Today's Mass Shooting Threat

[Thermal]

This is fine, but what's with the race angle then? The snarky "strawmanning" post you're complaining about didn't mention or allude to racism.

Since the low bar was set for stupid posting (which you say is fine), I ran with it, and took it to the next level of stupidity. Why not? And yes, I could say with certainty that one low watt bulb or another would eventually lob that one. It's happened before, and I think you know it.

You hadn't even posted here yet. Obviously the person above that you're complaining about,...

You keep repeating 'complaining'. I'm not complaining; I think it's funny, and a little fascinating. But keep subtly reframing it, bro.

...expected you to not find this story credible, because of your reaction to similar cases...

There's that reframing again. The others are not similar. No guns, for a big start. No lists of kids' names. No hand-drawn map of the school. No direct threats to shoot specific students and staff. This one is quite different, from a reported evidence standpoint.

...You really think that if you surprise everyone by agreeing with the room on this one and finding this threat credible, the others - who also, themselves, find the threat credible - are going to complain that you agree with them because you're racist? That's...bizarre.

Try reading it again.

Fair, my bad.

No, that's being nitpicky. The others are entirely similar inasmuch as they all belong to the set of "threats by students to shoot up their schools". The only difference is how credible the threat is in each case.
