I agree. I've always enjoyed JB's commentary. It just seems like something went sour since the last time we saw him.



You're reading way too far into what I said. I meant in general. I can understand where JB is coming from relating to this issue although I don't agree. I was asking a general question on what soured his mood overall. I miss the old snarky 1 liner JB that had a fun sense of humor. Something changed.

The JB I remember had a sick gun collection, was 100% snark and took everything as a joke. Did you get abducted by aliens man? Was there an anal probe? Did you like it?

She did NOT deserve to die. We absolutely agree about this.

But she was there. She was part of a crowd that has a proven preference to violence. And she didn't have to be.

She could have chosen to distance herself from violence, and she would not have been there.

Choices folks. Life is full of choices.

Go skydiving and you might bounce off the ground at terminal velocity. Drive a car and you may get in a car accident. Join a violent mob and you may encounter violence. Life is a series of calculated risks. Your choices determine the level of risk.

Did she deserve to die? Of course not. Did she put herself in a risky situation? Yes, she did.

I can get behind what you are saying.

I think it was mentioned before: mental illness appears to have been involved in this incident.

It's also sad to see the media fueling divisive hated among people. On the other hand, can't we go in this direction:

I know I am going to get the same kind of responses for this video, that i got for the other. Hard to watch...

Well, suck it up, buttercup. And try to watch at least 20 minutes of this. Amongst all the talk talk talk talk talk... You'll discover they have got some things pretty well figured out.

fringe much?

So when does this statue get pulled down?

The way I see is a bit different. I'm off the boards for a while, and upon my return I see it's turned into Breitbart Lite in some ways. I have the same strong opinions I always had. It is some of you who have changed. I guess Trump has that effect on people.

I think it matters not HOW you fight Nazis. They are fucking NAZIS.

I hope you realize that antifa is just fascism with a different label. Same shit, different assholes.

once again, another meme that only tells a little bit of the whole story. Nothing but right wing recruitment propaganda. Robert Byrd became a Senator after he disavowed the KKK in 1952. He lead a long life combating against the beliefs that he once held in his early 20's and 30's. Read more about him before you condemn his beliefs please. By the end of his life he was held in high regard by the same people he once rallied against. The first image is a photo shopped anyway. facts matter.

Considering that Antifa put up posters in Seattle saying that it's "not alright to hire whites, date whites"or generally associate with them I'd say they are pretty much racists too.

You could say the same for James Longstreet during Reconstruction who risked his life as a National Guard leader to protect African Americans. How did that work out for his statues that came down?
