I think it is a natural partnership.

The guy pulled his "piece" when the shooter was running out, so it didn't make any difference.

We don't know that now do we. I'm pretty sure getting shot at would make your decision to stay or leave easy.

But Trumps fault.

He was in his car when they fired at him, that would be a little late to say the least if the gun didn't jam.


Its not Trumps fault but he does give impetus to these white nationalists through his rhetoric, strange relationship since his daughter is Jewish as is his close advisor Stephen Miller.

Depending on what news source you believe there were pics of an AR in the car. So, if he did indeed drop his weapon inside, as the news 8 here states, he had another in the car.


Equating Trump to this is beyond bizarre. I mean, asinine. If this guy's story is true he hated Trump.

They're being pretty tight with details on this. We don't know for sure what exactly he used. All we really know is he was a young nut case who probably spent way to much time online, lived with his parents and didn't have a job like a 19 year old male should have. But that would have cut into his computer time.


He is representative of a LOT of young men these days. Living with Mom and Dad when they should be out on their own in the workforce. Not online 24/7 looking at garbage sites and developing these ideas that doing something stupid will somehow be productive.

Her official statement:

“My heart is breaking after today's deadly shooting at Chabad Congregation in San Diego—on the last day of Passover and 6 months to the day after the Tree of Life shooting," Omar said.

"We as a nation must confront the terrifying rise of religious hate and violence," she said. "Love trumps hate."”

Still crickets from Ted Cruz and others though.

Opposite world...or sarcasm. Must be one or the other.
You’re right, I don’t subscribe to the NYT, but have lost respect for this newspaper.

I happen to agree with the American Jewish Committee, Jonathan Greenblatt and Netanyahu’s son Yair, to name a few, who were outraged and called it a vile and anti Semitic picture. The fact that it was published during Passover is something else to think about. Yair mentioned that the NYT used to bury stories during WW 2 and what was happening to the Jews, on the back pages. Interesting piece of information and food for thought as to the mindsets of people who run this paper.

Opposite world...yes it seems so.

Probably social media and too much time on his hands are at the heart of this, not too much different from those who decided to join ISIS.
