There was another one last night too with 3 injuries but no fatalities. Three mass shootings within three miles in less than 10 days.
This was one of the ones I was commenting on. Seen similar incidents in Newberry and Richland county recently as well
What I hear them says is that the only way to teach them is to have libs mass redact a bunch of conservative crowds and they’ll see how they live with it.
Shit, might as well have qualified immunity for mass shooters, as long as they say that they’re shooting in the name of freedom.
looks like Texas if finally getting serious about extreme gun violence that kills dozens of Texas children every year drag shows
“I would never take a kid to a drag show, so I’m making it illegal for everyone else to be different than me.”
'I know I would never go to a drag show as I fear confronting the spiral of sexual confusion I would fall into upon witnessing such WERK'
Drag story time is pretty common at schools during pride month. Not a "show" per se but I'm sure these ass hats won't understand nuance
I thought this may be of interest to some in this thread (I don’t think it is limited to psychologists/psychiatrists). If anyone wants to watch it, let me know and I can DM the registration the link.
I feel like drag shows are like coal miners in that their importance/volume is insanely overestimated
I was in Colorado for a buddies daughters graduation and he and the guy I went with were congratulating that all their kids made it through high school without a school shooting. That made me feel weird and angry that this is where we are.
Boy what a baity headline. If politicians would just listen to these two distinguished social science researchers-- one from an average liberal arts college and the other from a community college-- we'd know that the common sense solution is simply to identify every troubled young person who's ever been abused and make them see a school psychologist
Praise for Uvalde shooter and call for copycats is growing online, Homeland Security warns In a U.S. Dept. of Homeland Security bulletin released Thursday, officials sounded the alarm over violent extremist content and misinformation following the shooting in Uvalde, Texas.

DHS officials explained that others have capitalized on the shooting—during which a lone gunman shot and killed 19 children and two teachers—to push conspiracy theories, including the false claim that the federal government faked the shooting to boost support for gun control measures. DHS officials also noted that the alleged perpetrator of a mass shooting that killed 10 in a majority-Black neighborhood of Buffalo, NY 10 days before the Uvalde shooting, was motivated by racist conspiracies he found online; the shooter that killed 23 in a majority Latinx neighborhood in El Paso in 2019 was animated by many of the same theories. Officials advised readers to “maintain digital and media literacy” and practice recognizing “false or misleading narratives” to protect themselves against proliferating misinformation. Mass shootings have fomented similar conspiracies in the past: after a gunman killed 20 kids at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut in 2012, Austin-based far-right provocateur Alex Jones pushed the lie that the federal government had staged the shooting to drum up support for gun control measures. After Buffalo, claims that the shooting was an orchestrated ‘false flag’ operation bubbled up again. Jones’ website ‘Infowars’ trumpeted that he’d predicted a false flag operation at a grocery store in the days after; an Arizona state lawmaker is now under investigation for endorsing the conspiracy on Telegram following the shooting. The bulletin comes as evidence of law enforcement’s calamitous mishandling of the shooting continues to emerge. Officers took more than an hour to enter the school after the attack began, as parents implored them to intervene. One Uvalde mother who rescued her two children from the school while the shooter was still inside said U.S. marshals tried to stop her by threatening her with arrest and handcuffing her. A New York Times story published Friday alleged that Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District Police Chief Pete Arredondo committed disastrous communication errors that slowed law enforcement’s response as the shooting unfolded.
Talked with a coworker today about the insane amount of mass shootings and the variety of locations in which they happen. Never thought of it before, but it makes sense in a ridiculous, sad sort of way. He said it wouldn’t be surprising for fashion companies or new start-up companies to make and sell fashionable (as much as possible) bulletproof vests and other garments. That our country is headed to the point that it will become the norm to grab your bulletproof gear as you leave home just like grabbing your jacket or coat. Nowhere in public is immune. So with no government intervention on the horizon, it seems like a logical progression.
You ever see the Tiktok video Charles Whitman made in the tower? or the selfies Howard Unruh took on his walk about?
