    Yeah, I wouldn't doubt that half of Republicans even know what their party votes against half the time.

    Trump won't change that. The NRA pays him well, and he is all about his own pockets overflowing.

    Having read the manifesto, is it known if she targeted non-whites?

    The cynical part of me is a teeny bit relieved she didn't Dylan Roof it up...

    Anyhow it's sad all around for the victims, even the child shooter who might've needed someone closer to look after her instead of a fellow weirdo she found on the internet.

    Such a horrific stat. Nobody kills children in schools like Americans do.

    Sounds like something you'd expect in one of the most dangerous 3rd world corrupt poor countries, but not a wealthy nation.

    Its really crazy how Americans have normalized school shootings. Here in Denmark the idea of someone shooting up a school is completely insane. We don't have gun violence here and it's great!

    Trump hasn't even mentioned it. That's disturbing in itself.

    I mean the government is about to shut down tomorrow cuz musk is upset. That means 2.1 million active troops won't get paid during the holidays when they need the money the most.

    MAGA movement is such a grift and filled with scumbags who don't care for the vulnerable citizens like our troops @AroundTheWorld these are crazy people

    But you have tremendous LEGO violence. I've seen people build large stacks then just jump on them breaking them to pieces.

    It is indeed. I don't understand that mentality myself. It breaks my heart every time. I wonder how it got to be this way? What's even more disgusting is when the outrage only depends on who the shooter is. That's sickening. It shouldn't matter whether the shooter was black, white, gay, straight, legal, illegal, Democrat, or Republican. I'm always sickened and outraged over this type biased ourage. I just don't get it. Maybe I'm different.

    It's like when people go crazy with news and media for "certain" missing children. Some barely make news, but if the child is wealthy or has prominent parents it's all that's talked about. Shows like Dateline are the same way. Most of the victim stories are young white girls or women, and most of the boys or men are white too.

    the self-hatred that this black school shooter had was at levels you’ll rarely see

    a 17 y/o black Nazi who posted about needing to do everything to advance the “Aryan race” and called black people the n****rs

    the internet has rotted so many brains

    he said he wanted to kill at least 10 people

    “These people are usually pretty entertaining, usually not for good reasons,” Phoenix Ikner, a political science major, said. “I think it’s a little too late, he’s [Trump] already going to be inaugurated on Jan. 20 and there’s not really much you can do unless you outright revolt, and I don’t think anyone wants that.”
