This world is terrifying. Especially for us parents. The shooter was 18 years old! What is going on with our kids?!
Teacher and 14 pupils killed in Texas school shooting
I hate to bring abortion into it, but it applies. These antis oppose abortion. And then people who shouldn’t have kids, don’t want kids, can’t afford kids, and don’t have time to raise them properly have kids. And then this is what those unwanted, uncared-for, unloved kids become.
PS – I’ve updated to what I think is the correct photo.
A eighteen year old kid has a forty thousand dollar truck and a eight hundred dollar gun? Hmm.
If he hadn't been killed and if he either had blue eyes or blond hair or both I'm sure he'd be a guest on Tucker and go on tour as a right wing hero, like Kyle Rittenhouse.
But don't guns make people safer? And Texas has lots and lots and lots of guns. Texas should be the safest place in the entire world.
Guns aren’t permitted in schools. How could it happen with those gun laws in place???
@CourtJester article says he is believed to have been killed by officers
But we was permitted to have one there. He started off mike’s away though. So there’s that.
Try saying to any raving gun-toting lunatic in the United $tates of Atrocities and you risk having your head blown off.
And nothing will get done. Just more "thoughts and prayers". These politicians DO NOT CARE! They won't care until it happens in their neighborhood, their school, their grocery store. Until that happens they will sit there with their thumbs up their asses, offering "thoughts and prayers" which does absolutely nothing and collect payments from the gun lobbyists. They all have blood on their hands every single time this happens.
The one thing all those politicians care about is having their billions of dollar in the bank. Human life is cheap.
Oh look... he wasn't a white guy so he didn't get to walk away in handcuffs.
Shooting one’s self in the head tends to negate the need for handcuffs
It has reached the point where mental defectives with guns going around and killing people is no longer news.
Welcome to the New Normal in the United $tates of Absurdity, the United $tates of Atrocities.
CBS News just now...
"What you can do to help in addition to prayer is to donate blood."
Like that is going to bring back the dead!
@anglophone - the prayers prior never work.
Crazy twist. Apparently the police were in pursuit of the perp after he shot his grandmother dead, who then entered the elementary school.
I may have misinterpreted the report, but that's what it sounded like they were saying.
#M4ANOW... mental, dental, and health.
This would save lives too. Many lives.
How about you start looking at yourself, you are part of the problem by being okay with guns being so readily being available in the US. Nowhere else in the world is this going on, nowhere.
@TheMiddleWay Yes, you are right there. I think that the second amendment is no longer valid. It was about fighting the British not each other. About time that the people in the US realised it.
@TheMiddleWay they forget that the constitution was created to be changed when necessary, and has been many times.
The historical need for everybody to be armed ceased to exist once the English Crown decided to allow the USA to go its own way. That small point is lost on the small brains of those in power in the United $tates of Absurdity.
@JonnaBononna Then WHY in the name of F*** don't they amend it to set in LAW Gun and Firearms Legislations to PREVENT these things from happening?
Is that so far BEYOND the average I.Q. of any American Law-maker and Citizens or something?
P.s. It is a secret BUT, the British are no longer planning to invade, neither are Spanish, the Mexicans, etc, etc, so the Threat of Invasions are ALL in your tiny deranged little minds.
@Triphid don't ask me. I'd have amended it years ago.
Realistically; more people have died in car wrecks today. Why don’t you want to ban cars???
I have several and they’ve never killed a human. Outside of some seriously dangerous situations, they never will.
It has to boggle the mind that these things tend to typically happen in gun-free zones and cities.
@CourtJester You are actually wrong.
Firearms killed more children and adolescents in 2020 than car accidents, which had long been the leading cause of death for young people, a Washington Post analysis has found.
The change was caused by a 30 percent increase in gun deaths for people 19 and younger in 2020. Gun deaths continued to outpace cars for that age group in 2021, The Post found, as the rate of gun killings increased an additional 8 percent.
Besides there is work done to prevent car accidents but nothing about is done about firearms killings.
@Jolanta
Sorry. Far more car deaths than cars.
See attached.
@CourtJester Who are this mob? Who pays them. My figures are from 2021 = 2022. Seems like you are looking for justifications to carry guns.
@Jolanta
I don’t need justification. We have the second amendment and Alabama doesn’t require a permit.
Absolutely zero justification needed.
@CourtJester It is time to get rid of the second amendment. It was there to fight the British not to kill each other.
@Jolanta
Why don’t you relocate to a state or country that restricts guns. California, New York, and Illinois are perfectly safe not allowing guns. Or England. Now England largely outlawed guns. Their knife crimes are throw the freaken roof, but hey; kids are dying from a common kitchen tool rather than bullets so it’s all good.
@CourtJester I don't need to I live in a country that doesn't have this problem. After we had a massacre in 1996 the laws about guns were tightened and since then we have had no gun massacres. Yes there is a problem with knife violence, mainly in young men.
@Jolanta
You should ban knives
@CourtJester Twat. You should ban carrying knives.
This asshole shot his own grandmother before killing little kids!
