Donald Trump, Jr. offers his thoughts on the NZ shooter.


?s=20


Donald Trump Jr.

@DonaldJTrumpJr
Don’t give the POS NZ shooter what he wants. Don’t speak his name don’t show the footage. Seems that most agree on that. The questions is can the media do what’s right and pass up the ratings they’ll get by doing the opposite? I fear we all know the answer unfortunately.

He has never said anything like this for another shooting. This one, where the shooter said he admired trump's white supremacy he says not to talk about. He doesn't want the media to point out that the killer loves him some trump supremacy.

Candace Owens was another person he admired. She put out a horrific tweet last night, with a laughing emoji

Owens tweeted 'LOL!' followed by the emoji in response to a Twitter user whose comment has since been deleted.'I’ve never created any content espousing my views on the 2nd Amendment or Islam.
'The Left pretending I inspired a mosque massacre in...New Zealand because I believe black America can do it without government hand outs is the reachiest reach of all reaches!! LOL!' she said.

<snip>

When followers pointed out the impropriety of her response, she was indignant and argued back with them but failed to make a single solemn or sympathetic remark about the shooting or its dozens of victims.

My warmest sympathy and best wishes goes out to the people of New Zealand after the horrible massacre in the Mosques. 49 innocent people have so senselessly died, with so many more seriously injured. The U.S. stands by New Zealand for anything we can do. God bless
all!

Best wishes and goes out?

So withholding it seems to represent for him some sort of punishment. Also hiding this massacre from the public eye, not discussing it lets everyone get back to the more important business of making as much money as possible. But we need to talk about this massacre in NZ. It is cathartic to discuss it. It is important to remind ourselves, our family and friends, our children that hatred is poisin. Hatred is what Hell is all about.

Then there's the issue of civilian access to assault weapons.

the whole thing, in public, even the court cases.

We need answers!

What drives people to do acts like this?

Where did the guns come from?

What role did Trump play in encouraging this?

And the legal system response to this . . . 49 life sentences for each of them?

Then there is the likely government response. Gun bans. Only police, security guards and the military should be carrying. And those military assault rifles in the hands of a civilian? Someone so deranged he dresses in military style and plays marching music as if off to war?Questions will be asked, and answered, and action will be taken.

Sorry Don. Daddy let the genie out of the bottle, now face the consequences, in public. Your 'hush up' line is pathetic and beneath contempt!

But how embarrassing, Don. Daddy wants violence against minorities, but they weren't to say he put them up to it! Best blame the media for any negativity, there's a good clone!
By the way, 'thoughts and prayers' would have fitted in well there, somewhere.

I doubt he'll be the last to do that, either. They're all circling the wagons, furiously trying cover up the fact that the Orange Shitgibbon's and Candace Owen's names were brought up as the New Zealand mass-murderer's inspiration.

Mar 2019

I think I know why Don "the Con" Jr. does not want the media to say the name of the shooter and discuss his words. If the media were to discuss the shooter, and they are, it would be clear that he was a white guy who seemed to like Donald Trump. I bet if this guy had been a Muslim claiming to be a fan of Barack Obama, Don Jr. would have been claiming that the media should identify the shooter and discuss his words. He would also claim that if the media did not discuss the words of the shooter and identify him it was proof of the media's bias.

42. Trump encouraged this to happen
Fri Mar 15, 2019, 10:46 AM
Mar 2019

Trump described the late U.S. general John Pershing, a “rough” man. He then claimed, approvingly, that Pershing had summarily executed 49 Muslim prisoners during the U.S. occupation of the Philippines in the early-1900s — and had added religious insult to the supposed killings by dipping the bullets in the bloods of pigs, which Muslims are forbidden to consume.

“This was a terrible problem. They were having terrorism problems just like we do,” he said. “And he caught 50 terrorists who did tremendous damage and killed many people. And he took the 50 terrorists and he took 50 men and he took 50 bullets, and he dipped them in pigs’ blood. You heard that, right? He took 50 bullets! And he dipped them in pigs’ blood.

“And he had his men load his rifles, and he lined up the 50 people, and they shot 49 of those people. And the 50th person, he said, ‘You go back to your people and you tell them what happened.’ And for 25 years there wasn’t a problem, OK? Twenty-five years there wasn’t a problem.”

He concluded by linking the story to present-day problems for a second time.

“So we better start getting tough and we better start getting vigilant, and we better start using our heads or we’re not gonna have a country, folks,” he said.
