Claims HIS son would have a gun. THIS attitude is EXACTLY what is behind this situation. Sexist, neanderthal, ignorant, violent - VILE.
"cower like a bitch"...
EDIT:
THIS was Kincannon's comment for the Chris Martinez's father, who is grieving the murder of his son - real nice eh?

(37,540 posts)7 people dead and I'd blister the guy for using inappropriate language...instead of addressing the core of his message? 7 people died and this asshole wants to tell us how tough his son might have been. But you want to focus on his misogynist language? Really...that's what what you take out of his tweet?

(35,961 posts)It was these bits, aimed at a parent whose child had just been murdered by a gun-wielding maniac:
"No idea how my son will die, but I know it won't be cowering like a bitch at UC Santa Barbara. Any son of mine would have been shooting back."
and
"Fuck him. He is a piece of shit. His tragedy sucks, but he blamed me for it and wants to take away my rights."
Sickening.

defacto7
(13,485 posts)He dug an illogical hole and fell into it in a way that removes all doubt that he was referring to women using that word and meant it as the ugliest misogynist slur he could possibly regurgitate... because... a bitch is a female dog and the bitch never cowers... the bitches are the leaders of the pack and the alpha bitch will defend the pack with her life and against all male dogs within that pack.
SO... he has no idea what his words meant. At that point only the context he was trying to impress is important and THAT was truly damnable. His analogy is a logical fallacy. His point was a prejudiced, self-aggrandizing slur that puts him directly in the same class with E. Rodger.
Welcome to hell Mr. Kincannon.

(17,862 posts)Chairman of the Simpsonville, South Carolina Election Commission of Simpsonville.
Someone might want to ask Erskine College about his activities. He has a scholarship awarded in his name to that college.
He has called an Eastern Orthodox lawmaker a papist, and said infant baptism is water torture. He apparently likes to pretty much piss everyone off.

(12,530 posts)He acts the way he does for shock value, for attention. That's not to say he isn't a piece of shit--he most assuredly is. But yes, this tweet is entirely in line with his other tweets. It's Todd Kincannon through and through.
