I’m sure the police know more than the public. I trust the police over people on this forum posting dumb memes about race.

He was definitely trying to instill fear, but I don't see what his political motive could have been with random bombs. Most of the victims were people of color, but is there any proof he actually targeted them? If he did, then he's a terrorist. If not, he's basically like the dude in Tampa..just killing for sport.

By the way, I agree with one of the comments below the cartoon - those who make something about race that isn't about race at all are being racists themselves.

I hate to tell you, but there are indeed many liberal Christians. If you don't understand that, you don't understand much of anything.

Terrorist, sans any known political motives at this time.

So obviously the answer to this problem is to revoke the second amendment and confiscate the guns of all Americans.

Amiright?

Did it ever occur to you that some conservatives believe different things from other conservatives? But that they're still both conservatives?

You're basically telling us that, for example, conservatives who are against free trade aren't actually conservatives. Except that, many conservatives ARE against free trade. But that doesn't mean they aren't conservative.

For SPORT? Really?? Like it’d be ok if he’d just gotten a hunting license?

The best way to show that you're one of the cool kids, and definitely not a racist... is to become an anti-white racist. ...or an anti-white racism ally.
