Guns, race, religion, terror, wingnut thread

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

Yo, O Really. Remember Silent Sam?
Of course, but as you know, Silent Sam has nothing to do with the Civil War. His job was to remain vigilant until a virgin walked past at which time he'd fire his gun. Thus the name "Silent." And since nobody wanted to hear a statue fire a gun, great effort was made to assure that no virgin came anywhere close. :lol:
Thank you both for your service and sacrifice making sure that there weren't any virgins on the UNC campus. :o :P

If there were any, I could never find them. There was a rumor that one transferred in from Bob Jones, but that seems pretty improbable.

I heard about her, she transferred because she was pregnant.

My brother reminded me of him. When I was in high school, we went to Chapel Hill every year for the one-act play competition.

To state elected officials:

Symbols that celebrate the Confederacy and slavery should be removed or replaced in public spaces. This is not about erasing history; it’s about educating the public about our nation's dark history of white supremacy and slavery and choosing the history we want to celebrate.

Students want it moved, UNC wants it moved, it can be brought down or messed with as easy as a statue of Stalin or Saddam was - seems stupid not to just negotiate moving it to a more balanced site, museum or private land.

Gizmodo: Before Getting Banned From OkCupid, White Supremacist Chris Cantwell Wrote Tips for Dating Online

So, also misogynist and homophobic.

I think we have to consider the possibility that Cantwell is Mr.B.
Gizmodo: 'Crying Nazi' Christopher Cantwell Surrenders to Police
University of Virginia police issued warrants for Cantwell’s arrest on three felony charges on Monday involving his alleged use of tear gas in Charlottesville on August 11th.
[...]
The 36-year-old Cantwell, reportedly from Keene, New Hampshire, told the New York Times a few days ago that he thought the charges might stem from an altercation he had with a journalist that he admits to pepper spraying.

“I thought that spraying that guy was the least damaging thing I could do,” he told the Times. “In my left hand I had a flashlight. My other option, other than the pepper spray, was to break this guy’s teeth.

... University of Virginia Police Department released a statement saying that Cantwell is currently being held at the Blue Ridge Regional Jail in Lynchburg, Virginia waiting to be transported to Charlottesville....
On the bright side, his dating situation just improved, nttawwt. :o
President Trump could not be reached by publication time to confirm whether Cantwell is one of the “very fine people” the president keeps defending.

Right-wing group cancels Saturday San Francisco rally

From my earlier link: "The group is also planning to reconvene on Sunday to 'clean up the mess and hug each other'”. I wonder how many already delivered their "gifts" to the Turd Reich. Opps.


Trump adviser Roger Stone warns any politician who votes to impeach him would 'endanger their own life'

Terrorist threats from a high level Trumpette, they must be getting worried that they've lost enough of the GOP.

The presence of Steve Bannon, Sebastian Gorka, and Stephen Miller to positions in the White House is unacceptable and dangerous. White supremacy, racism, anti-Semitism, climate change denial, and misogyny have no place in the White House.

... Call it the Battle of Charlottesville.

I hope "we just reached peak alt-right", but I'm not as certain as you. They might be encouraged to hold more gatherings so they don't look weak, and they might be more violent (gunfire) with the Antifas. Frustrated and impotent individuals and small groups might step up hate crimes and terrorism. We'll see....
Opps, already there.

The moment a white nationalist fired his gun at a black protester during Charlottesville protests while cops stood and did NOTHING (with video)

Newly released video footage from the Charlottesville demonstrations shows a white nationalist firing gun in the direction of a black man while police stood by
The man who was filmed firing his weapon has later been arrested and charged with a crime, according to the American Civil Liberties Union
Nonetheless, questions abound as to why the man was not arrested immediately after he discharged his weapon within earshot of state troopers

Why weren't they arrested then?

Why weren't they arrested later?

Why were BLM arrested at protest after protest for much less?


Simple answer - pigs
Trump: “We had the safest border in the history of our country - or at least recorded history. I guess maybe a thousand years ago it was even better.”
