Shooting at Florida high school

So you don’t really want to talk about practical solutions, you just want to ban guns.

I guess @Nova forgot how we left Vietnam.

Wow, Shoes, you've really drank some serious retardation potion lately, I though t you were a nice guy, but....ohhhh...FF stole your avatar, I get it now.
Neeevermiiind.

The point is that John is using an emotional response rather than a reasoned response to suggest congress should do the right thing, yet doesn’t describe what the right thing is.

There's criticizing them which is fine, and then there's implying that they're hired actors that are part of some false flag operation, which is what YOU do and is not fine.

Yeah, what's up with people using shoes' av? I keep reading things and thinking hmmm.....that doesn't sound like shoes.....wonder why he's so.....aggressive lately? Oh.....it's not him.

Who gives a shit if you think it’s fine.

So edgy

Hey now, Andruil, I used to think you were a nice guy, but...oh, wait, no one has stolen your avatar, and I always thought you were garbage.
Neeeevermiiiind!

Yes, but are they willing to give reciprocity accross all states for conceal carry?

Yeah, all those Shoes avatars are confusing and sexy.

Wait...what?

It's not fine.

It makes dealing with this issue harder for gun rights people when idiots like you are spamming false news.

I briefly raised an eyebrow when I saw this kid was in two states but once you look into it you realize it's just garbage. He lived in California. He moved to Florida. He's not a crisis actor faking that he was in the shooting. He does go to that school and he was there that day. And you don't even have to look very deep to establish that the conspiracy around him is garbage.

STOP TALKING TO YOURSELF!!!!

This coming from the guy who possibly killed an old lady and ran away.

Hey big boy.

Shoes is out of the shower?

How soon until it's Woman Afraid of Her High Heels?

Did you miss the part where I stole his avatar?

I was making a joke since I knew it was you but you have his avatar.

But apparently you're offended that I said it was him coming out of the shower because you're the one coming out of the closet by hitting on ShootER and apparently want everyone to know it.

How soon until your name is Federal Gaping Asshole?

Already happened, unless you're Benjamin Button and we have to do reverse spoiler tags now too.

Actually I was joking with ShootER and my ass will never be gaping and I'm not gay, but you can suck it and kiss my ass.

I don't know, do you and Dayton need lessons on quote tags?

I doubt it...but I don't really care about that one way or another.

No, he's doing plenty. And the more you attack and belittle the more help he is.

If you think that's always been the case, you're wrong — despite the unpopular war in Vietnam and the swirling cultural revolution, Richard Nixon won under-30 voters in 1972. Ronald Reagan and Jimmy Carter split young voters evenly in 1980, while Reagan and George H.W. Bush crushed it with the young in '84 and '88. Bill Clinton carried the youth vote in 1992 and 1996, but then George W. Bush tied Al Gore in 2000 with 18- to 24-year-olds and only barely lost the 25-29 bracket.

Something remarkable began happening in 2004, though. That's the year John Kerry carried the under-30 vote by 9 points. And the next three presidential elections saw Democrats demolishing their opponents with young people by 34, 23, and 19 points. While the GOP's position with young voters has gotten better since 2008, the situation remains dire. There is simply no precedent for such a yawning gap in a party's fortunes with America's youngest voters over the course of four presidential cycles since pollsters started collecting this kind of data. And it is an ominous sign about the future of the Republican Party

Keep in mind those are just vote totals. The difference in lean left v lean right is even more stark (a lot just didn't show up for Hillary, banking that year in year out seems dangerous).

And unlike the conventional narrative that people get more conservative as they age that isn't actually true anymore. With the exception of the Silent Generation and the old edge of the boomers there isn't a shift with age. Those Silent Generation and older Boomers did shift Republican during the political/racial realignment but that appears to be a one time thing. No one else is making that shift, which is why the Republican Party is trending older and older.

So yeah, keep making fun of the kids.

Meh. So I associate Anduril with gaping assholes.

It's the Paul Wellstone memorial all over again

God I hope democrats run on this in the midterms

Now Trump is claiming he would have bravely ran into the school even if he did not have a gun. Yeah, sure, fat boy would have. He can't even walk short distances plus he has always been a noted coward so his bravado is suspect to say the least.

Yeah, that's a pretty ridiculous claim.

Ya trumps an idiot.

Sherrif israel is incompetent

Scott peterson is a coward

He's very brave

Why do you claim the Sheriff is incompetent? He can only really be held responsible for things he knew about or at most should have known about. As for Officer Peterson he seems to have followed proceedure by calling for back up before going in but he likely did wait too long. Ideally one doesn't plug blindly into an unknown situation and while I do think he could have done more it does seem unreasonable to expect him to be Rambo for $22 an hour especially since the shooter was reportedly firing on students from an elevated position in a shairwell window into a courtyard (at least at the beginning) so his handgun wouldn't have been much good. Finding an alternat entrence probably would have been prudent for when the shooter left the stairwell but I honestly don't know the department policies so I will not pass judgement on claims about cowardly behavior.

Combat is the type of situation one never really knows how they will handle it until they have been there themselves.
