Only in America do we repeatedly and angrily insist, over the bodies of our dead gunshot children, that guns have nothing to do with gun violence.

Ah, well, what matters is respecting norms.

“Thoughts and prayers!” They were literally praying. Much like the Charleston Church shooting and the Sutherland Church shooting.

To continue perceiving extreme racism as normative and not pathologic is to lend it legitimacy. Clearly, anyone who scapegoats a whole group of people and seeks to eliminate them to resolve his or her internal conflicts meets criteria for a delusional disorder, a major psychiatric illness.

The common denominator in mass shootings is guns. Republicans always want to blame mental illness, and then cut funding for programs to address mental illness identification and intervention. People all over the world have mental illness, but no where near the easy access to guns. I call bullshit

But also, can we agree that gun violence is a redundant term? Guns are inherently violent.

The GOP answer is more guns, less regulation, and lower age limits. When will the Republican voters realize they are the problem?

But now is not the time to discuss gun regulation. And neither is the next time. And the time after that. And the time after that.

Pretty sure no one is happy. Especially MAGA, who you would think would be dancing in the streets with joy from all the cruelty being handed out.

We have three destructive cults in our midst: MAGA, gun lovers, and right-wing Christian evangelicals. All are immune to facts, logic, and devoid of genuine empathy.

I am so glad you are here because I need someone that tethers me to the idea that law enforcement is not and has not been okay with this kind of complacency. And I’m also glad for all the Skinnerville puppies and amazing kitties.

It’s sad that Americans never watched the CBC or CTV etc. Still pretty trust worthy but we do have a couple of Provinces too close to believing the whole FoX News bullshit.
