I watched the Howard Stern show for 9/11 and 9/12 a couple months ago an it was the most raw view into human nature I have ever seen. Stern went from joking and laughing about Pamela Anderson to unironically supporting genocide
He basically said we need to go over there kill women children the elderly, drop a nuclear bomb, remove seven middle eastern dictators immediately, I know its a shock jock comedy show but after the second plane hit I really don't think anyone was joking.
He stopped short of endorsing vigilante attacks on arabs because "thats what the terrorists want". On the one hand you sympathize with the rage of Stern because he is coming to terms with the fact that likely many ppl he knows have just been killed.
But a dark part of you wonders to what extent similar atrocities drove the attack in the first place.

1/ Thread about how what happened in Charlottesville was probably not an intentional attack. I know this was common knowledge on rw twitter a while ago but the Charlottesville civil trial is happening soon so thought I would remind everyone. This is not meant to glorify JAF.
2/ To set the scene, Fields was forced to turn left onto a one way road, that is blocked by two cars. He backs up before eventually driving forward into the crowd killing Heather Heyer. Many people dubbed this a terrorist attack, but there are many facts the put that in doubt.
3/ First of all he wasn't going very fast. According to Wikipedia, "The speed was estimated between 23–28 miles per hour" If he was planning to kill people, he would probably be going faster than a speed at which someone who was struck was likely to survive.

1/ Now that there will likely be a massive debate about Afghan immigration to the west in the next couple of weeks and months, I wanted to share some stats. Spread these around when debating people about this subject:
2/ According to the ACS, Afghan Americans have one of the lowest group median incomes in the country. Image
3/ This study from 2015, shows a slightly better picture, but they still have a considerably higher poverty rate, are considerably more likely to be on food stamps: wider.unu.edu/sites/default/… Image
