Another fucking spree shooting. Great.

and given that it's a white guy, the false flag narratives have already begun

What the fuck is the logic in this. it's a false flag bc it's a white guy w/ no clear political/radical/terrorist bent?

isn't Dildo a Logic Master?

was he always so batshit? what happened to him?

I recommend tracking down that longform profile of him from a few months back

it's a false flag bc it's a white guy w/ no clear political/radical/terrorist bent?

was he always so batshit?

Having bought and read "The Dilbert Future" when it was published, I can say the answer to this is "yes".

Well that crowd was pretty psyched when the "Bernie Bro shooter" happened
xp

Should we still ignore Alex Jones who has his batshit false flag shenanigans lined up already? He was thanked by The President after the latter's election tbf.

yea he's always been pretty nuts but this deep dive into MRA/Alex Jones territory seems to be a somewhat recent development

If you've got a looney prez who surrounds himself with loons like that, idk

creating a safe space for unfeeling red pilled white males since 1996

to be fair I have no idea what Dilbro is getting at there and tbh I don't think he does either

Always, always, always ignore Alex Jones.

I don't even think he has the 'stopped clock' thing going for him.

Crisis actor expert @ScottAdamsSays will be on Fox News later tonight to discuss.

I can't even deal with this.

he was good in Waking Life lol

I'm changing my job description to 'fuckwit cartoonist expert.'

it was cool to watch him smoke pot for the first time on Joe Rogan and then have a mild panic attack

OK, I've never heard of "crisis actors" til now, and my opinion of humanity has apparently not bottomed out yet.

this is worth your time, although perhaps at a later date

OT: For someone with only 2-3 borrowed insights (Peter principle is real, most committee meetings are pointless, engineers should supervise engineers), he's had a pretty charmed life.

The National Rifle Association (NRA) has delayed political advertisements in Virginia in the wake of a mass shooting in Las Vegas that left more than 58 people dead and more than 500 injured.

The nation’s largest gun rights organization had originally booked $32,000 in cable television advertising to begin Tuesday, according to Advertising Analytics, a nonpartisan ad-buying firm that keeps tabs on the television market.

Now, those advertisements will begin on Oct. 10. At the same time, the NRA will devote just more than $1 million to ads airing on broadcast networks in markets around Virginia.

What do you have to do to get your own dedicated massacre thread these days??

as someone else on twitter observed, they've even learned to predict how long the national outrage will last

i hate to admit it but i feel like after Sandy Hook i'm just numb to this shit now, except the sense there's an ever-expanding group of places/events where i should "stay frosty" in the event that some dude i've never met got mad that morning about his job at the place i just happen to be at or w/e

OT: For someone with only 2-3 borrowed insights (Peter principle is real, most committee meetings are pointless, engineers should supervise engineers), he's had a pretty charmed life.

most definitely a right time/right place kinda guy, though the first 6-7 years of Dilbert were pretty good

pretty amusing that he's thrown away what remained of his dignity in servitude of the living embodiment of the pointy-haired boss

for guys like Adams and Baio and even James Woods this is the best gig they've had in a decade

I guess we need to get to the point where every person in America knows someone killed in a mass shooting in order to stop this "crisis actor" nonsense. We probably will get to that point, and it probably still won't help.

Not only is Fox News giving airtime to an expert in crisis actors (a made-up thing), they're giving it to fucking Scott Adams. What the fuck is going on.

I think that tweet was satire, correct me if I'm wrong

ugh guys i hate to say this but i just heard:

active shooter at USC

xpost 2017 protip: if it seems like OTT satire, it's probably real.

who the hell knows anymore

Seeing tweets about no evidence of active shooter at USC

I think that tweet was satire, correct me if I'm wrong

no

the first good news of the day : /

Reported that the Vegas shooter had 19 rifles in his hotel room, two mounted on tripods and hundreds of rounds of ammunition (though that was a given).

19.

nothing to see here folks, this is america, the tree of liberty must be refreshed by the blood of people just hanging out having a good time.

i think we need to talk to hotel 'security'

xp you joke, but real life is beyond parody and sarcasm

Bill O'Reilly responded to the worst mass shooting in U.S. history on Monday morning by suggesting these types of events are simply “the price of freedom.” In a blog post on his website, O’Reilly wrote, “Once again, the big downside of American freedom is on gruesome display.” He went on to declare that “government restrictions will not stop psychopaths from harming people,” adding: “The NRA and its supporters want easy access to weapons, while the left wants them banned. This is the price of freedom. Violent nuts are allowed to roam free until they do damage, no matter how threatening they are. The Second Amendment is clear that Americans have a right to arm themselves for protection. Even the loons.”

took me awhile to figure out what the hell ol Bill was saying there, i came away thinking i should move to Iceland.

The shooter had been at the hotel for a few days, probably pretty easy to bring a couple of guns up there at a time. Also, apparently there is (was?) a big Vegas gun show in a few days, so piles of guns might not be a problem.

Which of course is the problem: piles of guns. Piles of guns should always be a problem. Hotel security is a distant second to people with piles of guns.

Has it been confirmed if any of the guns were automatic? Automatic guns are, supposedly, illegal. Don't know the legal status of semi-automatic weapons tweaked to be fully automatic. I know guns nuts pride themselves on trading and upgrading parts to build the killing machines they most desire. A scope here, a silencer there, a magazine there ...

The price of our freedom to own massacre weapons is massacres, yup, seems about right.

Piles of guns just being carried about are clearly not something america cares about, if that skinhead on the Vice Charlotteville doco was anything to go on. He was casually unpacking a large bag full of guns and scattering em all over his bed on camera.

i actually respect bill o'reilly's statement. if you support private gun ownership, you are also in effect saying that innocent lives are a reasonable price to pay for your stupid fucking hobby. at least he's honest

The price is someone else's blood, as always with these fucks

Does the Dickhead in Chief actually hunt or own guns? He might be the least gunny pro-gun prez ever.

Find me a single spouse, parent, or child of a dead victim of one of these shootings who agrees that it's "just the price you pay for freedom."

let's put a few who disagree in a locked room with BO'R
