Wait, I think I've figured it out! All minorities need to get jobs at health insurance companies ASAP! That way any magats who threaten or attack you will be prosecuted as terrorists going after the health insurance companies.
No no no, you're confused. The field the company is in doesn't matter. What matters is if that you get to a C-level position.
didn't realize we called racism "bias-motivation" now
Exactly! I kept wondering why they're not calling it a hate crime.
We hide behind obfuscated language when we dont want to say things.
But a woman who got mad for having a claim for health care coverage THAT SHE PAYS FOR and saying something in anger, well that's a big problem, but stalking someone for 40 miles and strangling them is cool, right conservatives?
40 miles... today's crazy to follow someone that distance.

Well at least the Gaza bombings will stop!
This shit is only going to get more frequent, and a lot worse very soon.
He'll be charged with terrorism...right?
If he attacked a CEO yes, otherwise no.
Come Jan 20, he'll be pardoned.
It happened in CO, and is a state crime. Trump can't pardon state convictions.

Hang him
They used to be called “hate crimes”. Why are we soft peddling violent racism like this
It's terrorism, actually, since it is politically motivated.
Terrorism and hate crimes are nowhere near mutually exclusive, though. This is a case of both.
Because this is Trump’s America now :(
But I thought we told things like they are now, and euphemisms were woke?
~/s~
I think that's a bit like thinking Ronald McDonald owns McDonald's.
Like nah, man, that's just the clown they put on the adverts.

The attack is being investigated as a possible bias-motivated crime.
The levels of avoiding saying "hate-crime"
It’s only terrorism if you threaten wealthy/powerful people.
Well in the USA white supremacists can't commit hate crimes since hate is their religion and their church is the state

You have to do some tap dancing these days to avoid saying Trump = hate.
After ABC News just ponied up $15M to settle that Trump lawsuit, it's no surprise.
Sure, but it's fucking pathetic
He followed him for 40 miles
40
That’s insane.
He tackled a man.
Because of his purported ethnicity.
That's insane.
These are the people that vote for Trump.
That's as many as four tens.
And that's terrible.
Alex, who had been out reporting, then drove back to his news station in the city. After he got out of his vehicle, Egan chased Alex as he ran toward the station's door and demanded to see his identification, according to the document laying out police’s evidence in the case. Egan then tackled Alex, put him in a headlock and “began to strangle him,” the affidavit said.
He followed him, chased him down and proceeded to strangle him, and they still needed to determine if this was a "bias-motivated crime".
Egan, who was driving a taxi, pulled up next to Alex at a stoplight and, according to an arrest affidavit, said something to the effect of: “Are you even a U.S. citizen? This is Trump's America now! I'm a Marine and I took an oath to protect this country from people like you!”
Yeah still too early to tell isn't it

He said it - "it’s Trumps USA now". Get ready for a whole lot of fecal matter hitting the air circulation device…

"Trump voters are terrorists" doesn't have to be true. It would be great for it not to make sense to say, but that's not up to me.
Buy (or 3d print) a gun for your own safety if you are a minority.
I honestly would not trust a 3D printed gun. Even after some successful uses, there have still been plenty of fuckups.
I think guns are a case where precision machine tooling is a good idea.
Edit: Am I really getting downvoted for suggesting if people get a gun, they get one that was made with precision milling? Would you downvote me for saying people probably shouldn't assemble their own cars out of 3D printed parts either?
Yeah, you dont wanna have to rack the slide after every shot, like some goddam noob.
I mean I'm thinking of stuff I've read like this:
https://3dprint.com/285741/teen-shoots-self-accidentally-with-gun-made-with-3d-printed-parts/
It's a tool. You don't make your own screwdriver or drill.
This article explains it better than I can:
Even if you're not a minority, if you're not a redhat, you're a target.
I wish the man wasn't right. But he is. This is Trump's America now and this is the new normal and the lügenpresse will be amongst the first victims.
This should be a thing. Every time something horrific happens it needs to be labeled as "Trump's America."
And I don't mean things like natural disasters. Increases in hate, poverty, brutality. Things that Trump stands for and causes.
I'd argue natural disasters related to climate change could also fall under "Trump's America"
Good point. Guess that's going on the list too.
What a racist asshole.
What a ~~racist~~ BIASED asshole!

"This is Trump's America now"
Last I checked, Biden is still the acting president for another week and a half. Egan is both a bigot and a fucking dumbass.
