Cue that Onion headline
The headline is not untrue, but I think a lot of people are making school shooting assumptions based on “mass shooting” that would probably be avoidable with a change in phrasing.
One adult man shot his wife and presumed girlfriend, killed seven of their own children, plus an eighth who was visiting, and then booked it. It’s a horrific crime to commit and I can’t understand how a person can do something like that.
I don't get it but also this is how a lot of mass killings played out historically. Hell my own ancestor pruned the old branches on the tree as it were before he became a bandit.
Domestic Violence are the new School Shootings for the news media. Nancy Grace and Paula Zahn are hot on the case!
I'm so disappointed to find out that Nancy Grace is still alive
Used to be the Aztec were seen as barbaric for sacrificing their children to appease their gods.. . history rhyming, Americans now sacrifice their children to appease their gods Remington and Winchester.
If the other children had guns to defend themselves this could’ve easily be avoided, right?
Finally a great idea.
But the good kids need bigger automatic weapons so they can defend themselves against the bad kids, right? NRA would probably say grenade launchers should be good
Huh, and it was in a red state... Again
It's only the speaker of the house's hometown and in the district he currently represents
He doesn't care about them, he has a constituency of One.
So they want them to be born, even if the mother doesn’t want them.
Then they want to either sextraffic them and protect pedophiles to the extent of putting them in the white house.
And if not that, they’ll kill some. At school in the USA or Iran.
Every child’s the same for the ~~most~~ second most violent nation on earth, that’s taking everyone else with them
Second most violent? Not the first? For decades the US has started wars and supported other's wars and committed horrible war crimes. Their economy is based on violence. What country has been more violent than the US?
Their unsinkable aircraft carrier in the middle east?
They have been fighting wars there, true. But the US did and does globally and they supplied and currently supply Israel to enable their wars. I think the US wins by a landslide. Just this year the US bombed 6 countries (Venezuela, Somalia, Nigeria, Syria, Iraq, Iran and Yemen).
I think executing ~~a~~ multiple genocides > supplying and supporting a genocide.
Yet the US is committing violence on a global scale. The US still has legal slavery. School shootings are normalized. Crime rates are through the roof. Their judicial system is corrupt. So is their incarceration system, which commits crimes against humanity itself. Their police is extremily violent, while being equipped with military grade weapons and gear. They started more wars than anyone.
What Israel is doing is horrific. What the US does is on such a larger scale, while also supporting the genocide Israel is committing, among all the other war crimes and crimes against humanity from Israel. Israel is the biggest bully of the Middle East. The US is the biggest bully of the world.
Well argued. I’m not going to fight my position. US is surface level very obviously violent, but Israel is the one which works behind the scenes and sets up elaborate schemes to treat many other brands of humans worse than we treat cattle.
America you can avoid by no longer using silicon valley garbage and just not going there. Israel is everywhere, behind the scenes buying the politician you voted for more than 10,000km away from Jerusalem, just to make sure you don’t shout on the streets that Palestine should be free.
Israel is covert and cloak and dagger. Journalists are killed first. At least in the US, it is still being filmed and rapist soldiers wouldn’t get sent straight to the battlefield.
Happy to give the top award to USA, Israel and Russia all together at the same time.
It might be unsinkable, but it also can't move out of the way of climate change.
I think a lot of what we are seeing in many areas is absolute desperation caused by the inescapable reality of climate change starting to become too imminent to ignore. We are running out of road to kick the can down.
Government: "No lives matter" (not spoken with words, but very clearly demonstrated through actions)
Also government: "Why aren't people reproducing anymore?"
Horrifying. When will it end?
This is so sad... the smell of freedom is led and iron.
So much freedom. America is so much greater already.
Red state. It's always a Red state.
