    Your pronoun is we? Sorry, I don't pay much attention to lbgqrxyz stuff. Hope I didn't offend.

    You should embark on that journey of self discovery to 4CHAN.

    Well, not exactly right. The First Amendment protects your speech from the feds, the Fourteenth Amendment protects it from the states, but neither of them protect you from HF. Privately owned social media platforms are free to impose their own rules on speech. As for protecting your speech from us, you need to look to HF for that. So you're within your rights to support President Trump, but that doesn't immunize you from criticism for making a bad choice. Right wingers are forever calling us "snowflakes', but you seem to be super-sensitive to criticism. As Democrat Harry Truman once said, "If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen!"

    You see Toshomingo on the map? Maybe you better get your eyes in better focus. I don't think there is such a place, so if you went there and made a scene, nobody would notice. Even if you went to Tishomingo, I doubt that your scene on the street would accomplish much if only you know about what. And your point is...?

    Being a racist doesn't make you the counter culture.

    Republicans are still the party of the status quo, of big business, endless wars and rugs and brown people etc.

    It's comical you think you are the new hippy (a sentiment said by several right wing people here). You are basically where you were in the 1960's. And that is not one the side of love, peace, or social progress because all of those things upset you. You want them to go away because by definition conservatism does not change. Life is perfect now and only communists would think otherwise. What Republicans wanted then is what they want now. That is for ALL protests to stop and for straight white men to be praised as the backbone of society. NO MLK, no BLM, just standing for the anthem to prove you love America.

    It's interesting you don't admit that. I mean Fox is really clear on these topics.

    It's good to know you are OK with people getting murderd for shoving one another. ANTIFA and BLM are shoved an awful lot by men in red hats as I am sure you are aware. So by the rules a 17 year old has set I guess all those men in red hats need to die right? It's our right to defend ourselves. The same people upset that store windows are being broken or phares like "ACAB" are spray painted claiming violence are literally praising a murder.

    You can't have it both ways. If that child can kill someone is going to kill you and claim it's the American thing to do. You should just be ready to live in the world you create.

    I'm not a racist. You're a typical leftist, devsive and willing to label anyone who has a different view. You clearly didn't watch the video and sound analysis of the 17 yo kid defending his life. He took 2 human lives, he didn't murder anyone. You surely realize there's a difference.

    Dude, when you bring up and amplify the "facts" that blacks are 13% of the population but responsible for 50% of the killings, and that 94% of black deaths are by other blacks, without context of history or socioeconomic conditions, you're a racist, conscious or unconscious.

    The facts are that seventeen year old kid killed two people with an AR-15. Whether or not that wa murder or justified by self-defense depends on context: why he was there, how he got the weapon, whether or not he reasonably perceived that his life was in danger, etc. Those are the facts that the lawyers will bring out at his trial. If he wasn't engaged in vigilantism, good for him.

    That second part came after my initial response and I couldn't agree with it more. I've watched the video analysis and have stated my opinion on what I believe happened.

    ... "spouting the crap you post on HF..."

    Now this is exactly what I mean. In your opinion I post crap. So be it. If I had posted what you refer to as "crap" on a more tolerant site the reaction might have been slightly less antagonistic.

    In any political debate be it online or in real time somewhere ... anywhere ... the opinion of both sides needs to be respected and considered.. ...

    So why is it deemed necessary to insult earthlings whose opinions differ from your own? It is really not good. Peace.

    I have tried my best not to "attack" anyone. I have rather atempted to voice a differing opinion to what is the norm here.

    ... then you shouldn't be attacking Liberals and Leftists on here, and should go along with us sending our votes by the US mail.

    So what would your answer be if I substituted Conservatives and Rightest in the highlighted sentence?

    As one who has been called an Antifa member who engages in rioting and looting, I'm not used to such genteel expressions of civility. But I'm willing to give it a try. Would you please tell us kind sir why you think that, at a time when protests against police brutality and police killings of unarmed civilians are much in the news, you think the Supreme Court's insistence on an objective standard of reasonableness for police use of deadly force is such a bad idea? Please include facts and reasoned arguments in your answer. Alternatively, you might explain to us why you think Trump is the greatest President in U.S. history, and /or what it is about him that drew you too him with such devoted loyalty.

    I've had a stroke of genius! Instead of telling anybody else where to go, create your own site called echochamber and live your days out in total unchallenged bliss.

    Why don't you take a wild dystopian ride on the back of an Egyptian camel.
