Maybe because everyone can see how you are trying misdirection and taking issue with the wording of the headline instead of the arson of a refugee center. My response to hearing that someone burned down a building full of refugees is not "well really it is the government's fault also they aren't telling the arsonist's side of things".

Governments are as a general rule incompetent, that isn't an excuse for fucking arson

I'm not defending the arsonists, the right wing bullshit I'm providing more information about this to explain why this has happened.

It also wasn't full or even occupied, maybe you could do with more information.

You aren't blaming them either. Your rant was pretty clear who was responsible.

[–] Squizzy 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

They are to blame you moron, I'm giving additional information do you want me to rethread the same information also?

You the one who is spouting clear bullshit here.

Context isn't a rant, I realise that you might think it because you seemingly only want to be told your view is perfect as it is.

Yes I am a moron for calling out someone apologizing for bigots who committed arson on a refugee center. So how did you commit the arson anyway or are you more of a watcher vs a do-er?

[–] Squizzy -1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Yes I am a moron.

Finally we can agree on something, I appreciate your efforts in trying to read what I wrote.

You accuse someone of misdirection and then outright lie yourself. Noone burned down a building full of refugees.

[–] Squizzy 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

They don't want more information.

I kinda do and kinda don't. I am curious what things went wrong in a person's life that thinks a solution to people of a different race, who are also refugees, being given help is arson. I also don't quite want to get in the mind of the terrorist apologist.

You know it's like when you see a big car accident, you want to see it and don't at once.
