MSNBC Pins Taking pictures on ‘Egocentric’ ‘Monsters’ Loving Weapons, Wanting ‘To See’ It Occur


Simply previous to and after Monday’s late press convention from Nashville legislation enforcement on the lethal college capturing at Covenant Faculty, MSNBC’s Deadline: White Home was working on all cylinders and fueled by a disturbing penchant for incitement on their a part of their viewers in opposition to conservatives.

Among the many expenses leveled on a present that might be dubbed Wealthy, White, Liberal, Wine Mother Story Hour, panelists blamed conservatives and Republicans for the capturing, claiming with out proof that their “gun tradition” has proven they need “to see” capturing occur seeing as how they’re David Koresh-supporting “monsters” stuffed with “selfishness.”

 

 

Host Nicolle Wallace began the second hour by telling deranged former FBI official Frank Figliuzzi that Republicans inspired an environment of college shootings seeing as how there are members of Congress “who put on AR-15-style pins on their lapels,” “have fun” the weapons utilized in such assaults whereas nonetheless possessing “enthusiasm for the gun tradition.”

Figliuzzi went additional by insisting individuals need to see assaults: “You’re proper. It’s not — it’s worse than doing nothing. It’s worse than being impartial on the difficulty. They really battle to see this stuff occur. That’s the underside line.”

He added that state legal guidelines imply little or no as “the weakest hyperlink within the image is the closest state that permits you to buy” any gun that is likely to be banned in a neighboring state.

Princeton professor and MSNBC contributor Eddie Glaude began down the fitting path by noting “one thing about us is damaged” earlier than proving, properly, we’re taking place the unsuitable path as a individuals by accusing Second Modification supporters of being “monsters who’re so egocentric about their weapons” who need to “permit for the situation that can take…infants away from us.”

MSNBC analyst and Showtime host John Heilemann tied the capturing (which the world quickly discovered was dedicated by a transgender individual enraged with the conservative Christian college she used to attend) to Saturday’s Trump rally in Waco, Texas.

Worse but, Heilemann argued those that assist/personal the AR-15 again the deranged, child-raping David Koresh (click on “develop”):

I used to be at Waco this weekend. We’re going to speak about that somewhat later. However, you realize, there are plenty of issues — when you stroll round within the space the place they’re promoting the merch, the right-wing merch there, there are plenty of issues which can be disturbing. Among the many many issues which can be disturbing about that — about issues in that tradition, one in every of them is the factor you talked about earlier, which is the celebration of weapons. So many t-shirts that say issues like “not vaccinated” after which an image of an AR-15, “absolutely protected,” you realize. Simply all over the place, man. There are such a lot of of those celebratory issues

(….)

[T]right here’s a tradition on the market. Clearly, we all know the story of what occurred at Waco. How did Waco begin? Waco began as a result of David Koresh was constructing machine weapons out of AR-15s, taking semi-automatic weapons, making them machine weapons and it was when ATF noticed proof of that and the truth that David Koresh was raping younger women that they determined to attempt to make a transfer on Waco and that’s what began the entire 51-day siege. And people individuals are heroes now on the fitting. David Koresh and the assault, the Waco, the Department Davidians at the moment are, you realize — we’ll discuss this extra later. However that’s how deep it goes. And it’s not new.

Following the press convention during which it was revealed the shooter was transgender, deliberate the assault, and left each a manifesto and plans for the assault, Wallace cued up Uvalde, Texas-area State Senator Roland Gutierrez (D), who argued “Republicans select the killers over the youngsters. They select weapons over the youngsters. We’ve received to do one thing.”

The present would shortly transfer again to its favourite obsession in Donald Trump, however not earlier than Glaude took extra pictures at gun house owners and ignored the shooter’s motivations.

As a substitute, it wasn’t the shooter guilty. As a substitute, such shootings happen due to “unbridled greed,” “selfishness,” and “indifference” of gun rights supporters (click on “develop”):

I’ve received three issues that come to thoughts, Nicolle. Greed, unbridled greed that overruns any notion of the general public good. Gun producers. I’m serious about selfishness. Don’t take away my weapons regardless that these households are shedding their infants, regardless that individuals are being shot with bump shares and weapons of struggle, I nonetheless have the fitting to my gun. To be damned you’re useless. Selfishness. Selfishness. The second. The third, indifference. Properly, it’s not my child. 

I’m protected the place I’m and so, whenever you mix greed, selfishness and indifference, democracy can not survive. We’re damaged. And so, we have now to handle the cultural background as we tackle the coverage concern. We’ve received to get the weapons underneath management. However we’ve additionally received to get the truth that we’re not dedicated to a notion of the general public good. And why is that the case? Why is that the case? I’m nonetheless attempting to wrap my thoughts round it.

