  • Yeah I thought about the same.

    I think the another state part was partially covering up what he actually meant with the ‘us’ before it. The way he phrased it ‘us’ could mean either he was hoping the shooter wasn’t a conservative or that it was an out of country/state citizen who was not his problem. I think he meant the conservative interpretation and added the out of state part as a rhetorical tactic to disguise or professionalize his real intent.

    relevant quote for reference: “For 33 hours, I was … I was praying that if this had to happen here, that it wouldn’t be one of us. That somebody drove from another state, somebody came from another country,” he said. “Sadly, that prayer was not answered the way I hoped for. Just because I thought it would make it easier on us if we could just say ‘Hey, we don’t do that here.’”






  • Sorry, I didn’t mean to strike a nerve. Also sorry to hear you and your spouse have some difficulties with mental and physical challenges in today’s world. I hope you can find some understanding people to cooperate with.

    Intent deducing should also go both ways, I did interpret your posts in a somewhat light-hearted manner in line with the comm vibe, but it also just doesn’'t sit right with me using real disorders people have as an insult. I replied in it in the same format as you did but you seemed took offense when I did it even though you used the same format in your comment.

    Anyway, I wish you good luck in your journey and thanks for reading.
