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.

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.  

I knew you wouldn't be able to articulate which rights you claim liberals were threatening.  Gun laws are the only thing you can think of and you aren't even capable of discussing that concept, as evidenced by your above comment.  

Such predictable partisan drivel without any critical thought.

Nothing in her remarks or those remarks defending her claim 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.

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.

Whiteness is evil, White Women are stupid.....  That insinuates that black people are superior to white people.  This is racism and you are defending it.  Bigotry and racism has no place in nursing, find another job.

Oh.... you are sharing YOUR INTERPRETATION of the words that we all can read and YOUR INTERPRETATION includes the notion of "black supremacy" even though there is no language suggesting "black supremacy" in the actual words of the woman or her defenders. 

What do they call that phenomenon in psychology, when people repeatedly make things up and then present those opinions or thoughts as factual when they aren't?

Baloney that's what they call it.

Blah blah 150 years ago blah blah.  Trump Trump Trump Blah Blah Blah.  Same old dog and pony show from the left on here.

As expected, you've no actual facts or discussion to add to the thread... just hyperpatisan attempts to troll the forum.  Now you're trying to engage in another topic while unable to defend your own claims about liberal attacks on rights.  

So very predictable and typical of Trump loving conservatives in this forum.

Your opinion is noted.  I didn't expect you to know the answer but I did expect the attempt to troll the discussion.  It is interesting that your comments repeatedly reflect little actual knowledge paired with substantial partisan angst about topics that ooze through far right social media and digital platforms.

Bigots don't like when they are called out.  I am sure you are open with your bigotry online but don't have the guts to openly spread your hate in public. 

You are okay with stating that a skin color is evil?  Or that women of a certain skin color are stupid?  You stand by that hate?

It's been stated on here time and time again even pointed out today.  Your falsehoods and made up facts are just that.  Now back your left wing talking about and TDS.

You must have imagined that language.  A health professional certainly wouldn't just make up racially charged nonsense, right?

Holly hell is right!! Just because she didn't say word for word that black people are better means she doesn't think black people are superior? Really??? 

That was a racist tirade of hate against a specific group. However instead of acknowledging what she said is racist, you want to talk word semantics. To deflect. 

Just flip "white" or "whitness" with "black" or "blackness". What would you think then?

Yes of course. When they do it it is virtuous. It's okay to discriminate against a certain race. Even open hateful racist vile things. It's all over the internet. When if the group was any other there would be cities burning. There hypocrisy is being challenged tho. Finally.

I have met white women who are incredibly stupid. Doesn't mean all of them are, but Ms. Hamilton's life experiences may make it seem like they are.

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.

Yep. Many on the left are blind to this
