  • Downvoting not because of the celebration of death, but because of the assertion that they are traitors.

    They are categorically not traitors. They are following orders from a military headed by a democratically-elected government. To disobey those orders, let alone turn their weapons against our government would be treason.

    Traitors to humanity and decency, yes. But not to the United States. Racism, empire, and brutality are not “UnAmerican.” To pretend that this isn’t what we are is a pointless, false platitude grounded in propaganda that we’ve been fed since we were children. If Americans want to be better, then we need to undergo complete transformation, not just course correction. And part of that has to be letting go of these warped, atrophied feelings of patriotism for an ideal that doesn’t and largely has never existed.





  • Terminal ballistics is basically chaos theory at work. Rifle rounds aren’t packed with explosives, they can leave relatively clean exits regardless of how much ass they have behind them. The round might have only traveled through a few inches of flesh which isn’t really enough to destabilize a round like that.

    The going theory, one they have on video, mind, is that he stuffed the rifle down his pants while he scrambled off the roof, no disassembly. He hobbled to the treeline and disposed of it.

    This is “the Las Vegas shooting was done by multiple CIA operatives with belt-fed machine guns to force a gun ban” levels of analysis. There’s a plausible explanation, but it’s more convenient for some people’s political biases to believe in a conspiracy.
