former USArmy Capt. Harry Hardman — who lives right up the road from Ft. Liberty/Bragg seems to have gotten a heavy dose of #MAGA radiation before going bananas and murdering his neighbors — and their dog.
@Kinnison You have to ask, how much of the command cadre is a ticking bomb?
@TwiHusband @Kinnison
Another MAGA person, a former mayor in a small town in Minnesota threatened to kill University of Minnesota students this weekend but swat officers arrested him before he hurt anyone. Why students?

@Klaatu_Veratta_Nectarine @TwiHusband @Kinnison Having lived in a college town I witnessed just how much the locals dislike students. In fairness to locals, students tend to come in temporarily and make permanent changes that locals are left to live with whether they like it or not. However, locals need to remember that students drive their economy. We won’t talk about riots after a sports team loses (or wins) that causes much property damage, we several of those.
@cjcrew @Klaatu_Veratta_Nectarine @Kinnison Depends on the town and the region. I worked for the University in a medium sized city in Ohio for 28 years.The locals were cool with it. Same up in Ann Arbor, another college town.
The problem is the cow colleges. Rural people are generally intolerant of education, especially any education that doesn't support their prejudices. "Jesus may love you, but he says I can, and should, hate you."

@TwiHusband @Klaatu_Veratta_Nectarine @Kinnison Yeah I miss living in a city that’s influenced by the college, it makes a world of difference.
In the Greater Lansing area there really are both attitudes. The shooting that happened a year or two ago I think demonstrated some of the negative attitude many have toward the college. I don’t know for sure that this was his motive but that’s how I saw it.
