Gun Folks Think It's Funny Two Were Shot @420 Rally

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by krispos42 (a host of the Gun Control & RKBA group).

a sampling of posts at The Denver Post:

Stupid hippies. The waste product of society. Too bad more didn't go down.

This is what you get from the pot crowd. It's all just peace, love, togetherness, until reality hits. Nobody saw anything; anything goes. No responsibility when you're getting high. It's off to the planets. Getting stoned, not looking for a job, not caring about anything is such a cool thing to teach your kids, right? Really?

never seen stoners move so fast...

Pot smokers are just as peaceful as Muslims.

All the pot heads have something in common w/Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, a fellow pot head and jihadist.

Pavement apes, little great leaders, if Obama had a son it would look like this. Need I say more?

Pot smokers are just as peaceful as Muslims.

It says the suspected shooters are two black men, one wearing a hoodie.
If Obama had a son . .

you found some RW extremists, are you trying to compare a few nuts to most honest gun owners?
Because if you are, and I'm only asking, you've failed miserably.

Ironically, a lot of self-described conservatives smoke pot, they just don't admit it. It wouldn't surprise me if a lot of those posters did, they just hate the particular group that gathered at 420. Hypocrites.

I don't see any such self-identification by the commenters -- did you? Or just an assumption on your part?

"Gun folks say stupid, insensitive things. These people said stupid, insensitive things. Therefore, they must be gun folks."

Does that sort of describe how you came to your conclusion?

I am not seeing it. Consider this to be an alert on this thread. Thank you.

Smartphone screen is much smaller than desktop screen.

Discussing the merits of comments posted in response to a news story does not fit the SoP of the Group. The news story itself, the shooting at the 420 rally, would fall under the SoP.

This would probably be best discussed in GD.
