Thanks to some sleuth work on the Internet, we're starting to learn more about Richard Poplawski, the 23-year-old who killed three police officers yesterday in Pittsburgh, evidently out of fear that his guns were going to be taken away.

thumb_mediumPoplawski2_a899a.JPGIt appears that what police may be looking at is a budding white supremacist who frequented one of the most popular neo-Nazi websites and harbored an apocalyptic dread of the federal government.

The Village Voice's True Crime Report has done a lot of the sleuthing. The thread of connective tissue involving the evidence they've uncovered isn't perfectly solid, but the strands are all well connected enough to suggest the general thrust is reasonably accurate.

The key is to look a little harder at the MySpace page of Poplawski's self-described "best friend," Eddie Perkovic -- the one that contains that anti-Semitic, anti-black racist rant, recommending that folks read David Duke and the Protocols. You can see Perkovic above, spouting the gun-nut line about how "he was gonna stand by what his forefathers told him to do."

The page also has links to his "friends" -- including one RichP, whose page has since been mostly wiped out, except for a Paul Reubens booking mugshot. There's a high likelihood that this RichP is in fact Poplawski, because Poplawski's StumpleUpon Page -- which features his photo -- also uses a "RichP" moniker. (We're in the process of trying to double-check the IPs.)

Well, as it happens, this same RichP has evidently posted at Stormfront.org -- the nation's most prominent and popular neo-Nazi Website. (True Crime Report has the links.) There, he evidently adopted the user name "Braced For Fate" and posted the following:

BracedForFate_9dfdb.JPG

"Braced For Fate" also posted a long anti-Semitic rant at Stormfront, which we're printing excerpts from below the fold.

Finally, the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review has some corroboration from other sources that indicates he fits this profile:

Richard Andrew "Pop" Poplawski's ex-girlfriend said he dragged her by the hair and threatened to shoot her.

He slept with a gun under his pillow in a basement room filled with firearms and ammunition, convinced that Jews controlled the media and President Obama was scheming to take away his arsenal, friends and relatives said Saturday.

"He was a violent, abusive man. He dragged me by the hair, pulling me across the floor. I saw him choke his own mother. He was controlling," said Melissa Gladish, 23, of Verona, his former girlfriend who received a protection from abuse order against him in 2005. She said she had no doubt he would kill someone.

"He was never afraid of anyone. Once, he accused me of cheating on him, which I didn't do. He told me he had a gun he kept buried ... and that he would dig it up and get me," she said.

... Despite nearly four years of estrangement, Gladish said Poplawski phoned her in the midst of his standoff with police.

"He said, 'I'm dying. I'm dying. I want you to know that I always loved you. You're still my baby,' " Gladish said. "I tried to calm him down. He said he was shot and that he was dying. He said, 'I'm lying in a pool of blood.' Then I heard a lot of noise, like a scuffle, and the phone went dead."

Finally, his old friend Eddie Perkovic pipes in too:

Perkovic said Poplawski usually was affable and kind, but grew angry recently over fears Obama would outlaw guns. He said Poplawski owned a bullet-proof vest, an AK-47 assault rifle and at least seven other weapons, but obtained the firearms legally.

He said Poplawski feared America was "going to see the end of our times." Poplawski had little interest in clubs or sports in high school, but was a diehard Penguins fan, Perkovic said.

Another Stanton Heights friend, Aaron Bire, 22, said Poplawski "talked about Zionists controlling the media and thought Obama had good press because of his race."

That meshes perfectly with the rant posted by "Braced For Fate" at Stormfront:

Decoding the collapse

First, let’s review a few basic tenets that are commonly espoused here on StormFront:

1. The federal government, mainstream media, and banking system in these United States are strongly under the influence of- if not completely controlled by- Zionist interest.

2. An economic collapse of the financial system is inevitable, bringing with it some degree of civil unrest if not outright balkanization of the continental US, civil/revolutionary/racial war, SHTF/TEOTWAKI scenario etc.

2A. This collapse is likely engineered by the elite Jewish powers that be in order to make for a power and asset grab.

Now, it seems to me that there is a need to reconcile these concepts into a seamless, sensible theory about our near future.

I don’t think there is any question that item 1 is the truth. ZOG is. One can read the list of significant persons in government and in major corporations and see who is pulling the strings. One can observe the policies and final products and should walk away with little doubt there is Zionist occupation and- after some further research & critical thinking- will discover their insidious intentions.

