At least 13 people were injured, five critically in two separate mass shootings at homeless encampments in Minneapolis, Minnesota on Monday. The first shooting took place at East Lake Street and Interstate 35W around 11am local time.
He should be arrested and charged with aiding and abetting a felon and being an accessory to murder.

Providing any encouragement or incitement to commit a crime falls under that definition. By saying they should be killed and that they are dangerous, unwanted, and need to be gotten rid of that means the mass shooters felt they had the go-ahead to do what they did when they heard that statement.
Shit, I stand corrected. My bad.
Thanks, comrade.
The fox news host should be charged with aiding and abetting? Please explain.
Maybe punished for incitement, on the grounds that it was “directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action and is likely to incite or produce such action”? Tough to prove in court but as a bystander I’m frustratingly unsurprised the one thing followed the other.

Just the first few lines explain everything.
Literally inciting violence and murder
And they call us violent. Fuck man.
oh, shooters were probably drag queens.
I see how you got that mixed up, did you mean Grand Dragons?
Sure would be awful if Kilmeade lost his job, got sued into oblivion, and became socially radioactive to the point that nobody would lend him a dime. Let him become what he hates so much for a while and if he makes it through with mind and body more or less intact, perhaps he’ll do better with the rest of his life.
That won’t happen.
Textbook incitement to violence. It only hurt poor people, though, so there will be no consequences.
It’s crazy how republicans are showing they are the actual “snowflakes” and they are actually the pro-censorship party.
Was always the case.
This happened Monday, and this is the first I’ve heard of it.
But, today some cops were shot in PA, and it’s immediately all over the news. There’s a press conference going on now, and everyone is shocked and sad.
I just had this exact same experience.
Tearing each other apart while the billionaires laugh at us.
So trump supporters count as one of us? Seems to me they are an extension of the rich’s will.
…today some cops were shot in PA…
Y U make me hungie
Yes but if all the murder they do causes them to ‘have the best sex of [Their] lives as a perk of the job’ then the orgonne energy released by a pig or pig-fucker dying should make the whole city wet/hard–and for those worried about birth rates, these particular thoughts and prayers should be very useful.
oh, tots and pears
Some? I saw one about a guy who went into work and having seen someone there with a gun before not in uniform and said he decided he was going to shoot him. Last I knew he didn’t even ask for a lawyer, he just brought his gun in, shot him and put it back in the car after apparently then let them arrest him.
Guess I’ll have to go searching for the others
because no one cares when homeless people die. And in fact the fox news guy just said the quiet part out loud of what A LOT of people think.
I do volunteer work outreach work for the homeless and it’s a weekly thing to see homeless people beaten up, attacked in their sleep, etc. This isn’t a new thing.
Women, children, differently gendered and slight of build are raped regularly, in addition to other physical abuse on the streets as well.
so are we supposed to now talk about the fox host and his loving non bigoted rhetoric did not at all help this unfold? (/s)
I think we’re supposed to do something about it.

That’s a great option for something to do about it, yeah! “Just fucking stop”!

