re: MB's and Sammy's posts above:
That country is tearing itself apart.
If you add up,in no particular order, all the nutters who belong to one or more of these groups -
White Supremacists
Moonies
Scientologists
Survivalists
MAGA
people who actually believe that Trump cares about them as people rather than as cash cows
- what percentage of the population is that,i wonder?
The Moonies are back?
Probably the scariest group of them all are the Evangelical Christians. Killing in the name of love.
Speaking of white supremacists, a few hundred of them marched on the Capitol Building last night with very little opposition. The anniversary of Jan 6 might end up being another dark day.

Purely a guess but I'd say around 35% of white Americans.
A few of Hispanic (mainly Cuban) & a few Asian (mainly Pinoy) but it's white American driven. They want America to be like an episode of Happy Days which it wasn't it reality for most people.
Bloody hell. Down in Texas a 33 year old man drives his 14 year old son to a petrol station/convenience store so the kid could shoot & kill two other teens who he had some issues with.
Son strolls in, shirtless but wearing a covid mask, & fires off a volley of shots killing the two kids as well as another teen who was just in the shop buying some tacos for his family.
Dad then drives the getaway car.
Father has been arrested but son still on the run.

remember now this is the state where a teenge girls mum put out a contract on another cheerleader's mum so her daughter could make the team.
No chance of America ever fixing this, Shabs.
Let's face it, if we had the same gun controls in the UK, we'd be seeing the same sort of massacres here, most likely.

Why do people contnue to us to do this, when they'll only, eventually end upon Death Row ? Are they thick, or something?
They grew up in a country which managed to convince them that the Cowboys were the good guys! If you 'believe' in what you are doing, you can justify anything. Too much ego, not enough humility.
As Billy Connolly once said - 'There are too many guns in America, and not enough punches in the nose'.

I don't about that. It seemed to me in my many visits to the States, there were lots of American bloke's with a boxers nose. Maybe you have something and this might explain it, they resort to firing guns instead
Any chance those that made the decision to free him will be made to answer for their actions, or is it like over here where there's no accountability for these people?

I don't know. Some of these positions are voted in and some are picked from within.
