    I wouldn't go so far as to draw a straight line between Trump's anti-immigrant rhetoric and this specific killing; maybe this guy was primed to kill no matter what? But history is rife with political figures inflaming passions and fears into violence, which is why Trump's rhetoric is concerning. We already live in a world where it feels like the center may not hold, the last thing you want in that kind of environment is somebody in a leadership position lobbing verbal "Molotov cocktails."

    Probably a hate crime. Definitely not a terrorist.

    That's bunk.
    If the shoe was on the other foot, most on that reddit would not let a majority of people on the left off so easily.
    One person means the entire side is a herd of sheep. Hell that's what it seems like in this OT section at times.
    The double standard I see is bunk.

    Hell if there was a terrorist attack in the US right now, republicans would cite the need for a ban on muslims. Regardless if the terrorist was from one of those 7 countries or not.
    One bad muslim, means they're all bad.
    The hypocrisy is real. Bunk.

    Reminds me of the primary when republicans & democrats a like said all young people were violent and lived in their mothers basement. OR hey, the protests. A few violent people means everyone involved is violent...
    Bunk.

    What the hell? Some drunk idiot in Kansas is the cause and effect of Trump's immigration orders?

    Get outta my face with that. I know you're smarter than this.

    Otherwise, I can make a pretty convincing argument that Leftists rioters are the result of 8 years of Obama rule.

    This. Correct.

    This reminds me of a standup skit by Aziz Ansari where he talks about how we focus on blacks and whites and whatever we call those brown people....he's from India and deals with it as a kid who grew up on baseball and hot dogs in North Carolina and grew a sense of humor about it...

    Those were PROTESTERS. Not RIOTERS.

    You know "Rioters"....the current Backpack Brigade who destroy property and injure people while hiding their faces like cowards. Those people.

    Not unarmed, peaceful college kids at Kent.

    You can keep playing this strawman game all you want. You know damned well that there is a difference between:

    [​IMG]

    And this...

    [​IMG]

    Trying to compare the two is an insult to every peaceful protester, such as Dr. King, who has ever made real change in this country through peaceful means.

    Candidate/President Trump have been getting people whooped up into a frenzy over immigrants and refugees, calling them terrorists, murderers, and rapists, for two years now. If you don't think the most powerful man in the world is capable of influencing, and emboldening those inclined to nativist or or even racist tendencies to act out violence, then I think you are simply incorrect.
