Someone just shot up a Catholic mass full of school children in Minneapolis

[allisolm]

He will no doubt. He's going to use it to attack Democrats and then will send the national guard in to help ICE arrest black and brown people.

Yupp. He just took control of Union Station in D.C. away from Amtrak saying he wants to make it beautiful. Somehow I see things going way beyond that.

Holy shit this is so sad.

My 5 year old started Kindergarten this week and has been very anxious about us leaving him in the morning, although he's already gotten better after only 3 days. I can't IMAGINE something like this happening in school 3 days into it. Like my brain isn't able to process it.

So sad...

When Sandy Hook happened my son was the same age. Even though it's not really a thing here it still rocked me to the core knowing they were basically the same kids as everyone else he was in class with here.

Shooter identified. Trump will downplay response. Nothing can be done. Random tragedy. No mention of thugs, crime or guns. He might talk about mental illness and then try to move on.

If you search enough you will find a video the shooter allegedly took before carrying out the act. The video shows the door jams, guns, bullets, smoke grenades. All of the items have evil psychopathic writing on them about god not existing, children deserving to be killed, etc. There appears to be a manifesto as well.

Hmm when is Alex jones going to call it a false flag operation

The Gunman appears to be a 23-year old man who lives with his parents. His mother at one point worked for the church. He had an obsession with other mass shooters, including Adam Lanza.

Unfortunately some of the initial news coming out shows that the shooter may have been trans. This is going to cause a massive shitstorm if true.

 

[HomerJS]

Do we know if the kids got to pray before being shot? Need to know if I should send thoughts and prayers or just thoughts.


/S

This needs to end the proforma response of "thoughts and prayers". That it literally what they were doing when shot and killed.

The hospital nearby said they have "Six children and one adult in critical condition Two other pediatric patients and an adult have non-life-threatening injuries."

Apparently social media posts purportedly from the shooter show notebooks with pro-LGBTQ stickers and messages. Hoo boy. Get ready for some National Guard up in Minneapolis Mr. Walz.

That's concerning. Another group Trump likes to demonize.

Also had writings about killing Trump. Not that I take any stock in any of it since you have to just be pure evil to do what this person did.

We will never be able to stop the mentally ill from doing evil until we recognize they are mentally ill and treat them instead of affirming who they are not.

 

[Fenixgoon]

We will never be able to stop the mentally ill from doing evil until we recognize they are mentally ill and treat them instead of affirming who they are not.

Or maybe, just maybe, we don't need more guns than people in this country?

 

[eelw]

We will never be able to stop the mentally ill from doing evil until we recognize they are mentally ill and treat them instead of affirming who they are not.

But the question like always, does the US have more mentally ill people? ITS THE GUNS FULL STOP!!!

Yeah, I figured that's why you were here, chickenshit. No commentary on all the shootings performed by people just like you though, huh?

 

[purbeast0]

Or maybe... JUST MAYBE... we can try to make policies to help both the gun problem AND the mental health problem.

And it's not my job to come up with the solution so don't say "OKAY THEN GENIUS WHAT DO WE DO?"

Although I definitely don't have any confidence in the current administration that they could come up with any kind of solution that helps in any minuscule way.

Why can’t we figure out how to take guns away from mentally ill people??

Hint: the problem isn’t with our healthcare system…

Mayor has already said people are hating on the trans commnity and it needs to stop. FBI director said he is treating this as domestic terrorism and a hate crime against Catholics. Now I know why. Trump never lets one of his listed demonized groups escape from his attacks.

IMO - we will find the issue here is someone in his mental state getting his hands on weapons.

Don't listen to conservatives "thoughts and prayers" with no action. Africans have the wisdom here. A wise lesson.

You may have put this in the wrong thread. If he gets wind of a mass DC protest he will shutdown the station.

Conservatives are so fucking gross.

Then killed himself. Sprayed bullets into the pews as children were attending mass after returning to school this week from summer break. Initial reports of at least 20 shot.

https://www.cnn.com/us/live-news/annunciation-catholic-school-minneapolis-shooting-08-27-25

We need gun control in this country now. Ban semiautomatic rifles. No bump stocks, no tracer rounds, other bullshit accessories designed to increase killing efficiency. Universal registration system. Universal background checks.

We're failing our society if we don't.

It's too soon to politicize this issue. And immediately after it's too soon, it will be too late.
