    Charleston P.D. @CharlestonPD

    Dylann Roof bond hearing @ 2 pm today charged with 9 counts of murder & poss of a firearm during the commission of a violent crime.
    6:47 AM – 19 Jun 2015

    It’s illegal to possess a firearm in a church in South Carolina – so, no concealed carry.

    What might have been the outcome if it wasn’t?

  3. 3

    A picture has circulated of the alleged murderer, 21-year-old Dylann Roof, seen posing by a car featuring a South Carolina license plate depicting the Confederate flag. On Thursday, the Supreme Court ruled that the state of Texas can constitutionally reject proposals for similar license plate designs in its state without violating the First Amendment.

    Rather odd near-coincidence of events.

    The character who posts as ‘puddy’ should be banned from comments on this blog for gross and constant violations of the following:

    Deliberately off-topic comments (except in “open threads”), as well as pointless comments on these comments.

    And especially this:

    Deliberately repetitive comments, particularly those intended to repeat and a reinforce slander that has already been sufficiently debunked.

    This from the guy known for his ‘gross and constant’ unintentional off-topic posts.

    “Deliberately repetitive comments, particularly those intended to repeat and a reinforce slander that has already been sufficiently debunked.”

    Unless you want your comment threads to be littered with right-wing eliminationist rhetoric, ban the SOB.

    We’ll still have Toonerville to kick around.

    “This from the guy known for his ‘gross and constant’ unintentional off-topic posts.”

    We’re not asking anyone to ban racist radiologists who pull in $500K/Year while making snide remarks about those with less than a million bucks in the bank, so you can relax, Toonerville.

    @ 7

    Just as an aside, Steve (and Rujax!):

    Wouldn’t an honest, uniform application of that policy, and banning of those who violate, also cost HA the presence of Roger Rabbit?

    @ 1

    I don’t think he expected to see a Republican and Conservative majority in the Congress for most of his term.

    It is unfortunate that the so-called “conservatives” in this country are utterly convinced that the Constitution is being used as a weapon against them and has just become a major obstacle to their program. Especially in the light of Citizens United.

    No, you will not privatize the Social Security system.
    No, you will not be able to get rid of the child labor laws. No, you will not legalize rape. No, you will not continue to shift the tax burden on the working man and the poor folks. No, you will not be permitted to interfere in an individual’s health care decisions. No, you will not be allowed to outlaw birth control. No, you will not be allowed to legislate religious morality into Law. No, you will not ever be in a position to close the United States borders.

    No. Just, no.

    @1 I’m sure everyone was deluded enough to think the first black president was going to change hundreds of years of racist government. Yeah, right.
    However, I came to talk about how people on the left are fawning over the pope’s declaration on climate. Don’t forget, people, this is the same church that has a direct responsibility for the earth’s overpopulation and continues to do so. So, really, this is more stagecraft than change. Something the church has mastered.

    If you’re referring to the eliminationist rhetoric spewed by a certain rabbit we know who prays to the Great Mother Spirit Rabbit for the extinction of humanity for spoiling the earth, then I’ll score you half a point, but no call for a ban. After all, it’s just a rabbit, and I don’t believe the blog rules at HA apply to rabbits. Besides, humanity has been eating those fuckers for millennia. Rabbits could argue they have more cause for grievance than anybody here, I’m sure.

    @ 15

    Half-point for a nocturnally coprophagic hare-brain seems reasonable.

    @ 14

    Every example I mentioned in post # 10 there, is based directly on statements made in, and bills repeatedly proposed in Congress and nearly every State Legislature in the country over the last several years by the GOP, often in terms of poison pill amendments to other, non-related spending bills. John Bush is now openly campaigning on privatizing Social Security, and privatizing the rest of most Government functions to his patron Corporations.

    John Bush, Rand Paul, Chris Cristie, Rand Paul, George W Bush, Ronald Reagan, Newt Gingrich etc etc etc and et-fucking-cetera have all openly made such statements openly, and continue to do so.

    So shaddap.

  19. 19

    “Don’t forget, people, this is the same church..”

    Same church, but a decidedly different Pope.

    My own fawning is based on how the nation’s Catholics have been drifting away from voting as a Democratic Party block, and how the Pope’s encyclical has the extremist Republican base and talking heads foaming at the mouth and viciously attacking him.

    This is not going to help Republicans at all in 2016. I believe that if Republicans can’t find a way out of attacking the Pope, this may be a game changer.

    After all, much of the Republican base has only recently graduated from using the word “papists” in the same sentence with “commies” and “niggers”.

    They have a real problem.

