He held an innocent man basically hostage with a shotgun. Folks love making excuses to handwave racism and now are shocked that Fetterman is what he is now.

If only there was this much sympathy for the man he pulled a gun on.

Remember when the dude forgave him and endorsed him? No? That doesn’t fit your narrative, does it?

excuses

Not a single person have made an excuse for Fetterman...

I've given a possible explanation, and a rather detailed one at that.

Because this is something that's important to understand.

And for some reason, that's made you belligerent and you've went from agreeing with me to accusing me of defending racism.

This has happened before more than a couple times you know?

Seriously, you agree with me but then as I get deeper than

Bad thing is bad and not good

You just do this and start accusing me of endorsing something for explaining the"why" it happened.

If people stop where you are, we can't prevent anything, the problem never changes, and it just splits us into two "teams" who tell at each other on the Internet.

Your strategy will never help anything.

But to be honest, this is at least the fifth time and I never see any improvement...

I'm probably going to have to give up on you soon champ.

Your hearts in the right place, just don't know where your heads at
