I feel like there's an opportunity for a skilled Democratic politician to craft a speech, without mentioning Trump by name, that argues that this violence is emerging from an atmosphere of heightened hate.

One of the people killed in the Ohio shooting was the gunman's little sister.

This leads me to believe killing her was the main motivation and everyone else was collateral damage. That said, thank fuck he got murked before he could shoot off 100 rounds of ammo. Why the fuck would anyone need that much in a single clip outside of literal war?

I started the original iteration of this thread back on the old board and often wondered was it a hyperbolic thread title and premise? and who am I to be questioning these guys about what happens in their own country?
It’s a good 7 or 8 years later and it’s still happening.
Is there no loophole or outta the box thinking that can take these nra nuts out of the equation and put a stop to it at source?

6 beer post I’m sorry. Just so hard seeing this happening all the time and worse that it and those enabling and profiting aren’t confronted and shut down.

Anyways.

On a post of a friend in Facebook about misogyny and racism connected to these shooters, one of their friends posted: "Veganism helps with all of this. It is not a diet. It is a lifestyle and way of being."

Guys, I straight up wept this morning listening to the story of the two parents who died shielding their 2-month old from the attack.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?