I also don’t think there is too much debate about the eventuality of a collapse of economic and social order in this country. All signs seem to point to a once great nation in the midst its last gasp, suffocating under the weight fiscal irresponsibility. Poisoned by design by the moral decadence that is a direct byproduct of item 1.

The purpose of this thread is to tap into the collective knowledgebase of the many bright White Nationalist thinkers that peruse this forum. Please help me try to determine the most likely scenario so that we may organize ourselves around it and plan for its contingencies. If we somehow get thoroughly blind-sided at this late stage it is possible that we may never recover.
At the heart of my question is this:

If 1 and 2 are accepted as accurate, what sense does it make for 2A to also be true?

In other words: Why, seeing as how the Jews seem to have the nation right where they want it, would they now turn around and destroy it?

Common perception seems to be that if there is an abrupt collapse of social order then racial awareness among the white population will rise dramatically. The Jewish media that dictates “pop culture” could no longer elevate the negro, and reality would reveal its nature. Race-mixing would come to a halt overnight. Consumerism and materialism would cease as the people scrounge for the necessities.

It would make much more sense to keep the population content and therefore apathetic and lethargic than to stir the pot that would at the very least: create a disruption in the agenda, and at the very most: drive the elite from their places of power, which have undoubtedly been sought out and schemed after for decades.

Fortunately, as of right now, the American populace has yet to be fully racially homogenized, has yet to become even close to disarmed, and still would stand a fighting chance to throw off their chains and ensure a worthwhile existence for their children. It would make more sense, from the perspective of the Zionists, to maintain status quo and continue the drumbeat of miscenegration, continue to sound the horn of liberalism, and continue the march toward a dystrophic society in which they could never be challenged.

... Don’t get me wrong. If a total collapse is what it takes to wake our brethren and guarantee future generations of white children walk this continent, if that is what it takes to restore our freedoms and recapture our land: let it begin this very second and not a moment later. Let comfort and convenience be damned, and I will welcome the hardship and embrace the pain secure in the knowledge that our people will rise above and overcome our darkest days.

I just am beginning to think that the elders of Zion are too smart to start the war. Why would they give us the push we need? Unless greed and audacity have clouded their minds in the final hour, I just cannot see an engineered abrupt collapse scenario. We, the people, are not ripe to be picked from the tree of liberty. Not just yet. If disturbed at this juncture, the seeds of racial purity will fall again on this land and take root. Our enemies know it. They’ve got to.

More as we learn it.

Well congratulations Poplowski, you neurotic fuck, now you can experience something else our forefathers supported.... due process, and imprisonment.

on the "Cops coming for the Dog" facts that do not fit with the theme of angry right wing Obama opponent?

http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/09095/960798-1...

where does it say, in the article you linked (and thanks), anything about "Cops coming for the Dog" ???

the mother wanted the cops to remove her son...

some sloppy writing maybe, but still...

"The suspect's mother, Margaret Poplawski, called 911 to say that she had argued with her son after she discovered that a dog had urinated on the floor of the house. She told police she wanted him removed."

It neither justifies his paranoia that they were coming for the dog, or him, but it seems he was not expecting Obama to show up looking for his guns.

They are coming out of the woodwork. Maybe it's best to get these nut balls out of our society. They are dangerous to everyone...including themselves. Such sponges for fear and paranoia.

This is the sort of loon the propaganda network encourages. Nice going fox.

Nation of morons.

More likely Eddie Perkovic will show up on Beck's program.

You beat me to it...Let's wonder if fox has contacted him yet for ANY slot/interview....Nut bags must unite....

Ed Perkovic will be on the Jim Quinn show tomorrow or someday in the near future. When I first heard the Perkovic interview live yesterday, I had an inkling he shared his "friend's" political views. This is just all too frightening and depressing.

Quinn is just the Pittsburgh variety of evil,hate-monger,right winger=yes very frightening and depressing.

sounds like the Eddie Haskel of this Tragi-com. Somebody needs to check out his personal weapons cache.

NRA

The untrue idea that Obama is "coming to take away your guns" has been promoted relentlessly by the NRA ever since the election, by way of a massive mailing and email campaign to their members. The paranoia they shamelessly promote is responsible for events like this.