Wallace agreed: “[I]t’s the third one which scares me essentially the most. Indifference. I can discuss to somebody who disagrees with me passionately. However the — the blankness of indifference I feel is what endangers all of us.”

MSNBC’s vile and harmful rhetoric towards individuals who’ve dedicated the crime of holding differing political opinions was made attainable because of the backing of advertisers equivalent to Hughesnet, Progressive, and Qunol.

NICOLLE WALLACE: And Frank, it’s not simply that we don’t do something. There are at the very least three Republican members of Congress who have fun these weapons Mary is speaking about, who put on AR-15-style pins on their lapels. We have now one thing greater than inaction. It’s not a gridlock downside. It’s an enthusiasm for the gun tradition on the fitting. 

FRANK FIGLIUZZI: You’re proper. It’s not — it’s worse than doing nothing. It’s worse than being impartial on the difficulty. They really battle to see this stuff occur. That’s the underside line. And look, you realize, states have tried individually to do the fitting factor, however till we have now a nationwide legislation that impacts the power to entry assault-style weapons, we’re not going to get our arms round this downside, as a result of the weakest hyperlink within the image is the closest state that permits you to buy this. And don’t be shocked if this 28-year-old lady was lawfully in possession of those two assault-style rifles and the handgun. We don’t know but, but it surely wouldn’t shock me in any respect if she did the fitting factor, went by the background verify. So, the issue is now not hey, we have to implement the principles in place. Sure, we do. After all. Proper? And we strive to do this with an ATF that’s woefully understaffed. It’s ludicrous to suppose that one thing like 3,000 particular brokers are going to cowl the nation when we have now extra weapons than individuals.

And these monsters who’re so egocentric round their weapons — proper — proceed to permit for the situation that can take a Hallie, a William, take these three infants away from us. I’m sorry, I’m simply attempting to course of it. It doesn’t — it goes past simply merely the weapons. It goes to us. We’re damaged as a result of it retains taking place over and over.

WALLACE: I don’t know what else to say aside from what Eddie simply articulated. I imply, as a result of the statistics, as Mary and Frank detailed them, are proper in entrance of our face. And so they’re in entrance of our face earlier than we come to work and change all the pieces that we’re going to speak about.

So many t-shirts that say issues like “not vaccinated” after which an image of an AR-15, “absolutely protected,” you realize. Simply all over the place, man. There are such a lot of of those celebratory issues. I had a child — I couldn’t say what his age was however he was not 18. In all probability — I feel — we didn’t put him on digital camera as a result of he was too younger, might need been 11, who needed to point out me his t-shirt. And he had an entire lengthy — an entire lengthy screed on the again of the t-shirt, printed t-shirt, a factor that was offered in mass portions that was about defending the Second Modification and the way basically it was an extended political screed that mainly stated, if we don’t all have our weapons, America gained’t be America anymore. He’s about 12, and he was very proud. He needed me to learn it. Look behind my t-shirt, you realize. I don’t blame that child. However that’s — there’s a tradition on the market. Clearly, we all know the story of what occurred at Waco. How did Waco begin? Waco began as a result of David Koresh was constructing machine weapons out of AR-15s, taking semi-automatic weapons, making them machine weapons and it was when ATF noticed proof of that and the truth that David Koresh was raping younger women that they determined to attempt to make a transfer on Waco and that’s what began the entire 51-day siege.

Our gun legal guidelines are so weak {that a} 12- year-old has a t-shirt that claims, I should have my weapons of mass destruction, I should have my AR-15. We have now a large downside on this nation. And from right here on out, individuals are going to have to consider day-after-day that they ship their little youngsters to high school that this can be the final time as a result of politicians in Washington and in each legislature refuse to do something.

However they misplaced — they had been murdered at present together with three — at the very least one janitor and two educators or directors on the college and lengthy after we’re finished speaking about Nashville, as a result of they’ve moved on to some other place, Buffalo, or Uvalde, or Parkland, or Newtown, or Montgomery Park, whoever has the misfortune of coming subsequent. These households will nonetheless be damaged. They are going to have nonetheless stopped time at present.

Greed, unbridled greed that overruns any notion of the general public good. Gun producers. I’m serious about selfishness. Don’t take away my weapons regardless that these households are shedding their infants, regardless that individuals are being shot with bump shares and weapons of struggle, I nonetheless have the fitting to my gun. To be damned you’re useless. Selfishness. Selfishness. The second. The third, indifference. Properly, it’s not my child. I’m protected the place I’m and so, whenever you mix greed, selfishness and indifference, democracy can not survive. We’re damaged. And so, we have now to handle the cultural background as we tackle the coverage concern. We’ve received to get the weapons underneath management. However we’ve additionally received to get the truth that we’re not dedicated to a notion of the general public good. And why is that the case? Why is that the case? I’m nonetheless attempting to wrap my thoughts round it.
