The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Funny that republicans aren't rushing here to discuss the political leanings and motivations of the Florida State University gunman, Phoenix Ikner, who killed two and wounded six or claim that the “left put a saddle on a tiger, and now their little monster squads are out doing their thing.”

Before attending Florida State, the suspect attended Tallahassee Community College, now known as Tallahassee State College, where two former classmates said he shared far-right political views that they found troubling. The suspect was a registered Republican who regularly voted in elections, county records show.

Reid Seybold, 22, a senior at Florida State, said the suspect joined a political discourse club that Mr. Seybold ran at Tallahassee State. The suspect’s time in the club was short-lived.

“He repeatedly espoused white supremacist, alt-right views to the point where people were uncomfortable, and we had to ask him to leave,” Mr. Seybold said, adding that the discussions often became “Phoenix against just about everyone else,” with the suspect escalating arguments and seeming to thrive on the opposition.


Ikner said Rosa Parks was in the wrong and “strongly implied that Black people were ruining his neighborhood. He also said Joe Biden was an illegitimate president.”

Huh.

Okay. Now I get why republicans haven't mentioned him.
