yeah townie why couldn't people keep 100% rational minds in the midst of a terror attack

*shakes head*

So innocent people are now being physically assaulted based on their race and doing something (running), that EVERYBODY else was doing.

funny how you only care about racial profiling, not gender profiling

Where does it say that I don't?

Doesn't matter. It is more worrying that this was an irrational act, suggesting that fear of Arabs is becoming hard wired and not an opinion.

well you only complained about racial profiling

 

[BigBadBader]

This is sad and all but what about the people of Iraq, Syria, Palestine, and Afghanistan?

 

[BigBadBader]

Well Said.

Explosions/drone strikes/horrible shit in general going on in those shitholes is the norm, we hear it constantly to the point nobody bats an eyelid anymore, that isn't the case in the US.

Yeah and you generally only complain about a person being a Muslim or a person being a woman, but we all know you hate both.

So you must have heard that ten days ago the US carried out an air strike that killed 17 civilians (12 were children) ? Did you hear it on the day it happened?

No, but this is an issue relating to mainstream media and what people find important enough to make a thread about, and as such is entirely distinct from the events that occurred in Boston.

It's rare to see random people caring about or getting vocal about the drone strikes any other day of the week, though the little moral high-horse shits don't waste time exploiting the opportunity when attacks like today's occur.
It's inconsiderate, disrespectful and basically a poorly disguised attempt at trolling.

Both the drone strikes and this attack are unquestionably terribly sad, but trying to diminish one tragic event by comparing it to others just comes across as awfully vile and snide.
Bringing up unrelated incidents such as the drone attacks (or starving africans or whatever) isn't helping them at all, it's just confirming how insensitive people can be to the event being discussed.

Nobody knows who carried out these attacks or why they did it, yet people insist on bringing up these other events to give themselves a supposed "moral high-ground" / because they believe themselves to be morally sophisticated, when in fact they are merely showcasing their own distinct lack of empathy.

quite possibly my favourite troll as well

I love pointing out that the entirety of the left and Islam combined complain about whenever a Palestinian breaks a nail if it somehow relates to Jewish people but will not bat an eyelid at Bashar al-Assad using (or gearing up to use) chemical weapons on his own people.

Also excellent post.

the last time most people were actually discussing the drone strikes was after sandy hook to make the exact same point

So you can only bring up drone strikes in relation to the bombings only if you brought them up in previous instances?

 

[Render777]

This event: Meh.

no, but people should stop using drone strikes as a "ugh u are such a sheep to the media I BET U DIDN"T EVEN KNOW THIS WAS HAPPENING"

most neurotypical people have the ability to (shock) sympathise (shock) with more than one!!!!!! tragedy at the same time!

make a new thread if you want to discuss the drone strikes.

I think both are just as bad as each other. I did not try to diminish any tragic event, and I haven't criticised anyone for anything they have said.

I only mentioned it because you said "we hear it constantly", I did not say respect shouldn't be given to victims in Boston. I didn't even bring up the issues in "Iraq, Syria, Palestine, and Afghanistan", that was BigBadBader. I simply questioned how constant you think you hear about such problems in the middle east.

basically all of this

Considering I haven't made one criticism of a user's empathy, I don't think you should be making me out as a "moral high-horse".


And I don't use tumblr.

meh, meh?

Yeah and you generally only complain about a person being a Muslim or a person being a woman, but we all know you hate both.

But I haven't commented on any female muslims lately though so its not applicable.

Also, the irony of calling someone both islamohpobic and misogynistic.
