    Oh, I'm sure it's true what you are saying.  But, do you think it would make a difference if you are about to kill a human being?  

    If you hunt, there’s a thing called buck fever. I’m 58 and I still get it. My heart starts beating through my ears. My hands shake, and I can barely think. But if I take just a few seconds, relax my breathing and focus, I can shoot a deer every time right where I’m aiming.

    He was bragging to a co-worker while working as an electrician about being able to shoot 400 yards.  Curious if his family are hunters.  Was this their Mauser?  If not, where did he get it.  And where was he practicing.  He had to be.  200 yard shot with a 5 mile and hour cross wind.    

    It’s not a very difficult shot. If he was aiming for the head (which makes sense), it was only a fair shot. Nothing spectacular. I had my son grouping within 1-1/2” of a bullseye at about 150 yards before he turned 12. Deer Hunters shoot 150 to 200 yard shots all the time. Sometimes a lot further.

    Question. My son watched the shooting  and is absolutely devastated. He didnt sleep the firs tnoght. Does anyone know how I can help him get past this. He didnt agree with Charlie, but he doesn't believe that he deserved to die

    I’m going to assume he is school aged. Tell your son that evil exists. Stay away from it. Tell him to do what he knows is right, to stay away from bad kids and listen to his mama. Tell him to seek knowledge and read a lot. Tell him hurting ANYONE over things they say is never OK no matter what. Most importantly, tell him if he drapes himself with the love of Jesus Christ, he will have eternal life in Heaven.

    And no one said any different.

    But why don’t we give the by far bigger problem more attention.

    If conservatives start shooting at the President and burning down cities, I guess I’ll reconsider.

    Your argument isn’t without merit, but why don’t we give both side’s problems the attention. You don’t have to answer, it’s a rhetorical question.

    Hmmm what is abortion again.  

    You'll find no argument from me there. But you'll also have to agree that certainly conservatives (behind closed doors, of course) have sought abortions just like liberals have - and everyone in between too.

    This is nothing more than a by-product of the hateful rhetoric that comes out of the mouths of Democrat politicians and the MSM.  This is what they want!  Democrats are pure evil, and it blows my mind that some still support this bunch.

    I agree. I don’t support the Democrat party whatsoever. But I’m not going to lump all Democrats into the same basket. My father-in-law, who passed away a couple years ago, voted for Joe Biden. He was afraid his benefits would be cut if he didn’t. He was scared. Old, frail and scared.He succumbed to his illness, and it didn’t really matter at that point. Regardless, he was a Democrat and one hell of a man. He didn’t agree with everything the Democrat party did, just like I don’t agree with everything republican. The people saying I hate all Democrats or I hate all Republicans are what’s wrong with what we have going on today. I don’t agree with the radical right or left. I lean pretty far right, but not to the point of wanting to take someone’s life or injure someone because I don’t agree. I think most Democrats are the same way. We just see the looney far left and think that all Democrats are like that. Well, they’re not. Misguided as they are, most Democrats don’t want to kill anyone over their ideology or beliefs.

    No one said none, but the right isn’t getting folks lathered up enough to make two attempts at the president and kill a good man for speaking truth that they disagree with.

    No, I’m not going too pretend they’re equal.

    And don’t stop posting, lol.

    Then I’ll say it again. Until there is a cool down from both sides, this ain’t gonna stop.

    The problem here is violence came from the left against a good man that spoke the truth.  I can easily see where the problem came from.

    I refuse to straddle the fence when one side is so much more flawed than the other.

    The problem is very easy to identify here, the time for holding hands and singing kumbaya has passed.  It’s no problem for me to point fingers.

    Yeah, you’re right. There’s no far right nut jobs. It’s all the left. I’ll quit posting.

    Sadly, you can’t identify where the problem is.  My side isn’t shooting at the President and killing political commentators we don’t agree with.

    I’m so sick of folks caving to the moral equivalence of liberals and conservatives.

    I’m not caving into anything. I’m just sick of a crap and the back-and-forth. I never said the left and right are morally equivalent. I simply said there are issues on both sides, and until both sides come to terms for that, this is not going to end. And sadly, none of us can’t identify where the problem is because we’re too busy pointing fingers at the other guy.

    Its highly disproportionately the Democrats and left that is violent. There was no assassination attempts on Clinton, Obama or Biden.

    They tried to kill Trump twice, and shot up Steve Scalise and the Republicans at a softball game. Cops and ICE are attacked daily and sometimes killed.   

    I don’t disagree.
     

    But we can’t stick our collective heads in the sand and be self righteous. It happens on either side. Maybe more on the left, but any violence or even attempt at violence of this sort is too much.

    Vitriol and hatred is rampant from the left AND the right, and that’s where this all starts.

    Nope, it was a conservative that was killed for their ideals, not a liberal.  So, not both sides.  But,  with the rhetoric coming from left, it’s going to get worse.  This is strictly one-sided.

    Sir, are you saying the tables have never been turned? Even recently? If You are not aware of any violence that has also originated from the right, then I beg you to research it. Neither side is innocent.
