Oh, I totally believe this happened, exactly as described here. I'm so absolutely certain of it. Of course I wouldn't have believed it if you didn't have the unmatched credibility that you have, but obviously that's not an issue here. You're another virtual Guno.

shouted something similar to: "[insert over-hyped, exaggerated misquote here]" according to The Associated Press.
Why is this fake news being presented? Is there some sort of argument being attempted?
That doesn't even tell us the number of crimes. It only reports on the number reported to the police. At no time in US history were all crimes reported to the police. The FBI takes that into account with their Victims survey which shows that 2023 saw a drop in violent crimes from 2022.

Wait just one cotton-picking minute. Are you saying that statistics, however presented, can be disputed? Now I have to go back and reexamine every leftist anti-gun post with this new perspective.
Wow. You make a great point. All leftist anti-gun rhetoric is crap. Thanks. You've opened my eyes.
Yes, the pièce de résistance, crime actually is reduced, not increased, with increased firearm ownership by law-abiding citizens. You've given me a new way of looking at things.

Just mention the FBI and i'm not taking numbers seriously... I'm sure you can understand that...That doesn't even tell us the number of crimes. It only reports on the number reported to the police. At no time in US history were all crimes reported to the police. The FBI takes that into account with their Victims survey which shows that 2023 saw a drop in violent crimes from 2022.

Man accused of attacking TV reporter, saying 'This is Trump's America now'
Court documents show a Colorado man is facing possible bias-motivated charges for allegedly attacking a television news reporter after demanding to know whether he was a citizen, saying “This is Trump’s America now."apnews.com
DENVER (AP) — A Colorado man is facing possible bias-motivated charges for allegedly attacking a television news reporter after demanding to know whether he was a citizen, saying “This is Trump’s America now,” according to court documents.
Patrick Thomas Egan, 39, was arrested Dec. 18 in Grand Junction, Colorado, after police say he followed KKCO/KJCT reporter Ja’Ronn Alex’s vehicle for around 40 miles (64 kilometers) from the Delta area. Alex told police that he believed he had been followed and attacked because he is Pacific Islander.
After arriving in Grand Junction, Egan, who was driving a taxi, pulled up next to Alex at a stoplight and, according to an arrest affidavit, said something to the effect of: “Are you even a U.S. citizen? This is Trump’s America now! I’m a Marine and I took an oath to protect this country from people like you!”
Alex, who had been out reporting, then drove back to his news station in the city. After he got out of his vehicle, Egan chased Alex as he ran toward the station’s door and demanded to see his identification, according to the document laying out police’s evidence in the case. Egan then tackled Alex, put him in a headlock and “began to strangle him,” the affidavit said. Coworkers who ran out to help and witnesses told police that Alex appeared to be losing his ability to breathe during the attack, which was partially captured on surveillance video, according to the document.

You'd go full retard of it was a Democrat.
Expressing their anger through violence is just going to turn into a anger loop feeding on itself. It is sad to watch. Sadder still because it is destroying America.
Oh, big time, and the comedy is that when it happens, they won’t even know it
Maybe you should stay out of the cotton fields. I am saying you can't claim numbers show something they don't.
A stat that shows that 50% of crimes are reported to the police in no way tells us how many crimes were committed. We don't know if 2 crimes were committed or 2 million crimes. We only know half them were reported.

This idiot dishonored the Marine Corps and betrayed his oath by attacking an innocent American citizen. Fuck him. I have no sympathy for criminals.

I doubt it will destroy America. We're a nation of 330M people of which over 155M (about 63% of eligible voters) voted in the last election divided roughly 50/50. The split between the Oligarchy and MAGAt is very interesting.
While there will most certainly be more violence as nutjobs are ramped up by violent, heated rhetoric, mostly from the MAGAts, I doubt most Americans will be pleased and will demand our leaders fix the problem.
Expect more deaths. Perhaps even hundreds, if not thousands, as the Oligarchy weakens our military and intelligence services and encouraging our enemies to act against us.
IMO, this is just a phase. The odds are no one here will be killed by RW terrorists, foreign or domestic, but there will certainly be more innocent Americans murdered by them.
