St. Louis Store Asks Whether New Zealand Mosque Shooting Was Tragic or 'Fucking Great'

Source: River Front Times



Posted By Danny Wicentowski on Mon, Mar 18, 2019 at 12:51 pm

Determinedly edgy local gun-supply store Tactical Shit took a break this weekend from promoting its St. Patrick's Day sale to ask its Facebook followers their opinion of Friday's massacre of Muslims in New Zealand: Was the incident a tragedy, the poll asked, or was it "fucking great?"

The Facebook poll, which appears to have been deleted between Saturday evening and Sunday, drew thousands of votes and hundreds of comments. According to a screenshot, fifteen percent of respondents viewed the killing of 49 innocent people as a cause for celebration.

"How do you 'feel' about the NZ Shooting?" the query began. "This poll is because in our posts and news stories, our shitheads seem pretty divided."

The store, which is based in suburban St. Peters, seemed to be aware that it was basically inviting the bigots in its audience to step forward.

They have a moral compass. Liberal Veteran Mar 2019 #16
but one side of the compass is inherently pointing to the dark side. Is that where they lie? Evolve Dammit Mar 2019 #18
Maybe they do, they just choose not to use it. Initech Mar 2019 #17

It's just that the markings on theirs are askew.

They don't seem to understand that what they preach is no better than what they think their enemies preach.

They are the people who were warned by Nietzsche "He who fights with monsters should be careful lest he thereby becomes a monster. And if thou gaze long into an abyss, the abyss will also gaze into thee."

Cheetolini and friends are doing everything but wearing jackboots these days to emulate their Nazi heros from the 30's and 40's.

...and hidden behind the white hoods of the KKK, instead of people thinking that it is morally acceptable to broadcast their hatred in broad daylight.

I'm not in the least surprised by this trash. Much of our country has become nothing but a stinking cesspool. Land of the bigots.

When someone takes joy in the death of innocent people there is something seriously wrong with that person.

It makes me ill just thinking about it.
