I am not a gun person but I think I am going to be for protection at home.....my luck I would be to tired and disoriented if anyone broke into my house late at night and I would not have a chance to get into a gun safe in time to actually do anything. I am looking into conceal and carry simply because people are too quick to anger over dumb ****.........we shall see, crazy times Keith, crazy times
Alleged Florida State University shooter Phoenix Ikner touted vile “white supremacist” views, according to his classmates — including that “Rosa Parks was in the wrong” and that black people were destroying his community. Ikner, who allegedly killed two people and wounded six others when he opened fire on campus Thursday, horrified other students with his “gross” racial rhetoric. One classmate from Ikner’s former school, Tallahassee State College, recalled how he was asked to leave a “political roundtable” club over his hate speech. these are the devils we should be deporting to El Salvador…it’s these vile, disgusting trash that are ruining this country
It's about mental health. I don't care about any of the demographics of any of the shooters other their mental health issues because plenty of people need help.
To be fair, the post he responded to said school shootings not mass shootings. Until Democrats address the demographics address all shootings they will not make any progress on the gun issue
How am I mixing them? I specifically said I was talking about school shootings, not mass shootings. The post I responded to said school shootings. You are the one apparently mixing them. If you go back and review my posts, you will find I was correct every time, despite people dogpiling me.
I was curious and did a search. Broadly held, you are right. https://rockinst.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Overview-American-School-Shooting-Study-TASSS.pdf Key Findings on Racial Demographics 1. The American School Shooting Study (TASSS) This National Institute of Justice-funded study analyzed 253 school shootings (1990–2016) involving adolescent perpetrators: • 58% Black • 28% White • 9% Latino • 5% Other Caveats: • Scope: Included all firearm discharges on school grounds (e.g., accidental, gang-related, interpersonal disputes). • Accidental discharges (11% of cases). • Geographic bias: 62% occurred in Southern states with higher Black populations. • Non-fatal incidents: 58% of cases caused no deaths. When isolating targeted attacks (premeditated violence against specific victims): • 53% White • 24% Black • 14% Latino If anyone wants to walk on eggshells and couch the context, school shootings by black perpetrators are generally not some mental health issue and more of an environmental health hazard we as a society neglect and run as far away as possible with self segregating neighborhoods. White shootings are more targeted or mass casualty events where we throw out "mental health talk it out give a hug issues" as a way for richer people to feel in control as a solvable or manageable problem... This might be offensive. Should I include trigger warning?
Democrats are focused on helping young males. They however shoot themselves in the foot when only addressing guns when mass shootings happen. Conservatives are obviously thinking you want to make it harder for law abiding citizens to defend ourselves and you ignore everyday crime.
That was another corporate assassination attempt. Dipshit wanted to shoot up the NFL C-suite and went to the wrong floor.
another mass shooting today…this time at a Catholic school in Minnesota 2 kids dead and at least 17 wounded shooter is so all over the place I don’t even know what the angle is with this one was apparently trans, but also a Nazi, racists towards Mexicans and Black people, said to kill Trump, but also said Brandon Herrera, a republican, should be President…worshiped other school shooters as well Idk if this is a product of mental illness mixed with online brain rot or what it’s a shame that someone like this has such easy access to guns…with a person this crazy, surely there were signs
We need leaders that want to bring the people of our country together, not separate and divide, not demonize certain groups. Hatred toward others just creates more hatred. Things are getting worse by the day.
would have never happened if biden were in office...as biden would have either slept through it or his DEI/LGBTQ+ initiatives would have made this person feel more accepted and included. GOOD DAY
This should ideally start with us at an individual level - and then forward (families, communities, country etc) If we are so mesmerized by politicians, celebrity figures and social media to the point that we don’t know not to hate each other and commit atrocities, it seems like a real failure of the home first and foremost. Is the age of the internet and social media killing our society? Quick someone make it trendy to be decent again.
Should Trump issue an executive order banning the sale of weapons to the trans people? MAGA would have some internal conflict over that one.
