When you get to college you need to peel back the comforter of your roommate. If there is a bedsheet on top of the fitted sheet and under the comforter, report them to the authorities immediately
I think we found the real criminal here.
The flat sheet is to keep your nasty body from dirtying up the comforter, which is harder and more expensive to clean. Ours is way too big for a standard washing machine and costs like $45 to bring to the cleaners.

Since you're addressing me without quoting me, some quick things. I work in the mental health field, I've seen my fair share of crazy working inpatient and outpatient. And it isn't exclusive to any specific political ideology.
I also have family in coal mining and the railroad for several generations back. I had family at Blair Mountain. I have folks in my family that have had a long list of rightful grievances with the government (Democrat or Republican). I've lived here in Louisville through the Breonna Taylor protests, National Guard called in, folks died.
You have no idea what I've personally seen or experienced. Or even where I fall on the political spectrum (because some of y'all are really good at blanket statements). What I also know is that a lot of the folks calling for a Civil War aren't ready for that either. But I know I will do what I need to do to protect my own and I'm prepared for that. Feel free to take that as you will.

I don’t necessarily disagree, but given the vitriol that’s been spewed in the last 48 hours from people in academia over Kirk’s death, I don’t think it’s fair to rule it out
There are definitely many that try to push it in their classes and on campuses. I just think for the most part students drown out anything that isnt relevant to passing the course. Now kids are in voice chats for hours a day with "friends" halfway across the country and participated in echo chambers like reddit subs or the poli board and they take it all to heart

Naw death row inmates are kept out of gen pop.
He killed a high value political target. He'll likely go to Supermax in Colorado if he gets federal charge. Then be locked in a windowless room for 23 hours a day.
I'd rather face the firing squads of Utah than Supermax. Either way he's got a fricked up life coming to him. He should get death penalty. But who knows that's rarely used these days.

Is this a very hard shot from that distance? I'm not familiar with rifles. Could a hunter make that shot or would you have to be trained?
At that distance and point of aim, it's a standard shot that millions of North American outdoorsmen make every single year, millions of times over. So, no, not an extraordinary feat at all. Quite common, and, actually, about the norm.
If he was aiming for the neck, which I doubt he was, then that makes the shot more difficult, but by no means is it a feat to accomplish. I could easily put a 5 shot group into a human neck sized target from 200 yards away with a good rest like he had, and while I consider myself a good shot with a rifle, by no means am I a remarkable talent.

High power scopes make this shot exponentially easier. 30-06 ballistically is dead on at 100 yards. The bullet rises a bit when fired, becomes dead on at 100 yards. at 200 yards bullet has dropped approximately 3 inches Depending on the (grain) weight of the lead. Maybe why he was shot in the neck instead of the head. The neck is not an ideal aiming point because it is narrower than the head. Think "Aim small miss small"

There’s plenty of vitriol spewed from both sides. There’s some folks on the other side who have been absolutely itching to start another Civil War. I know I’ll get downvoted for saying it. But it’s the truth.
Everyone has contributed to the shitty discourse that has created a gap that I fear won’t be crossed in civility anytime soon
I dont see how anyone can deny this.
Well unless they have a goal besides honesty.

So....your working theory in all of this is that he was brainwashed by the extremist Leftists/Democrats who want to end the personal ownership of firearms, and who think guns are evil, and that led to him thinking firearms are the solution?

Not using a top sheet is nasty.

Dad must have taught him how to shoot.
A few midwestern/western states, especially if you live in more rural areas, having shooting incorporated in the physical education curriculum as well. I wouldn't be surprised if Utah does. You also get a lot of conservationists that are also hunters out that way, due to proximity to rural areas/national parks/etc.

Antifa types arent against firearms. I dont understand how you people dont understand this yet.

Leftists don’t have a problem killing people with guns. What are you talking about?

Period. End of story. There's a difference between this kid and some kid in the loony bin.
And it isn't exclusive to any specific political ideology.
Not one person is saying only a democrat can be a lunatic. Stop trying to shape the narrative on a made up point. Only you are arguing this.

It really doesn't matter, because no one made any assumptions on your life story. It's irrelevant to the conversation at hand. We just watched a man get assassinated because of intolerance of his viewpoints. Tone it down. Read to comprehend instead reading to reply.

I tend to lean this way as well. These kids are already being indoctrinated at an early age. By the time they get to college they are seeking out approval.
Saw a lot of this at my high school

I grew up in WV. My father had time in the coal mines, I had many uncles who had time or whole careers in the coal mines, and I currently have 2 cousins in the coal mines. The union loving Democrats of the early and mid 1900s in the Virginia, WV, Kentucky, Ohio, and PA coal fields are not anything close to the national Democrats across this country today.

think the larger problem on the left is you have moderate Democrats (that really are moderate) and then a sect of the party that has been co-opted by folks like the "Free Palestine" crowd and have pushed for a focus on extreme minority populations and the like. And it's just gotten more extreme from there.
we 100% agree. And when that happens the leaders/politicians of said party (regardless of which) need to publicly take them to the mat for it. It doesn’t happen and that’s why we’re here.
The partisan divide fueled by cable and other media are contributors
I have an older friend that I consider a decent person and compassionate man in most ways but he's totally different when politics are involved. His news source is primarily MSNBC with a sprinkling of NPR stuff. Because he just watches those sources he's become radicalized.
What do I mean by radicalized? He believed (before and after the shooting happened) that it would be a good thing if Trump were shot and killed.
This is a mainstream guy who has lost his ethical and cultural values because he consumed nothing but one political version of reality and morality.
Certainly there are hardliners on the right who are dangerous but it isn't okay to want to jail or assassinate your political opponents. And the mainstream media need to reverse course and firmly declare those values. It is inadequate to say it is wrong but the person who you oppose brought violence on themselves by saying things you deplore.
