Trump: Mass Killers Are "Geniuses," We Can't Do Anything to Stop Them

Trump: Mass Killers Are “Geniuses,” We Can’t Do Anything to Stop Them

But a giant wall will stop those Mexicans

PoliticsOctober 2015 • Views: 47,390

Donald Trump constantly promises to build a huge, beautiful wall on America’s southern border that will be infallible at preventing Mexican “rapists and criminals” from entering the US. There’s absolutely no way these illegal aliens will be able to figure out how to get around his gigantic 1500-mile beautiful wall, nope, no sir.

But mass killers? Well, they’re geniuses, you see, and there’s absolutely no way to stop them from getting around any safeguards we put in place, no matter what we do.

“No matter what you do, you’re gonna have problems,” Trump told NBC News in an interview that aired Sunday. “Because you have sick people. They happen to be intelligent. And, you know, they can be sick as hell and they’re geniuses in a certain way. They are going to be able to break the system.”

Determined killers, Trump continued, are still “gonna be able to get into a school or get into something.”

“It’s a horrible thing to say,” he added. “And it’s not even politically correct. But it’s common sense. You’re going to have problems no matter how good, no matter what kind of checks you do, you know, what kind of laws.”

No matter what we do! And especially not laws restricting access to guns. No way that would ever work.

Break the system… as in, purchase guns legally, legally bring them onto a school campus, and remain law-abiding citizens up until the point where they start firing.

Geniuses, truly.

The gun lobby has a done an exquisite job of making the perfect the enemy of the good; “Regulation won’t eliminate all gun crimes so don’t bother.” Time to close the courts, disband the cops and open all the prisons because they haven’t eliminated crime either.

Blind Frog Belly White Oct 5, 2015 • 11:12:14am

Downstairs there was a discussion of whether or not Americans’ support for gun control was growing or fading. Josh Marshall had an interesting post on that very subject this morning. The key takeaway was that even among Republicans, support for gun control vs. support for gun rights was about 50:50, until 2008, when You Know Who was elected. The graph tells a pretty stark story - it’s now 75:25 for gun rights. Essentially, opposition to any gun control is now part of Republican self-identification, which was not true even as recently as 2007.

Yet another example of how the Right totally lost its shit when Obama was elected.

Mass killers are rare. Focusing the gun control debate on these guys is like focusing breast cancer research on microwave ovens.

62% of gun deaths are suicide. Mostly men. Mental health and guns is a much more important conversation because if we truly want to do anything useful around the shooters themselves then we might want to focus on the reality of who shoots whom and why. Newsflash, it’s not due to anyone being a “genius.”

Intelligence is not the issue here. Except for Trump’s intelligence, which is roughly equivalent to lint.

I lost my 4th dear friend to suicide this weekend. Gun. 4 kids. His 13 year-old found him. He was a lovely, lovely person who everyone adored. He hid how bad he was very well. He was alone in his house and the gun was there. Quick, deadly solution.

I have had ENOUGH of this nonsense about guns. There are too many out there available to too many people who are ill, incompetent, or just general assholes. My tolerance is at an end. If people truly want to stop gun violence, then damn it, help me keep them out of the hands of my friends.

Hearing the Right fall back on Mental Illness as the REAL reason for mass shootings and other gun violence is especially galling because they won’t do anything about THAT, either. And they certainly wouldn’t back any plan to deny guns to anyone currently under treatment for mental illness, so it’s clear what they’re actually doing is just distraction.

Actually, he makes Trump look pretty normal. Among other things, he personally wants to start a race war.

I am of genius intellect & cultured, well-educated & creative, well-mannered & refined. I am God’s gift to humankind where the English language is concerned, and I also happen to have a basic knowledge of Latin, Greek, French, Spanish, and Italian. I am musical & artistic; I am athletic & possessed of militant self-discipline; and I am many other things. I have a Cadillac & a poodle, multiple computers & a personal library; I live in an apartment downtown, right across the street from the courthouse; I have been to Paris & Vancouver, to Cairo & Dubrovnik, to Mexico City & Siracusa. I dress better than all of you, pronounce my words perfectly, and have a winning, professional handshake. I am everything you ever wanted to be.

