Every day, more and more, they reveal themselves.
quote:

University of Rhode Island Professor Erik Loomis appeared to defend the murder of Aaron "Jay" Danielson, the member of the right-wing group Patriot Prayer, during recent social unrest in Portland, Oregon.

In 2012, Loomis came under scrutiny after he called for NRA executive Wayne LaPierre's "head on a stick" following the shooting massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Connecticut.

Now, Loomis is once again under fire after publishing a blog post titled "Why was Michael Reinoehl killed?" Reinoehl is the man suspected of fatally shooting Danielson. Reinoehl was killed as federal authorities tried to arrest him.


quote:

In the comment section of the blog post, one reader challenged Loomis by writing, "Erik, he shot and killed a guy," referring to Reinoehl.

Loomis responded by saying, “He killed a fascist. I see nothing wrong with it, at least from a moral perspective.” He further added that “tactically, that’s a different story. But you could say the same thing about John Brown.”

I'm curious where they have obtained their moral standard and why theirs is superior to one that says murder is immoral.

This is what happens when man's arrogance becomes the foundation of their own code of ethics. Cold-blooded murder becomes defensible based purely on their opinions. This is why nearly every leftist government in history commits mass murder to take power and then spends the waning years of their failed form of government terrorizing, imprisoning and murdering their critics. The very foundation of their ideals is rotten to the core.

This is also why such governments ban Christianity. Don't want people thinking moral relativism is a bad thing.

Difference is KR was self defense, not cold blooded murder.

Nothing wrong with rounding up Jews and undesirables and putting them in camps.

Read the new book The Devil and Karl Marx

You'll understand what is teaching our kids in college these days. Their Moral Standard is the god in hell that they has chosen to follow. That was the first German to destroy millions of lives. There came another and the same ideology is driving a force to feast on millions more.

It is none of what you guys are saying, it is a dehumanizing maneuver to begin to legitimize murder of conservatives

That's easy. Karl Marx. They're all Marxists when you get right down to it.

I'm reading a book on the Spanish Civil War, and the parallels to our times are astounding. But even more interesting is the fact that, up until right at the end of the war, over 70% of American volunteers from the so-called "Lincoln Battalion" were either members of the Communist Party USA, or had been active in the Young Communist League as youths. Many were second generation Communists from secular Jewish parents in New York (always anglicizing their names to fit in). A frightening number had enlisted in various state National Guard units prior to the war on orders from the CPUSA for the express purpose of spreading Marxism among the military ranks and recruiting from within the Army.

The language they used, and ideology tests they applied to everything.... food, sex, clothing, verbal expressions, you name it... would remind you so much of today's ANTIFA radicals. Nothing really has changed much, except their numbers are greater now. The ideals and the language are the same. "Anti-Fascist" was, in reality, just another name for a Communist back then, and I think the same is probably true today.

Even if we were to say that killing fascists is OK, where is the proof the victim was a fascist?

It appears that he killed a random person.

If you think your fellow lefty posters here think any different, you are kidding yourselves.

I've been telling you all for years: As a former Proggy that hung out with the worst of the worst....THEY WANT YOU DEAD. Period.

This is why they have worked so hard to dehumanize you.

He's an idiot.

That said, there were many on this board who saw nothing wrong from a moral perspective with driving over protesters, even if it resulted in their death. Many here have called for a "purge," and it is not uncommon for there to be expressions of violence toward political opponents.

Ain't neither side got the higher ground on this point. Each side has its violent idiots.
