Another school shooting

[catastrophe]

All kinds of reports of do nothings getting ample warning about this pending potential event and doing nothing.   The blood is on their hands as well.    Text messages, pictures, nobody did a damn thing.

I’m personally much more comfortable with drastically restricting the availability of guns than preemptively arresting people for doing things that are currently legal.

And honestly with the gun worshiping culture in Texas and elsewhere, many of those facts only look suspicious in hindsight.

Schools, concerts, nightclubs, churches, grocery stores, movie theaters, etc. Where are you with your bingo card in 2022?

Who said anything about arrest?

This happens often enough that I see it as our gun policy working as intended. If more than half of us didn't want these kids to die, we'd at least try to do something to stop it from happening.

Right? It's waaayyy past time to stop blaming politicians for this and all the other things about this country that's patently mumped up. Citizens need to hold other citizens accountable for inaction. Gun rights fanatics and the NRA hold such a tiny minority of this country, I'm not even sure they represent a majority of gun owners.

Continuing to elect people who won't fix this issue is worst than electing someone who comes out as pro meth. The 1997-98 school year had three mass school shootings, could you imagine if we as a country took this seriously back then? We wouldn't even know what ALICE drills are.

What is an ALICE drill?

That’s fine. Please adjust where it needs to be. I talk to International docs trying to get employment here daily, that are jealous AF you us. Mods, please put wherever this should go.

There definitely is no better place on earth to be a financially focused doctor.  That much the entire world agrees on.

Active shooter drills done at schools, camps, etc.

Last week, it was ‘we’ll take every action to protect unborn children’

This week, it’s ‘thoughts and prayers, real-life children, better luck next time’

Literally eff all of them.

You really cling to this.

Truth hurt?

No, it's just a very weak argument. Underlying its use is this assumption that only the government can provide for kids. I have four school age kids that never worry about being locked down at a school. We don't have to cross our fingers hoping this doesn't happen to our kids.

My kids are also miraculously able to be taken care of without any government assistance. If you want to do something through a UBI, I could get behind that. All of these other programs, no.

I'm also anti-death penalty.

Are you saying your kids school will never be involved in a shooting or that your kids don't go to school?

My kids will never be victims in a school shooting because they don't go to school.

they ever go to a grocery store?

Yes, they very rarely go to a grocery store. They also venture outside sometimes during a thunderstorm.

Living life scared it sounds like.  Do they mask?

No masks. Why in the world would kids be going to the grocerty store?

To go shopping with their parents and not live scared?

Ok. I found that the acronym stands for Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, Evacuate.

My kids don't live scared, but do not consider going to the grocery store to be an enjoyable experience.

Question for a lot of the libs on here that bitch about the US non stop (Obviously this is a huge one, that I definitely back that needs changes immediately). Is there anything you like about living here? You have a laundry list of crap you guys bitch about every day.

I'm a citizen and speak the language so it's easy and convenient for me to find employment. I interviewed for a job in Canada once and there are a lot of hoops to jump through!

[MakeItRain]

The NRA will solve the problem at their Texas meeting this weekend with more guns.

Will guns be allowed at the meeting?

Guess

NAAGA should show up

I've seen that he gave 30 minutes notice, you see something different?

The only time MAGA's bring up Mental Health is when there's been a tragedy with guns. I still remember my grandma giving me hell, because I went home the day President Bush came to speak at K-State, while I was in college. I was suffering with severe anxiety/depression/body dysmorphia at the time and she pretty much called me weak and embarrassing. Both sides play chess with this crap for their agendas and it makes me sick.

I honestly want to know, do you just have the highest moral ground on everything? Do you stand for anything at all or just against everything?

My kids go places like church, soccer games, family events, etc. They don't really ever go to the grocery store. When my wife goes to the grocery store, they choose to not go. Maybe they're strange in thinking shopping for groceries is not a lot of fun.

[I_have_purplewood]

Yeah, if we would just let Putin conquer Ukraine, someone would actually do something to prevent these shootings.

The sad irony is watching #blueanon rightfully be outraged about mass shootings in the United States, while at the same time openly calling for more weapons of war to be sent to Ukraine with virtually no calls for peace talks/negotiations.    Even worse, knowing that #blueanon welcomes the blank check of billions for Ukraine for more killing.

We are so mumped as a nation that a world war might be necessary to bring us together, but even then, we'd probably eff it up.

I actually chuckled at this because it's true... I then

Gun restriction is just one step in what needs to be done.  Anyone who wants all guns banned is a complete moron because that will never happen.  We have no idea what kind of hell these kids have been through because of the pandemic and mental health has to be addressed as well as the coverage of these events.  This kid had body armor on just like the kid in Buffalo.  This copy cat crap is happening.

 Fox had a reporter who interviewed one of the kids for Christ sake.  Sad.

I've been around kids my entire adult life, literally thousands of them, ain't met one yet who doesn't want to go to the store. My oldest might be they biggest introvert o.a.t., even as a teen loves going to the store with either me or her mother, doesn't matter.

[chum1]

This is completely unsurprising.

Yeah. White anxiety is the most dominant, driving political force in this country right now. And it sucks.

He was posting pics of his rifles starting almost a month ago on social media.   He was tagging people and then messaging them asking them if they saw the pics.   Four days ago he sent texts to a friend showing his rifles and all of his loaded clips of ammo.    Most, if not all of these people knew he was a person who was angry, who had mental problems, some of the same people getting messages and seeing his gun pics were the same people who took video of him in a fight with his mom when she tried to or she successfully kicked him out of the house.    Allegedly one of the people who got pics of his guns, and backpack full of loaded clips four days ago asked him why had all of that stuff, and he told them not to worry about it.

I appreciate your concern, MIR. It's called being a moderate. Have a great day and hug your children.

If you don't agree with everything we want . . . you're dominated by "white anxiety".

Well, none of that is illegal, and doing something about it before he started killing people would be illegal.

What action are you looking for from all of this?
