re: California emergency room doctor murdered because he had "white privilege"

You are the definition of a Narcissist. You contradict everyone because you think you are smarter and wiser than everyone and the fact that you are a liberal

Or how about, he just disagrees?

And Hank is clearly not a political liberal. He is a conservative.

Keep in mind he said he observes threads and when he see views being made that HE judges as wrong he swoops in to provide justice.

What a stupid point. All of the argumentative posts on this board are from people who see posts with which THEY disagree and then argue about.

Do you think it more reasonable that Hank should argue against things with which he agrees? This gets funnier the more I think about it.

Hanks says it was the bikers fault for running a stop sign.

No he didn’t. You are either a fool, or you are being juvenile.

Sure he did. You a literal woman?

You are a caricature.

You are probably correct. Los Angeles LEOs are probably lying about the evidence they have been able to gather thus far.

Look man...

I'm completely over this crap. If you want to play board contrian then keep doing that by all means. But what you aren't going to do is put straw man arguments into people's posts and then act morally superior when you out argue the straw man.

People can't even discuss news of interest without you derailing the thread and arguing with yourself in the quotes. Stop doing it.

He enjoys the spotlight. It's why he came back after a year long suspension.

My only question is whether "race" was the precipitating factor in this attack, or merely incidental.

---

Hold on Hank. I’ve been with you so far in this argument, but race was clearly not incidental. It was, at best, a strong factor and at worst, the main cause.

---

I suppose it depends upon what one means by "incidental."

My point was not whether "race" was "incidental" in the final assault (clearly it was more than that, if one believes the 2nd- and 3rd-hand reports that he screamed about "White Privilege").

My point was that "race" may have been "incidental" in INITIATING the sequence of events. For instance, if some minor traffic-related infraction sent the motorist into a fit of "road rage," it seems doubtful that the race of the cyclist was a major contributing factor in STARTING the conflict. To the contrary, it would have been his ACTIONS (no matter how innocuous).

As to the post-ramming (hand-to-hand) assault, I tend to agree with you (subject to the same assumption re "White Privilege").

The words "conservative" and "liberal" are meaningless these days.

Years and years ago, I used the term "small/limited government conservative" to describe my views regarding the appropriate scope of government. The problem is that the SAME WORD ("conservative") is used to describe the absolutely AUTHORITARIAN veiwpoints of the "social conservatives," so I discarded the use of the word "conservative" from any description of my views. Now, I use "limited government advocate" to describe essentially the same views.

Ideologically on social issues, I fall soundly in the mainstream of libertarian thought, which basically places me Right of most "liberals" and Left of most "conservatives."

It is not a simple, binary matter and does not lend itself to Red or Blue team jerseys, so simpletons have difficulty grasping it.

Case in point.

"Disagree with me? I need not explain myself or be persuasive in any way. I will just hurl a childish insult and harvest the upvotes."

That sort of thing would get him laughed off of any forum on which his views are not in a monumental majority. And he knows this, which is why he and those like him hide here in their safe space.
