Something to restore my faith in humanity after a bunch of disgusting shite that’s been said the past two days.

So you’re fine with your child being shot at school as long as the shooter isn’t trans?

The odds of my child being shot at school will go down if trannies are launched into space

We r numb to mass blood shed in US. Kids or no kids, meh.

Habituation.

Greatest country in the world.

I travel all over the world.

Something ain’t right.

You progressives are all mentally ill. That is all there is to it.

This looks like a typical 4Cubbs reply on the politard board.

You people are fricking sick.

You have no qualms about stereotyping every trump supporter as a racist nazi, but god forbid someone notice the violence your side encourages and follows through with.

You can't coexist with idiots that have your thought process. You are truly a piece of shite. Congrats.

And shocking, apparently the father was a contractor for the CIA:

Has someone else besides this dude confirmed this?

And here’s what I learned about ESRI from Grok:

ESRI (Environmental Systems Research Institute, Inc., commonly stylized as Esri) works with the U.S. intelligence community, including the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), primarily through its GIS (geographic information system) software and services that support geospatial intelligence (GEOINT) operations. While direct public contracts between Esri and the CIA are not explicitly detailed in available sources—likely due to the classified nature of intelligence work—Esri’s deep integration with the broader U.S. Intelligence Community (IC) and specific references to CIA involvement substantiate this collaboration. Below, I’ll outline the key evidence and context.

Esri’s Role in U.S. Intelligence and Defense

Esri is a leading provider of GIS software (e.g., ArcGIS platform), which is widely used for mapping, spatial analysis, and data visualization in national security contexts. The company has long-standing partnerships with U.S. government agencies, including those in the IC, where GIS tools help integrate data from sensors, imagery, and human sources to support decision-making, threat assessment, and operations.

• Contracts with Intelligence-Affiliated Agencies:
• In 2018, the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA)—a key IC member focused on GEOINT—awarded Esri a multi-year contract to deploy ArcGIS enterprise-wide. This supports NGA’s mission to provide geospatial data to policymakers, the military, intelligence agencies (explicitly including the CIA), and first responders. NGA’s work directly feeds into CIA analysis, as GEOINT is a foundational element of CIA intelligence production.
• Esri’s software is used across the IC for tasks like movement analysis, patterns-of-life monitoring, and multi-domain integration (e.g., combining satellite imagery, signals intelligence, and human intelligence). ArcGIS AllSource, a specialized intelligence analysis tool from Esri, enables link analysis, 3D mapping, and data fusion in secure environments, including air-gapped networks common in IC operations.

• Historical and Leadership Ties to the CIA:
• A prominent example is Susan (Sue) Gordon, who served over 25 years at the CIA (including as director of the CIA’s Information Operations Center and senior cyber adviser to the CIA director) before becoming deputy director of NGA in 2015. In a 2017 Esri interview, Gordon highlighted Esri’s ArcGIS as integral to NGA’s cloud migration and humanitarian efforts (e.g., using ArcGIS Online for real-time disaster response during Hurricane Matthew). She emphasized GIS as the “foundation” for GEOINT services shared across the IC, including with the CIA. This underscores Esri’s role in tools that CIA personnel would access or contribute to during inter-agency collaborations.

• Broader IC and Defense Engagement:
• Esri holds contracts with the Department of Defense (DoD), such as a 2016 SeaPort-e indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract for GIS services to the U.S. Navy, which supports IC-related operations. The UK’s Ministry of Defence (a close U.S. ally) signed a £46 million (~$60 million USD) enterprise agreement with Esri UK in 2023 for GIS tools in field operations, GEOINT analysis, and data management—mirroring U.S. IC uses.
• Esri’s defense and intelligence community resources explicitly target IC missions, including support for the five intelligence disciplines (HUMINT, SIGINT, GEOINT, MASINT, OSINT). The company hosts annual events like the Esri Federal GIS Conference, where IC professionals discuss applications in counterterrorism, counterintelligence, and national security.
• Public discussions (e.g., on forums like Reddit’s r/gis) note that defense and intelligence agencies are Esri’s largest revenue sources globally, with tools used for everything from target selection to incident response. Esri’s involvement in IC contracts is facilitated through vehicles like the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) and DoD Enterprise Software Initiative (ESI), which streamline procurement for classified environments.

Like I said, shoot every trans person into the sun, what are your ideas to fix the gun violence problem after that?

Cry all you want no one wants to answer the questions.

they would rather ignore 99% of the problem and pretend they can kill 2 birds with 1 stone

Guns don’t kill people. People kill people. Almost all gun violence is committed by illegally obtained guns. Making guns illegal wouldn’t solve the problem. Removing criminals and mentally ill people from society would solve the problem.
