Rob Rogers for June 22, 2022

What scares me is that those three categories exist in such numbers that you can do statistics on ’em.

Speaking of statistics, here’s an interesting phrase that I just recently learned about: “Stochastic terrorism is inciting violence through rhetoric, but not explicitly. Instead, stochastic terrorism foments violence with implicit calls to arms and dog whistles, knowing that someone in the audience will eventually execute the implicit call. So the violence is ‘statistically predictable but individually unpredictable’, and, importantly, the speaker can plausibly deny any connection to the bloodshed.” —Rachel Laser, head of Americans United for Separation of Church and State

And virtually all of the shooters and Insurrectionists are Males.

^ Don’t feed the troll. Just report it.

Been pointing that fact out for a while; please GoComics, don’t ban this comment.

Virtue signal much, Rob?

Let’s see the various trolls show us the proven statistics that might dispute these numbers…I’ll wait.

As soon as 2150 all people will be brown. Then will it be self hate?

Scares me too.. those guys are gonna want revenge.

The statistics I’m most interested in is not what percentage of either murders or mass shootings are committed by white vs. black people but rather what percentage of the world’s mass shootings occur in the USA, with its 4% of the world’s population. Does anyone know?

That 54% seems way too low. The actual figure is much higher.

Don’t bother the GQP with facts, they’ve made up what passes for their minds.

You can understand the fear. It doesn’t mean you have to tolerate the behavior.

White grievance, based on perceived threats to White supremacy, is the central theme in all of this.

Black and brown folks wouldn’t have been able to riot that day, even if they’d wanted to. Unlike these rioters, they have jobs to go to.

Rob yells Squirrel!

Only 93%? Really? Well, is Mr Rogers not counting people like Mr Tarrio as “white?”

Trump administration’s relationship with Proud Boys ‘will be the subject’ of future J6 Committee hearings

Future House Select Committee hearings are going to detail the Trump administration’s relationship with the far-right Proud Boys gang, according to a new filing by the United States Department of Justice.

As flagged by CBS News’ Scott MacFarlane, the DOJ argued in a recent court filing that there should be a delay in the trial of several Proud Boys who have been accused of seditious conspiracy for their roles in inciting the January 6th Capitol riots.

The reason for the delay is that the DOJ wants access to full transcripts from the House Select Committee, which it says are essential evidence to both the government’s case and the Proud Boys’ defense.

What’s more, the DOJ specifically says that “the relationship between the Trump Administration and the Proud Boys and other groups will be the subject of a future hearing” from the January 6th Committee.

The DOJ has gathered evidence that the Proud Boys played a central role in inciting the Capitol riots, and they’ve been among the very few January 6th defendants who have been hit with the very serious charge of seditious conspiracy.

Looks like the Shameful Men are going down in history as traitors. No wonder Mr Gun Fetish likes them.

The Kids Are Alt – Right, Bad Religion

Jackboots cracking on a polished floor

Red hats gathered in the liquor store

Pure hearts race on a crystal night

Everybody, grab a torch to light

Everybody, need somebody, join the party

The kids are Alt-Right today

Now grab your partner and do-si-do

Populism is a sold-out show

Humanity is a nowhere scene

When everybody has an AR-15

Everybody, need somebody, join the party

The kids are Alt-Right today

Republiguns attract the crazies, the vicious and the paranoids.

I won’t mention how there are way too many Team Crazy, white, right-wing populists commenting on this site. I don’t want GoComics to shut me down.

Time says: “952 deaths from mass murders since 1982” 54%= 514 deaths by white murderers. I dare you to look at black on black murder numbers since 1982 and tell me there isn’t a bigger problem that needs to be addressed.

So if I understand correctly, whites are 59% of the US population, yet only 54% of mass shooters?
