Nebraska Democratic Party official won't resign after calling reactions to shooting at GOP baseball practice 'so funny'

2017-06-18

A Nebraska Democratic Party official has refused calls to resign her volunteer position after calling reactions to this week’s shooting of a high-ranking Republican member of Congress "so funny" on social media.

Chelsey Gentry-Tipton of Omaha said in statement that she will not resign as chairwoman of the party’s Black Caucus, saying her post was taken out of context by party officials.

The Nebraska party’s leadership asked Gentry-Tipton to step down Wednesday, several hours after she wrote, in a Facebook thread about the shooting at in Alexandria, Virginia, "Watching the congressman crying on live tv abt the trauma they experienced. Y is this so funny tho?"

Later, in the same thread, she stated, "The very people that push pro NRA legislation in efforts to pad their pockets with complete disregard for human life. Yeah, having a hard time feeling bad for them."
Continues.

#8 As an 11B I will say the A-10 is about the perfect CAS plane and idiotic attempts to kill it without having something better to replace it will lead to a lot of body bags getting filled.

#6 Are you implying that devotion to the wonderful and glorious killer of vermin, the A-10 is an irrational devotion? I'm thinking there's some 11 bravo's with crowbars that want to have a word with you.

Now, if they make an actual dedicated plane as a replacement, it's acceptable. An F-35 is NOT a decent replacement.

#4 People who hate guns are easy to understand. Their minds are made up and can't be changed by any exposure to reason. A-10 aficionados and F-35 critics are prime examples, for those trying to find a way to understand the mindset of otherwise incomprehensible others.

#3 “I don’t believe that you or anyone else is the arbiter of my words, voice or compassion for the black community.”

Exactly correct. Your "words" provide a self-arbitrating condemnation.

#2 IMO, the Left's mental balance never recovered from the fall of the Soviet Union. Of course, the fact that the rest of us tried to be civilized - instead of treating them as dangerous animals, was a contributing factor.

#1 In my opinion we are in the midst of a shared psychotic disorder. The media is fanning the flames of this disorder. Simple exposure is and especially frequent access to this barrage of media is in my opinion the prime culprit. The media supports the information the unbalanced mind is willing to accept. Perhaps this is why efforts to enlighten the corrupted mind fail. It is my understanding a psychotic disorder is supposed to be temporary but with unbalanced media input prolongs the psychotic event. I see day to day people walk about really on edge. Drugs needed not needed , withdrawals, many side effects and especially disorientation. The drug crisis seems to bring with it a nearly permanent psychotic break with at least an obvious mood disorder. With the current media mind games comes the increased deviations from the traditional norms. These people will go "postal" if prodded to do so. I dread Halloween. Real Zombies among the living.
