Yes, the second tweet is a year old, and being brought up to expose Ryan's hypocrisy.

The dude was a whack job, he's been in trouble multiple times. He was a nutter, not a "patriot" or a "revolutionary", just a common, garden variety, homicidal asshole.

EVERYBODY needs to chill the fuck out. Liberals, Conservatives, all of them. The last thing we need in this country is a bunch of armed idiots shooting up whoever the target du jour is, because once that starts it's going to get real fucking ugly real fucking fast. You think there aren't one shitload of Bubbas out there cleaning their guns and waiting for the Call To Arms? Anybody here really want to see an armed insurrection in the U.S.?

It's called "integrity". Something you won't see from the Rethuglicons on this.

Actually, in this case it's attempted murder.

Nope, it's overthrowing a tyrannical government just like the founding fathers suggested.

More like what the lunatic fringe on the far left and far right might suggest. The assassination of duly elected or appointed public officials was not something suggested by the founding fathers or the Continental congress.

How is it hypocrisy? He didn't say the guy shouldn't have a gun. Irony, perhaps.

Well, the death toll would definitely have been no lower if only the police had guns, since the attacker was the only one killed.

"Integrity" is shooting at the winners of a democratic election when you lose? I guess it explains a lot if that view is common on the left. I do agree Republicans don't think that way.

BREAKING: The shooter was radicalised by Shakespeare.
https://heatst.com/culture-wars/breakin ... us-caesar/

Right-wing activists Jack Posobiec and Laura Loomer disrupted a Friday night showing of the controversial Shakespeare in the Park rendition of “Julius Caesar” as an act of protest against the assassination scene where a President Donald Trump lookalike is stabbed by his senate cohorts.

A video was tweeted out by Posobiec at 9:13 PM showing Loomer rushing the stage and yelling that the scene was an “act of political violence against the right.” She proceeded to scream it was “unacceptable” before a woman over a megaphone announced that the play was paused. The crowd began booing as she was escorted off the premises by security.

As Loomer is taken away, Posobiec stands up and accuses audience members of being like Joseph Goebbels, the infamous Nazi propaganda minister. Posobiec also yelled that the blood of shot Republican Congressman Steve Scalise is on the hands of those in attendance.

It didn't long for bottom-feeding troglodytes in the GOP to attempt to politicise this;

Ffs, I know that. The right wing gun nuts love to throw that justification out even though it's just a made up pile of bs.

Because he claims guns are a valid tool to express dislike of the government and then when it happens through attacks on a republican government it's suddenly a big no-no.

No, not really, but a lot of those bubbas would like to see a life-like simulation. Too much simulation, not enough reality.
