So the guy who we’ve been told killed the shooter from day one, who was on the news two days ago talking about how he himself killed the shooter, is back on television this morning saying he in fact did not kill the shooter and didn’t even enter the school. Apparently the story now is the Uvalde swat team, who literally nobody saw enter the building, are the ones who neutralized the threat? What the fuck is going on?
Portland-area serial robbery suspect arrested after Hayden Island standoff, police say All with an airsoft gun. Wow. Very stupid on his part, he's lucky he didn't get shot.
Good. Let's make them go on record and vote against it so it can be used against them in their next election.
But then why not force them to vote on it so it can be used against them in the next election? True. Just thinking here... could they get it passed and allow schools to prepay for the work? Thereby preventing republicans from jacking it up? Perhaps via a forgivable bond or something? I feel like there must be a way to force the government to completely pay for something they agree to pay for... And this is just a budget issue, so it should be able to pass with a party line reconciliation vote, right? True Is it really worth fighting over something we could solve in other ways, with fewer obstacles, that would save and improve an order of magnitude more lives than completely eliminating guns from the equation ever could? We're talking millions per year vs at MOST 50k per year. Only 10k of which are homicides, and most of those due almost entirely to poor economic conditions for given demographics... And remember, over half of all gun deaths are suicides. Which is obviously a mental health problem (which would be addressed).
Many of you have probably seen the interview with the woman who escaped police detainment and entered the school, unarmed, DURING the shooting and retrieved both of her children, as well as one of their friends. I’m now reading that this woman was told by members of the Uvalde police department that if she gave anymore interviews regarding the incident, her probation would be revoked and she’d go to prison. Holy fucking shit the levels of cowardice are beyond comprehension.
As long as they can shout Shall not be infringed!, then thoughts and prayers plays fine with their base.
I'm not talking about their base. We can't just be satisfied with pointing fingers. That's what they (The American Oligarchs) want.
True, no, not the part about me. I overlook a lot about what other people say because it's not as important as my friendships. I invite all of you to try it.
