Firefighters and Ambulance help you, Police punish you.
My condolences to the firefighter's family.
Surely this could’ve been avoided if only there had been four good guys with guns…
It’s sad but it’s just three more senseless deaths at the hands of gun violence that we will do absolutely nothing about. Just add ‘em to the list. Many thoughts and prayers from the right though 🙏

"The other family members were able to leave the home and are safe, officials said. A total of 7 children between the ages of 2 and 15 were in the home, Superintendent Drew Evans of the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension said during a news conference Sunday. He said the 911 call came from someone in the home."
I wonder if it was one of those religious nut job quiverfull families.
some gun nut turned to his gun for help, and a bunch of people are dead.. same old shit from the gun geniuses..
I'm a mile from there. It was a very surreal morning.
