A beautiful Saturday in Allen, Texas, great for shopping for just about anything. People going about this gorgeous day going in and out of multiple shops in the outlet mall just going about their own business, only to be sprayed with A.R. rifle gun fire for doing nothing at all wrong… Just shopping. Oh my word; the trauma that will last a lifetime for every person at that mall yesterday. There really are no words for little children who don’t have a face. No words for people being blown to bits on a sidewalk outside the mall store. HLM how many fingers were blown off how many arms or
legs - no longer intact too ghastly to comprehend or have to see. I want to say fuck every gun nut, every fucking politician, who will not rise to the occasion to take this on and make it stop!
People talk about the single issue voter. I am a single party voter. Ban assault weapons and have a buy back program, women’s productive/health rights, equality in all facets for the LGBTQ community, same justice for the poor as for the rich. I only see one party standing for that. You want to disqualify President Biden because of age? It is about the people he surrounds himself with who carry out his vision. These people who die in mass shootings aren’t dying because they are old. They are dying because a one party has backed Itself into a corner with all the crazies and think they will keep them in power. It is like giving children more and more candy until they are so hyped up on sugar, they are climbing the walls. Vote them out!
Vote every single Republican out of office. I wish it were easy on any level. Oh, and that good guy with a gun, well, he showed up and in seconds and it was still too late!
I really hope there's a Hell. I don't care about Heaven but I sure hope there's a Hell for these monsters. Not just the shooters, the murderers and maimers and terrifiers, but even more for those who have brought us to the present state. I hope they burn. Forever.
I just can't think anything positive about the state that sends the hugest, stinkiest, smelliest, most pungent pile of suppurating shit to the US Senate.
My grandchildren tell me time to time that their schools were locked down. It’s become normal to them. THIS should not be normal! THIS is a massive failure on the part of our government AND the citizens of this nation to DEMAND change! The United States has become a safe harbor for gun toting terrorists! Our nation is no longer safe for anyone!
No; not today. No rest on this Sunday, no peace. Just carnage the aftermath of another shooting. Taking innocent lives. Thank you Jeff for your inspiring post today.
Is anyone seeing any sign that this shit is changing any minds? As the shootings go from occasional to weekly to daily and now more than daily, all we see is distant footage of police vehicles and then pictures of the slaughtered from when they were alive.
It's all as cleaned-up as buying beef in the supermarket, all sanitized and wrapped.
We need to have ghoulish images of the dead, shove it in faces, THIS IS WHAT YOUR SECOND AMENDMENT MEANS.
We're about ten miles down the road from "desensitized."
And last night I sat in my rural home with neighbors on three sides out shooting in their yards, like anyone's normal Saturday evening, when a bullet hit my house right next to my front door, less than 10 feet from where I was sitting. After waiting for a break from shooting to verify what I thought happened, running back in the house when it started again. After another break I cautiously went back out to see about talking to the new most likely neighbor about it. Scared that I might get shot accidentally or on purpose because you never know how people will react, I cautiously walked the country distance to their house. He was very nice, apologetic, offered to fix it. I'm sure after seeing his shooting range, if you can call it that, it was a ricochet that hit my house. He offered to not shoot till he builds a better backstop. But that still means he will be shooting directly at my house or someone else's due to the layout of the properties.
I sometimes was nervous before about all the shooting around me but it never really felt REAL as I am not anti gun and saw the setup each of them have for ranges. Now it's real and I will forever be nervous about it when it starts up as it does quite often.
Sallie, you are 💯, and I feel EXACTLY the same way, with the addition of addressing climate change, renewable energy, environmentalism, and animal rights. I especially agree about Biden, and the people he surrounds himself with to carry out his vision. This is not my dad’s Republican Party. Vote them out. EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. 🤬👎🏼
The NRA needs to be abolished for starters. The dick members of Congress who take their money and wear their fking AR rifle pins need to be voted out and convicted of accomplices to every single murder that has occurred en masse and otherwise killed by sub-humans such as themselves. Fund mental health. And melt every GD AR rifle in this country. For starters.

I’m so tired of waking up everyday feeling like someone died (because they did).

"She had no face." What else do we need to know? Somebody shot her face off. There aren't enough tears....
What exactly are the praying assholes praying for when they say they’re praying? Praying assholes……
Clearly the inmates are running the asylum. With weapons of war no less. It’s outrageous & unconscionable.

Apparently, thoughts & prayers aren't bullet proof, anyone else noticed that?
While I certainly wouldn't volunteer someone else, maybe people need to see photographs of disintegrated people parts.
It's gonna take a nation-wide general strike. (Not to mention the biggest blue wave possible.)
We're not safe anywhere. I am obviously as upset as everyone else here.
