So Robert Crimo, the July 4th shooter, is a MAGAtard?


CBS showing the photo in the suit as him:


FOX News: “Thug Life wannabe rapper responsible for gang style shooting in affluent white suburb! Probably upset his YouTube and TikTok wasn’t getting enough likes…put the picture up EP…wait, what?? White MAGA guy…oh ffs take the photo down!”

Pretty amazing how Fox News is simply ignoring all of this. Completely ignoring this. Fox is ignoring this because they like most congressional republicans and like most republican state legislatures WANT to ignore this. They want to make this part of every day life in America. Just another risk everyone must take, like getting in a car accident or slipping on a banana. And frankly.... THIS is exactly where we are at, pretty much.

Well we'll well... can't say I'm surprised. Fucking asshats, the lot of them.

Following the mass shooting at a July 4 parade in Highland Park, Illinois, a Trump-backed gubernatorial candidate bluntly urged the community to “move on.” Standing next to supporters at a different parade, after taking a moment in prayer, state Sen. Darren Bailey, said: “Let’s move on and celebrate the independence of this nation.” He added, “We have got to get corruption and evil out of our government.”

Seriously that's amateur hour by US standards.

Absolutely tragic of course. But this happens once...in a blue moon? While here in the US it's a regular occurrence. Shit, after the first year of COVID, it was like "oh we haven't had one of these in a long time"

The danish shooter is well known in the psychiatric treatment system, and will probably spend most of his life in a secured facility now.

But regarding to casualties, I guess it is good that it is not possible to legally have access to full auto weapons, then it possible would have been much higher.

I'm sorry to hear that these kind of things are normal in the US.

please don't take my comment as callousness towards the people of Denmark - it's entirely a dig at our failure in the United States to enact meaningful change and to do something that actually might protect people from harm.

"Lets move on" says the fat lazy nazi party.
Meanwhile Fox News spent all day posting stories about Democrats who want to "cancel" independence day.
I'm not kidding. Go look it up.
Are you fucking kidding me? The war on Independence Day? To go along with Christmas, Thanksgiving? These deplorables are shameless

Now that we know this creep is a MAGAtard Fox will bury the story. More coverage of Biden stuttering.

I didn't really pick up on this until today with all the news about the Uvalde *Schools* Police chief.
Uvalde is a town of 15k people. Why the fuck is there a chief of police for the schools???? For a town of 15k people?

We went really really sideways somewhere and that's part of the path.

Keane ISD in Texas has a police choice and I believe four offices. City population you ask? About 6000. In Texas school districts can create their own police departments or contract with other departments for services. It used to just be the big urban districts that had their own police departments but in the last 5 or so years a bunch of smaller districts, in mostly conservative towns, started their own departments.

And another shooter box checked:

"The mayor said several of Crimo’s online postings 'reflected a plan and a desire to commit carnage for a long time in advance' ”

Actually Stacey Abrams dares to pay for security and advocate for gun control at the same time. She doesn't want you to be safe. So on a day of mass shootings Fox basically runs with "everyone should have murder toys".

Of course Faux News attempting to hand wave this away. Like why should gun violence distract from Independence Day celebrations. Nothing more freedom defining than gun!!!!

Yet another instance where a "good guy with a gun" doesn't work. Can you imagine if this was Texas all the random people people firing back in a crowded parade? Would have killed more people. Also, when police arrive, how do they identify the "good guy" with the gun?

Police just need to shoot and kill everyone with a firearm who doesn't look like a police officer with a badge. Simple as that. The only good guys are those in uniform.

That's exactly how the black security guard Jemel Roberson was killed and he was detaining a perp while working. Cops shot the first black guy they found.

I mean, since they shoot unarmed men for walking down the sidewalk does it really even matter?
