    But, you are against taking actions against those responsible. So, collectively, yes, being against punishing people or being against finding other avenues, yes, you are guilty.

    This is what happens when you say it's ok to shoot a kid wandering around his neighborhood.

    Like hell I am. Not sure how you would even conclude that.

    Never said that, either. :wtf:

    I saw a good amount of Republicans rage over the protesters outside the justices homes. They called it intimidation tactics that will get someone killed. Unsurprisingly, they have little to say about the Uvalde massacre except thoughts and prayers.

    You're telling me you think George Zimmerman is guilty of murdering Trayvon Martin?

    When you are aware of methods of preventing these incidents (and you are, no matter how much you fucking lie about it) and act to prevent those from being implemented, then yes, you as an individual must take responsibility for the consequence.

    Here's the full video.




    The police called out to see if anyone needed help, and a little kid said "I need help," the shooter heard it and shot them.

    Why is the US the only place in the world with this level of problem? What is different about people who live in the US?

    This is for the kids who die,
    Black and white,
    For kids will die certainly.
    The old and rich will live on awhile,
    As always,
    Eating blood and gold,
    Letting kids die.

    Kids will die in the swamps of Mississippi
    Organizing sharecroppers
    Kids will die in the streets of Chicago
    Organizing workers
    Kids will die in the orange groves of California
    Telling others to get together
    Whites and Filipinos,
    Negroes and Mexicans,
    All kinds of kids will die
    Who don’t believe in lies, and bribes, and contentment
    And a lousy peace.

    Of course, the wise and the learned
    Who pen editorials in the papers,
    And the gentlemen with Dr. in front of their names
    White and black,
    Who make surveys and write books
    Will live on weaving words to smother the kids who die,
    And the sleazy courts,
    And the bribe-reaching police,
    And the blood-loving generals,
    And the money-loving preachers
    Will all raise their hands against the kids who die,
    Beating them with laws and clubs and bayonets and bullets
    To frighten the people—
    For the kids who die are like iron in the blood of the people—
    And the old and rich don’t want the people
    To taste the iron of the kids who die,
    Don’t want the people to get wise to their own power,
    To believe an Angelo Herndon, or even get together

    Listen, kids who die—
    Maybe, now, there will be no monument for you
    Except in our hearts
    Maybe your bodies’ll be lost in a swamp
    Or a prison grave, or the potter’s field,
    Or the rivers where you’re drowned like Leibknecht

    But the day will come—
    You are sure yourselves that it is coming—
    When the marching feet of the masses
    Will raise for you a living monument of love,
    And joy, and laughter,
    And black hands and white hands clasped as one,
    And a song that reaches the sky—
    The song of the life triumphant
    Through the kids who die.

    "Kids Who Die," by Langston Hughes

    I do think there is a mental health component to it. Yes, many other countries have crazies, but we are the ones that resolutely refuse to do anything about it.

    But even that is not enough to explain it by itself.

    It's crazy people with access to guns.

    And our school shootings dwarf the rest of the world combined.

    God Ted Cruz is such a bitch. Can’t even answer relevant and important questions without deflecting and storming off like a child

    He does not give one flying fuck about the families of the children that died

    One of the worst human beings out there, his history speaks for itself

    All so he can emphatically lose a bid to be the next President

    Embarrassing

    Oh, I 'm all for taking steps that would actually prevent most of these incidents. I'm just not on board with empty symbolic gestures that serve no purpose beyond punishing innocent gun owners for the sin of not giving a fuck how you feel.

    We’re a nation governed by a grand delusion that our government will resort to tyranny and the only solution will be for armed citizens to rise up against it. Your average believer in this fallacy is overweight with a bunch of comorbidities. The type of guy who would shit a brick if bullets started flying.

    Now, I’m sure gun purchases will go up like they do after every child massacre. But when you already own copious guns, you aren’t protecting your family anymore. You’re fetishizing guns and making yourself part of the problem.

    Doesn't matter why anyone owns what they own. All that matters is whether they, as individuals, present an objectively imminent, direct threat to others.

    Worth pointing out that the only place to buy a gun legally in Mexico is the government ringing shop in Mexico City.

    Nearly all the illegal guns in Mexico came from the US :?:

    I won't even listen to that from them after they cheered over what little laws we had to keep guns away from crazies being repealed.
    They're lying right out of their sociopath fucking faces with any sort of "compromise".

    Your fantasies towards individualism are bullshit.
    Conservatives are a hive.
    All your talking points are cut-and-paste and predictable.
    You're fucking clones.
    Your hive is guilty.
    You are guilty.
    Fuck you.

    100? No.
    You're pro-choice.
    But given all it took to turn you transphobe was "think of the children!!" and "PC!! SJWs! :drama:" they'll find a way to talk you out of that pretty soon.

    And now the GOP want them distracted by having to think of ways to avoid telling the fucking truth if a kid asks them if they are married or why Billy has two Dads.

    I'm pro personal freedom in all areas. You're just playing that fucktarded game where I must endorse everything a person ever said or did in order to agree with them on a single point.

    6 Gods and Jesuses.
    7 if you read "moral decay" as code.

    And then, with all that God and Jesus "death penalty".
    Yeah, Jesus was really a fan of capital punishment.
    Aren't Republicans neat?
