A group of people. Not sure what word would fit in that sentence other than person. Is the word person off limits for some reason? What would you suggest as a word instead?

Gepetto 1,289 Posted July 31, 2024 Seriously though, the title read the shooter's name and someone asked the o.p. to remove the name so as not to promote their name. The o.p. then replaced the shooter's name with "a person". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fine... and Harris encouraged the riots by supporting donations to be raised so that the 2020 rioters can get bailed out. So, I'm not supposed to vote for Trump because he's a "pathetic little betch", but you can vote for Harris even though she supported violence against the citizens of the country. Got it.

The point I am making is in one case it was spurred by a citizen being murdered on video for 10 minutes. The other was by a man whose ego is so fragile he can’t accept he lost a popularity contest.
