Ginni Thomas and Donald Trump are similar in one specific way: They are absolutely sure that they

can get away with "ANYTHING", yes.."ANYTHING"... and never suffer any consequences.

..Something about today's news points to that..Let's see...??....???.........................................................

About these shooters. The idea goes back a long way. An example: Charles Whitman: Aug 1, 1966

Texas Tower Shooter I was alive then and remember it. I am sure some others here also remember it.
The guy climbs a Tower in Texas and shoots innocent people walking by. Horrific beyond belief. Unfortunately,
we live in a country where people shoot each other. Often, and this is very sad. Whitman killed 16 people and
wounded 31 before he himself was killed by a police officer.

Deadly shootings like the one in Buffalo could be prevented. Here's how: CNN Peter Bergen

Opinion by Peter Bergen, CNN National Security Analyst

______________________________________________________________________________________________


(CNN)The story is all-too familiar: A man allegedly armed with grievance and a gun kills fellow citizens who are strangers to him, singling them out only because of their race or creed.

It's a very American tale of domestic terrorism which appears to have struck once again on Saturday, this time in the city of Buffalo, New York. And it is playing out with increasing frequency in the United States.
In June 2015, a white nationalist killed nine people attending a Black church in Charleston, South Carolina. The shooter was hoping to foment a race war.

In June 2015, a white nationalist killed nine people attending a Black church in Charleston, South Carolina. The shooter was hoping to foment a race war.

In October 2018, during a shooting at a synagogue near Pittsburgh, an anti-Semite killed 11 people. The perpetrator blamed Jews for a migrant caravan that was then moving through Mexico.

Just as school shooters learn from other school shootings, terrorists learn from -- and are inspired by -- other terrorists. A manifesto allegedly published online by the Buffalo attacker named and celebrated several other racist terrorists.

And like the White supremacists accused in multiple recent mass shootings, the alleged attacker in Buffalo was obsessed with the idea that Whites are being "replaced" by other ethnic groups.

This Great Replacement theory animates many White nationalists, like those who attended a racist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, in 2017, where they chanted, "Jews will not replace us!"

In the long shadow of the 9/11 attacks, Americans tended to think of terrorism as emanating from jihadists, but today, far-right terrorists are the leading cause of lethal terrorist attacks in the United States. If we include the 10 people killed in the Buffalo attack, right-wing extremists have killed a total 122 people in the United States since the 9/11 attacks, while 107 people have been killed by jihadist terrorists, according to data compiled by New America, a research institution.

Total Proof that ..."Changing a Law, Over Time Saves Lives" Please read the chart at link below.

Seat Belt Laws went into effect in 1984. Other kinds of safety devises were also ordered to be put in on cars
over time...So look at the chart..Reduction in deaths ..35%.. from 1980 to 2020

Know anyone who's life was saved by a seat belt or harness thing that goes over chest?

Solution to Gun Control? Reject 2nd Amendment. It is that simple.

...So what if it is part of the so called, "Bill of Rights"? That one is outdated, just like slavery was outdated. So what
if it will be difficult to reject and do away with it? We did away with slavery. We can do away with an outdated, and
stupid amendment. No proof is necessary. Plenty of proof. Just read the news. Yes, some states have strong gun
control, and others don't. Forget that crap!!
...Reject and amend the constitution to do away with "Amendment 2". We did it with woman's right to vote, which was
illegal in many states, so we can do away with one amendment for good. We did it with slavery, so it can be done.......
So what isome states are against it.,..Just do it.

And it is obvious that this one results in many useless deaths......hundreds a year. Just do it, the proof is there...SO JUST DO IT! So what if there is going to be an argument against doing it....The Proof is There...Just Do It.

Yes, They will Get Donald Trump..Be Patient. It will all come out. Time on Our Side.

My patience is NOT GONE..WHY?. I lived through ...WATERGATE...THAT TOOK TIME, IN THE END, NIXON WAS
GONE & HUMILIATED
...............................................................

.................Many went to prison. If you watched the whole ugly mess, as I did, you wanted it to be over..and
.................it really wasn't over till Nixon resigned. Took a long time then, and now too.
.................You got to have ..ABSOLUTE SOLID PROOF!!!

We ain't there yet, but we are getting there. The proof is gradually getting out. It will be up
to Joe Biden or a judge, if he sends Trump to prison. Yes, Trump is guilty, but the proof must be attained legally.

.....................We are still having hearings, the proof will come, and it will be.. absolute proof. Why? say that.

..............Very Simple Indeed:..Donald Trump is an absolute crook who thinks he can get away with everything

.......................Yes, it is that simple..but sometimes it takes time to get the ... ABSOLUTE SOLID PROOF

......................AND ONE MORE.....TIME IS ON OUR SIDE, NOT THE SIDE OF DONALD TRUMP!...

.....................WATERGATE BREAK IN.......On June 17, 1972..........NIXON RESIGNS..AUG 9, 1974..

...................(keep this in mind, in 1972, Nixon won reelection by defeating George McGovern..in a landslide. &
I worked for McGovern and told people about...Watergate..but the proof was not out yet. Imagine
if you can, telling people who you met, door to door about the Watergate break in & they
closed the door on you...This was fall 1972, before Nixon won. Yes, NIXON WON IN 1972

The proof came out, but it took a whole lot of time. ........ And that is the total truth!!

About Stuart G

I thought I knew a lot, and I found out... how little I knew about what I know. And how much more there is to learn, if I listen and read what others have to say.