I'd try to find a link between Poplawski, the NRA and the NRA's irresponsible rhetoric. Sue the fuck out of them and pry the last dollar from the national corporation's cold dead hand.

n/t.

Excellent idea!

And here I thought Rupert Murdoch was Scottish!

Asswipe!

Australian

Rush and the crew should be proud of their 'work'!
The 'Nazi-fication' of America.

I can just picture Hannity giggling with glee

and Limbaugh's tiny weenie struggling to attain the gallant reflex.

Orally will blame the Libbrills for this in 5..4..3..2.....

was more blood on GOP hands.

missionaries are working hard to fix the problem.

My own ignorance that is. What do the acronyms "SHTF/TEOTWAKI" mean?

I hate to give too much credence to the rationale this person used for going nuts. To just narrow it down to a paranoid rant that "Obama is going to take his guns" is probably not that accurate. The truth will come out soon, for all we know, he had a history with one of these cops, or some others on that force.

He had problems with authority. That seems to be the emerging pattern. He had a few prior arrests on his police record. One of the policemen killed did live in his neighborhood, but there does not seem to be a link between him and the specific policemen killed.

OK

I dont know his ratioinale but I'd bet that it had nothing to do with either the media or Obama. Dumbfucks like this racist moron first have a pattern that reveals their true motivations, and if he wanted to kill politicians or someone in the media he would have targeted them, not police officers. I'm surprised he is still alive and didnt kill himself, totally understand why the police didnt kill him, he has a nice long life in the penal system waiting. Maybe supermax.

Or a date with a needle. PA has the death penalty but really doesn't use it. He'll probably cop a plea and get three consecutive life terms plus a couple of hundred years. Let him rot.

In PA, "cop killers" always get the death penalty. The DA should call in the feds and charge him using the Patriot Act with terrorism.

The fact that he was wearing a bullet proof vest, and lying it wait, pretty much seals that deal for this asshole.

Those two things aggravate the situation about 20 fold.

He killed cops (not just one, either) in a death penalty state. He's done. In 15 years or so (after numerious appeals), he will meet his maker via the state. One needle coming this kid's way.

The procedure fits that of an execution.

Ambushing, cowardly cop killers are truly the lowest of the low...the prison guards will abuse this idiot mercilessly. Perkovic will literally run to the death chamber.

than the death chamber. His friend, not Perkovic, did the shooting after arguying with his momma over doggy pee, not gun policy. Perkovic injected the guns/jews stuff.

Not a Serb,,,croatian,,nazi sympathizers..get your facts straight pal.

While most of the Nazi sympathizers were Croats, not all Croats were sympathizers.

I'm surprised he is still alive and didnt kill himself

I'm not surprised. Every action he took yesterday was the textbook definition of a coward. Not being able to pull the trigger on himself as the final act was just the nail in the coffin to defining this pussy.

Shit Hit The Fan... can't figure out second one

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?ter...

The end of the world as we know it.

Shit hits The Fan
The End Of The World As We Know

Next time try google for things you don't know. THIDI (That's How I Do It)

How many more people like RP are among us? How many more of them have AK - 47s ready to be used? Why do we permit the sale and possession of assault weapons?

that's why.

But that doesn't make it right.

Of people on the left side of the spectrum with these very same weapons...

Plus the entire population of Switzerland...

It is not the weapons... Some of the most brutal and high scoring mass murders have been with much less of a weapon then what you are talking about.

It is the people...

I know this sounds obvious and perhaps due to that is not payed enough attention too.

But it is the people- IT does not matter if you outlaw the weapons, then come to seize them- Doing that would make the weak minded paranoids around us see their worst fears come to reality...

We do not want that to happen...

What we want is to calm the situation... We need to stand firm for Liberty, just as we would when our child is throwing a tantrum..

That is what these fits are... temper tantrums, most certainly those children should lose their toys, and their freedom.

However - Prohibition - of objects NEVER has, and NEVER will work.

Ever, Period.

You have to move with the force, you have to absorb the impact so you maintain your base..

The flexible reed survives the storm that rips up the mighty oak.

We have to disarm their minds...

We must stand through their fear...

We must let it pass over and through us...

Doing what you are saying would be akin to fighting a Tornado with a dust buster..

Open your eyes first... Then we can take the next step.

After all it is WE who must do it first.

because as long as THIS crazy has one I think I'd feel safer if I had one to defend me from him. Not pleasant, but there it is.

