Of course you'd use the least violent example.

What this man did is nuts, awful and terrifying to the people that came in contact with the packages.

But, more people have been actually injured by the left (baseball practice shooting, beatings at Trump rallies, Antifa riots) than by the right.

Average citizens being attacked for their political views is FAR worse than what this lunatic did.

And, he enjoys doing it. Absolutely loves it. Only problem is the country is being torn to pieces. That fact doesn't bother him. It's all about him.

The difference between Scalise and this would-be bomber is not one one Democratic congressperson or candidate berated or called out Scalise on anything. No lock him up, no fake news, no Scalise sucks, nothing. However, Trump has mocked and castigated just about every one of the Dems and CNN that the bombs were sent to. This guy even used the statement "CNN Sucks" that is promoted at Trump rallies. See the difference?

We’re in for some interesting times ahead as weak links on both sides flip out and start acting out . Well Maxine Waters, you got your wish. You wanted people to draw a crowd and push back, but you didn’t realize who else might be listening and push back on you.

Native Americans for Trump!

You right. It was still grainy, full screen.


They had a good close up of it.
It looks to be a custom made wrap skin.
It is not a bunch of bumper stickers, looks brand new and not sun faded at all in the Florida heat.
Having that on a vehicle here in Austin, and your van is not going to look perfect for long.
In Broward Co? A Trump Van without damage?


They say this guys internet profile starts in 2015. Nothing before that.
He has a very long rap sheet.


I was wrong, It was professional looking Trump crap, to the extreme.

So I ask you. Is Trump and his 10s of millions of supporters responsible? A simple yes or no will suffice.

no

I think this week's events are an opportunity for all of us to look in the mirror and reconsider the way we communicate our political opinions. There is a difference between healthy debate between people who disagree passionately and demeaning those whose beliefs do not coincide with our own. Calling for violence against others, even in a joking manner, is never acceptable.

I don't think so, it isn't in him. He has to be himself. The script that he read is as good as it will get.

He is already complaining about the bomb stuff.

You mean like these beatings at a Trump rally?
https://www.sfgate.com/aboutsfgate/a...n-11029327.php

The baseball practice shooting I addressed in another post. Trumps has repeatedly mocked and called out or called for violence against Obama, Hillary, Booker, Clapper, CNN, CNN bus running over Clinton, lock her up, applauding the body slamming of a journalist, etc. No Dem Congressperson called for violence against Scalise. See the difference?

You mean these kinds of antifa protests?
https://www.npr.org/2018/07/01/62509...sh-in-portland

I'm not supporting violence of any kind, antifa, or otherwise. I'm just saying to state that more people have been injured on the left than on the right is not accurate.
