Im not a minority however,I have voted for republican conservatives that are minority. I support our people in blue no matter what race or ethnicity they are and our military folks.I wouldnt call myself a champion of minorities . Im not going to pretend like liberals do. What would I even have to do to become one? Too much of a big " to do" I think.Big champion of minorities, are ya?
You back-the-blue, but when ”the blue” arrest minorities and Harris “puts them away”, you part ways?Im not a minority however,I have voted for republican conservatives that are minority.

I am for backing our people in blue . The fact is that the majority of them are good people keeping us safe . When they are not hopefully they will pay price . Simple as that . Our officers have to put up with alot of scumbags . I appreciate them . I never part ways from them. BTW what side are you on since your coming at me ?Harris had one job the last 4 yrs and couldnt it.She will most likely not be the candidate .You back-the-blue, but when ”the blue” arrest minorities and Harris “puts them away”, you part ways?
So how does that work?
So the scumbags that the blue arrested are off the streets due to Harris also doing her job (at the time) is a “bad look” for her?I am for backing our people in blue .

I asked a question about the views that you espoused, how is that “coming at” you?BTW what side are you on since your coming at me ?
How, in your considered opinion, has Harris failed at being vice-president?Harris had one job the last 4 yrs and couldnt it.She will most likely not be the candidate .
As the border szar she failed she was asked why she never went to border her answer: I never been to Europe either" .Her keeping those minorities in prison doesnt help her get minority votes. I get it you are a liberal. So no matter how incompetent she is you choose her.So the scumbags that the blue arrested are off the streets due to Harris also doing her job (at the time) is a “bad look” for her?

This is a forum, this is now forums work.
How, in your considered opinion, has Harris failed at being vice-president?
Not all on the 'Left' have permanently disposed of their senses. Stepfanie Tyler a former liberal feminist speaks of her desire for success for America in unified Nation.

Stochastic terrorism appears to be on the rise globally. Extremism experts explain how this form of violence has gone mainstream.
Stochastic terrorism appears to be on the rise globally. Extremism experts explain how this form of violence has gone mainstream.
Stochastic terrorism is a type of extremism that occurs when an environment has "othered" a population or individual enough to stoke violence.www.businessinsider.com
Stochastic terrorism is targeted political violence that has been instigated by hostile public rhetoric directed at a group or individual. Unlike incitement to terrorism, this is accomplished by using indirect, vague, or coded language that allows the instigator to plausibly disclaim responsibility for the resulting violence.[1] A key element is the use of social media and other distributed forms of communications where the person who carries out the violence has no direct connection to the users of violent rhetoric.

So should the last eight years of a multitude of social media influencers and major media figures explicitly portraying Donald Trump as the next Adolf Hitler be considered a form of stochastic terrorism?
It's important to note that the perpetrators were not comparing a general ideology or general culture to Nazism. They were specifically identifying the individual person Donald Trump and and imposing the figure of Adolf Hitler upon him. These were not nuanced or vague comparisons but explicit references and direct analogies. "Trump is the next Hitler."
It is also important to note that these were not the usual scattering of edgy political publications, but a message that was repeated 24/7 from all corners of the mass media landscape. (and still is!) The promoters of this Trump - Hitler narrative had full knowledge of the extent of saturation, because it is all very public by nature.
These comparisons and images saturated the media horizon. (I'm sure we could fill dozens of pages on this thread with examples from major media outlets, celebrities, and large social media influencers) Here is one example of countless:

The historical figure of Adolf Hitler is an extremely unique symbol that is essentially synonymous with justified violence... Hitler is basically the modern personification of Satan and there is a general consensus, even among Christians, that someone would have been justified in assassinating him before he came to power, for the greater good.
It should be common sense to anyone in our society that to combine the image of Adolf Hitler and Donald Trump, and repeat it endlessly throughout mass media channels... is going to indoctrinate a significant portion of a mass audience into the idea that one might be justified in assassinating one of them just as much as the other. (of course, most people would not act on this impulse, but inevitably some disturbed individual would, and did)
And then on July 13th, 2024, the assassination attempt happened. At a rally, someone perched on a rooftop tried to shoot Donald Trump in the head, but by God's grace, only struck his ear.
Logically speaking, a person who actually believed the widespread media campaign blending the person of Donald Trump with Adolf Hitler, would also, as a consequence, believe they are justified in eliminating another Hitler.
Could this assassination attempt be reasonably interpreted as the predictable and intended result of a long-term stochastic terrorism operation?
Should the collective promoters of this Trump - Hitler narrative be officially brought up on charges of stochastic terrorism?
Furthermore, should any individual who appeared to publicly celebrate or cheer the assassination attempt of Donald Trump, likewise be investigated?

God Save The King!
Trump Jan 6thCould be? People are saying it could be true. After all, the rightists did try to convince people that ANTIFA and Black Lives Matter people were the ones who stormed the Capitol on Jan 6th. Others blame the FBI. They blamed everybody except for blaming Trump.
You can have whatever feelings about it you want.So I should be ok with someone calling me a dirty Chink?
So cool if you say it yourself.You can have whatever feelings about it you want.
But, it's not illegal for someone to do that. Nor is it violent rhetoric that incites someone to assassinate you.
Depending on the circumstances, you could tell Human Resources to have a chat with them that might end in a firing.