As long as the market is gonna be flooded, be it blackmarket or otherwise, if someone comes down the block shooting, its nice being able to shoot back. I will always keep both a rifle and handgun in my possession. Someday I may need them to defend my property from lunatics. It's that simple.

its nice being able to shoot back.

That's your idea of nice? Glad I don't live in your neighborhood.

But its not sport shooting on saturdays out the bedroom window I'm talking about. I'm talking about someone like the guy in Binghamton shooting up my block. If it happens, I may choose to return fire. Again, I don't find the following scenario at all complicated or difficult to comprehend. I'm totally in favor of restrictions on the availability of firearms as well. Assault rifles should be banned outright. This is what separates my viewpoints from those in militias and the NRA. Unless one can prove the necessity to own an assault rifle they should not be for sale to the public.

Otherwise, you may end up going to jail yourself.

This is exactly the logic that makes the whole thing snowball. He's got a gun! I want a gun! We should ALL have guns! How does that help?

The only way to remedy this situation is to take ALL the guns away. There'll be a lot fewer mass murders when the loonies have to use a knife or a baseball bat, you can be sure of that.

ever happened to fist fights? Too many people have too many guns.

Yep

Interesting point. Using a gun is cowardly, when you look at it that way. These gun nuts are wimps, too scared to face off an enemy using only what the gods gave them. That fits with the bully profile too.

I am a transgendered woman, with a severe back injury. I have twice been forced to flee (as best as I could) for my life from homophobic/transphobic thugs. My wife has been harassed by customers in the store where she works. Our family has been stalked.
I am not taking the chance that next time I can get away or protect my wife and son from people who think it's Biblically sound social policy to kill me or my loved ones.

I have an SKS assault rifle at home (Chinese PLA mod to take unaltered 30rd Kalashnikov mags) and I am getting a CCW for the state I live in.

Sorry, but I am not at all interested in a "fair" fight with these people using my fists( and they never come at you alone...).

I intend to survive, and I am not adverse to being lethally messy about it.

Where in the fuck do you live? I wouldn't mind coming down there and beating the living tar out of these assholes.

No one should have to live with that kind of fear in the US, and while it isn't much, please accept my sincere sympathy for your plight.

Oh, and for the record, I am a heterosexual white male with strong family, moral and Christian values who served his country proudly. Not exactly the typical liberal mold eh? Nevertheless, give me a holler, I will gladly stand beside you.

I live in Greensboro, NC, but two of the nastier incidents happened while I was working as an aircraft mechanic in Indianapolis in 2007.

I was badly frightened, and I'm fortunate that I wasn't actually pursued in either case, since I have no real hope of escaping.(I am now on Social Security Disability, since I have degenerative disc disease, with two surgeries to show for that)

I don't consider the "power to kill" even remotely seductive or appealing. I understand that it may be necessary to do so to preserve my own life, and that fully 60% of transgendered women report rape or some form of physical assault in their lifetime.

Like you, I am an ex service member. 67V in the Army(scout helicopter mechanic) where I was a crewchief and doorgunner. I always believed in watching my buddies' back in the Army, and your offer to watch mine is sincerely appreciated.

The only way to remedy this situation is to take ALL the guns away.

The "problem" is viewpoints that are on one end of the spectrum or the other. Responsible gun ownership is in the middle.

but I don't believe in "responsible gun ownership". It doesn't matter how responsible the owner is, the thing is still a source of death and destruction. That's what they're MEANT for - the taking of human life. There's no way that's ever okay.

Even the most "responsible" gun owners can have kids who are too curious or spouses who hold grudges, or can lose their jobs, lose their homes, lose their fucking marbles. Many of the loonies who shoot up innocent folks started out as "responsible" gun owners. But power corrupts, and there's no power so seductive as the power to kill.

Bottom line - I do not trust humans with the power to kill indiscriminately. History has shown we simply can't handle it. Sorry.

you are going to want to take away hunters guns and bows and arrows. Many people hunt to supplement their food supply. Sometimes you sound as extreme as the gun nuts.

Hunting is a hobby, not a necessity. It's a hobby that is only possible because of the laws that say you can have guns. The same laws that make these murders possible.

So weigh the alternatives. Which is more important - the ability of a few people to go kill for food when most of them don't need to, or the ability of the whole populace to live more securely, free from the fear of some nutbag next door suddenly letting loose? I know which one I'd pick.

