A white supremicist quoted and praised the president in a manifesto before murdering 50 people, the president continued to intentionally use that same language for political gain, and most of the last page and a half is about whether or not a kid who got beat up by adults for breaking an egg on a racist was awesome or just a shit.
Can we talk about the awesome guy who went after the main shooter throwing a portable Eft-Pos machine at him and shattering his windscreen with one of the discarded guns?
Also - there seems to be little to no information out there about the other two people involved

Yeah, I haven't heard anything about the other two people arrested.

Yep. Great work. No good can come with those arms being available to anyone.
Meanwhile in Australia there are people asking for more relaxed laws.

Ozzy Osbourne didn’t inspire a kid to shoot up his school, therefore the group that developed and spread the “It’s Okay to Be White” slogan because they thought it was a great way to make people angry at each other has no impact on white nationalist violence.
It's worth remembering that the descriptions on the previous page, and others which you are likely to hear going forward, are not about "all people who make or share political memes," but rather a specific internet subculture....the one that simmers around the chan sites.
In that context, the association with shitposting culture and intolerance is pretty naked.
Remember those four white power dudes that Rolling Stone tracked from their first racist posts on 4chan to the point where they joined the fucking Atomwaffen Division? And then one of them murdered two people? Remember how gleeful the chans were after they adopted the ‘OK’ white power hand symbol as a joke, and then the media fell over itself because the adoption made it
more confusing to identify white power advocates? Remember when 4chan thought it was hilarious to try and coax undocumented immigrants into deportation traps with fake "free iced coffee" notices? Calling it Dreamer Day? To the point that Starbucks had to issue a statement about it? Or the channer who vowed on 4chan to kill any black people who remained on Howard University’s campus the next morning? Remember how posts scheming to spread disinformation were swamping 8chan within half an hour of Parkland? Including comments like “Hope the kid isn’t white,” and “Start looking for Jewish numerology and crisis actors?”
The most amazing thing about the “jokey racism on a website that specializes in mocking others and deriding empathy obviously doesn’t influence white nationalism and/or violence” argument is that it’s coming from the same group that thinks young college graduates are all unavoidably brainwashed if their professors trend liberal.
Charlottesville schools have been closed for two days now, due to a credible white supremacist “ethnic cleansing” threat made on 4chan

I’ve said it before: if I were a gun owner, I would hate the NRA. They’re almost singular in their determination to paint gun owners in a negative light

This of course doesn't matter if SCOTUS doesn't take the opportunity to smack down the 9th circuits inevitable and terribly reasoned reversal of this decision. Any chance of them revisiting Heller on this or any other issue?

In the past few days since this ruling, Californians have bought somewhere north of 1 million standard capacity magazines. The AG is asking for a stay, so the party will end soon.

I'm trying to find it. Brownell's (just one vendor) reported sales of 325,000 magazines, per some righty reporter on twitter.
I'm seeing things selling out, which makes sense because theres about 20 years of pent up demand.

I thought he would be sufficiently miffed if I sent him a Free Beacon link.
Sadly I cannot find the original source. I probably should save these things.
