    I thought I had seen ignorance on FB. Then I saw Twitter.

      It takes a lot of effort to distill your stupidity down to 280 characters. Much easier to drool on FB.

                                Police say there's no evidence that he was fleeing anything, and that his intention was to cause mayhem and death.

                                So the questions naturally arise:

                                1. Is this a case of domestic terrorism?
                                2. Since the alleged perp had posted about hating white people is this a racist attack?
                                3. If #2 is right, then is it a hate crime?
                                4. When will Lyin' Joe condemn it as he did Rittenhouse, rather than "waiting for all information to come in"?

                                      Saw an interview this morning with an off-duty EMT that was attending the parade. She was pretty pumped about getting to go, because for all previous parades, she was either driving an ambulance or riding a fire truck in the parade.

                                      She was closer to the start line, so when she saw the red suv drive by, she thought it was an undercover or unmarked police vehicle responding to something, since it was driving with purpose. It was when she heard the screams that she knew something bad had happened. She was one of the first responders on the scene and said it was surreal, like something out of a movie...In her career, she had never seen anything like this level of traumatic injury and death.

                                        There was an air of hope and desperation to the original corporate media reports that he was fleeing from some other incident. Now their only choice is to memory hole this. It won’t be hard.

                                        In the discussion I listened to recently between the two progressive white women on the NYT podcast, where the thesis was about the existential threat of white supremacy, one piece of data the two ladies were proud of was the tally of bodies attributable to either side. Antifa/BLM or white supremacists. Their tally for BLM was 2. For white supremacists, they were counting Oklahoma City among other incidents and the death count was much higher. I am sure they will manage to not count this incident as leftist terrorism.

                                        Education is extremely important.