People get used to their addictions, but that doesn't make those addictions okay. This country has a bad problem with looking reality in the eye on these issues. We want our toys no matter how much death they cause, because the only thing that matters is OUR fun. To hell with the murders and rampage - I WANT MY TOYS DAMMIT.

America needs to grow up already.

How is this going to work? You've taken the position that we should get rid of all weapons. So, does that mean nationwide, door to door searches? Will the people who conduct those searches have weapons?

If not, how are they going to avoid getting killed/injured? If so, how are we going to make them get rid of their weapons after it is all done and they are the only ones left with weapons?

going to determin which ones nedd to add to their food supply and which ones don't? During difficult times more are going to need other means to fill their freezers with a high protein food. Aside from that, if hunters weren't out there thinning the herds, many animals would starve during the winter months. Many others would be invafding your garden during the summer months.

So

You come up with ways to identify the ones that need the food. Look, claiming that we don't have the means to do that now is no excuse for saying we can't EVER do it, so there's no point in trying. We have to start somewhere, and this dilemma will never be solved until we resolve to START. If nobody ever tried to change anything because there didn't seem to be a way to do it, most of the problems in history would never have been solved. Inertia is no excuse.

Because if you think you are going to remove the rights to own firearms and "get rid of guns", I can be pretty sure that civil unrest will result and we will be living in a totalitarian society, where the state is armed to the teeth, and civilians have nothing.

Hello Civil War. Goodbye 2nd Amendment. Is that what you want? It's what you are going to get if we adopt your approach, whether its intended or not. Extremism comes in many varieties. Remember, gun owners are familiar with why Hitler reminded them they would be "safe" without firearms, and thats why he was making the ownership of them a serious crime. In America, you dont "get rid of guns", that approach is foolish and will drive the wedge into the issue much deeper.

Did you know that fertilizer was used to blow up the Omaha Federal Building?

Did you know that jet fuel brought down the twin towers?

Did you know that hunger kills something close to three million people a year (mostly children)?

While I can not justify in my own mind the reason for owning an automatic weapon, the logic that guns are just one of many tools of cruelty that men use seems sound. Take away a gun, he will use a knife. Take away his knife, and he will use his car. And so on and so forth.....

I support a ban on assault rifles, but the tradition of guns (and gun violence) is too strong at this time to overcome. Hell, we couldnt get the violent idiots to believe that our previous President was falsifying evidence to justify a war to make friends rich despite overwhelming proof. What chance in hell do you think we have of convincing these clowns to stand down?

Do you mean... The Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma?

Maybe you could volunteer to be the bodyguard for my family and drive off the fag bashing drunk frat boys and sundry others who seem to think that a transgendered person is an affront to their personal dignity.

I haven't noticed that the police are really interested in making sure that the "tranny pervert/whore/Satanist/fill in the blank" and her family can get around safely in most jurisdictions.

No doubt, you can help me out there.

If not, I intend to go on being watchful and keep a firearm if I can't escape.

"The only way to remedy this situation is to take ALL the guns away."

Want to try that for the next time the radical Goopers take over?

FUCK NO!

Responsible gun owners... like the ones on this forum going on about defending themselves against "methed up creeps" or taking a shot at Richard Poplawski types (as if the cops or general public would be okay with that scenario, some guy with a gun and a hero complex)? Preparedness is one thing but these lurid violent fantasies are part and parcel with the whole problem with guns and the gun culture in America.

would only be able to build IEDs or gar filled bottles tolight and throw. You can't regulate fucked up behaviour that easily.

But you CAN regulate the weapons they can use. Please don't pretend that complex, professionally built weapons of mass murder are somehow equivalent to a rag in a bottle of gasoline. If this country didn't have the mentality of "guns for everyone!" we wouldn't have a populace that thinks there's something okay about OWNING the goddamn things. Or convinced that they've got some reason to own them, when it's the widespread ownership of guns that makes life in America so fucking dangerous to begin with!

It's a vicious circle, and the only way to end it is to END IT. COMPLETELY. Only then will this insanity stop. It's easy to come up with reasons not to act - the brave thing is to act anyway. I hope we get to that level of courage someday, because this shit will never stop, otherwise.

In a low caliber, would be plenty to accurately take down some nut storming down your street with any weapon..

