I'm not cheering the actions of #Luigi. Just like #NRA members aren't cheering for #massshootings. I just believe we should all have a #Mangione option just in case powerful forces start oppressing us. Just like #MAGA folks keep those #AR15 close "just in case." #ThoughtsAndPrayers
I guess if you can’t harm children with mass shootings, you can always get them with plagues.

@ProPublica In the case of the two recent #MassShootings in #Tennessee the “Internet subculture that glorifies mass shooters and encourages young people to commit attacks” was #X.
#Twitter
#Xitter
, so twits still tweeting are
s.
Families of the victims should sue the owner of X. I hear he has a lot of money.
@petergleick aeit the latter one is a matter of #ViolenceCulture, not access to #guns, because the amount of #MassShootings per capita are way lower in places with even more relaxed gun laws (i.e. #Switzerland allows the sale of new machine guns to individuals), or way more rampant amounts of illegal guns (i.e. #Germany has at least 16,7M confirmed and estimated 40M+ guns in circulation) because media here doesn't rewards sociopaths with screentime!

This is not #RocketScience: More Guns = More Dead People
“Guns are the problem. Guns. Not mental health. Not gangs on campus. Not students arguing over social media posts. Guns. Without guns, the sickening news alerts that plague our smartphones would disappear.
As the media examined Monday’s school shooting in Wisconsin, we were told that “It’s complicated” and that there are “no simple answers.” That may be true up to a point, but the unifying factor in school shootings is guns”

Sometimes a cartoon can sum up a tragedy more powerfully than words

This is just insanity and negligence that our politicians have done nothing about it. I would even say criminal.

I know for a lot of people this sounds like we are just simping for some candidate as if we were paid, but they're really is a stark difference.
Kamala Harris has talked of unity and the importance of respecting all #Americans, regardless of #race, religion, #queerness, or political opinion. Trump has brought wild divisive statements to new heights, claiming that Haitian immigrants are eating pets, Jews would be to blame for his loss, and members of the press and his own party should be shot.
It is no surprise that #MassShootings and other #HateCrimes shot up during his first campaign and peaked during his presidency, along with #CrimeRates in general.
Generally speaking, one can't even exist without seeing the ripple effects of this: people on the news, on the streets, at the kitchen table, repeating wildly divisive #misinformation that Trump and his movement have normalized.
We need to move away from the politics of #bigotry, #scapegoating, division.
We need to vote for Kamala Harris.
Daughter finds 'earth angel' in woman who made her dad laugh before Colorado supermarket shooting
‘What more could you wish for, that before the most horrific thing, there was laughter and a moment of peace’
Gunman who killed 10 at a Boulder supermarket found guilty of murder
His attorneys did not dispute that Alissa, who has schizophrenia, fatally shot 10 people
Gunman says he heard 'killing voices' before Boulder supermarket shooting
‘I started hearing voices, like killing, like killing voices’
The US has less than 5% of global population but 31% of #MassShootings. Why? It's been said before, but I'll say it again: because of our #GunPolicy. If you think that level of death is there price we have to pay in order to own #guns, just say it. I believe that level of death is unacceptable, and most other Americans do, too. We need to change our gun policy.
What horrors are so common in your world that people mostly ignore them? Why might someone not be able to?
"The suspect’s father told investigators this week he had purchased the gun used in the killings as a holiday present for his son in December 2023, according to two law enforcement sources."
This is where more comprehensive background checks and a reinstated #AssaultWeaponsBan need to be implemented, at the least.

And the BOOM of accountability for school #MassShootings starts to fall in places where it should, on PARENTS that provide children access to #AssaultWeapons.
I hope that #ColinGray ends up in prison for years, just like #JamesCrumbley in #Michigan. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/georgia-school-shooting-colin-gray_n_66da4132e4b0abbb7b4440b6
Let's do #GunDealers and #Manufacturers next!
Ofcls charged the accused shooter, identified as #ColtGray, 14, w/ 4 counts of felony #murder & said he could face additional charges. His first court appearance will be Friday at 8:30 AM.
Police found evidence of the suspect’s interest in #MassShootings during a search of his room on Wednesday, acc/to 2 #law enforcement ofcls briefed on the investigation. The 2018 massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas HS in Florida, which left 17 people dead, drew his particular interest.
