Top Ten differences between White Terrorists and Others

[gollygee]

I pasted the last 4 rather than the first 4 because #10 was the one I was most struck by.

7. White terrorists are never called “white.” But other terrorists are given ethnic affiliations.

8. Nobody thinks white terrorists are typical of white people. But other terrorists are considered paragons of their societies.

9. White terrorists are alcoholics, addicts or mentally ill. Other terrorists are apparently clean-living and perfectly sane.

10. There is nothing you can do about white terrorists. Gun control won’t stop them. No policy you could make, no government program, could possibly have an impact on them. But hundreds of billions of dollars must be spent on police and on the Department of Defense, and on TSA, which must virtually strip search 60 million people a year, to deal with other terrorists.

3. 8. Nobody thinks white terrorists are typical of white people. But other terrorists are considered

paragons of their societies.

4. The Ku Klux Klan ought to be on the top of the terrorist group list. Do we even know how many

innocent people they have murdered?

5. I think by now everyone knows the TSA is a joke.

Leave my damn shoes alone when I want to go visit the in-laws you friggen fascists.

6. Totally

knocked it out of the park on this, and #10 is particularly relevant.
