So I seem to recall the school constable at Marjorie Stoneman in Florida was charged with dereliction of duty for not going in in the active shooter situation. Should any person with a gun in that WalMart be charged with the same?
Of course I am not serious, but if the only way one can imagine preventing these events is a well armed populace, it’s the logical next step.
Yeah, it’s impossible to see how a bunch of armed civilians with weapons drawn could have made things worse. /s
Also, there was talk about multiple shooters for a bit. Perhaps this is why?
Trump’s response will be to double down on Baltimore.
That’s fine, at least it makes personal sales that much harder.
Aaaaand 13 hours later, we can add Dayton, Ohio to the list. FFS.
Or something equally obnoxious that both distracts from this shooter’s love for him and brings the spotlight back onto himself.
Every. Fucking. Time.
Well there’s your problem; those other countries don’t even need guns for self protection from mass shootings. /s
Bit small.
Trump response?
“I’m golfing. Thoughts and prayers.”
CNN has interrupted it’s coverage of this mass shooting … with coverage of another mass shooting …
“grandpa, why the 10s were nicknamed the Not the Onion years?”
“How do you feel now, Greg?”
I thought that Sandy Hook might do it: 26 people, 20 of them small children, most of them white and suburban. But after seeing nothing done afterward (except, apparently, politicians scared of losing the votes of Alex Jones followers) I gave up on seeing any meaningful change. Demographic change may make it possible in 2030 or so, but we have to keep fighting for it, though.
It’s morning now, so we’re on to Dayton. https://www.cnn.com/us/live-news/ohio-shooting/index.html
