People are acting stupidly, good thing guns play no part at all in any of these.

"What were his intentions?" Get a clue.

This was at 3am, so it doesn't sound as if his intention was to find lots of people to kill out in the streets. The body armour indicates this wasn't suicide by cop. Yes, one of the possibilities is that his aim was to kill lots of people somewhere just for the sake of violence, but there are plenty of others.

of my doctor's office when a man who was looking at his phone said "there is going to be blood in the streets." The doctor literally leaned back and said - about what? All the man said was - just wait you will see.

There are many people who think like this man. They may be armed to the teeth and feed themselves a constant diet of RW hate and fake news. One I know just shot himself in the head. Some of them could not wait for their big war and have already created their blood in the streets and more will follow suit. My guess is this man also drove himself mad with messages from the hate machine. Somewhere in those messages is the suggestion that those who take action are heroes.

People trying to kill government employees, police, etc, because they think they are liberating people or some shit.

Conservative militia requests/encourages killing of police.

One of our Christian, patriot, conservative militia heroes encouraging supporters to come shoot the police when they conquered and captured an unmanned Federal nature preserve in Oregon.

Where were our conservatives to call this out as wrong?

I don't ever want to look but can you imagine what is being said on their internet sites. They are delusional and armed.

arrest and give heat stroke to an 85 year old woman taking a cell phone video of the same BLM Feds abusing a burro at their government round-up

But somehow they always think they're the ones who are going to come out on top.

from a fiction book about Job:::

The author speaking as the main character made the observation that when reading a story, the reader usually places himself in the position of the 'hero/good guy/leader'.

Same with our theocrats who want to make America a 'Christian' country.

What if it is not their version of Christianity in charge?

It apparently sucked

ism't overly effective against multiple handgun hits and, unless ceramic ballistic panels are part of the mix,
is completely ineffective against center-fire rifle rounds.

The survivalist industry feeds these idiots' fantasies that they can be The Punisher or Duke Nukem, while they suck billions of dollars out of them.