i would say “Man, i bet that guy feels like shit now, having incited a mass murder spree” But it’s Faux news we’re talking about… so…
arm the homeless?
How about “shoot the fascists” rather than “arm the (insert someone else other than me)”
Fun fact, it can be both!
Arm the homeless
House the homeless!
Kill two birds with one stone:
And I just noticed something: that’s a white house, and the roof and upper floor has been thoroughly washed in dried blood from impaled jabronies. :(
I was just listening to the Hell House theme a moment ago!
Thanks man this news fuckin sux so thanks
I bet you’ve been just waiting for this moment, to pull that one out, haven’t you?
I was a boy scout and loved The Lion King; I am always prepared.
Prepared for what?
Ill understand if you dont respond.
Everything possible and a few things that are impossible; just in case.
I was thinking more the dialog between Shenzi and Banzai.
That’s a lot more expensive.
But a lot more stable in the long run.
So the cops are just okay with it? You don’t need to arm them?
But I’m a gunsmith, not a carpenter. You don’t want me building houses. However, if you need some tips on making firearms out of things easily lifted from home depo, I’m your man.
“Alright, so get your power drill, and carefully duct tape it to the gun. That way, when you pull the trigger, you got a revolver.”
Are you saying you can’t build a gun big enough to live inside?
Challenge accepted. The HOA is not going to be happy.
I’m not sure giving people on the streets weapons wholesale is the answer when many are there due to illnesses that manifest in violence.
Just so you know, you’re getting downvoted because what you’re saying is wrong and actually contributes to the problem.
Mental Illness and Violence Among People Experiencing Homelessness: An Evidence-Based Review
Please read the full study and it’s sources. It’s so important and negates a large portion of misinformation you’re going to hear. I’ll highlight some points in case some people don’t want to.
The US media is saturated with coverage of perceived threats to public safety by people experiencing homelessness (PEH) with purported “mental illness.” … a content analysis of 6,400 tweets regarding PEH collected over three months showed widespread generalizations that PEH posed a high risk of violence and that homelessness was caused by untreated mental illness.3
About 30% of PEH have a mental health condition.73 The framing of these narratives have been identified as further entrenching the dehumanization of PEH, contributing to oversimplified understandings of PEH and mental illness, and motivating policy interventions that are not evidence-based.4 Physicians’ lack of specific training in working with PEH can create additional barriers to accessing care,5 especially since PEH may perceive negative attitudes in their physicians,6 exacerbating feelings of alienation.7 Stigma is pervasive,8 and that experience is often compounded by PEH’s past negative experiences with medical care and ongoing structural barriers to engagement
There’s many more passages that are relevant and have way too much info for me to copy/paste here, like:
- Mental Illness and Addiction Can Be One of Many Precipitants of Homelessness and Should Not Be Seen as the Underlying Cause
- Homelessness and Mental Illness Are Not Driving Surges in Violent Crime
- Permanent Supportive Housing is Cost-Effective and Associated with Better Outcomes for PEH
- Putting People Away Without Essential Care and Basic Needs
- Learning “From the Misses” Does Not Breed Compassion
Again, you’re going to be reading, watching, and discussing homelessness in media for the rest of your life. It’s only going to take you 20 minutes to get real facts about the debates and form an evidence based opinion on the matter. Or just disregard and continue watching/reading misinformation to form your thoughts for you.
I’m aware not all are. It’s funny though that suddenly people who are against reasonable bg checks suddenly aren’t.
I wouldn’t take a few hyperbolic statements made on Lemmy as an opportunity to perpetuate common misunderstandings though. I assure you anyone wanting to focus on arming instead of housing any homeless are just accelerationists and not wanting an actual solution.
FFS Republicans. You own this 100%
Members of the fascist party could not be reached for comment, but their neighbors did report noise complaints, from the volume of masturbation.
They dont ever own shit
Well, sometimes they own other people
They just break other people’s shit and then the Enlightened Centrists (and not a few deluded leftists) whine when the responsible adults (Democrats) don’t fix it fast enough.
Because they never pay. They just keep getting free passes.
The problem is that they’re happy to own it.
So how do we stop them? Law’s not gonna do shit, but fox news did incite multiple mass murders here. What kind of consequences can be applied?
[ Removed by Reddit ] is the only idea that comes to mind, alas.
So, like, anything between a gently worded letter that never quite asks explicitly but strongly implies what you’d like and full on accellerationist posadism?
The only downside to a strike is not enough people striking.
So, a ‘strike’ has come to mean ‘work stoppage’
And historically that has been the most mild of its possible meanings.
Sabotage of machinery and doing work as normal but dividing the product up among workers or giving it out for free, lying to suppliers, and all sorts of more aggressive tactics have traditionally been included in what that word meant. A lot of that doesn’t take a lot of people.
Yes. Also back in the day there was no fast food or Starbucks. No Amazon. No Walmart.
The Machine has changed.
Congress won’t shut it down. The workers can shut it down. If we want to fix the machine we have to shut it down and fix the Republican sabotage first.
Protests warn people there is a problem. Protests can be ignored. People not getting their fast food can’t be ignored. Daily inconvenience can’t be ignored.
Just look at all the panic work from home caused or when road transport of goods was slowed down.
Rich people pay attention to their money and the average person will pay attention when they can’t get a cheese burger or latte.
Remember what happened when Trump forced China to hit the off button on rare earth metals that are required to keep modern society above complete and sudden collapse?

Do you play jazz? I’m trying to write a slanderous samba but so far my drums track is so basic (I always wanted to play but never got the chance to learn so right now it’s just a basic samba rhythm, no embellishment)
I can barely manage plucked strings. Drums are so much more athletic than i could ever.
Not saying Fox studios should be burned to the ground, but It would be a shame if it didn’t happen.
Palestine Action taught us that destroying corporate property is an extremely effective form of protest.

How about putting Fox on the list of defendants when this goes to court?
It’s the homeless, who’s going to fight for them

They were quoting the Republican party at CPAC iirc, though your interpretation is also accurate. I guess a couple specific flavors of centrist are the only non-terrorists left in the country.
