    How is this not bigger news!

    I have to listen to weeks about some random podcaster getting shot, but a judge whose made judgements against trump has their house burned down and everyone is all quite?

        MAGAs always start blaming Libz immediately, we can do the same thing. The thing is, we’re probably going to be right, it’s almost ALWAYS a right-wing whacko.

            But 100% of arson causes fire damage. It’s not like a car, where there’s a purpose other than fire damage.

            We should outlaw arson.

              Right now no one has any evidence of wrongdoing. The most likely cause if fires is accidents.

              While it is possible this was arson we have no reason to assume it is right now.

        Shhhh with your logical thinking, we need to jump to conclusions and start blaming each other before learning any facts.

          I understand what you mean, but my criticism is with the news/reporting.

          Weve had multiple democratic politicians be attacked and murdered whose whole time in the spotlight doesn’t cover the media attention that Kirk got.

          Hell, we still don’t really know why Kirk was shot.

          In this political climate, a judge’s house going up in flames should be a huge story. Sure it could end up being nothing, but so did the story with Kirk.

          This is like the guy who shot up the LDS church last week. Everyone is claiming political violence when it turned out he hates Mormons.

      To be fair, Kirk’s murder was graphic and in a public event. He was a pretty-well known figure, whereas most people don’t know who this specific judge is. The arson didn’t happen in a packed crowd in broad daylight.

      This probably should be bigger news, but is makes sense why it isn’t as widely talked about
