Yeh right it is.

 

Back on topic, the white supremacist terrorist targeted people he believed to be immigrants, gunned them down in cold blood.

 

His ‘manifesto’ is replete with Trump’s the hate filled language, the killer seems not to have recognised the distinction you are now offering as an excuse.

it is a simple fact various hate/terror groups exist as well as extremely violent gangs.

 

it is no single politicians fault that they exist. part of human nature is having ideology, some good, some bad, some indifferent.

 

have any hate/ terror related mass shootings occur during the terms of presidents before trump ??

 

trump remarks about mexicans were directed at criminals.

You are correct, racist and white supremacist groups existed before Trump, but I don’t recall any other US President race baiting, not do I recall any other racist mass killer parroting the words, terms and themes of any President other than Trump.

 

This President with his ‘good people on both sides’ when one side are neo-Nazis, and his language of ‘infestation’, ‘animals’..... directed at immigrants is fanning the flames of race hate and has emboldened white supremacist.

 

 

not everyone perceives/interprets trumps words as race baiting.

 

ms13 is a gang that are indeed animals as well as other violent gangs. to say this is true is not an indictment of all immigrants.

It’s not me or indeed you that was convinced otherwise, it was the white supremacist terrorist who gunned down people he believed to be immigrants.

Who needs ‘perception’, we have the white supremacist terrorists own words along with the second hand words he got from Trump.

 Here is the entire text of Trump's campaign inaugurations speech.

"When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best. They're not sending you...They're sending people that have lots of problems, and they're bringing those problems with us. "

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2015/06/16/full-text-donald-trump-announces-a-presidential-bid/

He goes on  to say they're bringing drugs, crime. Some are rapist. At the closing he doesn't even say outright that some are good people But rather he assumes. As though that might be subject to doubt.  Whereas his statement about crime, drugs, and rapists not qualified as assumptions. Just stated as outright facts.

You are conflating all mass shootings with this mass shooting that was politically motivated and targeted at Hispanic immigrants.

 

You are not the only one making this false  association.

 

This killer is a white supremicist following the pattern of targeted violence of other white supremicists.

 

His politically motivated violence is not the same thing as a kid shooting up his school or a disgruntled worker shooting up his place of work.

 

Don’t hide the violent white supremicist terrorism amongst other gun crimes.

 

 

I was not conflating anything at all, that is your bias. Mine was an observation and a question.

 

I was speaking about mass shootings>> nothing more nothing less, and the overall gun violence that is an obvious problem in the USA, much worse than any other Western Country.

Yes gun violence is a problem, but this white supremacist terrorism is far from simply gun violence.

Look, it doesn't matter so much what is in "trump" mind. What matters in this context is that his constant hateful rhetoric has convinced white supremacists that he's on their side. The president sets the tone for the nation and the tone of this president is dangerously toxic DIVISION.

there is no lack of white skin mexicans either. many 2nd and 3rd generation mexican americans.

 

the shooter is a deranged troubled individual that may have used trump to try to rationalize the storm within his twisted mind. the left  is now claiming it as prima facie proof it is trumps fault.  keep in mind i am a democrat but do not agree with everything my party says.

 

rock bands have been sued claiming their song lyrics led people to commit murder.

You're exaggerating. Nobody is saying "trump" pulled the trigger. What is being said is that his very sick hateful racist rhetoric was a CONTRIBUTING factor.

Donald Trump is an ever-expanding cloud of toxic waste that defiles everything it touches.

Frist, Trump didn't encourage anyone to shoot anybody. Second, the alleged gunman's reasons for deciding to target Mexicans are more complex than painted by the "Get Trump" lobby and their allies in the mass media.

 

This is clear from Cruisius's manifesto. The title, 'The Inconvenient Truth About Me', reflects his environmental credentials, lifted as it obviously is from the name of the global warming gospel published by failed Democratic Presidentialcandidate-cum-climate-change-Messiah, Al Gore.

 

In addition to being a  global warming believer and anti-corporatist - not exactly badges of honour for a so-called right-winger - Crusius voices support for openly-socialist policies such as universal basic income and socialized medicine.

 

The manifesto makes clear that his ideology has not changed for several years. He states that his “opinions on automation, immigration, and the rest predate Trump and his campaign for President.”

 

He goes on to prophesise, with uncanny accuracy: "I know that the media will probably call me a white supremacist anyway and blame Trump’s rhetoric.”

 

Trump's robust pronouncements on illegal immigration have certainly done little to encourage racial tolerance, and if he is serious about uniting the nation he needs to curb his errant tongue.

 

However, he has never advocated violence against Mexicans or anyone else, and cannot be held any more responsible for the massacre in El Paso than for the atrocities over the same weekend ascribed to a left-wing gunman in Dayton and individuals of unknown political persuasion in Chicago.

I have no doubt you did. The question is whether it's a valid perception given Trump's language. Trump doesn't qualify as uncertain his statements about Mexicans bringing crime and drugs and being rapists. The only statement that gets that treatment is the one about Mexicans being good people.

He does not speak to the NRA, they speak to HIM, and he has to listen.

All the NRA has to do is put out the word "he's coming for your guns!" like they did continuously for Obama. And every time they did the shelves of the stores selling arms would be bare within days.  Good times for the gun makers.  Funny how people who have troubles making ends meet can cough up $400+ for another gun.

 

There is a vid clip from one of DT's Apprentice-style cabinet meetings where they caught him saying "first we take the guns, THEN we do the due process."  Why isn't Fox screaming about that one?

I think DT should man up and allow (and encourage) people to open carry at his rallies.

 

 

Why is it you assume that someone that can buy a gun is having difficulty making ends meet?

He only assumed some were good people.

Strange that it mainly (not exclusively) the USA which has continued mass shootings,  what spurs this action by people who can buy these weapons?

Mental health is not the sole reason, it is a complex issue requiring intense investigation and a willingness to LISTEN on all sides of the debate.

 

I might even be that there are 340 MILLION guns (about)  in possession of civilians?  I was a hunter, and a marksman competitor in the USA, so I don't think it's the shotguns and single shot rifles that are causing the problems~it's common sense what the problem is, and a 13 year old could figure it out

*Deleted post edited out*

 The defendant made the statement to the police while he was being arrested at the scene.

If you have evidence otherwise bring it to the attention of the killer’s defence team.

Trump's "anti-immigrant rhetoric" was directed at ILLEGAL migrants. In any case, when it comes to moulding public opinion, a political leader's actions arguably speak louder than mere words.

 

President Obama used the policy of separating immigrant parents and children families long before Trump set his sights on the White House. He also kept entire families in detention for lengthy periods.

 

Janet Murguía, president of the National Council on La Raza, a Latino advocacy group, called Obama "the deporter-in-chief."

 

According to governmental data, the Democrat president deported three million undocumented migrants during his term of office - more than any other president's administration in history.

Refer post #39 debunking your ill informed argument on Trump’s rhetoric.

 

You need to do some more research on the differences between Obama’s application of separation detention and that of Trump. The differences are stark.

 

You’ve just shot the argument that Democrats are soft on immigration in the foot.

Oh wait, that was already debunked and is now history.

When all is said and done it is a good thing this whitey supremo is off the streets. Now time to deal with the other couple hundred or so in the U.S.A. So they can start to deal with the real danger of inner city gun violence.
