Texas Mass Shooting: 16 Known Dead.

Post Reply New Topic

While some on the left have done that with CRT, most of the politicizing occurs on the right, making it out to be something it never was meant to be, with an attempt to whitewash history.

That movie was called Minority Report, which I believe was based on a Philip K. Dick novel.

That's the one! I always thought the concept stemmed from the eventual need for the police to use supercomputers pulling current behavioural data from citizens being monitored on satellite cameras. I recently watched the movie Deja Vu starring Denzil Washington which seemed to suggest the military/NSA have satellites that can capture images through walls using heat signatures. The problem is allocating manpower to monitor millions of citizens.

But I know one country that does spend money on this very thing

It is more practical to trace people using their mobile phones.

True, but twitter doesn't tell you if the person is buying/stockpiling fertilizer, ammo or guns.

The bryant shooting was a landmark event in this country. Was ironically a conservative prime minister who removed guns from Australia

It's been floating around the internet that some of the cops did go in to save just their children whilst not taking down the shooter.

Some on the "left" can be difficult to understand:
* One minute they're hurling racial slurs against African American's who don't do as they wish (There was an interesting thread consisting of such remarks around Larry Elder last year which at one point contained quite a number of these) [1]
* The next minute they are complaining about "racism" and about racial slurs used against African Americans

* One minute they express a desire\fantasy that it had been a "black man" (or "POC") who had entered a school firing weapons and causing the death of a number of children.
* The next minute they are complaining about how "black"\African Americans\"POC"'s are racially profiled by police with regards to gun crime (or crime in general), or how "black"\"African American"\"POC" people are treated by police.



POC is such a difficult concept to "nail down", though:
* On one hand, it supposedly applies to any "non-white" person (generally being used by a "white" person).
* On the other hand, any "non-white" person who doesn't meet the expectations\demands (through thier words\actions) of the (predominantly white) gatekeepers of the "POC" term, are "whitewashed" by those gatekeepers, and considered fair game for racial slurs by those gatekeepers with their victim's racial heritage ignored\hidden ("white adjacent", for example), suggesting it is merely a term\tool used to describe a group of people of select racial background over which "ownership" is claimed by those "gatekeepers".

[1] While many felt free to use a certain racial slur connected with familial relationships (Uncle ...), there were others who showed awareness of their knowledge that it was a slur and so tried to hide the racist intention behind its use by making statements about what their targets relatives called them (His neieces and nephews call him ...).

Which is worse: The person who (potentially accidentally) uses a racial slur, or the person who deliberately chooses their words to communicate the slur while trying to hide that the slur is the message being delivered.

The left is not attacking blacks "for not doing what they want, like Larry Elder," but criticize individuals.
To deny that blacks and other minorities have been treated badly by law enforcement is to be willfully blind.
After the Buffalo attack happened, it was conservatives who b*tched and moaned that the media didn't pay attention to black shooters.

So, in your view, hurling racial slurs at a person isn't racist\a sign of racism on behalf of the person doing so - It's just a way of them "criticising an individual"?

Interesting...

What racial slurs were hurled? Uncle Tom? That's hardly a racial slur than it is an attack on the character of someone like Elder, a man who's constantly stood against anti-racist programs.
By the way, congressional Republicans refused to condemn the racist Replacement Theory for fear it would "demonize conservatives." That's considerably more offensive than calling a black conservative an Uncle Tom.

From memory, it was decided (on WP) that "Uncle Tom" shouldn't be used.

Cowards just doing coward things. No point in wearing the uniform if there's fear of getting into a fight and potentially dying to protect others.

It took a small team of live by the sword types going it alone to end it, one catching a round to the head too (a lucky graze).

Here's something that might help explain how someone becomes a mass shooter:

Still, it's hardly the N word.
