96 London fire

Supposedly started when refrigerator exploded.

The new EU compliant CFC Free refrigerant in these refrigerators is either PROPANE or ISOBUTANE. Yes flammable and explosive gas! There have been a dozen previous exploding refrigerators recently.

The gas leaks into the inside of the refrigerator and the thermostat cycling on-off provides a spark n the enclosed space and BLAMMO!

I think the new refrigerant is called Greenfreeze or something similar.

Unless he was a highly trained assassin, then he was receiving positive feedback from a source or multiple sources. The Marxist Left think of us as sub humans, look at how those 60's Marxists openly wrote and spoke of us. The meetings they had.

289 225 I would caution everyone to be very careful on wishcasting the political identity of this shooter. As much as it would conform to our worldviews that this is a deranged leftist idiot (redundant again, sorry) it's just as likely that this is a far right wing extremist who wanted to take out the establishment players.

I'm hedging my bets 50/50 honestly.

303 The 50-100 shots fired may include the shots fired by the police. Sen Flake said he thought at least that many shots were fired.

24 hour rule is always wise to follow. However, if the shooter is the guy who asked which party was out their practicing, that indicates he wanted to shoot random Republicans.

368 I guessing this has to do with that party that says it's so worried about the RUSSIANS "attacking our democracy". Just a wild guess.

It's worth remembering that Reagan had similar propaganda demonizing HIM (although nowhere near as bad, I'd say), and he was actually shot very early in his fist term. I've been pretty impressed that the Secret Service has been able to keep Trump safe so far.

Yes, and while conservatives sit around being all circumspect and cautious, the left builds a narrative that what this all really means is we need more gun control. Come out screaming that Republicans are being targeted because of the left's assassination porn.

Causing chaos and then profiting by currency short-selling is close enough to his usual MO that your idea is at least plausible.

I've said before that the Leftist Globalists are still fixated on Europe as the core of their new empire, and we're just an obstacle to them.

So many things went as well as possible today.

The shooter was incompetent.

The Capitol Police were present, and responded flawlessly.

There were experienced medical personnel on hand to treat the Majority Whip.

Nobody was killed.

We should all say a prayer of thanks. For something like this to have happened, this is about the best result there could have been.

Ace did get involved and asked everyone to cool it, also saying that he needed a cob much more than any individual commenter...a reasonable stance, I should add. But Gabe never gave off the vibe that he was entirely connecting with The Horde, so he left.

708 On June 11th in Chicago, Bernie Sanders directed his followers to "Step up the resistance."

Looks like the shooter was in line with Bernie.

When will Bernie be investigated for inciting violence against the political opposition?

Will he renounce the violence and his comments calling to "step up the resistance"?

Bernie has brought Venezuelan and Cuban socialist politics to American soil.

To my know,left there is no developed information on the shooter or his weapon and how or why he obtained it, much less that any of the usual measures trotted out would have kept a gun out of his hand.

I think it much more logical to propose that the shooter is mentally ill, or a terrorist, and that better management or restriction of liberty of persons with paranoid disorders (ESP with concommitant substance abuse or violent episodes or ideation) and terrorism control might have better effect.

To my know,left there is no developed information on the shooter or
his weapon and how or why he obtained it, much less that any of the
usual measures trotted out would have kept a gun out of his hand.

The carbon credits juxtaposition ing with real world horror was my idea of bitter sarcasm, but I like to quote you, because it needs to be repeated and repeated.

Forced greening as a rule involves inferior products that are worse than useles, even in their objectives, let alone the comfort and safety of the persons affected by them.
Better, cost effective, safer products find their own market.

The relationship was broken way before that. Gabe was, well, relentless in his marriage "rights" posts and tended to condescend and belittle commenters who took issue with it.

Ace did get involved and asked everyone to cool it, also saying that he needed a cob much more than any individual commenter...a reasonable stance, I should add. But Gabe never gave off the vibe that he was entirely connecting with The Horde, so he left.

It wasn't one final straw that did it...it was a burn that had been going on for quite awhile.

Posted by: WitchDoktor, AKA VA GOP Sucks at June 14, 2017 09:56 AM (tVWQB)


It's always interesting to see the stories about past events here. We really do need an AoSHQ historian. Some things get... misremembered.

Your take is pretty much dead on though. Gabe was nasty, and fairly un-adult about it at times. And it wasn't always about his pet topics. Somebody could try to argue a point with him, and before you knew it he was slashing and cutting with insults. So then people insulted him back. And then it got to be "oh, you people are picking on me because I'm gay."

It was childish.

I do get Ace's stance, but really, Ace is a nice guy. Loyal to a fault sometimes.

956 This has probably already been noted in the many comments above, but even if it has it deserves repeating. Ace has rightly insisted that the liberal/progressive/Democrats *must* be made to suffer under the same rules that they have insisted for us.

