    CNN is reporting that their sources are saying that the 4 initially suspected are now not thought to be involved in planting IEDs after reviewing tape.

    Not that any of the victims were anymore or less deserving of being appreciated than him. But when you see someone who has probably done everything right in his life to get a football scholly to an Ivy and then a good job after graduation lose his life senselessly at such a young age, it’s just heartbreaking and infuriating.

    For me
    It’s just knowing his name and that he was a kid. Brings it home.
    This turd didn’t care who he hurt, who he killed. The fact that he seemingly had help and that far more damage may have been planned.. sick, mean, evil.

    Seems Biden has made a few stupid statements during his presidency also.
    Joe Biden "The most dangerous terrorist threat to our homeland is white supremacy"

    Which is factually accurate. In every year, the highest percentage of terrorist activities were done by white supremacists.

    This is opinion.....2021 the argument could be made that the George Floyd protests were as much terrorism as all those white supremist murders compiled by the left leaning ADL.

    No, there is a definition of terrorism. Protesting is not murder nor is it terrorism.

    “Facts I don’t like are opinions.”

    Also: the fact that you feel that protests about police brutality are “terrorism” is a bit of a dog whistle, my man.

    The vast bulk of protests were peaceful. Hell, they were more peaceful than civil rights protests in the 60’s, but y'all have rose-colored glasses in how horrifying those got. In both cases, riots were the language of the unheard. I even recall how cops in NOLA kept trying to goad protesters into even the appearance of resistance to engage in tossing tear gas and other reasonable things.

    Biden is correct, re: white supremacist groups, and the sooner we recognize domestic dangers, the better.

    The ADL is a very suspect source. Unfortunately the links in this tweet can't be read because vdare.com was shut down by Letecia James' lawfare

    Well, linking white supremacists is a choice I guess...

    You linked to Jonathan Greenblatt's anti-white diversity grifter site that is about as credible as the SPLC

    Yes, we know that Russian troll farms often seek to amplify white supremacists. We are aware. Can we just skip the motions on that one?

    Judging by your responses I can guess you’re responding to vegasfox, the pro-Russian and white supremecist-loving poster who only holds in higher esteem his supposed intellect.

    Vdare.com had several people of color writing for them. Hardly a white supremacist site. The site you linked to stokes anti-white hatred. Keep digging

    Read tonight he was divorced in 2022 and late on at least some of his child support payments.
    It’s like clockwork with these guys, women and money problems always seem to be part of the deal.

    It's official. New Orleans and Las Vegas are tight-knit communities.
