You talking about those four too?
You know in case anything happens and your denial of any link between trump words and violence is proven disastrously wrong?

Yes, you'd think so, wouldn't you. I mean, you'd hope so.

Well... yes, I would be strongly against that too. But, not everyone feels the same

To obsess about a poster for a tiny gun shop in a tiny part of America

To make some point in a UK forum

Really, is this where we are?

It is. We're pointing out the growing threat of far right violence in America as well as here (see the thread about the man convicted of murder threats to anti Brexit MPs).
And it's exactly where we should be.

Andy Ngo, which far right group attacked him?

Are you concerned about growing far-left violence too?

I'm concerned about violence full stop.
I dont see far left violence growing though.
Instead I see increasingly divisive and hateful language from right wing politicians and dangerous rise in far right activity in real life and online. Racism, sexism and xenophobia rising, white supremacist ideology given support by the us president.

Ngo? The same who wrote lies about London?

Yes, Trumpet. That is exactly where we are.

Advertising guns by making out that the Squad is the enemy is clearly provocation that makes targets of them. 'Hey, look at these people we want you to hate, now buy our guns!'

Given that, come October, we are going to have an even closer relationship with the US then we do now, it's only smart to keep track of US affairs. Trying to mini-mod by making out that we cannot speak about US issues because of.....reasons?... Does nothing but stiffle discussion and news.

US problems will become our problems come October, especially if they end up dragging us into a war with Iran because we'll be reliant on them in a no-deal situation.

Whataboutism and false equivalency, yet again.

You can't dismiss terrorism by trying to divert attention elsewhere just because you feel defensive over the term 'right wing' and you can't make out that throwing a milkshake over someone is the same as shooting them dead or inciting violence against them. Right wing terrorism is a real and growing threat that is recognised by security agencies on both sides of the atlantic. 'Left Wing terrorism' is just something fragile right wingers are desperate to throw about because they feel more protective of right wing terrorists then they do about condemning them and having to accept that something is wrong.
