If I was more tech savvy I would share the link but you can look bit up with the keywords UW Stout/Saudi Arabian kid.

This is too close to home and not acceptable in any way.

How many black children were killed by other blacks in your city this weekend?  None of that hit close to home?  I guess if someone of color is killed by someone without clear motive, it's appropriate to assume it was just a vicious hate crime assault.

Strange that a GN'R board would be this conformist. Sign of the times I guess.

It's quite possible to be non-conformist and yet not want a guy who looks like a half-orangutan (and has half the IQ of an orangutan) to become president.... If you're only motivated to vote for someone 'because they're not the establishment', you're not non-conformist you're a contrarian. It's not the same thing...

Imagine saying that about Obama.

When the other choice is the very definition of a corrupt, nothing gets better politician, I'd say the position is much better filled by someone who "doesn't know what they're doing". At least their damage will lack the thrust. Not that Trump is any of those things. Being a real CEO he's much better prepared for leadership than most politicians. Hillary hasn't shown she can lead anyone.
