Another week, another mass shooting

[CrossLOPER]

Huh, I wasnt even serious when I said you hadnt given it even a cursory glance, but here you are still attacking what it is and not what it says.

To be fair, I should have figured it out when you pulled an anti-gun standard statistic as a retort to a critique of the news media plugging an agenda beyond reason.

You know the senior members like to occasionally moan over the lowering in quality this forum has suffered compared to some halcyon days of the 00's, but posts like these from the vetrans makes me wonder if it was so great to begin with.

I admit that I did not watch all of it. I instead decided to skim because there was nothing in that video that I did not hear prior on conservative radio (Hannity, Limbaugh) every morning prior to that day. However, since you seem to place a lot of faith in the video that you posted, I decided to listen to all of it. Needless to say, it was just as I suspected. The following is my state of mind and thoughts as I read.

The speaker begins to complain about some things that he saw on twitter or facebook. I found it odd that he would complain about sources that are simply outlets for public speech, but I ignored this as this was a theme I was familiar with. He then began talking about mainstream media doing the same thing. He mentioned quite a few specific examples of transgressions committed by "mainstream media" (a common phrase in the conservative radio type that I mentioned), but really skimped on direct links. He mentioned the Young Turks channel where a commentator was angry about at the NRA's influence on government. Here is the video that he failed to provide (the still in your video is in this one):

He then stated that his tone changed after the terrorists' names were dropped. This is odd, considering how the commentator indirectly mentioned Islamic terrorists in that very video. He then went on to talk about white victimization. He then went on a tangent about a conspiracy that the NRA stands for No Retards Allowed and that the shooting was part of a plan to kill handicapped people. I found nothing on this.

He then talked about how one of the shooters was an immigrant from Saudi Arabia. He mentioned how this fact changed the narrative. He mentioned how the stories evolved regarding the motives of the shooters. He talked a lot about the workplace violence angle. I was familiar with a single statement made by Obama regarding workplace violence when the story was breaking and there was not a lot of information coming in. The media types that I mentioned before zeroed in on this issue, and this is where the narrative conspiracy theory really gets its roots.

At this point, the video devolves mainly into Obama bashing because he is crying a lot when kids get murdered by heavily armed psychopaths and how apparently all Muslims need to be reported for any suspicious activity because someone apparently failed to report the terrorist couple for "suspicious activity" such as "do a lot of work out in the garage" and "receiving a lot of packages" during the holidays.

As I said before, it is drivel. I spent a lot more time processing this video than you did. I hope you appreciate this.

The link that I posted wasn't really aimed at you, it was just a contribution to the thread. I suspect that you found it to be a threat to your own narrative, whatever it may be.

As for The Org's past, people were more civil because this place wasn't filled with conspiracy theorists and people who thought they had figured out religion all by themselves. It was also filled with Russophobes, but that is not unusual for a forum with Europeans.
