If you want to find a place in America where a virulent racist feels comfortable sharing his views openly, there are few better ones than a gun show.

Both terrifying and pathetic. But good on the person who turned him in. That may have saved quite a few lives.

those “conservatives” are pretty damned radical.

My first thought was, “Now that’s a good guy with a gun.” I’m just assuming a person who attends a lot of shows probably has one, and the gender wasn’t specified. After this story and the one about the reporter who infiltrated an event Alito attended, I’m hoping we see more of this!

Although there remains no doubt about it, it still would’ve been a wee-bit socially useful if they had got him on record about his avid support for trump.

No, you don’t understand! Gun show booths have tons of WWII memorabilia because of patriotism and history! The fact that it’s a surprising quantity of Nazi shit is sheer coincidence! HISTORY!
Gun shows are weird fucking places man.

I will take your word for it. No interest in attending one of those hives of scum and villainy.

Why do these nut jobs think murdering a few people is going to start some sort of war?

Unfortunately, one doesn’t have to be very intelligent to have ideas or acquire weapons.

And after your dream war, Mr. Prieto, do you think a last name like that will be “white enough” for your fascist overlords?

I cannot hear the words “race war” without thinking about this scene from In Bruges.

There’s a good chance that someone will show up here to say that many decent, non-racist people attend gun shows – people like the informant, people like themselves. Which may be true, but does not contradict my comment in the least.

The ‘Charles Manson effect,’ I guess.
Such deluded, bigoted assholes always seem to forget Manson never even got close to his goal of “Helter Skelter,” and he died in prison.

Also, thinking that he’s going to start a “race war,” which is exactly what every other white supremacist who did mass shootings thought they were going to start. Totally impervious to reality - even their own.

This is based on the thinking that “Black people are unthinking animals, and if threatened by a white person, will lash out at any and all white people around them.” This is a large part of why they are always befuddled when Black people act like decent, normal people. This short circuits all their core beliefs, and leads to stupid statements like “Oh, that’s one of the good ones” They don’t have more than one book to read from, and it’s pretty much always the same song.

Trump would pardon this guy. Good people on both sides.

It’s worse than that. It’s predicated on the idea that, once this “war” has started, it will be open season on [list of perceived undesirables] and anyone (read: white guy) can shoot them on sight because they are now the “enemy”.
Fuck that guy and everybody like him.
