Not to encourage yet another massacre, but... actually yeah. Someone get one of these dumbfuck shooters into one of these murder conventions.
Re: Truthiness! (Onion, Clickhole, etc.)
Depending on reports, 60-80% of mass shooters are misogynists who start with domestic violence, aka Republicans, so it's unlikely that they'd be shooting their own.

So you're saying we have a 20% chance? :V

How fleeting are all human passions compared with the massive continuity of ducks.

Re: Truthiness! (Onion, Clickhole, etc.)
Is there a reference or deeper meaning here I'm missing, like a specific case recently where he did exactly that (I did a search, didn't see anything that was an obvious match, though I'm sure his "medical advice" HAS killed people at some point)?
Or is this just what it says on the tin?

Re: Truthiness! (Onion, Clickhole, etc.)
It's probably less that he gave someone direct medical advice that killed them and more that his show has been a home for grifters and quacks who "medical" solutions do kill people, either because they're dangerous or because they were used in lieu of an actual treatment

Yeah, like a generalized "This asshole gets people killed" has been true of Oz for years, I was more curious if the guy saying "oh my god" was because something recent had come up that made the Onion look prescient or even more cutting (which we know is certainly a thing).
