  1. If my words were constantly being used by murderers I’d start to think about changing my words.

  2. Anyone that would seek to separate us from each other, because of our petty little differences is not to be trusted, or believed. That some one, would actually take hate of another into their heart because of something like the color of their skin is wrong to do so.

    1. @Harry the Hat me and Trump are living rent free in your head, I hope you haven’t got any firearms as you seem pretty radicalised, and like the buffalo shooter seem to be a fairly centre left authoritarian as he stated in his manifesto. Your fantasy about an assault rifle is disturbing which you couldn’t get as they’re illegal over there. You could buy a semi automatic rifle but not an assault rifle.

    2. @Deborah Runkle Deborah, we are on the same side here. It’s just the name of the entertainment channel.

  3. Sometimes hate can be a powerful weapon against an enemy but as a society when we turn hate on ourselves it is unconquerable enemy🤔

    1. @Sparky’s ImaginationI am not sure what are you talking about, “let the strong win”, that is about races or some radical organizations? That is some kind of social Darwinism, you claim that one race became strong via some strange methods and that will bring demise to another race, or again, you are talking about some groups?
      I must admit I don’t understand what are you saying.

    2. @Sparky’s Imagination Oh, I see. Now I understand you… Yes, to an extent you are right.

  4. We are all humans and this is our right to be known as humans any other label is a failure. We all are equal and this is our right to be equal to another, the failure of this is down to pure hate and hate dies when stupid morons show their ugly vileness, they’re clearly ill and need help. Respect all, love all, if you can’t, then it’s your issue not ours!

    1. @slash dot so if they build section 8 housing next to a white neighborhood that doesnt cause trouble?

    2. @Red November yep….people of different creeds and color don’t generally get on….that’s how conflict, then wars begin.

    3. @Red November No such chance in Novosibirsk. Or, more likely, it would be white poor people housing.

      If you meant US, then for most people it’s not about race, but about real estate prices. In other words, 8t is poverty Americans fear most. The rest is irrelevant. Help lift people out of poverty and see all that trouble go away (with the exception of few actual racists).

  5. I am very sad. The people losing their lives in Buffalo is uncalled for and disgusting. How do we talk to these murderers before they become so radicalized? Whether they like it or not they’re going to have to learn they are WRONG. How do we do that?

  6. When they say remember history not to repeat it, they were not talking to the fascists. They were talking to those who refused to do what needed to be done to stop them.

  7. My condolences….I am so very sorry for all of your loss…my heart goes out to all of you

    1. he apologized to the white guy and he let him live….only a gentlemen would do that….id give him a pass for the other stuff

  8. Wait. Are you talking about Charles Manson, the cult leader that influenced his members to commit 9 murders? The cult leader that was found guilty for was convicted of first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder for the death of several. The prosecution contended that, while never directly ordered the murders, his ideology constituted an overt act of conspiracy… meh same thing.

    1. A stupid comparison, but yes, it is somewhat of a cult when a mass of people believes lies.

  9. When someone this young goes on a killing spree, upbringing by parents is always partially to blame.

    1. Another dylan roof ..these kids weren’t raised they’ve been dragged up with insecurities..hating themselves & others… young, Naive and Lost.. they’ll get a gr8 life lesson in Prison.

  10. We never wanted to continue to allow, but the law makers def allow this to continue to Happen as No drastic measures were even proposed each time it occurred!! They would only go as far as to disallow usage of plastic bags for grocery shopping!! So it just keeps repeating itself!!

    “A generation which ignores history has no past and no future.” -Robert Heinlen

    1. @Yaaghob Rahmani Could you maybe use some proper grammar and make a little bit of sense next time, please… oh, and stop deleting your other comments.
      Maybe you shouldn’t write them in the first place.

  12. It won’t be the politicians who save us it’ll have to be the lawyers.! A action suit against all the media that is pursuing these lies.! One that shows the social harm caused by the coordinated effort.! That coordinated effort has to be the heart of the suit. Shown in glorious montage

  13. “Replacement theory” isn’t a theory. It’s an excuse for extremism and violence.
    For those unaware, the old saying goes, “Great minds think alike, but fools seldom differ.” They always leave out the last part of the French saying.

  14. This scenario is ruining our country. I heard about this in the 70s, in middle school social studies. The adult people influencing these youngsters should be arrested , and financially hampered to a large extent. Dumb people understand jail, and large fines.

    1. @ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ there is no difference between a fascist right winger who is playing dumb and a fascist right winger that is dumb… neither are worth the time playing semantic games with online.

  15. Wait he was actually holding up the headline of the shooting that just happened and laughing? The man should be jailed and someone needs to check his basement!

  16. Please, can we FINALLY take away the legitimacy that being on national network, broadcast internationally, gives these sociopaths? I can’t unplug my mom’s tv, but I sure wish I could…

  17. This is America, there is room here for everyone! Black, brown or white, or whatever the skin color we are all human beings. PLEASE people, we are ALL brothers and sisters, we are ALL connected, this hate must stop, innocent people are dying. God bless America and God help us🙏💙🇺🇸💙

  18. “…equivalent to a city entirely populated by poor people with limited education”

    Sounds more like Tucker is describing his own audience.
