Doesn't mean anything. I registered R so I can vote in r primaries. I am as D as can be.
- still mad about Kavanaugh |
Many older Irish Americans were democrats in the 50s and 60s and then went very republican - the regan democrats etc.. I grew up in NY State and this is very common. Did you look to see who if anyone he gave political contributions too?

Is it really that hard to believe that a Democrat owns a gun and uses it? Now you're making yourself look bad. |
What you are calling mental illness is just a guy who has never been diagnosed with anything and owns a legal gun. So, why do YOU think he decided to shoot at the car? Yes, I am going with paranoia TV. |
Didn't say he ISN'T a Dem - just that we don't know his politics. His registration doesn't necessarily prove much. |

Per this article: “Online records show that Monahan lives at his home along Patterson Hill Road in Salem, New York, with his wife of 35 years, Polly Jinx Monahan. He is a registered Republican.” |
Violent crime in this country is so much better than it was in the 90s when I was a young man. These delusional people looking at the country through the Fox Funhouse Mirror think they're in more danger than they were 30 years ago. |
Legends in their own mind. |
Because systemic racism is based on a power structure dictated by the Caucasian race. It’s acceptable to point out examples of it in action and calling out white people on their shit. Your grievance about that and attempt to draw comparisons to stereotypes about marginalized people is invalid. |
PP thought he had something! |
Bingo. Likely another frightened Fox News / MAGA type. They're marinated in fear. |
OP, your description of Fox “news” in your second paragraph was spot on. As a self described old white male I think you correctly answered your own question! |
NP here, what is quite a stretch is to presume that killer is mentally ill. Do you presume that ALL killers are mentally ill? |
It's not at all a stretch when you consider that Fox News, the NRA, and Republican have been gaslighting their key demographic of white men. All three have convinced these people to believe that crime is rampant, minorities are out to replace them, and that the only solution is to arm themselves. What we are seeing here and in Kansas City is a direct result of this. |
NP again, and since this killer called his lawyer the minute the cops showed up, and did not speak to the cops, but to his lawyer, that indicates he has the full capacity of comprehension and self preservation. |