    Honestly though, if His Holiness really cared about the world’s poor he’d give them condoms. Maybe handing out condoms could be incorporated into the communion ritual. He has that in his power.

  22. 22

    The only off topic i can think quickly is rabbits habit of bragging how he’s working the capitalist system better say.. radiologists who still have to be wage slaves. Rabbit being better capitalism than cheap labor conservatives hardly rises to level of squid ink and hate spewed by puddy.

  23. 23

    As much as puddy is loathsome, he shouldn’t be banned. He is the current example of a flaming bigot, an overt one, while bickle plays role of the closet, covert racist. Puddy is the frothing redneck, bickle is institutional subtle oppression. We need to reminded of both.

    Gays use children as props and she delivers specific instances in her brief!

    Wow.. Substitute Blacks for Gays, or anything else for that matter (Jews, Catholics, any ethnicity) in that statement and we have the most definitive proof of hateful, bigoted attitudes on the part of the troll.

    And the babbling jackass doesn’t the touch the FACT that a magistrate in NC can deny a marriage license to an interracial couple or a black couple for that matter based on whatever religious idiocy that controls its mind.

    Very sick puppy this babbling jackass.

    Children are more at risk with fundamentalist christians than with gays.

    WAYYYYY more at risk.

    @1 This country has changed for the better drastically since 2009, to wit:

    1. Obama got us out of 2 Republican wars.
    2. Our government isn’t torturing people anymore.
    3. The economy is recovering, the stock market is soaring, and unemployment is half what it was.
    4. Over 30 million more people now have health insurance.
    5. The Justice Department is taking a proactive role in reining in excessive force by local police.
    6. The U.S. banking system and automakers were saved.
    7. OPEC is on the ropes, our foreign oil imports have been cut in half, oil prices have dropped by 50%, and gas has been selling in the $2s.
    8. Bin Laden and Ghaddafi are dead.
    9. Gay rights have made huge advances.
    10. Federal spending is growing at the slowest rate in decades and the federal deficit has been cut by two-thirds.

    These changes piss off Bob to no end.

    @3 You’re suggesting a Supreme Court decision that was months in the making was swayed by a news event that occurred after the decision was written?

    @15 I’ve never prayed for the extinction of your species; I merely argue that the collective stupidity of your species makes its extinction inevitable.

    @27…You must go through a lot of chapstick, spending as much time as you do with your lips firmly planted on Obama’s ass.

    Your list reads like a stock DNC e-mail portraying the world as being all unicorns and rainbows since The One came to power

    @ 32

    Ah, you’re one of those.

    Lol.

    Well, it isn’t often that a well-established dumbfuck can out dumbfuck himself. I suppose you’ll have your day too, eventually.

    Case in point.

    @32 Some people just can’t stand to see others succeed where they’ve failed miserably.

  37. 37

    @33 I knew Rick Perry was a dick when he allowed an innocent man to be executed and then fired the Texas commission that tried to investigate it, but calling the Charleston massacre an “accident” caused by drugs (not, mind you, by the ease with which criminals and madmen can get guns in this country) takes dickishness to a new level.

  38. 38

    @34 That’s Bob? I hoped we had a new troll. They’re becoming scarce. It’s like they all died or something.

    While left-wing eliminationist rhetoric is A-OK per Stupid Solution Steve. Puddy recently gave seven examples and nary a peep from Stupid Solution Steve.

    Enforcement is a two way street Stupid Solution Steve.

    Wow.. Substitute Blacks for Gays

    WRONG again monomaniacal moronic moonbattic memoryless crazed cretin yellowishleakingbuttspigot absolutely neurotic low IQ arschloch. Amazing how a hispanic throws race into the equation. What do you know about being black? ABSOLUTELY nuthin. As Jesse Jackson said, gay and race are not equal.

    Sux to be the monomaniacal moronic moonbattic memoryless crazed cretin yellowishleakingbuttspigot absolutely neurotic low IQ arschloch!

    And the the great and wonderful Puddy doesn’t the touch the FACT that a magistrate in NC can deny a marriage license to an interracial couple or a black couple for that matter based on whatever religious idiocy that controls its mind.

    And where is this law. Produce the case law monomaniacal moronic moonbattic memoryless crazed cretin yellowishleakingbuttspigot absolutely neurotic low IQ arschloch

    And this is the source of the monomaniacal moronic moonbattic memoryless crazed cretin yellowishleakingbuttspigot absolutely neurotic low IQ arschloch rant above.

    Rachel Maddow explains how Republican legislators in North Carolina are poised to override a veto by the governor of an anti-gay marriage bill that would also make it legal for clerks to reject marriage licenses for interracial or interfaith couples.

