I’m working on a post on the recent flood of mass shootings. My first thoughts as always are of the victims and their loved ones; I personally wish we would let the bodies cool before politicizing these tragedies.<\/p>\n
David Niewert gets “pride” of place<\/a> for tying the Pittsburgh ambush that killed three police officers to gun-rights advocates and those who oppose Obama; I guess we can tie the Oakland police murders to black nationalism and gangster rap with equal honesty (hint: both claims are deeply dishonest, misleading, and morally devalue the person who makes them).<\/p>\n Again, disgusting, dishonest claims – made to score political points in the most sensational ways possible.<\/p>\n To get a good sense of my response, check out all these posts<\/a>, and specifically this one<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Armed Liberal’s writings on mass killings – and a back of the hand to David Niewert, for unfairly trying to score political points while the bodies are still warm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/marcdanziger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2041"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/marcdanziger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/marcdanziger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/marcdanziger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/marcdanziger.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2041"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/marcdanziger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2041\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/marcdanziger.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2041"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/marcdanziger.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2041"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/marcdanziger.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2041"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
