Things that made you Facepalm today (Political Version)

[Gelston]

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.

I think the police believed it was a hostage situation, the guy was apparently barricaded in the classroom.

The school also claimed it was in lockdown, but that was pretty damn easy for him to get in there, so they were probably also saying that to cover their own asses.

There's no evidence except all the evidence and data collected over the past 50 years.

Just take your hormone blockers, take your antidepressant, take your methylphenidate, girls are boys, boys are girls and it's just a mass of cells. You will be ok Tommy, mommy will be home with another strange man later tonight after her girls night out.

except, there is none.

but, you're right, we should take things back to the old glory days of the 40s, 50s etc, when traditional family structure was the norm, women stayed at home and knew their place, domestic violence was par for the course yet divorce rates were low, jim crow, no rights for gays, etc etc etc

fuck this boomer shit. you have this ideal in your mind that was never a reality for the vast majority of people. fact of the matter is that right now is the best time to be alive in terms of equality and being treated as a human than any other time. this reactionary bullshit you're peddling only helps one demographic of people and does nothing to solve the issue being discussed, but would only make it worse.

Don't gripe the next time the police don't show up on time because society just raised another psychopath that shoots up an elementary school.

or, even this time when the police literally watched the psychopath enter the school and did nothing while little children were being murdered

Quit griping, this is the society you want.

Quit griping, this is the society you want.

yes, i don't think everyone being raised in a "traditional family" is a solution to mass shootings, therefore, i want children to be murdered in school

[Seran]

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.

He was employed, he purchased the gun and despite your inane beliefs, he's responsible for his own actions.

It's everything you have suggested you support, deal with it.

Your not going to leave the rest of us unable to defend our families and homes in this giant hellhole you've created.

lol what the fuck are you even talking about? you are not a serious person. what have i suggested i support? non traditional family structures?

so you argument boils down to, "the current world is a hellhole and it's because people get divorced and not every child is raised by a man and a woman who stay together, regardless of their situation. and the proof of this is my anecdotal evidence." is that what you're arguing? because lol

Quit whining. The police were defunded, the child was raised in an untraditional household, the school is a gun free zone. You have your liberal paradise.

lol wait, are you a "give guns to teachers" person? lol jesus

anyone remember eric harris and dylan klebold? both were raised in "traditional households", with eric's father in the air force and his mother being a homemaker, weird.

but, yeah, let's forget that one and just concentrate on how kids are school shooters because there is no way that a mother and father can be abusive to a child and fuck them up. even if they are abusive, that's way better than two loving gay men raising a child, or two caring grandparents. heaven forbid! must protect that social fabric!

also, police were never defunded.
