My first roommate at Promontory Tower [RIP] at Weber was from Coalville, and grew up knowing Anthony and his family.. Small world.

Is what you wrote, bringing politics into by insinuating āa Trumperā did this. If you had not mentioned āa Trumperā there would be no issue, but you brought in the politics.
The whole point of this is that the Reiner murders are a tragedy, regardless of politics or worldview. We should feel awful that people lost their lives in a horrible manner. The social commentary can come after weāve grieved and processed what happened.

That loud whooshing sound that you hear going over your head is the point I made: LEAVE THE ā ā ā ā ā ā ā POLITICS OUT THE DISCUSSION. This is a fan board, not r/politics. You donāt want to hear my politics, any more than I want to hear yours.

The sad fact of the matter is this tragedy will largely be remembered in a political contextā¦and it is not because of what anyone posted in this thread.

Doesnāt mean we need to bring the politics of the outside world here to our happy place to discuss sports, and grieve the deceased of our pop culture past.

Well chris, it does not help that the orange menace himself actually opened his trap and made one of the most single vile posts I think weāve ever seen him make. When he himself lobs the first nuclear mortar into the battle you kind of have to allow a little Grace for some other people.
What Iām truly truly hoping we donāt learn is that for some reason Robās son had become radicalized toward that faction. As perhaps some kind of hatred backlash against his father. God knows weāve seen all sorts of insanity going on in the last year.
I havenāt forgotten the truly terrifying reality that based on everything that has been revealed to this point, it does appear that Charlie Kirkās assassin was from an even more radicalized element who didnāt think Charlie was radical enough. I mean anyone who actually listens to Nick Fuentes has something so profoundly wrong with their soul or their mind that I certainly am incapable of finding words to express it.
It is at times like this that I almost feel like cursing the profound empathic gift that I have been given my whole life. It makes things indescribably soul wrenching.

I will try to be more sensitive to CCUās request to keep politics in the politics category. I donāt want to see another melt down.

I can see both sides on this one.
3Utedad quite naturally sees the presidentās remarks as injury upon our collective pain of what happened to a beloved national icon. Totally get it. (Somebody take away this manās phone ! !)
At the same time, I can see CCUās point and generally agree with him that the toxic nature of todayās politics corrodes too much of the good things that bind people together.
Look, weāre all getting older, Ute sports and this forum in particular connect really good people, literally from coast to coast.
Weāre all going to outlive the instigator - who it bears noting, none of us know. On this particular point, thereās exactly zero reason to let that disrupt what we have going on here.
I donāt think itās necessary, but if anyone decides to take some time outā¦ COME ON BACK, and soon!
Play on.

Indeed best to keep politics in its own category. Most of us have VERY favorable or VERY unfavorable opinions of certain individuals. Best to let who want to argue about them do so elsewhere.

I definitely mourn the loss of another person who held a favorable memory in my childhood. Ironically though the worst part about the article is being reminded that he was 82, and the realization that brings to me about how we hadnāt read anything out of him in decades. Therefore he is cemented in my brain as an icon of my childhood.
I think Iām finally hitting that point where I begin to understand how my parents and the generation felt about the death of icons such as Lucille Ball and Bette Davis

Man, this is sad. I remember watching Buck Rogers when I was a kid. I canāt recall anything else he was in, but thatās more my fault for not paying attention.
I hope his family is doing ok.
