What stupid thing did the GOP say or do this time? Episode 3!

Police arrest man in Milwaukee with AK-47 outside RNC

A man armed with an AK-47 and wearing a ski mask was taken into custody Monday near the Fiserv Forum, where the Republican National Convention is being held.

this is a WORRYING trend...

 

[abates]

At this point I would not be surprised if it was an alt-right idiot who thought he was going to turn up and provide extra security or something.

 

[Rhinox]

. . . . yeah, that actually would fit the current zeitgeist.

 

[NovaSaber]

Seriously? You think the biggest ***** in the world agreed to get his ear blown up and a bullet two inches away from taking his head off? That the shooter agreed to die, for what? A payoff he'd never get to enjoy and his family would likely never get. And so on.

You're better than this Wonko.

While I very definitely don't think it was staged at all, I also highly doubt the shooter expected to survive, no matter what his motive was.

 

[DefaultOption]

I have yet to see anything to convince me this wasn't staged yet, and the lack of an obvious reason still kinda supports that.

Nah. If nothing else the gun he used isn't accurate enough at that distance to be guaranteed a near miss.

 

[NovaSaber]

Somehow there are idiots claiming that Democrats need to tone things down, meanwhile Republicans are saying things like this:

GOP governor candidate calls to "kill" the left: "Kill them!" - LGBTQ Nation

He also considers LGBTQ+ people as "filthy" "demons" who "mentally rape" children.

Indeed. Especially when you consider he was just using iron sights.

 

[wonko the sane?]

So now I'm really just taking the piss on this.

It didn't have to be a near miss: they just needed someone to shoot at trump. So they paid some kid, and then everyone fucked it up on every step. Who ******* shoots at that range with just iron sights: especially when scopes aren't hard to get or install. I had a 2X scope for a while: one of my friends bought it as cosplay for his paintball rifle, and just ******* gave it to me when he changed his mind.

There's still no reason at all from this completely unprepared kid. And when you combine it with the fact that it was only a couple of months ago that alex jones was talking about how trump getting shot would help republicans... it still screams scam to me. Someone passed a bad idea all the way up and the screaming narcissist jumped on it because all he cares about is ratings.

Gotta save some material for upcoming episodes, KidTDragon.

Is there any good thing Republicans aren't against?

The MAGA Plan to End Free Weather Reports

Project 2025 would all but dissolve the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

. . . . . I'm not there yet to buy into anything, but seriously, iron sights?
I have a ******* red dot on my pistol. It came factory installed and zeroed. And it was cheaper than quite a few others without sights. Most people i know who have rifles have some kind of sight on them beyond mere iron sights.

 

[wonko the sane?]

Well, how about a little light hearted news?

Apparently grindr is being used to much in milwaukee right now that it's suffering service outtages.

Yeah.

 

[CoffeeHorse]

All of my weapons are iron sights only, except for my shotgun which has no sights at all.

 

[KidTDragon]

How about a little more light-hearted news?

Not even a bead sight?

 

[CoffeeHorse]

Not even a bead. It's an old Mossberg 500AB. The Kmart version.