In that light, I must say that the liberal/progressive/Democrats are DIRECTLY responsible for this hate crime due to their continuing, insane campaign of hate against those who disagree with them politically. As far as I'm concerned, under their own rules, THEY might as well have been holding the rifle that shot Rep. Scalise and the other Republicans present at that practice.

And if some Republicans in the party aren't assigned the responsibility of coming out and telling the country that and in those terms, then we will have 100% assurance that the GOP and the Republicans in Congress are perfectly happy being serfs under the liberal/progressive/Democrats rules.

959 "There are too many guns on the street. We lose 93 million Americans a day to gun violence." - Gov. Terry McAuliffe

McAuliffe apparently loses the same number of brain cells a day.

963 Welcome to the new normal! Pack accordingly, I guess.

Fortunately, he was about as competent as any other leftist douche nozzle.

This was an attempt at political assassination, pure and simple.

Therefore, I fully expect the local Pravda outlets to begin blaming this unfortunate, but TOTALLY understandable, incident on Trump and his supporters. In.......3,2,1......

Posted by: Hmmmm at June 14, 2017 10:37 AM

Abject surrender is what we're seeing when they claim to be "coming together". They still fear the MSM, and don't want to be called out for "politicizing" a political mass assassination attempt.

Posted by: Captain Hate

He was intellectually dishonest, and beclowned himself repeatedly. All due to these stances. And didn't like it. And resorted to drive by comments. The day that SCOTUS upheld both gay marriage AND Obamacare was a bad one, in that he tried defending one over reach while denouncing the other.

it didn't play well.

When this asshole steamrolled 200,000 felons into the voting rolls, many of whom were violent, it initially meant that ALL of their rights were restored, including the right to bear arms.

Was that the final result, or did they get back only the right to vote?

984 Regarding the London fire, and Muslims supposedly in the building.

In the history of terrorism, there have been multiple incidents where bombers hoisted themselves on their own petard. Bill Ayers fun loving friends come to mind. it has happened to some IRA groups as well. It's happened in Iraq with Al queada making IEDs.

It would be sad if that misery was caused by such an incident.Not the bombers, but everyone else.

"Gentlemen may cry Peace, Peace but there is no peace.The war is actually begun! ... Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentleman wish? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery?"

Those are the choices Getcha... Our betters have determined that we are to be slaves to the state and, when we have resisted at the ballot box, they have shown no compunction about stirring their followers to violence against us (while standing down and allowing that violence).

Posted by: Lizzy at June 14, 2017 10:33 AM (NOIQH)
__________________

Why yes we have, and thanks for asking.

"Assassination" or "assassination attempt" means when a deranged, knuckle-dragging, deplorable Republican (or Trump voter) tries to do violence against a noble, pure, holier-than-thou paragon of virtue and tolerance, otherwise known as a Democrat.

Contrast this with any type of violence against a Republican or Trump voter, which is always going to be accidental, unintended, motive unknown, etc.

Posted by: THE LEFT at June 14, 2017 12:19 PM (nS5LK)

994 They made a movie about GWB being assassinated when he was elected.

They held a mock beheading of GWB in 2007

They hung Sarah Palin effigies around the same time AND dug through her fucking garbage to find ways to insult her DISABLED child.

They recently kidnapped and tortured a special needs person "because Trump."

They dragged people from their cars and beat the shit out of them all the while screaming "You voted Trump!!" (There is video of this, google it)

They just recently walked down streets holding a Trump effigy and smashed the shit out of it.

That stupid cunt Kathy Griffin held up a severed head (Like ISIS does to innocent men women and children)

They stage plays depicting ASSASSINATION PORN

and then shit like THIS happens, and we usually just lie down and continue to get kicked because "we don't want to stoop to their level.."

Then, to top it all off, the media either buries the story, or just outright lies.


There is a very disturbing pattern of lawlessness and violence among the left when they don't get their way.

Call me whatever the hell you want but if we don't start defending ourselves politically, socially, and physically, there won't be anything left of our great country.

I am not advocating random violence like these pieces of shit engage in. More importantly, I am not advocating we engage in ANY of the despicable behavior the lawless left does.

Our side needs more than Fox news, or Brietbart, or these blogs. The violence committed DAILY by the left needs to be exposed and the people who engage in such acts need to made examples. LONG prison times etc..

For instance, people like Madonna and Cunty Griffen should have to face a ligation labyrinth if you will. Make life VERY difficult for them at every level possible.

Let these shit heads know that it's NOT OK to say "burn down the WhiteHouse" or hold a severed head of a President.

Sorry you sounded just like a Soros paid troll trying to instigate violence from the right.


It has nothing to do with your quoted line: it has to do with being George Soros and friends' puppet and dancing when he pulls the strings. He wants a war between the left and the right. He doesn't care who wins that war - he intends to profit off the chaos by short selling. He needs to be extradited, given a fair trial, and a first class hanging, for incite to riot - which he clearly has been doing.
