  1. Let the accused off. Give him a coupon for a better scope for hunting deer, and be done with it. After all, that’s the Republican way.

  2. Ug. I can’t believe the US has reached (or gone back) to the point where ‘attorney is this-race/immigrant’ is actually news because of the current hateful bigotry being spread…. by a candidate for president….

    I hate this timeline. Please vote in November to start moving country forward again.

  3. Florida has over 500k Haitians this shouldn’t be news; but because this jingoistic country can’t stop crying about non-white people existing, it is.

  4. This is how racist shit gets spread: the paper knows that a US attorney isn’t going to be swayed by an irrelevancy.

  5. This could end bad for him. The assain is not much more than a guy walking around Florida with a gun. Building a case should be fun to watch.

  6. He didn’t even shoot his firearm. It’ll be interesting to see the assault rifle enthusiasts contort their way out of this one.

    That dead cat trump dumped on stage is it only because he bombed so hard during the debate or is there more?

  8. This shouldn’t be newsworthy. We have a lot of work to do to dismantle racism in our country. We should be educating our children better, and finding ways to reduce misinformation. A Harris victory will probably go a decent way, if anything slow down the parts of Project 2025 that want to destroy the truth of our bloodstained past. But I imagine this problem stems beyond the ballot box. The fact that a former president and his VP pick can get away with using an antisemetic dog whistle toward people of color in the year of our lord 2024 is disgraceful. Moreso that a third-rate far-right wing commentator can put up a theatrical “””documentary””” about asking if he’s racist, our country is far more broken than the average normie sees. We need to fix this. I’m just a dumb white boy, so idk where to start.

    That being said, I snorted a little at the irony. Not sure what that says about me, but I hope that this goes bad for Trump either way.

    Th US Attorney’s race has nothing to do with this but I do want to know what he’s having for lunch.

  10. This timeline has truly jumped the shark…. somebody has to hit the reboot button soon, cause we’re all ready to tune out of this show.

  11. I saw Arcade Fire last night and he yelled Haitians dont eat cats and dogs! and that Trump is a racist. Loved it.

    Weird thing about this country. Generations and generations of immigrants built it and continue to build it.

  13. Would-Be Assassin? What crime did he commit? Littering? Insane man with a gun sits in a bush is just a slow Tuesday in Florida.

  14. Now if any attorney has cause to pull a Cannon, he is a contestant.

    But my guess is he will not be such a lowlife.

  15. Man, remember when it was transgender folks that were the big bad? And then we have that moment in the debate and suddenly it’s Haitians overnight?

    It’s just wild to me that this guy has *one* incoherent meltdown about eating cats and dogs, and now all of a sudden every single member of his base has redirected all of that energy toward Haitian people for the simple reason that they are married to the nonsense he rambles, no matter what, at all costs.

    Like, I just don’t understand how these people don’t get whiplash.

  16. I’m sure MAGA and some radical conservatives are not happy about him being Haitian because they think he won’t do a good. They don’t think black people are qualified because they think they got their education and jobs because of Affirmative Action and DEI. I’m sure they are losing their minds on X and that other place I refuse to go, Truth Social.
