Another Day, Another Idiotic Tweet From P.o.t.u.s.

What about those natives / indigenous people who bred with the immigrants?

[Peter Pedant]

// does that mean that because those crimes were committed by indigenous Americans//

o god I love brilliant crushing retorts which are brilliant only in their ignorance - forward AB !

indigenous people wiv immigrants
are they noted as mass murderers ?
Reina del sur ( Neflix - lots of forrin so ABers beware!) shows what it is like to be a latino in Texas - not as much fun as being a redneck apparently

Charleston Been broadcast last night
one of the American audience asked the American panel - 'all the mass murders have been carried out by white fellas would the panel lie to comment...'
No mench of gun control of course

aog, //The indigenous Americans are the Native Americans, the rest are immigrants. //

Unhelpfully pedantic - but point taken.

In my opinion, people who 'tweet' are idiotic juveniles with time on their hands.

One thing we can take from this thread is that the crime rate rising 13% is not linked to the spread of radical Islam.

Some confusion seems to have arisen from Trump's use of the word "report":

----------------
Just out report: "United Kingdom crime rises 13 per cent annually amid spread of Radical Islamic terror." Not good, we must keep America safe!
----------------

A normal interpretation would be that the official "report" of the crime rise figures also mentioned Radical Islam. But it didn't. Instead, the "report" Trump is referring to is contained in some unnamed rag that mentioned both the official report and the spread of Radical Islam. A shame he did not say that. Sad.
