I forget who said the only thing prison cures is heterosexuality.

 

There's people famous for saying all kinds of catchy but stoopid stuff.

 

Here's what prison does.  It separates the dregs from polite society.  After someone's been convicted 3 or 4 or 17 times, it's not a matter of punishment or rehabilitation.  It becomes a simple warehousing issue.  Or at least it should.

 

Unless, of course, they bring back hanging.

They can't simply be thrown in prison without a trial.  How do you prove who is a member? They spread a lot of nonsense, to be sure, and some gullible people likely believe it and act accordingly.  In other words, it would be a circus.  

 

Sure. They need due process. Simply round them up at the protests (all the people dressed on black carrying shields), then investigate and put on trial if links to the domestic terrorist organisation called antifa can be proven.

From NYTimes update bulletin:

June 14, 2025, 5:10 p.m. ET

Senator Tina Smith of Minnesota, a Democrat, said in an interview that the gunman’s target list included her name and the names of other lawmakers, all of whom are Democrats.

What were his political and related orientations?

 

What we know about the Minnesota shooting suspect

https://www.cnn.com/2025/06/14/us/minnesota-shootings-manhunt-vance-boelter-invs

 

Vance Boelter was also an outspoken evangelical Christian who traveled to Africa to tell his faith story and, in at least one sermon, pointedly questioned American morals on sexual orientation, according to videos and social media posts reviewed by CNN.....

 

....Police said they are still investigating a motive for the attacks. The names on the list, which CNN obtained, are largely Democrats or figures with ties to Planned Parenthood or the abortion rights movement. The list included prominent lawmakers like Rep. Ilhan Omar and Sen. Tina Smith as well as Planned Parenthood leaders. Police said Boelter also had fliers for anti-Trump protests in his car, raising fears that he may also have intended to target those rallies.....

 

....Boelter registered to vote as a Republican in the early 2000s, state records show.

You seem to suggest that a rubber face mask and a bandoleer(sic) are also cop paraphernalia 

is this normal where you live?

Personally, I don't care his politics and motivations. Just hope the surviving victims recover fully, and if he is indeed the criminal, a short walk to a hangman's noose for him. 

 

Perhaps unrelated news, a shooting was reported at the No Kings rally in Salt Lake City.

My view is that this is a far right terrorist who clearly has shown which side poses the gravest danger. Puts all the "socialist terrorists" screeching of the resident pearl clutchers into perspective.

Pathetic.

If it turns out to be a right wing agenda, will you acknowledge that? Historically, violent anti abortionists have not been "liberal", nor democrats.

Of course. I want to keep the fringes down, not encourage them with their violence like the Socialists do.

 

Most of the organized murders in the n20th and 21st century are as a result of Socialism. The right has a long way to go catch up.

 

If it is a Socialist asociated assassination, it will be celebrated here im sure.

WHAT?   OF COURSE they can.  do it all the time, just won't be posting on your Facebook page about it.  come on, don't be so naive.

 

Black sites are clandestine detention centers operated by a state where prisoners who have not been charged with a crime are incarcerated without due process or court order, are often mistreated and murdered, and have no recourse to bail.

Other than Guantanamo Bay, an area under US control, I can't see this happening on a wide scale in the USA. Maybe it has happened. Maybe it still does. You can bet, though, any public announcement by Trump wouldn't fly in the courts.  Even under martial law, I'm pretty sure Trump couldn't get away with it.

No, you're not. You're just yapping away, trying to deflect from the fact that a far-right terrorist killer has attacked Dem politicians and their families.

He is a Republican but he's probably more an evangelical nutter than a far right nutter. From what I read, he was targeting pro-abortion and planned Parenthood personalities.

I think you keep on deflecting because this right-wing murderous terrorist attack makes you look like a complete and utter ****.

Why? Because not one day goes by without you screeching about "socialist terrorists".

He was Dem affiliated. Apparently one victim is considered to have voted out of line with the party. There were "no kings" flyers found in his car. Plus there is already an established pattern of left-wing violence.

 

It seems pretty unlikely that the guy is right-wing.

Strange his list of targets is mostly demokrat as far we know now. And one friend who state he believes he voted for Trump, Christian abortion activist?

Of course. Why wouldnt a decent normal normal person despise the Socialists because of their murderous ideology. Unlike your ilk.

 

Right wing terrorism is so loony, so crazy, so outside the mainstream of Patriotic American thought as opposed to Socialism, who have no philosophical choice but to be murderous.

B.S. He was registered as Republican and according to an interview of one of his neighbour, voted Trump. 

 

The list of potential targets mainly shows personalities related to pro-abortion movement and planned Parenthood.
