Things that made you Facepalm today (Political Version)

[Neveragain]

Learning more about this guys interaction with the society he was surrounded by. Turns out this kid had a speech impediment, his schoolmates literally called him "The school shooter", made fun of his clothes, made fun of his families financial situation, was abused by his step father, mother was a junky.

Keep being America, home of the plastic society.

Late 70's to early 80's. Prior to the financial crisis at that time it was less common that both parents were working full time jobs, when the shit hit the fan nearly everyone's parents went full time. We literally have a term for that generation of kids "key latch kids". This is also when divorces started to skyrocket.

sorry, but this is ridiculous. there is no evidence that shows that the lack of "nuclear family" or lack of traditional family structure plays any role in mass shootings or crime. the idea that non-traditional family structures is a factor here is a socially conservative myth. it's been shown that socio-economic factors play more of a role in a childs emotional development and family stability rather than the traditional family structure you are talking about.

the real issue is mental illness and lack of health care, indoctrination and yes (dare i say) ease of access to guns, but that's a moot point now.

So now they're saying the murderer was firing his gun outside at the school for 12 MINUTES before he entered the school unobstructed (before the police claimed the school resource officer tried to stop him), and that he was in the room shooting up kids for ALMOST AN HOUR while the police waited outside and handcuffed parents until the Border Patrol showed up and ended this piece of shit's life.

What the ever fucking fuck?

And Democrats want to take away YOUR guns and tell you to rely on the police to protect you. Fuck that shit. Allow teachers to conceal carry. Don't make schools a soft target and tell teachers and students "Don't worry! Just survive for an hour and maybe the police will finally send in help!"

shut the fuck up you fucking talking vegetable. you cry in every other thread about people just parroting MSNBC talking points, but here you are breaking out the dumbest fucking thing imaginable that conservative tv spouts every time this shit happens. giving teachers guns is not a solution and anyone who suggests this should be glued to an Elon rocket face first and shot into the sun.

cops froze in fear and wouldn't do anything to stop this shooter. people with situational training and experience with firearms weren't able to do anything. why the fuck do you think Ms. Sanders, 24 year old history teacher who still lives with her parents and cuts the crust off her lunch sandwiches is going to have the emotional wherewithal to navigate an unimaginable stressful situation like a mass school shooting and bang bang take him out John Wick style without killing or injuring anyone else, much less not just freeze in fear as 99% of people would do? "the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun" is a retarded talking point. shut up

At an hour of unhindered carnage the psycho didn't even need a gun, he could have slaughtered those kids with a crossbow while the police were standing outside waiting.

are you capable of thinking critically at all? like, is that a thing the leftover working part of your brain is capable of doing?

You’re the same fucker who cheered the fact that the white school shooter’s parents were arrested and charged with multiple counts of manslaughter, but now we can’t ask questions about the brown school shooter’s parents, or how his grandparents supposedly didn’t notice he had guns in the house?

You’re such a disgusting racist.

They /bought/ him the gun, they IGNORED the schools request to take him home. I know skin color makes it impossible for you to see the difference, but this is ridiculous.

Well let's look into the parents of this school shooter! Maybe they gave him money for the gun! Oh oh! Maybe the grandfather knew he had the gun and had mental problems but did nothing about it! We don't know if we don't fucking look into it, but you don't even want to ask questions because it doesn't fit your fucked up political agenda.

Fuck off, and take your dumb ass boyfriend joeyb with you.

[joeyb]

Oh hey, joeyb, you forgot to mention in the other thread how Alec Baldwin shouldn't be in jail for literally killing another human being.

Is it because he's a Hollywood liberal piece of shit so therefore laws don't apply to him?

firstly, i hate liberals probably more than anything. secondly, you're an idiot. thirdly, i responded to your stupid comment already, go take a look. fourthly, respond to my post in this thread you typing pile of shit

[Seran]

Supposedly, some of those same cops ran inside to get their own kids out first.

This particular shooting should be centered around police malice/incompetence, instead of a gun debate. If they're too chicken shit to run inside and do the job they're paid to do, don't stop the parents from doing so. Dumbasses.

It should be BOTH. Police officers should /never/ be less equipped than the people they're protecting a community from. Qualified immunity for police officers who are performing duties is unquestionable, but each and every police department should be equipped as if entering a high tech warzone. The moment the shooter started firing outside of the school, a hail of bullets comparable to a rainstorm should have taken him down. A sniper should have put a bullet right in his forehead. But the Uvalde police department was underequipped, undertrained and cowards.

Oh fuck's sake. Not another "No gais, trust me! I are independent! i don't take sides, it's just a coincidence that I always defend leftist assholes and always criticize the right!"
