For all the misinformation circulating: No, it is not legal anywhere in the US for the shooter to buy or own an M4. It is a military grade semi-automatic/automatic rifle and only a special person submitting a pile of special paperwork can own this weapon.
The coverage so far is ... curious. Lionizing the deceased officer. That would be predicted. But no mention of the other victims. They may not yet be known, but they're referred to in passing, as numbers. And that's it. It doesn't look good.
Conservatives keep invoking it like it’s some magic spell that could undo centuries of systemic injustice and prevent gun violence. It didn’t. It won’t. What it did do was terrorize communities of color while doing nothing to prevent tragedies like the one we’re mourning now.
Ban guns!!!!
Just tragic
2nd Amendment: "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." Gun-nuts think we need guns to protect us from government (the State), but the words say they're for the security of the State.
THIS SHOULD NOT BE NORMAL! Amazing! In 6 months of ICE on our streets, a man in a bulletproof vest with assault rifle can walk down NY's Park Ave & not be noticed. No One called 911 or stopped him This is tRumps Golden Age Desensitize the public to HIS atrocities VIGELENCE! WE NEED TO BE BETTER!
Trumps America 🤬
Explain to me, please, how on Earth a documented mental patient is not only allowed to buy weapons as he can obtain a concealed weapon permit???! How can this be??? It is sheer craziness!!!
He didn't look crazy to the seller. He look just like those two and the white people thought it was alright and very cute for them to do and alright to witness them doing it. 👇🏾
A non-violent protest was going on and they were outside guns drawn! Rittenhouse was another example and he was definitely mentally off in the bucket. Fired his gun killing one and injuring another man. Went to court and they fed him pizza then let him go.
About 20 Ukrainian UAVs hit Russian positions in Donetsk causing damages to Putin militants.
Guns are a major problem. Also, laws to treat mental illness were first changed under Bush W. and treatment and care has been under funded ever since. Republicans cutting healthcare will elevate this problem. God help us all 🙏 .
“Why do Americans” continue to seek these types of scenes out as a solution? I think since George W. Bush last left office Democrats have called it correctly. There’s no hope on the streets of America any longer. With this new administration, the light that once was has gotten even dimmer.
Finally, let’s continue spreading the police state further insulating the haves from the have nots. Big money to be made spreading digital surveillance among other forms of state sanctioned violence against its citizenry. The cracks of hope are there. Just need to vote out the “Pedigrees”.
But let’s go on doing what we’ve been doing. Separating the Police Officers death from that of his peers who also died. Let’s keep taking away services from people. Let’s keep paying people shit wages while raising the price of everything.
America is not safe thanks to the Republicans.
Yet it seems to be liberals doing all the violence
Only if you watch Fox news all the time.
I don’t see conservatives shooting up schools, killing CEOs, driving through crowds, rioting or looting stores lately. But I do see a lot of liberals doing it. Even the global terrorist index shows over the past 8 years left wing radicals surpass right wing by 3x the amount.
As I said, just stop watching Fox and you won't see crime politicized. Fox will always ignore crime committed by right wingers and emphasize any crime committed by others.
Bro I don’t watch fox lol. But I do read statistics.
Quote them to me to prove your point.
I did. Read into the global terrorist index a non partisan per reviewed study. Go to western states and you can find everything you need there.
Also do the past 5 years and you will see the up tick in left leaning terrorist acts.
But you can't name one, never mind an uptick.
And Putin.
NYC shooting vs Republican states and their shootings 🧵thread bsky.app/profile/edhi...
Is it common to walk the streets of NY in broad with a rifle in your hand? Asking for a friend. Two people are within feet of the suspect. Not sure if they were victims.
No, but the streets of America are not safe as there are over 300 million guns in circulation and no way to keep them out of the wrong hands. Serious, effective gun control is blocked by Republicans and their Supreme Court.
Your "expert" Jim Cavanaugh is not advancing an intelligent discussion or imparting any useful information. Why is he there, Stephanie?

When a white guy does this they take several days, if at all to release a photo. And their motives are "a mystery". Brown or black guy does it and their face is on every news outlet within hours.
Haven't republicans said it's UNconstitutional to keep guns away from those with mental illness?
Am I seeing him carrying a large conspicuous gun in broad daylight? And he is able to walk around like this in public and enter a building???
