Taliesin Myrddin Namkai-Meche, 23, and Rick Best, 53, were stabbed to death and 21-year-old student Micah David-Cole Fletcher was injured when they came to the aid of two women being subjected to hate speech on public transport. The suspect, Jeremy Christian, 35, was found to hold white supremacist views and to have attended an “alt-right” rally in the city.

This is very serious stuff. This is essentially what happened in the Weimar Republic, when the legitimate government could no longer control legal discussion or dissent. It then becomes might makes right.

I agree it is serious. Only a matter of time before the shooting starts.

where is the light rail train surveillance video? there should be audio & video. also....I hope the police isolated each witness & interviewed them individually to get their story before we got Zimmerman-Martin level media noise pollution. I notice how the 3 men who confronted Christian are not being called “vigilantes” in the press. Why not? One article claimed he was making a racist rant, but the 3 men “intervened in his behavior”......which is meaningless reporting by a reporter who doesn’t know what happened or is covering up what happened. What DID happen? Did these “vigilantes” bully Christian or threaten him? Were they trying to make him feel “feel like a minority”....or feel threatened?
I have no idea what happened....but what if these crusaders, these vigilantes were like one of these lynch mobs keeping Charles Murrays or Ann Coulters from speaking? One person’s “right wing rant” is not another person’s. Did the man actually address or threaten the Muslim women or did he just use the occasion to express his concerns about Muslim immigration & Sharia law.
I can see a whole bunch of possible stories, here.....and in one of the possible scenarios......the anti-Trump vigilantes threaten Christian, put him in fear...then attack HIM when he brandishes a knife to protect himself & keep them from getting closer. Not everybody who pulls a weapon intends to use the weapon....sometimes a person just wants to show it if he’s in fear & wants to AVOID a fight. Suppose the anti-Trump/anti Right vigilantes had hatred in their heart & jumped to conclusions when they saw a knife, just like Trayvon Martin jumped to the wrong conclusion when Zimmerman grabbed for his cell phone after Martin confronted him, ready to fight...........
......(just saying.)

Some reports are saying that he attended a Trump rally. He was kicked out of the rally for being a nut. I think he may of been a plant. There is a video of him being kicked out floating around.

Two snowflakes died defending a muzzy’s right to not be “offended.” I’m not not saying they deserved to die. But they would be alive now if they minded their own business and let the guy rant, which he had every right to do.

Man, this crap is escalating fast.

Texas Rep Matt Rinaldi (R-Irving} was assaulted by a Democrat on the floor of the Texas House tonight. The Dem threatened to follow him outside and “get” him. Matt was forced to warn the thug that he’d use deadly force to defend himself, if the Dem tried anything.

I swear, these liberals are gonna write a check that their ass can’t cash.

But the guys who post and run..

Like Sean_Anthony? That guy is the biggest clickbot on Free Republic. Posts a dozen articles a day, ALL from the same source, and never replies or comments.

I scanned his posting history going back two years, and only found five comments - three of which were to correct bad links. The other two were inconsequential, and were posted on the same thread within minutes of each other.

Dude is making money off this community, guaranteed.

So, you see the Weimar similarities as well? Let us hope there is an alternative plan. WHen I said last year that Trump would have no choice but to “become a tyrant” this is kind of what I was talking about. It seems to me these leftist creeps are following the usual commie playbook and anyone who wants to just live a normal life in a healthy productive community is going to have to finally coordinate to fight back. Sound familiar?

That could have happened, yep very possible. I mentioned a few days ago in places like LA, there are people ranting all over the place, on the streets, buses you name it. A person could spend all their life there simply confronting people who were ranting about things they didn't want to hear about.

It's my experience that when this happened in public with people who seem to be "off" or unstable, unless the individual has become physically violent, you best stay out of their world and ignore their rants. Otherwise you could very well end up like these people did.
