Two Minnesota state lawmakers who are members of the Democratic-Farm-Labor Party were shot early Saturday by a person posing as a law enforcement officer just north of Minneapolis.

    What is this, an Abbott and Costello bit? The words in a sentence are important - all of them. There are differences between people being for violence (as if that’s a thing), people recognizing that violence is sometimes necessary, people thinking that violence is appropriate in response to this issue, and people calling for violence. Those all mean different things. Maybe you throw them all in the same mental bucket, but they are not the same. This is a symptom of thinking in thought terminating cliches. That used to be a Republican thing, but its sad how often I’m seeing it now on the left.

    And I disagree… You and I are not going to agree on the violence thing.

    Which is fine. There is nothing wrong with us disagreeing on that. The problem is when you mix that in with accusations that I (and others) support violence in cases where we don’t, or claim we are calling for violence in response to this incident when we have done no such thing.

    Please disengage from this conversation.

    Sure, I have no doubt that you can keep it going all by yourself. You really don’t need me for it.

        You don’t get to decide when others disengage, only yourself. If you don’t want more replies, just stop commenting.

            You just had a comment in this thread

            Mods will mod. I don’t think that comment should have been removed, but I’m not going to protest it.

            You trying to get your comments removed for slapfighting too or what?

            I’ll go with “what”. I’m not sure the mods will penalize me for not following your commands.

            let it go

            It may go whenever it wants.
