How many more crazy people are out there that will attempt something similar? Should the left be held accountable? Applying leftist standards, Trump…by telling people to march to the capitol “peacefully and patriotically” motivated J6, surely applying their own standards to themselves, the left will hold those within their party spurring violent rhetoric accountable…amirite?
I am not going to go as far as blaming it. We must stand by the 1st amendment with rare exceptions like fire in a crowded theatre and antisemitic public rallies on campus with students from antisemitic cultures.
Yes anybody who seems to have been swayed by right wing rhetoric is insane and anybody who is swayed by left wing rhetoric should be tried and imprisoned and the lefty politicians must apologize and stop immediately
Nobody thought your position would be any different. Literally nobody.
Well I doubt the widow and children of the murdered United Health CEO have been left in a vulnerable financial position but that notwithstanding I cannot understand anyone wanting to contribute to a go fund me for Mangione.
I agree but the point I was making is that his family do not need a go fund me like other families may need when a loved one is murdered. That was in response to the comment about the go fund me for Mangione with none of those donating sending dollars to the CEO.
I think its horrific he was murdered and there is NO justification for it. I also cannot imagine why anyone would want to give dollars to Mangiones defense fund.
There is evidence of serious and sometimes violent mental problems.
His mother told various outlets that Balmer has bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, and had stopped taking his pills . . . Balmer had a court appearance already scheduled for this week – for a 2023 assault charge in which he was accused of punching relatives – including his wife – and stepping on the previously-broken leg of his 10-year-old son.
The media have noted that Balmer made comments against Biden and implied he supported Republicans. The reality appears to be far different. His posts showed he identified as “socialist”, supported BLM, and opposed both major parties:
In one social media conversation, Balmer claimed he was a “registered Socialist,” but he has no party affiliation associated with his active voter registration. He didn’t vote in 2024, but did vote in 2022.
Amid a discussion of high gas prices, he leveled some vague criticism of Donald Trump: “I said the same (expletive) when Trump took office. I don’t play favorites especially since they all suck.”
He shared a meme that said “Stop Being Democratic or Republican.”
He voiced support for the Black Lives Matter movement in 2020, in the context of the death of Ahmaud Arbery, who was gunned down in Georgia in 2020 after running through a neighborhood and being chased down by residents (whose use of deadly force many conservatives also found wholly unjustified).
There are violent leftists who do not support Biden. Many of them have serious mental problems as well.
Around 150 antifa protesters vandalized the Oregon Democrats head office in Portland on Wednesday night before descending on an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility, hours after Joe Biden was sworn in as president.
These nutters will be triggered regardless, if it’s not politics it will be something else they fixate on.
Politics today is more toxic than it has ever been, in large part due to social media and 24 hour news. Probably one of the main reasons why nearly 90 million people did not vote in the 2024 election.
