>“You sick motherfs, you’re all gonna burn. There’s a group of people on their way to handle [victim]. You signed your own warrant, [victim]. Castrating our children. You’ve woken up enough people. And upset enough of us. And you signed your own ticket. Sleep well, you f****, c***,” Lindner allegedly said in the voicemail, according to U.S. Attorney Rachael Rollins’s office.

This is what media is doing to dim-witted boomers. Turning them into terrorists.

>Lindner was charged with interstate transmission of threatening communication, which can lead to a sentence of up to five years in prison, up to three years of supervised release, and a fine of up to $250,000, officials said.

Most intelligent Texan

It's really brutal how these issues have been so misrepresented, and how they've become 100% self fulfilling in so many people's minds. No matter what you say to this guy to try to convince him otherwise, he will be absolutely, completely convinced that the evil drag queens are out there actively indoctrinating toddlers to be trans and just straight up chop their dicks off at like 5 years old or whatever. Facts be damned.

Meanwhile they'll have no problem sending their children to an organization full of pedos, the church.

It’s incredible how residents of this state are focused on shit like this when they are failing at basic public commons, utilities, social services, etc.

“Don’t mess with Texas. Unless you’re Texas. Then just mess with everything”

The mind boggles.

I've been to Comfort, Texas. This sounds about right.

>Matthew Jordan Lindner, 38, of Comfort, Texas was arrested on Dec. 2

38 is a boomer now?

Not justifying his actions at all but laying this on the boomers is patently false... the fucker was 38.

Do other boomers think like this? Yes.. of course, but let's keep the narrative reality based OK?

My biases are showing

lmao

For anyone with a passing curiosity, they're a millennial.

'Boomer' is a state of mind.

Also, when our federal taxes keep their damn state functioning.

Red states are the true welfare queens.

[deleted]

Not only that, but they haven't drawn universal condemnation from the right, despite repeatedly threatening violence. That goes beyond any politics of how you feel on these issues, the silence emboldens people to act on the rhetoric they're spreading. It's tacit support of terrorism.

Oh my friend how you are mistaken. Being a boomer isn't about your age.

Being a boomer is about not knowing if you should use "your" or "you're", typing in all caps locks, blaming today's problems on the younger generations, bragging about buying a house "back in their day" on a janitor's salary (no disrespect to janitors), and believing you are superior to other generations simply because you're older.

Some, I assume, are good people.

Texas’ attorney general recently requested to have data on every trans-identifying Texan given to him. Wannabe fascists really have nothing better to do.

[deleted]

Even if you have a problem with transgender medical care, do you really have ENOUGH of a problem with it to disrupt lifesaving services at a rare disease hospital for children?

He needs to stay in his shithole state.

Treating any generation as a monolith is fucking pants on head stupid...but using boomer in this context may in fact be a little dumber than that.

It wreaks of lashing out, and sadly dismisses an entire generation....

...but that won't happen to your generation though, it will be remembered only for the good parts and you won't be blamed for all of the current failures at all.

same as it ever was I guess.

We should all join TNM - the Texas nationalist movement. Texan independence or "Texit" as they're so cleverly calling it would be good for nearly all of us. About the one thing that would guarantee to actually Make America Great Again would be the removal of Texas.

Maybe they'd like to become part of Mexico!

No, he's a millennial.

Source: I'm the same age and a millennial. An easy way to remember is the age range is Chris Evans to Tom Holland lol

Okay Boomer

I feel that. I think diminishing the power of the country isn’t worth it, and that would be letting the idiocracy win.

Yeah, I mostly agree, and was only half kidding with the TNM stuff. Maybe a little less than half.

Then they’d have to take the border wall down.

Or move it, I guess.

I like how we’re focused on treating the symptoms (propagandized gullible people driven to action by wildly inaccurate propaganda) instead of the cause (the wildly inaccurate propaganda).

No. Boomer is a name for a specific generation of people, it's not the same as calling someone a Karen. We already have names for people like this: domestic terrorists and bigots

From Boston Children's Hospital:

>The center currently offers vaginoplasty, metoidioplasty, phalloplasty, chest reconstruction, breast augmentation, facial harmonization and other gender affirmation surgeries to eligible patients. We are guided by the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) standards and other criteria to surgically treat people who are stable in their gender identity and have documentation of persistent gender dysphoria. You do not need to be a GeMS patient to have surgery at the center. All genital surgeries are only performed on patients age 18 and older.

So to set the record straight, these are adults deciding to "castrate" themselves. The party of personal freedom, liberty, and "don't tread on me" is awfully interested in the genitals of adults (who they claim are children, making it a bit weird). If someone can go to Texas at age 18 and buy an AR-15 without a license, they should be able to come to Massachusetts and get their own vagina or penis if they want one. I doubt Texas man has ever been to MA.

