Of course she's not gonna talk because she likely knows that anything she says will further incriminate her in her role making the attack possible.

When did Trevor Lawrence join CNN?

Just saw this posted by a woman who is part of our friend group down here and after I stopped laughing I realized how insane it is, and that people are pushing a narrative that is so ridiculous and insanely false.



ETA: I’m still shaking from the misgendering

Oh I’m aware. There was a Trump must die scribble on one of the guns too I think.

But it seriously is a mental disorder. I used to think people were joking but the left is honestly broken and bordering on insanity.

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

Do you really want to fix it or not?

If you really do, include black males in with the trans people that you are going to shoot into the sun.

The crazy white folk shooting up schools account for a handful of deaths every year. This year, for instance, there have been eight school shootings with four deaths.

Black males account for thousands—maybe even over ten thousand—every year, happening in the background constantly, all the time.

And frankly, white people melting down only when white people are the ones (very occasionally) being killed instead of the steady stream of black males being killed is racist and indicative of white privilege.

Y'all don't identify or empathize with black men, who are 23 times more likely to be killed with a gun than a white man. Only when white people are the ones being shot.

23 times more likely. That's a lot. And we know that neither black nor white people are likely to be killed by a member of the other race...statistics show that people are overwhelmingly killed by a member of their own race.

Now that being the case, it can't be about the guns. Otherwise there would be a much more uniform pattern of gun homicides across racial groups. Guns are available to white people just like they are black people, and currently 38% of white people own guns vs only 24% of black people.

It's about what different groups choose to do with the guns they own.

So you tell me. How are we going to fix that?

People don’t give a shite because they expect and accept black people to constantly kill each other.

Clearly that's the case, but it presents a logical problem.

Because if that's just accepted, then it also has to just be accepted that we don't really have a "gun violence problem" in the US.

We have too many people committing suicide with guns, I'll agree with that. And those are mostly older white males.

Other than that, we've just got a bunch of black males shooting each other.

So is that normal and accepted and not attention-worthy, or isn't it?

Because the crazy white person shooting up a suburban mall or school—in the context of the fact that this is a country of 340 million people—is not much of an outlier when compared to other countries. That's not a "gun violence problem."

We may have a mental health problem with regard to the suicides. We may have a severe sub cultural problem in the black community.

But "we," as a country, as a whole, do not have a "gun violence problem."
