    After Christchurch and a slew of other mass shootings over the last decade, including Norway. Especially with the rise of “white nationalism” and other groups it is time to ask ourselves wether we are at risk.

    Well with the left's war against white people its not surprising to see a rise in this type of violence in response to them.

    We here in the good old USA live in a perpetual WAR ZONE, and have for most of my life.

    I don’t watch MSNBC, and believe Russians are lurking around every corner, so I would say I’m not at risk of being radicalized.

    Is that a defence or an excuse?

    If I used that criteria I would believe many on the right are paedophiles

    I am thinking of getting radicalised against those who are becoming radicalised.

    I already am. People are posting from 4chan and 8chan here as well as Jihadwatch and a LOT of the other Stormfront wannabees

    We have even had at least one thread where the OP celebrated the Christchurch killings

    No kidding, this placed IS (and Has Been for several years) totally over-run by the RW.

    Of course, no shade intended, and as long as they post within The Rules of PF (and stay off the radar of The Mods) there is nothing that can be done.

    Free Country, "Live and Let Live", Etc.

    But, the RW (in General) and Trump Supporters (in Particular) are Exponentially Overrepresented at PF.

    ^Just to state the Mind-Bogglingly OBVIOUS. :salute:

    Try moving. I’ve lived a few places in the US my whole life and none of them were remotely like you describe.

    US has the third lowest murder rate in the Americas. Behind Canada and in a virtual tie with Chile.

    I'm not at risk. I'm a political pragmatic. Whats going to happen? I'll become extremely pragmatic?

    Would this thread exist if instead of Christchurch it was another Pulse Nightclub?

    It's a defense. A self-defense. And if anybody else did it, you would be fine with it.

    Don’t try and make yourself seem innocent. Extreme pragmatism has an evil sound to it. :)

    I’m pretty sure you’ve been validating your own impressions for a long time.

    Interesting to see that the msm is suggesting that we should look closely at the shooters ideology.
    Of course the hypocritical msm would not dare to look at the ideology of islamic jihad...
    Oh no...that would be islamophobic............

    No more so than those seeking to define themselves as victims because of what they see as bias