If anyone is doing harm to children, it is the Texas police who made up numerous stories to explain why they didn't have the courage to shoot Salvador Ramos. No to trans health, yes to letting kids bleed out in school. Make it make sense.

The specific name for that generation is "baby boomer"

Yes, I believe they do. These scumbags want to violently disrupt American society to enforce their own political worldview. That's called domestic terrorism.

Does anyone know if there is an update on the woman in MA who was identified or charged for another of the threats? I remember her being identified but I don't remember what happened after that.

With all the oil + gas fields in TX, it'd give the US enough incentive to send in armed forces to "introduce democracy".

Obligatory information: Texas Atty General was indicted 7 years ago on a felony charge of securities fraud. He literally ran away from a subpoena a few weeks ago.

Clearly this man has a deep respect and understanding of the law.

I have always found that slogan ironic since their most well-known historical event is a battle they lost. Like I get it riled them up and a month later they were back to it, but, c'mon, its funny.

The cartels would overrun it.

Nothing new that I heard of about that woman from Westfield.

THIS. The north subsidizes the south. We are consistently net tax givers.

no doubt Texas wants to take children of LGBTQ+ couples away from them .

It's not to surprising considering that this backwards state once fought people in court that challenged Texas's ability to use captial punishment against people found guilty of crimes , but proven to have in a court of law, to have been Mentally ill.

As well as the state that defended Sodeny Laws all the way up to SCOTUS which resulted in the Lawrence v Texas ruling banning such laws

So you endorse terrorist style threats?

They'll go bankrupt the moment they get hit with another major Hurricane.

As conservatives love telling us, "if you don't like it, leave."

Having bounced around the USA a bit (thank you, husband's 20 year Naval career), lemme assure you - the difference between living in Red states and Blue states are PROFOUND.

Red State America is like living in third world countries. So much pride, so little substance. So much crime, even though everyone is wearing a gun and no one tries to be polite, because it's their God-given right to be intolerant, racist, sexist, homophobic, anti-Semitic and living through conspiracy theories as they careen from one Trump lie to another as they compete to spend the least on public education.

Blue State America is like living in a wannabe Europe. Everyone bitches about taxes, laws, zoning and building codes, yet folks are polite and help each other and introduce themselves to the new neighbors on the block. Art, music, theatre and more surrounds you and it's not required to be religious to do so. And while all the regular ills of American life are still there, shit isn't falling down as much as in Red State America. Except Pennsylvania. WTF, man?

Yup.

To be fair that sub covered this story when the terrorist was arrested; their comments don’t look much different than ours.

Besides, we should get rid of Florida first

[deleted]

Slogan actually comes from a campaign to reduce litter in the state

Thanks for the insight, I've never been out of Mass so I wouldn't know, interesting to hear! Surprised about Pennsylvania though, what makes them the exception?

[deleted]

Your the ones making this a problem, leave us alone

"I will shoot up the hospital where your kid's having surgery because someone there counsels trans people. Also, no abortion, because life is sacred."

Sweet.

Yes, the right plays to win. Sadly the Democrats seem to consider themselves above any behaviors that might be interpreted as wanting to really fight for anything.

no I'm laughing at the guy who got arrested. are ppl this dense lmao

Nah you were being rather vague

nah y'all dense

Whatever kid

We need another civil war fuck the south

If you attack enough trans people, maybe everyone will forget that your electric grid is held together with duct tape.

[deleted]

You’re right they should just admit that the south is shit and relinquish all controls to the vastly superior and smarter northerners without any bloodshed.

[deleted]

We need to build a New England border wall and make NY pay for it

I’m just joking obviously my comments were sparked by the comments that “the south is the welfare state” and everyone is rah rahing

And their electrical grid would go down. Again.

Don’t forget the country club conservatives calling themselves democrats up here voting for Republican governors because the stagnation protects their generational wealth

So well balanced and middle of the road right? 🥴 lol you’re literally all fucking idiots

Whatever kid

Conservatives aka American Taliban need to be left out of everyone’s lives

Don’t be friends or acquaintances with these pieces of shit, just use them and consider them to be your enemy

[deleted]

They also produce a lot of the food

[deleted]

Good luck with your contratianism lol

Ok true but there are less people and less “carbon emissions” as well by probably a large margin.

[deleted]

The only thing that matters is climate change. If the north would stop polluting so much I’d appreciate it very much!!!

[deleted]

Thank you

Why do these conservatives get enraged about children that aren't even theirs? Why is he referring to them as "our children"? They aren't his!
