusing.

When I was a kid we worried more about getting through a phalanx of infectious or self-inflicted diseases...

From Organ's non-link, the REST of the story:

Of the 8,700 protest events reported by MCCA members, 3,692 involved unlawful acts of civil disobedience. Five hundred of these occurred in a single city. Eight of the reporting cities - Columbus, Denver, Detroit, Memphis, Portland, Sacramento, San Diego, and Tucson - said that every protest during the May 25 to July 31 period involved unlawful but non-violent acts. Some of these protests may have also involved violence. MCCA reports that 574 of the protests it studied involved violence. One city accounted for 100 of these riots.

Looting and arson were common during the period studied. The 68 cities and counties reported that they experienced 2,385 incidents of looting and 624 incidents of arson, including 97 police vehicles burned.

More than 2,035 law enforcement officers were injured at the protests and riots during the time frame studied.

So, 8700 protests resulted in "more than 2035 leo injuries" a ratio of 4.28 cop injuries per protest.

140 leo's were injured during ONE protest on January 6th, 33 TIMES MORE than George Floyd inspired protests.

Now tell us stunod, which incident was statistically more harmful to police, a single Floyd protest or one single Trump protest?

Another impressive display by the noxious orange pedo's goons.

I am truly not one who's disinterested in the heartbreaking tragedy of school shootings, especially when we know what keeps them from happening in nearly every other civilized nation on this planet. When we hear a child had access to a weapon originally designed for warfare, it simply makes no sense, and we immediately blame the parent(s) for allowing it to happen.

I wanted to hate Colin Gray, but after only reading a couple paragraphs I came to an unmistakable conclusion: Except for the fact this father didn't make a habit of locking down all his weapons as a matter of practice - especially since his son showed obvious troubling signs - Colin was just a single dad trying to deal with a son challenged by mental health issues. Or in other words, a simple father dealing with all the cards life has dealt him in the best way he knows how.

At least by this rendering, this dad wasn't encouraging his son to be violent with their sharing of hunting, he was trying to connect with his son's self esteem, trying to make him more secure when confronting his fears and the bullying he's said to have been haunted by.

Let me be clear: Colin Gray deserves to be held responsible for his role in allowing his son access to a weapon he took to school and killed and injured innocent children and teachers who'd never done Colt any harm.

Having said that, I can still see myself in his shoes playing the cards I was dealt, and honestly - knowing how much you want to love and encourage your child when they have mental health struggles - there but for the grace of God,... under similar circumstances, it could have been my child.

@#15 ... Trump is MIGA ...

Yeah, for starters, maybe stop with the obscure acronyms.

World Bank Group Guarantees simplify access to financial guarantees for development projects in emerging markets.

... the Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA), and the World Bank -- for efficiency, simplicity, and speed. ...

What else yer got?


It's called "sanewashing" and the MSM have been doing it to Trump's benefit and the country's detriment for years:

Four years ago, in an article for Media Matters for America, I warned that journalists were sanitizing Donald Trump's incoherent ramblings to make them more palatable for the average voter. The general practice went like this: The press would take something Trump said or did"for instance, using a visit to the Centers for Disease Control to ask about Fox News's ratings, insult then"Washington Governor Jay Inslee, rant about his attempt to extort Ukraine into digging up dirt on Joe Biden, and downplay the rising number of Covid-19 cases in the U.S."and write them up as The New York Times did: "Trump Says People Have to Remain Calm' Amid Coronavirus Outbreak." This had the effect of making it seem like Trump's words and actions seemed cogent and sensible for the vast majority of Americans who didn't happen to watch his rant live.

Flash-forward to today, and it's clear this problem has only worsened. As Trump's statements grow increasingly unhinged in his old age, major news outlets continue to reframe his words, presenting a dangerously misleading picture to the public. . . .

This "sanewashing" of Trump's statements isn't just poor journalism; it's a form of misinformation that poses a threat to democracy. By continually reframing Trump's incoherent and often dangerous rhetoric as conventional political discourse, major news outlets are failing in their duty to inform the public and are instead providing cover for increasingly erratic behavior from a former"and potentially future"president.

Yup.

This isn't the win, whoever put the headline up thought it was.

FTA:

America's 17 million-strong veteran community is traditionally more likely to vote for Republican candidates but polls suggest their enthusiasm for Trump is waning.

The former president won a 61 per cent share of this vote in 2016 but only 54 per cent in 2020. In a Change Research survey released this week, support for Trump among veterans was down to statistical coin toss at 51 per cent.

The military vote is of outsized importance in the five key swing states. There are nearly 800,000 veterans in Pennsylvania, more than 550,000 in Michigan and 283,000 in Wisconsin. Arizona has more than 450,000 and Nevada more than 200,000.

"There's no question in my mind there's been a shift," said Fred Wellman, a US army combat veteran with VoteVets, a veterans' advocacy group and political action committee.

"The Arlington debacle was different," Wellman said. "Even my non card-carrying vet friends who water-ski on weekends rather than pay attention to politics were deeply offended. Arlington is sacred."


NPR is reporting the names of the two Trump campaign officials who harrassed the ANC employee:

Trump deputy campaign manager identified in Arlington National Cemetery dustup

One of two staffers involved in the altercation at Arlington National Cemetery is a deputy campaign manager for Donald Trump's reelection bid, NPR has learned. The former president insisted this week the incident did not happen, highlighting a growing disconnect between the messaging of the candidate and his campaign. NPR is identifying both staffers after the campaign's conflicting responses to the incident last week outside Section 60 of the cemetery, where many casualties of Iraq and Afghanistan are buried.

The two staffers, according to a source with knowledge of the incident, are deputy campaign manager Justin Caporale and Michel Picard, a member of Trump's advance team.
