Unfortunately the spin cycle has anyone, including a lot of HN, believing that all militia members are the most violent and evil people living in the world.
Ironic given I reserve that title for ISIS who seems to have just recently radicalized another person to run over a bunch of people in New Orleans.
I have no particular love for these militias, but I’m not ignorant enough to believe the stuff media goes about parroting.
> all militia members are the most violent and evil people living in the world.
That's a strawperson. It doesn't have to be all. Groups that call themselves 'militias', arm and train themselves, plan violence, and sometimes perpetuate it. It's reasonable for the public to be concerned about them.
We'll never agree on this because I'm sure you disagree with the premise that American media spins American militias to be far worse than they actually are.
If that's true, your accusation makes sense.
What an interesting way to talk to someone, especially someone you don't know: Tell them what they think and denounce it.
You don't even need the other person; you can have these conversations by yourself. Or if you need to feel like you're socializing with someone, just tell me what to post and I'll post it for you.
Here: 'I disagree with the premise that American media spins American militias to be far worse than they actually are.' Now you can respond!

ISIS is a militia, you're not making any sense.
Since when was ISIS an American militia? It seems you didn't read the post. My comment makes perfect sense in the context of the article.
> Since when was ISIS an American militia?
Luckily that was never asserted.
