I think it's time to change the American National Anthem to "Another One Bites the Dust".

America: Only thing less valuable than the lives of our kids are the lives of foreign kids!

Can we actually expect 2100 more children to receive a gunshot wound this year?

good house with a gun could've prevented this

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

That's utter fucking ridiculous!

The 12 year old should have had a gun so she could've shot the incoming bullet.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

What kinda crap is this?

By 12 they should have a katana and the training to merely cut the bullet in half.

This was a hateful and insane racist, I suspect the intentions of this shooting above to be less extreme.

What was insane about him?

He was apparently lucid and intentional. He was just a violent racist that got whipped up by conservative media and politicians, and radicalized to kill Americans.

Everyone can see this coming from conservative rhetoric and they are proud of it.

The shooter will probably be posthumously honored at CPAC.