I challenge any of you, then, to accuse me of being a failure in this artificial civilization of yours. For it is beyond dispute that I have played your petty game, and I have won.

11-year-old ‘bully’ murdered 8-year-old neighbor with a shotgun after dispute over puppy: police

An 11-year-old Tennessee boy has been charged with first-degree murder in the shooting death of an 8-year-old neighbor girl.

The Jefferson County sheriff said the boy, whose name has not been released, used his father’s 12-gauge single-shot shotgun to kill his next-door neighbor, McKayla Dyer.

The girl had been outside playing about 7:30 p.m. Saturday when the older boy asked to see her puppy, but she told him no, said Latasha Dyer, the girl’s mother.

She said the boy, who had bullied her daughter since moving to the mobile home park in White Pine, went home to get the shotgun and then shot her daughter in the chest.

Leadership. Basically a more detailed version of Jeb saying stuff happens so let’s not do anything.

No, it’s dishonest in a way Bush was not. Jeb’s basic point, which didn’t initially get broadcast, was that government shouldn’t necessarily change the law because something really bad happens. Sometimes the solution is not to be found in the law, and other times hastily-enacted laws make things worse in ways not foreseen when they were enacted.

Agree or disagree with Jeb, his basic point was defensible. Trump’s is not. He’s basically just spewing BS to avoid talking about a difficult topic on which he reversed himself in order to run for the Republican nomination. what he says is transparently untrue.

German General Erich von Manstein was a genius at all levels of war. But the Red Army still stopped his corps short of Leningrad (now St. Petersburg) in 1941. By Trump’s logic they should not have been able to do that, but luckily for Russia and for the world the armor of the KV-1 tanks guarding the approaches to the city and the courage of their crews was much stronger than lame-ass DERP.

For Marine Le Pen, Migration Is a Ready-Made Issue

AMIENS, France — At a recent campaign rally in this economically gloomy northern city, Marine Le Pen, the gravel-voiced leader of the far-right National Front party, barely mentioned the word migrant. But, then again, she did not have to.

The supporters who turned out for her at the event here along the Somme river brought up their fear of migrants, unprompted. Ms. Le Pen’s presence alone seemed enough to evoke it.

“They are going to invade us. Then, there really will be unemployment,” said Christian Sobo, a retired building worker. “There is more help for them than for us, the French.”

His wife, Katia, chimed in, mentioning Adolf Hitler: “What he did was monstrous. But we need someone with as much force as him now.” […]

I am actually listening to Ian Kershaw’s Hitler biography as we speak.it amazes me how in the 21st century and with tons of visual evidnece of the Nazis evils that some people openly hark for a new Hitler.

What they don’t understand when they say they want to defend is that in most instances of violence the attacker has the advantage and the victim most of the time doesn’t have time to defend.

re: #152 Dr. Matt

The general gun hoarder mentality: They buy one firearm and fantasize about using said firearm to fend off home intruders, or carjackers, or invading foreign armies. Of course, none of the aforementioned occurs, but the fantasies intensify. So, they go out and purchase a second firearm. Fantasies continue and again they continue to be safe and the firearms unused against bad guys. Another firearm, more fantasies, but nada. And they sick, perverse circle continues over and over.

You both are absoultely right. I tink it’s a dangerous mentality and worse is how many politicians pander to it.

re: #153 Shiplord Kirel

I’l be keeping my manual action guns, especially my prized single shot rifles. It occurred to me that the last mass shooter who used a manual action gun was the Texas Tower sniper back in 1966 and even he had a semi-auto on hand as well. As far as I can determine, every single one of the many maniacs since has used semi-autos of one kind or another.

And the reason mass-killers are using semi-automatics is _____________________________.

Fill in the blank. I think there is much to be found in the answers and how it all is related to the gun control debate.

And, the second amendment does not mention semi- or automatic guns.

And as Dark posted, he likes to stick to the original constitution and since semi- and automatic guns were not around at the time of the constitutional convention I am betting Dark and other’s that have issues with gun control, will have no problem not allowing them. /
