US-specific news, no politics

Rules:

  1. No politics. Nothing about governments, parties, or politicians. I love politics but this is not a politics community, there are plenty of those. [email protected] is recommended.
  2. Reliable sources only.
  3. Articles are good. Self-posts or blog posts by professionals or journalists are fine. Memes or random blogs, no.
  4. Post title must match the headline. Edits for clarity are fine.
  5. Don't be a jerk.
  6. No racism, no bigotry, no spam.
  7. Be productive.

What about thoughts and prayers? Have they tried that?

I feel sorry for the kids who are suffering, but the parents caused this. Someone might argue allowing this to happen is child abuse.

Their thoughts and prayers were offset by The San Francisco Gay Librul Agenda! God is PUNISHING those Texas shitkickers because AND ONLY BECAUSE there is Gay in Sanfransisco Libruland!

A little bit of thought might have helped, but it's definitely too late now.
