  Colorado Mass Shooting

  terrible news out of colorado this morning of a mass shooting in a supermarket leaving 10 dead.. missing from the homepage of cnn is any description of the shooter.

  that's because it's a muslim refugee from syria who was apparently anti-trump and not a "maga white guy" which would otherwise be included in every headline.. more kids in cages than ever before (but strangely, now no one in the media seems to care) and now this.. biden doesn't have the magic wand he promised after all, right?.

  What is the Alanis song ? Ironic, don't you think ?

  You can add some other things to the list though that happened before then - bombing syria, allowing in "refugees" who don't integrate and so on.

  Still "ironic" don't you think?

  Anyway, media-mission-accomplished, as it stopped trending as soon as the shooters "non white guy" identity became clear.

  We're still hearing the "Charlottesville hoax" regularly, they can keep that alive, but a bigger death count more deliberately caused by a hateful follower of a hateful religion imported into the country under bogus and unchecked systems based on "diversity quota"? Crickets and the page is turned quickly.

  Authorities would not speak to motive but did say they were not treating this as a hate crime

  Yeah, funny that - apparently he's spewed hate for a considerable period, threatened many and used those same hate laws to bully and harass others by taking advantage of "islamophobia" claims.

  Isn't it odd how they can ascribe motive for some crimes, often before they even catch someone, and immediately dismiss motive for others? Almost like they have to make things fit a narrative ...

  They fool no one.

  The Democrats are now saying this is the reason all guns have to be removed and they are exhorting Biden to do something about it and do it quick

  Yes, it's their go-to position anytime there is an inconvenient shooting. It's a distraction to avoid talking about the ethnicity and motivations of the attacker.

  The headlines would begin "White Man ..."

  Anytime that there is no mention of someone's race, you know it's not a white person.

  Same with recent attacks on asian people, when they are described as "the attacker" or "a man" you know immediately they are non-white.

  Welcome to the UK, where sharing a meme can get you arrested

  by LoveUniHateExams in

  er, yes, i'm not kidding.

  if you share anything deemed 'grossly offensive' online you will be standing in a court before a judge if someone is offended, wets their pants, and complains.. some policeman in devon shared a meme of george floyd (not particularly nice, but illegal?!

  ) in a whatsapp message to his mates, some of whom were coppers, some not.. and someone complained and he's been arrested.. first: yes, george floyd memes are highly likely to offend at least some people.

  The response to people complaining they have been offended should be to be more offensive.

  AstraZeneca Vaccine For Canadians

  the usa is "selling" us canadians huge shipments of the astrazeneca vaccine.

  i wonder why they ordered them in the first place if they are not needed in the us.. http://sciencenorway.no/covid19/norwegian-experts-say-deadly-blood-clots-were-caused-by-the-astrazeneca-covid-vaccine/1830510.

  Trudeau will take it, the vaccine plan here has been an utter shambles because he was late ordering it and didn't order enough. His first plan was to order it from China. This is what you get when you elect a drama teacher as "leader".

  The US vaccinates more people in a day than Canada has in total.

  I don't think there is anything wrong with the AZ vaccine, the stats on issues doesn't amount to any proof of any issue but politicians have used it as a football and would rather see people unvaccinated if it means they get to score some points.

  do you support the death penalty or do you think the worst punishment should be incarceration?.

  You know that serial killers are quite rare and executing them won't do much for crime statistics

  But it says a lot about how society thinks of their crimes and also stops them playing and oversized role on public perception.

  Really, the amount of air-time given to these people is ridiculous and can only risk creating more copy-cats.

  But there are way more mass killers and people who have committed heinous crimes than the "star" names that Netflix obsess over.

  There needs to be equity in the law. If people can face the death penalty when convicted, then someone causing a wrongful conviction through presenting false evidence or suppressing exculpatory evidence should face the same fate.

  In general I support it for convictions with 100% conclusive evidence and zero doubt, where the crime is heinous and terrible and the person deserves to play no part in socity.
