Don’t let the cucks get you down, sweetheart. When I think of the finest conservative minds in P@N, your name leads the pack.
I'd say he successfully dragged us down to his level and beat us with experience. I'm going to try to figure out my desire to win.

Idaho is a weird place. Even if we give those teachers the benefit of the doubt and say they were trying to poke fun at Trump's wall, it's still a costume choice that they should have known would offend many. Casual racism? Probably. Lack of professional judgement? Absolutely.

More PC run amok! Never mind the yoga studio shooting, these people are the real victims, clearly.

I'm guessing this will get a 4:1 mention ratio over the shooting in Tallahassee on Fox Noise and talk radio.

the shooter in Tallahassee was just another far right wing misogynist and racist. it's getting so common they don't make national news anymore.

And you know this how? It's certainly not been reported in the media. It may well prove to be true but at this point in time nobody seems to have a clue about the guy other than he's ex military, a former teacher and has a record of physically harassing women.

To this point, this is the most info that I've seen on the guy

Especially if that "news" is from Fox or an affiliate of Sinclair Broadcasting I've noticed.

Yup, people programmed to be victims by the left. Like we're some kind of melting pot or something. Sheesh.
Yelling bigot or racist is now a pavlovian response from the limp wristed bitch brigade anytime they hear or see something that offends their delicate sensibilities. Which, of course, is anything short of someone patting them on the head and handing them a trophy.

Really? I live in Tallahassee and haven't heard anything about him being a far right wing misogynist and racist. Please give your sources.

Ah, I see. The buzzfeed article. Well, certainly could be. Why he would travel to Tallahassee to shoot up one specific small yoga class is anyone's guess at this point and doesn't fit particularly well with far right wing or racist or misogynist.

Shoulda gone with slutty border wall...

The title of the story suggests that the "Mexican stereotypes" and the border wall were at the same school but from the body of the story it looks like these were two separate faculties and the "Mexican Stereotype" outfits were largely clean and colorful.

Border wall is clearly a "bad shoot" on the part of the staff and just plain dumb thinking. Wouldn't want those folks teaching my kids when they cannot perform basic critical thinking and analysis on their own Halloween costumes.

The Mexican outfits needs some more context, these folks weren't dressing up as some of Trump's "bad hombres" or anything, or partaking in some sort of subtext by pairing up with the wall teachers.

Really bad and non-sequitur comparison, that dude was not in any way offending anyone, he was wearing a pauncho to celebrate Cinco de Mayo, not to insult any Mexican person or their customs. Here, these nit-wit's are hiding behind a wall insinuating Mexicans, (or Latinos in general), are some sort of sub-species that needs to be "walled off". As already noted, (and F-ing laughable) is lady Liberty hiding behind a brick wall, very few of us are actually REAL Americans, all but a tiny % have roots from Europe/UK/elsewhere yet these a-holes seem to think they are "real" Americans, BULLSHI* and you KNOW it.

And yet liberals were offended he wore it. Go figure.

They were in the wrong here, the man was not mocking anyone but simply wanted to note that it was a holiday. Sometimes liberals can be D-bags too.

He takes offense to your offense. It's almost his bedtime.

So it's these dipshits that the State of Idaho has entrusted to ensmartening their population?

Lots of things made a lot of sense now.

I've seen the info since I posted although the prime factor does seems to be the 'incel' aspect more than anything else. He went hunting women.

Yes, strictly speaking we do not know the motive for the crime, though the incel angle is a good guess. I was simply replying on the issue of whether he was, in fact, racist or sexist.

This guy, the Pittsburgh shooter and the mail bomber, all avowed bigots. There have been others as well these past 2 weeks, including this apparently foiled school shooting:
