I think there's a small number of very sick folks out there (you deal with some at work, I presume). They have probably always been out there, but it's a safe bet it's easier for them to find dark things online which fuel their fantasies.

I also think our culture has a collective moral compass, that's badly in need of a tune up. Not enough empathy, not enough traditional family values, not enough fathers, not nearly enough good parents out there.

The pipe bombs were sent by an apparent Trump fan. The synagogue attack was carried out by a Trump hater. I think there's sociopaths on both sides.

Hating Trump doesn't make you a democrat Jim. The guy hated Trump because the President wasn't white nationalist enough.

True. But hating Trump and hating it when America sticks its neck out to help Israel, is becoming synonymous with Democrats. When will Israel stop picking on those innocent Palestinians, anyway?

But if you want a better example of a liberal sociopath, how about the guy in Dallas who assassinated the cops, is that good enough? Or was he actually a Republican too?

Every Democrat I know supports Israel, they just don't support a blind policy to aggression that isn't sufficiently justified and Israel frequently does cross the line with the US blocking them from accountability. I've said many times the situation there is a product of all parties involved.

I don't know if he was a liberal or not but it is a good case for better gun control.

Is it a good case for better gun control when a cop shoots an unarmed person?

Your talking on the edge of provoking stochastic terrorism.

it's been this way for some time .. totally unrelated to the motivation of both of theses Men , which is clearly displayed in their Social media posts which have been spread by and reinforced by other prominent conservatives some elected some not ..

Part of a Elie Wiesel quote I saw explained my position well

Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim.

just saying there's sociopaths on both sides which I am sure their are .. avoids seeing the elephant in the room ... and I see that as taking a neutral position...

"it's been this way for some time "

Our moral compass has been broken for some time, I don't think it's always been this broken.

"totally unrelated to the motivation of both of theses Men "

Maybe.

"just saying there's sociopaths on both sides which I am sure their are .. avoids seeing the elephant in the room "

What's the elephant in the room, exactly? Trump? Republicans?

"and I see that as taking a neutral position"

I don't have a neutral position on violent crime. I can promise you that my position is different than your position...that doesn't mean I don't have a position.

"their Social media posts which have been spread by and reinforced by other prominent conservatives "

Yes, if it wasn't for conservatives, there would be zero poverty, we'd all live forever, and unicorns would be floating down the street..

you avoid the elephant in the room once again ... you and others Have failed to address once the anti jewish conspiracies and other conspiracies promoted by prominent conservatives whom I have posted their tweets and they are very clear in their suggestions .. and how they are linked to the bomber and the shooter

with a lame response .. if it wasn't for conservatives, there would be zero poverty, we'd all live forever, and unicorns would be floating down the street..

ok so your not neutral its clear is this better your silent

Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.

Anti-Jewish Conspiracies? Antisemitism?

See any good college campuses lately?
