Following Tradition, Rick Perry commits political suicide by referring to SC mass shooting as "An Ac

[QUOTE=hexpunK;48021722]You can't see why saying "accident" over "incident" about a shooting is worse? I'm not entirely sure how a person can miss it, but here we go;

Claiming a premeditated, racially charged, multiple murder was an "accident" implies so much about it. That it wasn't meant to happen, that the perp never intended to do it, that it could have been prevented with ease, etc. But none of that is really true of the incident. The shooter intended to kill people (specifically, black people) from the get go, prevention of the incident would require some actually meaningful reforms in society to demolish racist ideals fully and maybe some better legislation to make it harder to acquire weapons (like fuck random shooters who look like this chump would not get beat the fuck down at a black market deal).

Saying "accident" over "incident" totally undermines the actual harm from the event. Perry surely knows this, but clearly still managed to completely fuck it up.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=tarkata14;48021735]Accident implies nobody tried to do anything.

Like this kid stumbled into the church on accident and his gun randomly started misfiring at everyone in the church [I]on accident.[/I]

Incident just means something happened, and doesn't imply that no one is at fault.[/QUOTE]

It's cool. Sorry if my post comes off as a bit abrasive. I was just confused myself for a bit there.

[QUOTE=CrumbleShake;48020723]I hate the guy and everything, but it seems a little petty that it takes him tripping over his words and mispeaking to destroy his election campaign. He got a word wrong, he clearly doesn't actually think it was an accident, we all make that kind of mistake, it shouldn't be his end, his awful, awful politics should be his end.[/QUOTE]

Trust me, his bat-shit crazy beliefs are what really destroys his career. Him fucking up speeches like this is just salt in his own already gaping wounds.
