Conspiracy Theories, Compassion and Common Sense: A Response to Jimmy Kimmel

Jimmy Kimmel’s compassionate late night monologue last week went viral, YouTube had to change its algorithm because of the crazies and can we please acknowledge that compassion doesn’t equal common sense or correctness? Let’s talk about this stuff!

  1. A lot of these conspiracy theories start from Russia and/or Russian led intelligence services. Other than just repeating the truth and ignoring them I don't think there's much to do against them. They're fundamentally weak since untrue. Trying to refute them leads nowhere. Who cares if a bunch of powerless people believe wrongly that lizard people did it e.g.? Weak powerless people with wrong ideas are generally irrelevant. SO why does Russia do it? to confuse, divide, sow conflict, and distract from whatever wrongdoing Russia is up to.
    China so far doesn't seem to to this often, at leat not yet. These are called aktivne meropriyatie btw.

    See? There's a Reason you never shoot me dead all those times you arrest me Mr. Officer. Thanks!

  2. Kimmel does come across as caring and compassionate, in this clip. I will agree with you on that. But I am gonna call it mediocre acting.

    There are no real tears, yet he is breathing like he should be sobbing.

    His articulation and enunciation are pretty well on point.

    Overall, I see things that scream raw emotion. But I also see a lot of things that aren't adding up to the same level of emotion, to me.

  3. It’s crazy control, not gun control. None of the anti gun ideas would have prevented this, or any other mass shooting.

  4. I appreciate your words, and it may sound dumb, but something as stupid as the extension ladder slipping from underneath my buddy when i was in middle school was what i ran towards. i completely agree with your words.

  5. Love you brother Mike. Keep fighting the good fight. All of us at the Rose compound are praying for you and yours brother.

    God bless!

  6. Jimmy is an Actor, he is trained to cry on command. I don't believe his performance. If he was sincere than where were his tears for all the other mass shootings? Actor=getting paid to convincingly play a roll that is not normal to your everyday personality.

  7. This need not be any either / or question about gun control; there are other options.

    When big mental institutions were closed promises were made to fund small local mental health institutions, both outpatient and inpatient. Immediately funding promises were not kept, then they've consistently been cut decade after decade.

    How many of the mass shooters would have been treated on an outpatient basis if those promises had been kept, or been permanently living inpatient? I remember the man who shot up the Navy base in Washington, there was something about him having pleaded for help for weeks, help for which he was entitled. Another guy in a school who was talked down by the school secretary whose meds had not been renewed on time, those are the only ones I can remember off hand.

    SJW and proud of it!

  8. I 100% agree if you look in Europe they primarily have bombings because they can't get guns like we can in the United States so someone's doing the mass shooting can be stopped with one good person with a gun but if they use a bomb didn't kill hundreds or thousands in a second I agree both our tragedy but guns are better than bombs any day and the people that want to kill don't care if it's with a gun or a bomb as long as there's notoriety around the attack which is why I think we also should not give these people or the shootings attention we should try to give as little attention as possible I'm not give out the gunman's name because that's what they wanted in the end and it might convince someone else to start going down that path

  9. If the guy busted out the window and started tossing Molotov cocktails into the crowd .. noone would be saying outlaw glass bottles and gasoline. Sick people who want to hurt others will find a way. We don't have gun control issues in this country, we have issues with detecting and helping people with mental illness.
    Trying to stop shootings by passing LAWS making it harder for normal citizens to legally buy guns is like trying to stop drunk drivers by making it harder to get a driver's license…

  10. Nothing can change the the insanely high gun death and injury figures in the US compared to other civilized places.
    Throwing in a few other cases of mass murder with non firearms is irrelevant.

  11. I live in a place where guns are rare and handguns a more rare.
    No one here has to worry about anyone having a gun.
    I like it.

  12. Some people are delusional when it comes to reality.
    I mean we have a lot of people who think the Earth is flat. Lol

  13. MIKE-I DON'T COMMENT ON REALLY ANYONES POST ALOT…BUT YOU ASK THE QUESTION-WHAT MAKES A GOOD COP– PEOPLE LIKE YOU MAKE A GOOD COP….KEEP DOING JUST WHAT YOU'R DOING.IF YOU MAKE 1000 VIDEOS AN ONLY GET I PERSON TO RE-THINK HOW THEY SEE THINGS THEN YOU HAVE MADE A DIFFERENCE…..I AM A RETIRED SECURITY OFFICER OF 28 YEARS AN I HAVE SAW THE GOOD THE BAD AN THE EVIL IN PEOPLE….OUR POLICE OFFICERS DEAL WITH THING I CAN ONLY IMAGIN …MY THOUGHT IS–ONLY A GOOD GUY WITH A GUN CAN STOP A BAD GUY WITH A GUN..THANKS FOR BEING A GOOD COP MIKE……

