At least 13 people were injured, five critically in two separate mass shootings at homeless encampments in Minneapolis, Minnesota on Monday. The first shooting took place at East Lake Street and Interstate 35W around 11am local time.

      No.

      It’s the gun analogy. Guns don’t kill people. People with guns kill people. People with guns kill people over disagreements they can’t properly resolve, or lunacy. Guns are a tool for hunting for food, but caveman brain leads to them being used as both deterrents, and as misused weapons.

      If Fox News promotes lunacy and caters to lunacy, then they should probably be dealt with and taken off the air. My biggest problem with Fox is just how awful their opinion segments (most of their runtime) are and sound. My goodness, I lose IQ just listening to it for more than two seconds. When Fox News reports on news, and only news, without an opinion, they are fine.

    Not saying Fox studios should be burned to the ground, but It would be a shame if it didn’t happen.

    Y’know. That’s one way to end homelessness. Just kill everyone who is homeless. Voila, no homelessness.

    You become homeless? Straight to the firing line for you.

    I mean, other countries did it by lifting up their citizens with social programs and housing projects and whatnot. Admittedly, I would prefer this much more than America’s method.

    But this does seem quite America of a solution to the homeless “problem”…

    Can we go ahead and label fox news as a terrorist organization? They are inciting violence against americans and their viewers are acting on it.

    Clearly the administration will do something about these right wing lunatics…

        Oh i dunno, maybe the definition of Terrorist.

        “unlawfully using violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims.”

        The unlawfully part is to be questioned since they are using hate speech and hate speech was deemed protected by the supreme court in the past. But apparently the administration doesn’t like that, so the supreme court will probably deem hate speech is not protected anymore since they are bought and paid for by the GOP.

          “unlawfully using violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims.”

          The key part you are missing here is the “unlawfully” part. As the mouthpiece of the current regime they are clearly not beholden to the law (whats left of it) in the us.

    That Fox host might lose their job, like Kimmel, because the law is equally applied. /s

      What law? ABC is a garbage company for doing what they did and we should all boycott them but they didn’t break the law.

        I already wrote to them, and told them that after decades of being my first choice for news, I would be shifting my news viewing to NBC.

        I further told them that I would be cancelling Hulu/ Disney+, and would pirate their content from now on, without commercials.

        And I will.

        Trump’s FCC said they were looking into punishments for ABC because of Jimmy Kimmel, and many ABC associates are currently waiting for FCC approval for their mergers. That is clear regulatory pressure/corruption.
