    It's usually the right, according to the FBI.

    It's not hard to see a link between a devoted Christian who posts his Christian things together with his hate about the LGBTQ+. The biblical texts do preach violence against the LGBTQ+. Is that new to you? And this Christian did make his anti LGBTQ+ opinion known right before he executed that 66 year old woman over that flag.

    Had the evil bastard lived he would also have been charged with a Federal Hate Crime.
    Deal with it because it has **** to do with "freedom of speech"


    ↑jcarlilesiu
    Nah, "hate speech" is an emotional reaction and term derived to attempt to limit free speech.

    You do realize that people in this country a FREE to hate other people for any number of reasons. Right?

    People are free to be racists, anti-gay, anti-religious, anti-whatever. That's a protected right. One persons emotional desires to be protected shouldn't not impeded on another rights to freedom of speech and protection.

    Right?"


    Izzy said:
    Spew all the hate speech you want..until threats and taking violent action on those threats.
    Exactly what this guy and many others did.
    Many times it's their paper trails that confirm it was a hate crime.

    This thread is like an exhibition of conservative talking points whenever a crime happens involving one of their clan:

    *Deny the reason for the crime, even if the criminal AND witnesses confirm it;

    *Make sure people know this is about an INDIVIDUAL, because assigning blame to groups is only permitted when designated 'bad' minorities like blacks and 'illegals' commit a crime;

    *Blame it on 'mental illness', because when conservatives commit a crime based on their conservative ideas it must be disconnected from those ideas. While I'm prepared to accept that most of what modern American conservatism champions does qualify as a form of mental illness, people knowingly push this hate on a daily basis, so no getting off the hook there.

    *Blame the victim - an oldie but a goodie.

    This happened because hatred against the LGBTI+ community is being whipped up in conservative circles to the point where a man has become violent over a pride flag.

    The inability to accept the fact that all individuals with a particular lean do not necessarily think or act the same as people who obviously have mental/emotional instabilities.

    Labels are cheap, and there are a good number of them in your post. Closed minds receive no additional input.

    Not so bad. I expected far worse. Sounds the same as a million+1 posts from radical Leftists wanting to abolish the 2A while calling EVERYONE who disagrees with them Gun nuts and racists.

    I really expected worse. Still Stupid!!! But worse.

    Yep. And the Nashville mass shooter who killed a bunch of people was a Christian hating Leftist Biden supporting Trans, so go figure. Didn’t hear much about him/her though from the MSM, because it didn’t fit the narrative. They got all excited until they saw the suspect. Then a collective sigh and off to other news.

    Difference here is no one will defend this dude. He’s a POS. We heard a bunch of excuses for the Trans guy though. Social victim. Hd to be a “reason” that drove him to the violence. But all YOU guys need to hear is Trump supporter and Leftists get all giddy.

    Nut cases come in all sizes and shapes. Since you have a need to justify your particular brand of bias, I'm sure that anyone who doesn't fit your preconceived list, is going to be forgotten.

    You do understand just how sad your pigeon-holing is?

    I love how you pretend to watch the MSM. You don't. Then you complain about them not covering something enough . . . despite not having the slightest ****ing clue what they are covering. Dude, that shooting was all over the MSM. Can you talk about the actual topic? Of course not.

    The Lake Arrowhead shooter has been identified by the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department as 27-year-old Travis Ikeguchi. He was extremely active in the online right-wing ecosystem of hate in the United States, regularly posting about his far-right extremist beliefs on Gab and Twitter/X. He supported Donald Trump in 2016 but became far more devoted to a Christian nationalist worldview driven by antisemitic conspiracy theory culture.

He was extremely active in the online right-wing ecosystem of hate in the United States, regularly posting about his far-right extremist beliefs on Gab and Twitter/X. He supported Donald Trump in 2016 but became far more devoted to a Christian nationalist worldview driven by antisemitic conspiracy theory culture.


    In a personal GoFundMe campaign from 2019, Ikeguchi talked about his estranged father being a police officer. Public records indicate that Ikeguchi's father was at one time a Florida Highway Patrol officer. Ikeguchi started attacking police departments online for making Pride posts on Twitter/X. In 2022, he shared a video on Gab about wanting to shoot police officers— which is what he died doing.


    Ikeguchi fatally shot Laura Ann Carleton, a loving wife and mother of nine, for having a Pride flag in support of LGBTQ+ rights at her clothing store Mag.Pi in Cedar Glen, California (two hours east of Los Angeles). He spouted anti-LGBTQ+ slurs and hate speech during the incident— as he regularly did on social media. After fleeing the scene of the murder, he was confronted and killed by police in a shootout.

    The San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department identified the shooter as Travis Ikeguchi, 27, of Cedar Glen. Before fatally shooting 66-year-old Laura Carleton, Ikeguchi tore down her Pride flag and yelled "many homophobic slurs" toward her, San Bernardino County Sheriff Shannon Dicus said at a Monday press conference.

    Ikeguchi also "made several disparaging remarks" about the Pride flag hanging outside Carleton's clothing shop, Mag.Pi, before shooting Carleton, the Sheriff's Department said in a press release.

    And you are free to spew out as much hate speach as you want.

    What YOU want, is consequence free speach. Its not the same.

    THE ONLY PROMISE IS THAT THE GOVERNMENT WONT LIMIT YOUR SPEECH.

    But your community and socitety are free to act however, and you should rightfully expect to be octrosized from the community for doing so. Or fired from your private employer.
