[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Suggest not engaging with the conservative trolls in this thread, many of whom don’t live in DC.

The way to beat trolling is just to keep repeating your truth[/b].  If you try to debunk they’ll just change their lie.  Normally you want to use a truth sandwich: lead with the truth, note the lie, then return to the truth.  The trolls will work hard to distract you into peripheral arguments where they are not obviously wrong. Don’t take the bait. Just reply by restating the main truth[/b].[/quote]

What are you even talking about? The "main truth" here is that a mother and 5-year old child got shot for no reason. This sort of senseless violent crime is completely outrageous - or at least it should be - no matter whether your politics are left or right. Are we supposed to just "keep repeating the truth" that the violent criminal is the real victim here like in some kind of cult?[/quote]

(Thank you for the excellent example of trolling!)

The truth:
We could ban guns tomorrow and this shooting would have been much less likely.  It’s the shooters fault. Don’t blame the victim.  
Prosecute the shooter.
Ban guns.
And Republicans helped the shooter do this by flooding the streets with guns.

See how easy that is? [/quote]
