THREE mass murders in ONE week!

[BigmanPigman]

4 in Gilroy plus the shooter (who killed himself) last Sunday
20 in El Paso today
9 in Ohio plus the shooter tonight

1 person indirectly responsible for all of it, and a lot more.

[Recursion]

1. And in the same time period, around 400 gun suicides and 200 "ordinary" gun homicides

The stuff that flies under the radar but kills an order of magnitude more people. And still, we don't do anything to address the proliferation of guns.

2. I was reading about gun deaths in America for several hours today.

Suicide by gun is unbelievably high. Domestic abuse with a gun is another crime that is really serious.

3. Was the Gilroy a white supremacist terrorist also? tia

4. Yep, CNN just reported it a day ago.

Gee, what a surprise.

5. Damn, the Ohio one involves a "long gun" aka an assault rifle and they don't want to ID the shooter

... aka white male and they don't know the motivation aka most likely going after some minority group.

Seems like that's the MO of the M$M after white supremacist attacks

6. This man?

7. This assholes words are killing people, He has blood on his hands

[malaise]

8. And that's the truth

although I would add it's not just words - it's gestures and tone - two mass murders in under 15 hours.

9. Many millions of people are indirectly responsible.

Trump didn't become president by himself. Every person who didn't vote to make sure he didn't literally helped elect him.

On the plus side, these tremors from increased RW stresses on our national structure should alarm a few more into finally emotionally engaging or realizing they can't continue to support the Republican Party.

Straw by straw. Death by death. Threat of nuking 50 million people into radioactive fallout by threat of nuking millions of people into radioactive fallout. Thousands of atrocities against children and families by thousands of atrocities against children and families.

(Bernie, tell us again how Democrats are really no better, do the same thing anyway, yada yada. I missed your appearances yesterday and the day before.)

10. I can hear the RWNJ's now:

"Now is not the time to be talking about gun control."
Oh, and don't forget that they offer "thoughts and prayers" for all the victims...........and the perpetrators.

11. In a nation of over 300 million with all of the hate and racism here

it's surprising it does not happen more often.

12. Omg

Just turned on tv. Shocked

[underpants]

13. I've been out of the loop for just two days

I saw about El Paso yesterday. God GOD.

My daughter is at my Mom's so my wife and I have been kicking back in the new house. I rarely watch "news" on TV anymore and I will definitely avoid it today.