  14. As a person who works at hotels, I can say with utter certainty:

    None of us are paid enough for the trouble of strip-searching and tossing the bags of every customer that comes in the door. Hell, if a guy comes in with an AK-47 in a plastic bag, We're inclined not to ask any questions. For every one person you MIGHT stop or hinder in doing evil, there are a thousand (literally, a THOUSAND) who will be, to put it mildly, 'upset' at being searched. We can't stop this kind of thing, even though we'd love to, because we are

    A) Not allowed to
    B) Not inclined to try
    C) I thought there was another reason.

  15. Why do you need a ak47 for home defense? its silly, a good handgun is enough. A hunting rifle is for hunting. a ak47 is an assault rifle ..it belongs in the army get real people.

  16. I don't know what garbage you're listening to, but nobody's talking about banning all firearms, or coming to take your guns away unless you're psychotic. Please stop proliferating nonsense when talking about this issue.

  17. Except for the fact that the FBI neither confirmed nor denied that there was the possibility of a second shooter in that case. Therefore, it is Possible, though I agree not likely.

  18. I live in Canada, we have gun control, its somewhere between the British style of gun control and the American style.

    Mike the cop, you should do a video comparing the numbers between Canada and the United States (Yes theres a significant population difference, so maybe a comparison between something like….California and Canada….whose populations are similar) and show how gun control might or might not help.

  19. Wasent there a guy who called this happing on reddit weeks in advance and Dident the owners of the hotel dump a lot of stocks 3 days befor hand? Just stuff I’ve heard I wanta know what really happened there’s got to be more to it then this

  20. Aren’t you also taking a stance on gun control in this video? You give a significant proportion of the video to promoting the right to bear arms like Kimmel did. When life gives you lemons you make lemonade. Kimmel did that and you did that. It’s a perfectly fine thing to do. It’s not disrespectful to consider the “what could we have done differently” when someone dies. It’s giving them the thought they deserve. No, gun control won’t solve all the gun violence in the country, but you can’t just dismiss someone because they happen to have a situation that’s occurred that can show the significance of the issue.

  21. What we're doing is not working. Ask yourselves: Are these mass shootings the price of living in a society that has easy access to firearms? I do not pretend to know what the answers are, but I cannot help but shake my head when the pro-gun crowd whines incessantly because they <gasp!!> might have to meet extra requirements to purchase yet another firearm. I don't advocate outright confiscation because that is highly unrealistic, but I definitely believe gun control laws need to be more consistent from one state to another. More asset tracking might also be useful. There is absolutely no reason why the 2A has to be mutually exclusive of greater gun control.

  22. I love that passionate, idealistic speech there at the end. I also love the order of the first two amendments…(1: You can say whatever you want…2: We're all armed.) Perhaps we should have warned people up front?

  23. I love the channel, but I disagree with the idea that those in favor of gun control latched on to this incident while ignoring the violence in Chicago, Detroit, LA, etc. I own several guns and support the 2nd Amendment (along with 25 of the other 26), but it seems to be the only Amendment that, as of now, is both an area necessitating, and yet impervious to adaptation and review.

  24. enduring kimmel's diatribe was like fingernails dragged on a blackboard. "mr. kimmel, besides your ignorance about guns, the right to bear arms, and the current crop of gun violence perpetrated in the USA, please don't use your business venue to go off topic of what is your job, aka "comedy". this is so annoying and unprofessional. nothing you said in your monologue was required, enlightening, or beneficial in any manner of common sense. if you have the need to vent and cry about what clearly is an obvious tragedy, please do it on your time and in your personal space, not on national television while on your job. however, who knows but you what your agenda is when you know you have a platformed audience of millions."

  25. Hi Mike, Just a quick correction regarding the Nice attack: the assailant used a truck and did not fire a single shot. This is true. However, armed law enforcement was present at the scene and shot many rounds into the moving truck. Chances are, concealed carry individuals who practice shooting at paper on ranges for sport, if even that, would probably not have outperformed the officers and military present at the scene at that time. Thank you for your informative videos!

  26. Grass grows, birds fly, and politically motivated individuals will use tragedy to further their agenda. Kimmel isn't the first and he certainly won't be the last. Neither political party sees this as taboo, they make the argument to "Not Politicize" when it hurts their position and call for action when it helps. Compassion is well and good but don't use it as an excuse to drag your feet to bring serious issues to discussion.
