Does this fall under, "Gun stuff is fun stuff?" or is it "Gun stuff is butt stuff?" I forget this crap.

Are you sure? WallStreetGuy has him down as possibly Levantine.

Another clear cut case of failure of mental health care.

Another clear cut case of failure of mental health care.

Yes - you certainly are.

 

[AchtungNight]

Ugh. Not again. Why does this crud keep happening?

I will plug my favorite film concerning such issues- Paul Ryan’s Home Room, which humanizes the victims- and then move on. Best not to spend too much time in direct discussion of such issues.

Or you could listen to the song 'Somewhere In America'.

Much of the nation is mentally ill. Some of the mental illness starts with gaslighting, people being pressured to accept an official narrative or similar BS instead of what they personally witness and experience. That results in paranoia, schizophrenia, conspiracy theories, and general distrust.

So you blame MAGAts, FOX "news", Elon Musk, Qanon, and the entire right wing disinformation operation in America and around the world???

Glad to see you’re finally starting to get it.

So what you are saying is, shut down the propaganda “news” channel?

I think most sane folks are for that. It will cut down on that confusion.

No combat deployments for the shooter.

New House Speaker Mike Johnson just used the deaths of innocents to push religion as the solution.

They found the shooter's Twitter profile.
Bare-bone account, used mostly for "liking" far-right reactionaries.
Ironically, his "likes" mirror our own AJ's "likes" almost 100%!

• Elon Musk (primarily)
• Dinesh D'Souza
• Catturd
• Tucker Carlson
• Trump Jr.
• Jim Jordan
• David Sacks
• Jordan Peterson
• Vivek Ramaswamy

Are you familiar with the phrase “rhetorical question”?

You would think a concerned citizen with a gun would have killed him PDQ.

For now, I see 18 and 13. At one point last night it was 22 and 50-60.