I would hate to have to, but I certainly would take out some freak if it came down to one of those "off-the wall" scenario's that is taking place at an odd pace lately..

Wouldn't you?

Sadly, it seems like you have a better chance of running into a situation like this then you would at winning the lottery, or getting bit by a shark....

Not for nothing, but you know how to use a hammer to drive in nails?... or a screwdriver to take out screws?

Those are tools..

Now, I am not saying that WE ALL SHOULD have guns,.. everyone is entitled to having the tools they want to have...

Let me say..

That if this bastard had lived across the street from me, he would certainly know where my politics stand, and he would also know where my "tool" position stands...

That might of just made him a little less paranoid, then when people like YOU start talking about making their worst fears - REALITY -

The problem you have is you are trying to use magic, that you really do not fully understand.

I said it above.. but I will say it again.

We have to disarm their minds... Forget about the tools...

Going after the tools, is like trying to take out a spark plug while the motor is running... In a sealed room full of atomized gasoline...

Bad bad Idea...

that is four hours old. Troll school kind of hard, eh?

...

You wanna address something?

...Seriously, calling me a Troll!!??!!... err Project much??

Lets see... I have been here since long before there was even an icon for the site...

Now shush.. unless you have something to say pertaining to this issue.

The idea of grabbing guns is several orders of magnitude below stupid...

And they didn't do them much good, did they?

In my catalog of insensitive internet remarks I'm going to have to include "The cops the guy shot and killed had guns, too. And they didn't do them much good, did they?" Would you say that to the families of the deceased? Because you just did.

Why haven't any of these gun owners shot the perps? I was wondering how all these mass killings are happening and none of the hand gun owners have stepped forward to save lives.

burglers end up getting taken out by the self-defense gun owners, shot in the back in Texas, or family members mistaken as intruders. All other cases involve self-defense types going off the deep end and killing innocents and being taken out either by the police or by suicide.

Are these qualifications common for those applying to a Pennsylvania militia... or to the Pittsburgh Police Department?

If we're going to "get rid" of "assault weapons" (whatever those are) to protect ourselves from these kind of people, is law enforcement exempted? Why?

Also, what about non-assault weapons? Are those ok?

Because this country is addicted to weapons and the thrill of violence. Our whole national identity has gotten tangled up with the ability to kill as many people as possible as quickly as possible. For some bizarre reason, people (especially men) seem to think this makes us stronger in some way, instead of more paranoid, violent and unhappy.

But trying to take the guns away is like trying to take a very deadly toy away from a mean little bully - he'll cling onto it for all he's worth, and when that fails, he'll bite you. Except these toys can kill you, and many of the brats are batshit insane.

Good luck solving THIS problem, Mr. Prez. Something tells me it'll be harder than the whole money disaster.

The police are the only people with the power to strongly oppose these semi-automatic weapons. They are now officially "cop killer" guns.

"For some bizarre reason, people (especially men) seem to think this makes us stronger in some way, instead of more paranoid, violent and unhappy."

Great point!

Perkovic and Poplawski are lower life forms. I want to know more about this fuck-up's upbringing. And I want to hear from that idiot mother of his. ...and learn what kind of lunatic his missing fahter was.

I'm more interested in who he hung out with and who he listened to. In this climate, you can't blame everything on Mom and Dad. There are PLENTY of other things that could have shoved him into being a paranoid loon.

turn on his radio, his TV, check out the video/game collection...
not just the computer...

lots of clues right there, at the touch of a button...

Good thing is any person entering this country shoeless through airport homeland security, holding up their pants because they don't let old men wear suspenders through security, knows they are safe in the land of the free.

CMD

"Conservative Mental Disorder" gets a new poster-child.

Sorry, Beck.

And I thought "cmd" was a computer command.

I will remember CMD. It is a very good description of a very real problem.

Beck Syndrome would be a better description.

(Sob, sob)
I love my country.
I'll go on a shooting spree to prove it.

Can't call it goin' postal anymore, that's soo 80's anyway.
It's also contingent on having a job too.

That's why I always value David Neiwert's posts and don't get it when people say he focuses on Beck, et al, too much.

THIS is the result of Beck, et al.

I look forward to your book, David. No one brings it like you do.

and his dog more than Obama and guns.

http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/09095/960798-1...

the right of dogs to soil carpets?

