Says a lot for the pious gits that flog some old geezer for a bottle of homebrew or kill people for their sexual preferences!

Now, in what city might a fellow be in which he comes off stage only to discover that his tour bus has been nicked? :roll:

At the very least I hope he demanded a refund from the young chap he'd no doubt paid to look after his vehicle.

If the boot was on the other foot I wonder how many white men would have charges dropped if posting similar about ethnic women?

She's a div, but she was quite clearly making a joke.

I disagree fundamentally with what she's saying but the police should never have been involved.

The "kill a white man" obviously wasn't serious. But can you imagine someone using the same on a black man or woman ? There'd be a return to hunting with dogs on whoever wrote it. "It was a joke" wouldn't cut much ice.

The demand that certain events should exclude white males were unlikely to be a joke. Overstepping herself maybe but I'm certain she meant it.
Not advocating mass-murder as an entirely positive experience, of course, but it had its moments.

Agreed on the second paragraph, that's why she's a div. Symptomatic of the shithouse left that thinks changing language equates to changing things, and which is riddled with relativist double and triple standards that excuse anything that isn't the single worst thing to have ever happened, namely Western Capitalism.

Another day in America - another mass shooting of course.

These things barely make the news now - how bad's that?!

It's a mass shooting, whether borne of terrorism or not. Although I don't doubt that someone will have desperately tried to shoehorn in a link given the names of the perpetrators sounding a bit Iraqi.

indeed it is...

mass shootings in America are very rarely referred to as "terrorism" even when dozens are shot dead or blown up in a political cause (like at abortion clinics and such)...

i have no idea of the motivation for this one - but you're right - it is now so common in America as not really to be considered all that newsworthy... :(

Well, certainly Arabic names though he was born in the US. I suppose we will find out more later. It is certainly big news over here.
