re: Is there any link at all to the outsized "outrage" we see to any "offense"?

At this point in time, words apparently mean more than actions. certain words cannot even be written on this board. Words that are only allowed to be said by select individuals.

While at the same time a person posted on a YouTube page that he was going to be “a professional school shooter”.

There is a huge difference in calling someone a name that may or may not offend them, as opposed to actually saying you plan to inflict bodily damage on a person or group of people.

Not all racists and bigots are murderers or even wish bodily harm to individuals. This Antifa movement is an absolute joke. They preach violence against speech which with they do not agree.

If you just step back and truly watch and see what is going in this world today it is easy to come to the conclusion that half the world is absolutely crazy. Nothing makes sense anymore.