...he whapped his dog on the nose wit a newspaper?

when they came for Toto!

she wouldn'tve needed that bucket of water...

poppies.

if you'll recall, she did pass out her first trip through the field...
:D

she could have gotten in a little more rack time and then not hurried up on down the road if she had the warmth and comfort of an automatic weapon instead of a scarecrow.

.

or what her aunt and uncle SHOULD have done.

The right wing talking heads such as Insannity like to talk about Bush Derangement Syndrome. These guys like Insannity and Beck have ODS....Obama Derangement Syndrome.

BillO the Clown often defends the insane Beck, and in fact, every Friday night, the insane one is a regular on BillO's show.

Last week, I sent BillO another email, one of many in the past few weeks, telling him how insane and dangerous Beck is. First, he started calling Obama a socialist, then a communist, and now, he's been saying that Obama is leading us to fascism. In fact, Beck says that we've been moving towards fascism since Teddy Roosevelt.

Beck has said that the people who take his word as gospel are "idiots." As I told BillO, unfortunately, there were 900 idiots who listened to Jim Jones, but even more unfortunately, there are a couple of million or more idiots who drink Beck's kool aid. Even more unfortunately, as I told BillO, some of those idiots who drink Beck's kool aid have guns and support militias.

These nuts likely will be coming more and more out of the woodwork because of insane people like Beck and BillO the Clown.

and police deal with these guys. You start treading in on their territory and you may end up like Allen Berg.

I blame rap's gangsta culture.

POP POP inna' gun fight

are obviously contributing factors. As is Catholic secondary education.

All that caffeine is driving people insane.

had anything to do with Starbucks...wait he beat his girlfriend four years ago and still loved her. That fits the Starbucks profile. Sorry.

It's only BMW drivin', librul, elitists who go to Starbucks. We don't have guns...we just talk really, really fast. :-)

I know you Jewish!

Poplawksi just brought America one giant step closer towards increased gun control.

.

And thank the gods for THAT.

Three in one day, for gods' sakes. How many will it take?

as someone mentioned, SWAT team to future domestic disturbances. Cops kill everyone when they are scared and they use fear as an excuse. This won't go well in urban areas, where the manifestations of police fear generally first appear.

I didn't know the Chinese and Saudis were Zionists.

Everyone's a Zionist, except the whackos with the guns.

You've got to learn this stuff. I'm not kidding; it's important. - John Connor

ideology, I have seen little about what precipitated the police visit.
I read his mom initiated the 911 call, but that is it.

about this as of yet. I, too, am curious.

If we can go after Hitler for inciting and leading the Nazi's to violence and murder, then by that logic, we should be able to go after the right wing pundits.

Hell, Hannity openly supports white supremacists.

Some pundits have even stated that people should kill presidential candidates (last time I checked, that was very much illegal).

Why are we letting people engage in such blatantly illegal, and immoral behavior?

They should be rotting in prison, paying for their crimes.

First Amendment gives those assholes the right to spout their garbage, unfortunately. That's the problem with deifying the Constitution. The Founding Fathers never envisioned the insane weaponry we have today, or they would have written those amendments very differently.

But the gun nuts make about as much sense on this issue as the fundies do when they insist you have to take all those arcane biblical rules seriously in the 21st century. Absolutely no understanding of the influence of context on a discussion.

Does not protect someone from making terroristic threats or threatening to kill the President. People that make these kinds of threats can be investigated and jailed. Don't forget that Patriot Act.

But the people saying that shit are Republicans. Didn't you know the rules don't apply to them? (Except the ones that agree with their position. Those rules are okay.)

These pundits will easily say, "Yeah I said it, but he/she/they didn't have to go out and do it. Now if you excuse me, I'll be going back into my mansion now."

These SHOULD be held responsible. Be it a criminal or civil case.

The right wing pundits are telling people to go out and kill.

That's no different than any dictator sending out people to murder.

It's no different than sending an assassin out to end someone's life.

In fact, it's exactly like sending out an assassin to end someone's life.

That's what they're doing.

They should be in prison.

If you, or ANYONE you know, had someone go out an kill on your behalf, guess what?

You're an accessory to murder.

That's what the law says.

There's also that 'Patriot Act'. Time we used it against the bastards.

)O(

I know, they're the exception to the conservaturd mantra of taking responsiblity for their actions.

Hannity is buds with Hal Turner, white supremacist extraordinaire....

