Highlights:
- Being responsible for the biggest act of mass murder committed by an American citizen except for Timothy McVeigh blew up the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in 1995 is not enough of a reason to hate someone, according to Fox News.
- Even some Fox News people are willing to call bullshit on their attempts to shoehorn the event into their preferred narratives.
- Colin Kaepernick is somehow to blame for the shooting.
- Sean Hannity tries to pull the "a good guy with a gun could have stopped the shooter" card, even though the shooter was 400 YARDS AWAY FROM HIS TARGETS, PERCHED IN A 32ND FLOOR HOTEL ROOM. Even if this wasn't Las Vegas we're talking about, it would be very hard for someone to take him out. And as someone who went to Vegas two years ago, it's really fucking hard for a pedestrian to actually get around in Las Vegas, and having pedestrian bridges help a lot less than you might think; something that would, in any other city, be two blocks' distance can easily become an endurance march. And a big music festival in the streets can only make everything a lot harder to just get around.
The worst part of that video, is back when Giffords got shot sane DEMS were saying "We need to limit the size of the clips".
Now here is fuckface Hannity saying "if he is out of bullets".
Oh but we all know only responding with a firearm is the only way...............
Yep, like the church shooting a couple weeks ago where a guy .........OH WAIT he confronted the shooter without a gun.
Hannity and the nutters have this fucking delusional Dirty Harry image that the good guy always wins and the cop slides across the hood of the muscle car while rolling over firing two handguns at the bad guy.
Laypeople didn't get this guy, in the end he shot himself when he knew people were closing in. But especially in this situation, just like the Dallas police shooting, FUCKING LEAVE IT UP TO THE PROFESSIONALS, when it comes to use of a firearm.
People forget the other Tea party couple whom ambushed and murdered TWO cops then walked across to a Walmart and a well intended but NOW DEAD concealed carry civilian tried to confront the guy, but didn't see his girlfriend, she shot him and killed him because he didn't see her.
It is a fucking fairy tale that the Roy Rogers and The Lone Ranger always win. In reality even cops get murdered, and those are people with far more training than your average civilian.
Hannity was fantasizing that he could have done what? I am sick of that network and all it's fucking bullshit fantasy and fear.