    Let’s clear the air for the monomaniacal moronic moonbattic memoryless crazed cretin yellowishleakingbuttspigot absolutely neurotic low IQ arschloch.

    THERE IS NO LAW ON THE NORTH CAROLINA BOOKS BANNING INTERRACIAL MARRIAGE!

    So why doesn’t rujaxoffallthetimestillprovingnuthinappears call for the banning of the crazed monomaniacal yellowishleakingbuttspigot arschloch for repetitive off topic horsemanure?

    Illegal Alien Enforcement? What illegal alien enforcement? http://www.nationalreview.com/.....38;tid=982

    Just to be clear, these were convicted criminals, in ICE custody, who had been ordered deported but were instead released back into U.S. communities, and then went on to murder Americans.

    And these illegal aliens are cheered by HA DUMMOCRETINS!

    Where Franklin Graham Has Gone Wrong
    March 31, 2014 by Peter Wehner
    By Peter Wehner

    The evangelist Franklin Graham had quite a run last week.
    In interviews and statements, he praised Russian president Vladimir Putin’s anti-gay policies. “I agreed with Putin. I think protecting his nation’s children, I think, was a pretty smart thing to do,” Graham told the Charlotte Observer’s Tim Funk. “I was very clear. I supported Putin in his decision to protect his nation’s children. And I think our Congress needs to do more in protecting our children.” (Mr. Graham’s oddly sympathetic article on Putin, published in Decision magazine, can be found here).

    “Simply Wrong”: Another Fact Checker Blows Up A Favorite Conservative Lie About The Clinton Foundation HANNAH GROCH-BEGLEY

    But as FactCheck.org explained, “That just isn’t so. The Clinton Foundation does most of its charitable work itself.” In fact, an independent philanthropy watchdog found that about 89 percent of Clinton Foundation funding goes to charity, through their in-house work. FactCheck.org concluded the false claim “amounts to a misunderstanding of how public charities work.”

    @48, and that’s why thugs like Sidney Blumenthal (hero of the early onset senile schismatic IDIOT Wabbit) are on the payroll!

  51. 51

    @50 Sidney Blumenthal is a journalist, not a thug, but I’m not surprised that someone of your intellectual capacity would be confused over that. Speaking of Sidney Blumenthal, he described in vivid detail how George W. Bush was caught napping by Al Qaeda on 9/11/01:

    “Bush’s approach in most situations seemed a reactive combination of calculations to avoid his father’s mistakes and to reject Clinton’s policies. This was especially clear in international affairs: in his first nine months he reversed Clinton’s policy toward China, proclaiming it no longer a ‘strategic partner’ but a ‘strategic competitor’; in the Middle East, by withdrawing U.S. involvement in the negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians; toward Korea, by abandoning the negotiated accord that had frozen the North’s nuclear program and by humiliating President Kim of South Korea, who was promoting North-South reconciliation, during his March 2001 visit to the White House, contributing to a wave of anti-Americanism in a country that was among the staunchest American allies; by withdrawing U.S. support from the Kyoto treaty on global warming; and by forsaking Clinton’s efforts to address the dangers of international terrorism.

    “During the transition between administrations, National Security Adviser Sandy Berger arranged several extensive briefings on this last subject for Bush’s incoming national security adviser, Condoleeza Rice, and others on the Bush team, including Vice President Cheney. One briefing lasted half a day. Berger told them that Osama bin Laden was an ‘existential threat’ and told them that he wanted ‘to underscore how important this issue is.’ In another briefing, Richard Clarke, head of counterterrorism in the NSC, the single most knowledgeable expert in the government, gave them a complete tutorial on the subject. In yet another briefing, CIA officials were brought in to go over all the intelligence available on terrorism.

    “Don Kerrick, a three-star general and outgoing deputy national security adviser, overlapped for four months with the new Bush people. He submitted a memo for the new National Security Council warning of the danger of terrorism. ‘We are going to be struck again,’ he wrote. But as Kerrick explained to me, he received no answer to his memo. ‘They didn’t respond,’ he said. ‘They never responded. It was not high on their priority list. I was never invited to one meeting. They never asked me to do anything. They were not focusing. They didn’t see terrorism as the big megaissue that the Clinton administration saw it as. They were concentrated on what they thought were higher priorities than terrorism.’ The Principals meeting of national security officials took up terrorism only once, after constant pressure from Clarke, on September 4, 2001, and at that meeting they discussed using unmanned Predator drone spy aircraft, but no decision was made. ‘Unfortunately,’ said Kerrick, ‘September 11 gave them something to focus on.’”

    Seriously? Now you want ignore facts and blame 911 attacks on bill Clinton’, not bush? Revisionist history!
