Bad, bad biznay today. Bad, bad biznay.
Of course, this was obviously a lone-wolf shooter, and we may never, ever, know what motivated him. All we can do now is light candles, wear ribbons, and stand together, Dee Cee Stwong.
Oh, and moar gun control!
(Oops! Forgot I had that Sarcasm Function turned on. I’m still getting used to this durn laptop.)
Honestly, though, I have no idea what is going to happen now that Lefty eliminationist rhetoric is bubbling up and out of the innertoobs and starting to actually affect real world actions in such a dramatic fashion.
From what I’ve seen of the chatter today, there are those on that side who are positively delighted, but surely a great many more sensible liberals – including most of the Establishment types – must realize that if this genie is allowed out, it’s going to come for them, too?
For that matter, even the radicals themselves ought to know this. Somehow, though, they always seem to think they can ride out the Whirlwind. History would suggest, however, that this is a very foolish bet. (See, e.g., Robespierre, Maximilien, filed and receipted by the Terror he himself had a major hand in starting.)
If there is not an immediate, united condemnation of this sort of thing, it’s going to get very ugly, very quickly, I fear.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to catch the “Trump” version of Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar up in Noo Yawk. It’s just art, you know, but ever so deliciously edgy…..
(Actually and for realz, I’m going to go and watch “Duck Soup”. What Would Rufus T. Firefly Do? Answer: “He’d stand ’em up against a wall and *POP* goes the weasel!”)

The problem is, they no longer teach history.it’s now social justice indoctrination. (Come to think about it, I did have history in 4th grade, came back in the fall and it was replaced with social studies. 1975. Rural NY)

As Kevin Williamson says in his NRO piece (6/15), the Left has embraced political violence–and many members of the Establishment are condoning it by their celebration of it or failure to condemn it–in a general sense. Once you do that it’s a short trip, he says, from intimidation and riots to guns and bombs. As ye sow and all that.

The worst of them know they won’t ride it out. Like any other cult leaders, they plan on the mass-extinction of its own membership – mob violence is their kool-aid. It will kill many other innocent people along with while ultimately betraying many of their own true believers to ruin and death… but that’s a plus-plus in their eyes.
