    Maybe he's new to the gang. But it was definitely a scary scene downtown last night.

    The left posters never stop with the name calling.

    As a mater of fact mods isn't Meatball considered a derogatory term for Italian? Question would I be allowed to use the N word...How about referring to an Arab as a towel head a Mexican as a Beaner is the term Pollock ok here in too hot?

    It doesn’t fit the profile of “mass shootings” that get much reporting (at least once the details are known) from anyone other than the very local media. For a shooting story to get much widespread media coverage it seemingly needs to have one or both of “young depressed white male that everyone thought was crazy” or “scary looking black rifle,” and this story had neither.

    Never mind that his "boy" is the one who coined the term.

    Honestly, is there anything more MAGA than this?

    First, with all the names being thrown at Biden and Harris here, you’re upset by Meatball Ron?
    Second, do you know who they’re quoting?
    Third, it’s hardly used as an ethnic slur.

    It was the only Trump nickname that actually I thought was fun.

    First, with all the names being thrown at Biden and Harris here, you’re upset by Meatball Ron? Yes. MAGA is VERY sensitive.
    Second, do you know who they’re quoting? Dumb question. He's MAGA. Do the math.
    Third, it’s hardly used as an ethnic slur. Yeah, but reaching. . .

    You and John Oliver. . . . and everyone else not named Ron DeSantis. I mean, it was damn good. Trump truly is the consummate playground bully.

    Is the tough guy who wants to punch Nancy Pelosi and Kamala in the face upset by me calling a meatball-shaped man a meatball?

    I'm certain it was terrifying. Genuinely glad your daughter is OK. My guess is she's pretty shaken up from learning what happened.

    Ybor City in Tampa had it's own Halloween shooting last year. 2 dead, 16 injured.

    MAGA posters who were just defending the racist comedian a few days ago are suddenly clutching their pearls at nicknames. Fake outrage like this is why no one takes them seriously.

    It’s so sad this violence culture that we have somehow created, that some people think it’s OK to go out and do this kind of thing.

    Another example, the LA Dodgers win the World Series and their fans go on a rioting spree, looting stores and setting vehicles on fire.

    Sadly, These types of shootings have become so commonplace they barely make waves in the news.
