Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content.

Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.

Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description.

“Activist”. What idiot wrote this? If they were brown it would say terrorist.
This redneck fuck was a terrorist. Good riddance.
Because everyone is afraid of what the lunatic fringe ~~will do~~ is already doing. Nobody wants to appear responsible for escalating the violence.
This demands repeating:
Politicians, media, prosecutors, judges -- There is already violence. There will be more violence. Not if, when. The sooner you stop thinking we can go back the way we came, the quicker we'll be done with all this. The only way out is through.
He also would have been described as a "responsible gun owner" 24 hours ago since the gun was likely legally purchased and he hadn't lost control of his emotions and killed anyone with it yet.
It's rare to see someone rightfully point out the fact that all bad guys with a gun were once good guys until they suddenly... You know.. Weren't.
And then magically, they don't count, despite buying the same guns, from the same stores, with the same checks then carrying it around under the same laws and storing it with the same optional safety.
It's a perfect setup. Responsible gun owners can never commit crimes. Maybe it's time we all started calling the murderers committing crimes with legal guns "former responsible gun owner so and so".
It's like a mixture of survivor bias and a no true scot fallacy.
Surprised they didn't call him a "protestor". Shit journalism.
For fucking real. Dude's a domestic terrorist.
Now he's the best kind of domestic terrorist.
🙌
We need more investigations into these kinds of domestic terror networks.
Technically he is brown, I really don't know where the line is anymore for who's a terrorist and who's not according to the Peter Griffin skin shade scale, but it's seemed to devolve into "if he's a far right person then he must not be a terrorist" because you can't say it's conservatives because Jihadists are conservatives, then you have Hindu nationalists, the line really only seems to be "Donald Trump fan" not a terrorist, all others, terrorist.
According to this site:
https://forebears.io/surnames/alembik
The biggest concentration of folks with the surname Alembik are in Israel, where the brown people aren't just Muslim but also Jewish, Jews are already usually not treated as white in general, although there are those of us like myself who are pale, blond, and blue eyed, but my Jewish ancestry is Russian in origin, really makes it easier to not be hassled for my mother and grandmother's religion, although it would be much nicer if Nazis and others didn't just blindly hate an ethnic/religious group.
Anyways, I've seen pics of this guy looking on the brown side and pics of this guy where he looks white, either way, doesn't matter because he's all dickhead and the world is a better place without him.