I dunno, but maybe we should do exactly what these nuts fear. We don't need to outlaw all guns, because that's unconstitutional. But how about banning all automatic weapons, assault rifles, etc., unless you are in law enforcement or the military?

When the NRA and their buffoons start raising hell, we can just say, "Hey, we had no intention of doing this, but you guys keep shooting everybody. We have to look out for the public safety. YOU CRAZY people made this necessary."

And if they keep complaining, we'll play back all of their comments about how we should give up other freedoms because of 9-11 - for the safety of Americans.

Well said!

dishonorably discharged from military service?

If you're too effed up for the marines, you're too effed up to own a gun.

discharge could be mitigating circumstances.

gun ownership should be tied to psychological testing. PROVE you're not a batshit loon before we give you something you can slaughter people with.

Also, rigorous rules for the number of guns anyone can own. Why should anyone need more than one, unless you're a professional that uses them for work? Guns are not Pez containers; there's no earthly reason to collect the fucking things.

Barbie dolls. Its spiritual.

That kind of spirituality I think we can do without, thanks. Just ask the people in that immigration center.

Besides, you can't KILL people with Barbie dolls. People have to stop thinking of guns as just another item you can purchase. They're fucking MURDER WEAPONS. Kinda puts 'em in a different class.

Barbie collecting, not guns. However,

Is there a test to prove one is not a batshit loon? I'd like a link so I can take it online and compare it to my Scientology profile.

.

Yeah well, you're right about the Barbies. All hail the Goddess of Kitsch!

I'm sure we could cook up a test for violent impulses, paranoia, and right-wing tendencies. It can't be that hard.

Bush White House HR office.

Everyone's birthright is to have all the guns they want.
And a case has to be made for denial of their right.

Why didn't your Founding Fathers do the same for drivers licenses?
I mean you have to take a test for that.

because as ministers they were still riding dinosaurs you dumbie.

So the point actually holds very well.

You're a genius!

to me that the racist rant posted under the sobriquet "Braced for Fate" could have been written by a twenty-three year old white supremacist of limited education. He may have copy and pasted the thing from some other place but it is grammatically correct and uses a vocabulary that is inconsistent with the sort of thing one would expect from such a person.

.

You know, people can read on their own. They really don't need diplomas to do it. Plenty of these white supremacist douchebags can write with seeming intelligence - it doesn't prove anything.

it proved anything. That's why I said unlikely.

using the "seems" modifier so in vogue with "seeming" lefty limp wristed academic types of an age that thinks all young people know no grammar.

The guy was clearly an intellectual giant. His actions prove him to be so. Too bad you don't like my opinion. You prefer categorical statements and see things only in black and white. Good for you. Nuance actually calls for the occasional use of a modifier. You'll understand that when you grow up.

You seem to be prejudiced against young people. Pehaps I mistake you, but your post references both "disagree" and "when you grow up," which suggests a tendency to associate any opinion different from yours as being caused by your fear of dying soon.

that I suffer from any particular prejudice against youth. I will confess to a low tolerance for stupidity.

stupidity with ignorance. They're not the same thing. Ignorance can be cured; stupidity is in the bone.

To this Pop guy - ignorance or stupidity?

I think he went far beyond simple ignorance and well into the realm of stupidity.

See this reply (below). I don't think what set him off matters. Something ALWAYS sets them off.

.

I meant it doesn't prove that he didn't write it. He could easily have written that rant. Have you ever talked to one of these people? It's not until you actually see them rattle off one of these seemingly intelligent rants, all with a glazed look in their eyes and lips growing wetter as they go along, that you realize words strung together in the right sequence can easily coincide with batshit paranoia.

The syntax was awkward and the sentences were stilted. It read as though it were written by someone trying too hard.

A writer has to be exceptionally gifted when penning a screed so blatantly racist.

There are some sites I visit that are full of wingnuts who are painfully correct in their grammar and vocabulary, to the point where I've started to think that on-line thesauruses get the vast majority of their hits from the far right. Take a peek at a few of the smaller military history pages and you'll know what I'm talking about.

Conversely, the worst grammar and vocabulary can be found at popular, populist liberal/lefty sites. ;D

Maybe I'm over-generalizing. There are liberal/lefty sites I visit where it seems as if every commenter has a PhD, and there are righty-dominated sites where the comments resemble the scribblings in a middle school yearbook.
