What caught your attention in the world today?

Published

I came across this is little story today, it's not breaking news.  I suspect that a member of the housekeeping staff knows something about the bomb threat that required the sweep for weapons.

According to police in Secaucus, the bomb threat — which later was determined to be bogus — was called in to Hudson Regional Hospital on July 18. During a search, bomb detection dogs led investigators to an unlocked office closet containing dozens of firearms.

Among the weapons were 11 handguns and 27 rifles or shotguns, according to police. The closet also contained a .45 caliber semi-automatic rifle with a high-capacity magazine that was determined to be an assault rifle, and a 14-round high-capacity handgun magazine.

The arrested the guy the next day. 

What the heck do you think this guy was doing? It sounds very ominous that he was keeping those weapons there.

Controlling speech is nothing more than fascism,  which the left celebrates when it goes against conservatives.  look at California's bill to punish doctors for COVID misinformation.  Left wing fascism rearing its head as usual.

Again... controlling speech might be something that fascists attempt to do but your insistence that leftists can or would be called fascists is just remarkably wrong and, embarrassingly for you, it's been pointed out and explained in plain enough language for a child to understand.  Apparently you are unfazed by facts AND you have no sense of shame. 

Let me point out (again) what most of us  used to learn by the time we were in high school but you seem unable to retain... fascism is a form of right wing extremism.  Even though it's apparent that you don't read or retain information shared with you in these threads I will share more... forever optimistic that you are open to information and not fully indoctrinated requiring some "intervention".

You can listen to the last article... it doesn't require you to read for comprehension. Maybe if you listen you'll understand how modern fascists use conspiracy theory, propaganda, animus and fear mongering to divide and manipulate the populations of countries. Maybe if I introduce you to the professional American Journal of Public Health and talk to you like you are a fellow health professional, even though you've provided no evidence that you enjoy that level of education or critical thought, you will respond with discussion rather than right wing social media vitriol and propaganda.

Wrong.  Fascism doesn't hold a party label but actions within a party.  Dems are constantly trying to limit rights guaranteed  in the Constitution when they don't agree with them.    That's like saying racism and sexism are wholly left wing ideals.

Yet another Alt Left Black Supremacist masquerading as some "equity and inclusion officer" 

Kesha Hamiltion of a Michigan school board on record stating "Whiteness is so evil.. it manipulates then says, I won't apologize for my dishonesty and trauma inducing practices and thinks you should applaud it for being honest about its ability to manipulate and be dishonest.."

But I thought black supremacists weren't a thing, right?

Nope she meant the system. The whiteness that is associated with privilege and class. Not all white peoples. Try again

You have no clue what she meant.   Her words say other wise.  Stop defending hate.

"These white women are the stupidest."

"Found another job eventually, thankful.  The affects of this stuff lasts.  Working/living in/around/ with white folks is incredibly difficult.  Being subjected to them/their violence & treachery is severely abrasive....but they sleep peacefully at night.... its just tough out here."

There are more from the same vile bigoted black supremacist racist.  How the hell is she working on a school board?  I really feel for the white children in this system.

Black Supremacist, and you are sympathizing/excusing this bigoted hateful rhetoric.  Try again

Affirmative action how else do these clowns get their jobs.  They can't make it in the private sector they expect results.

Holy hell... the above comment is predictably but completely of base opinion that, once again, is in complete contradiction with facts, evidence, historical truths and expert analysis. 

Now it's evident that you neither read nor listen to citations presented in these threads... apparently preferring the crazy rhetoric to reality.  

Just for giggles, let's see if you can articulate which rights that you believe liberals are trying to limit.  Let's start with the 2nd amendment right to bear arms since that's the NRA darling of traditional conservatives who prefer to ignore parts of that text.  Beyond that deep concern for the right to have lots and lots of guns that republicans have... what other constitutional rights are liberals assaulting?  My bet is that you cannot articulate this liberal attempt to "limit rights" beyond the conservative angst over reproductive and privacy rights of women.  From past dialog it appears that you believe that limiting hate speech in social media represents a liberal assault on the free speech of conservatives. It's still not clear why you believe that hate speech is synonymous with conservative speech.  Maybe it is in your social circles.  That wouldn't be surprising.

We've already pointed out the 1st and 2nd amendments.  How many Constitutional rights being diminished are acceptable to you?  You already acknowledged an attack on the 2nd Amendment and we've already pointed out attacks by the left on the first amendment both speech and religion.  Go ahead and move the goal posts like you usually try and do.

Nothing in her remarks or those remarks defending her claim mention or imply supremacy of blacks, who were considered less than equal to white men until they were awarded the right to vote...in 1870, nearly 100 years after we declared ourselves independent from control by the Crown. You must have imagined that language.  A health professional certainly wouldn't just make up racially charged nonsense, right? 

We are accustomed to Trump conservatives having no compulsion to apologize for dishonesty... assuming that they are capable of discerning dishonesty from truthfulness. There's little contemporary evidence of that... that's why they elected Santos and were excited about Walker.
