    The fear of the anti-Trump crowd is 10xs more prevalent and dangerous than that of the "hate" to which is anywhere on the Trump side.

    It simply isn't there.

    The fear is verging on Salem levels. And I honestly think Obama could declare a state of emergency, keep control of the presidency, have all of us who voted for Trump hunted down, and you would be no better than the OP - applauding it.

    I'm more worried about prevalent delusional paranoia, than phantom hate. And yes, I know scattered about are hill billys who still use the n-word. They are a minuscule percentage. The other side, the paranoia is 100%.

    So it is what I thought. The hit squad for anyone possessing a firearm. To own a gun is a death sentence.

    The difference is hating one man, as opposed to hating all liberals. There is a HUGE difference.

    Trump is not just an idiot. He is dangerous to all of humanity. Nothing else matters in comparison. We have a ten-year-old child with the nuclear football and controlling world's most powerful military. This is pure insanity. Nothing else can compare. This is horrifying.

    And now we see people calling for executions without due process, just like in the Philippines. What more evidence do you need?

    Hitler is indeed rising.

    That’s how it’s being spun to make it sound because that sells more papers. The “journalists” will have very limited details about that actual shooting so you should be clear that anything they are reporting is largely speculation, guess work or literally made up.

    England does indeed have due process and all the officers involved with be automatically investigated Independent Police Complaints Commission as happens any time a police officer fires a weapon (let alone actually kills a suspect).

    And Trump is appealing to the same populist dissent as Mr.Hitler did. Full blown fascism and the police state is just around the corner. The orange idiot is dangerously unpredictable and potentially unstable. Not a good cocktail.

    The mantra of the liberals is "white privilege" and "patriarchy". No such things exist. There are literally 100s of colleges, 1000s of schools, and 95% of media institutionalizing the hatred of white men. To the point they can't even argue for a couple of policy changes without being called racists or sexists.

    If I say, "your cat scratched me", and you yelled out, "cat hater!". You'd look pretty silly.

    Money is the only deciding factor in western society. Nothing else. You've been hypnotized.

    Any wrong by a white man was eventually stopped by other white men. And there have been no victims of white men even close to that of other white men. Even in a society that is fare, women still need dozens of laws on the books to hedge their success. In 2016. That in its own right shows that male heads of households and society stems from nature, not oppression.

    There is no conspiracy. There is no hatred. There is simply a bunch of people who have morphed, generation after generation, to ignore the ills of their father's programming and change into better people. Just to find out their reward at the end of the rainbow is a mantra of, "well, it doesn't matter. You're just evil and you needs to come to grips with that."

    No one in their right mind would just sit back and accept such a hateful, bogus social narrative. Oh, and did I mention, using the "evil white man's" tax dollars to pay for it all. How long did people think it would last?

    And it is so bad, someone as intelligent as you can't even see it right in front of you.

    Did they shoot him with a sniper as he leisurely drove down the street? That's what the story implies.

    Apartheid in South Africa was stopped by a black man, Nelson Mandela.

    Good point. I was speaking in general terms as to 10 thousand years of history.

    Due process is the only chance we have against stopping the government from becoming totalitarian. Without due process, the government can do whatever it wants, whenever it wants.

    How about the "human scum" who make a lucrative living by selling cigarettes, booze and junk food? Those three products cause much more misery and death than illegal drugs ever will. In free societies, there are many things available that can cause harm if abused. It certainly does not make those who deal in them, human scum. They are simply merchants responding to the market.

    Funny, because the drugs kill a lot more people than the guns.

    That's exactly it.

    They would rather an honest, hard working human being who owns guns to protect their families be shot by police than those engaged in criminal behavior.

    This is, of course, because most criminals are leftists and vote D.

    Not to mention, "scum" is subjective.

    It's all fun and games until the other guys get in control.

    Yeah, look how that turned out.

    Yeah I don't think being addicted to Twinkies and addicted to heroin is the same thing.

    Did you honestly just try to equate the two?

    How do you feel about large corporations who market poisonous food to children, or stores that sell cigarettes and booze? More sickness, death and destruction come from them than any illegal drugs by far. We are raising a generation of fat slovenly children due to the junk food industry. Childhood obesity is at an all time high. Ten times more people die from cigarettes than from illegal drugs every year. Alcohol kills more people every year than illegal drugs also. We live in a free society and there are products available that can be dangerous if abused. Deal with it and stop calling for the deaths of people who sell them or use them.

    Many things are unhealthy if abused. More people are addicted to alcohol, cigarettes and prescription drugs than heroin. I equate all of these products as dangerous if abused. Cheers

    Alcohol yeah. That one I can agree with.

    The other two are simply a danger to you. Drugs are a danger to everyone around the drug user.

    Oh no question as to the problems with obesity.

    Of course the left says that's "fat shaming" and doctors shouldn't tell fat people to lose weight. That's a primary SJW platform right there.

    However, I again don't think a Twinkie addiction is quite the same thing as a heroin addiction.

    I don't know too many Twinkie addicts that commit crimes to feed their Twinkie addiction. Then again, maybe it's because they keep getting stuck in windows and can't get their fingers in a trigger well.

    That is because twinkles haven't been made illegal. If heroin was legal, it would cost about the same as cheap wine per dose and there wouldn't be any crime associated to it. Heroin was developed by the same people who make Bayer aspirin and sold by Sears & Roebuck in their catalog for about .20 a dose with a clean needle. Nobody was breaking into houses to get money for it back then. The drug problem is a direct result of it's illegality. So called conservatives decided that we need a nanny state to protect idiots from themselves and started this moronic drug war which has been a full frontal attack on the US Constitution and our right to privacy.

    Yes and no, the problem is certainly more complex and possibly more problematic due to illegality.

    Alcohol, for example. Even though it's no longer illegal, it still causes plenty problems. It was certainly worse under Prohibition though, I will give you that.

    I love the Queens English compared to American's depolrable's English.

    Windscreen = windshield

    Bonnet = hood.

    I guess I did.

    I have a buddy who's English and I was surprised on how many hand tools have a different name in the UK.
