but, every person killed in America has a soul and everyone will be judged one day.
I understand that because of the circumstances of the school shootings, they get more attention, but what about the guy in the subway that worked for Goldman Sachs? What about the people killed in cities every week?
Why don’t we hear from the president on a regular bases after another weekend of deadly shootings in places like Chicago?
Is or simply because they are ran by Democrats? Is it because they already have strict gun laws that don’t work? Or is it perhaps more sinister? Does Joe think that black lives being killed in Democrat cities are somehow not as important as other lives?

Because there’s something about a man walking into an elementary school and killing very small children that society finds particularly horrific and stirs unique emotions, even compared to high school shootings. I think most people understand how someone gets to the point where they can take a gun and shoot adults or almost adults. Nobody understands this.

Two gang members shooting one another is much different that elementary school children being shot up by a crazed Tranny...

No comparison...one is much more sinister

For politicians... it has never been about actually caring about the lives of others. It's about propping up tragedies to exploit our bleeding hearts to gain political power. I guess their research and studies have discovered that school shootings are the most impactful for their strategy. School shootings and black deaths by policemen.


It's best to avoid it all. Don't pay much attention to whichever tragedy they prop up. Not because you're heartless, but because you know establishment is trying to make it as heartbreaking as possible for you, and because you know those talking about it in DC and in the media don't actually give a frick about the victims or their families. They only use the event to manipulate the caring public. Manipulate the public into demanding our government have more authoritarian control over everyone.

While a shooting in a school makes us all feel unsafe for our kids, just Google children killed in cross-fire and question why the left and their "media" don't talk about these equally terrible losses of life in generally Democrat cities.

That’s because most people operate under the false assumption that man is basically good. According to the Bible, our hearts are desperately wicked.

The same Left mouthpieces that claim their heart aches as a child is gunned down, smile in glee as a baby in the womb is torn apart limb from limb during an abortion.

Some common sense on PT for a change

Ok, but that still doesn’t address my point. In this scenario almost all “wicked” people, including most murderers, don’t kill small children. It’s a fairly unique and uncommon crime in western societies to randomly shoot elementary school kids and most people can’t get their heads around it.

But as I previously stated, we do. We abort babies by the millions in this country, and we do it in a vile and heartless fashion. The mindset that aborting our own kids is ok, is the same mindset that devalues life on all levels.

But realize that’s now how 99% of people’s brains work. Almost everyone has a different reaction to a 6 year old being murdered than a 10 week old fetus being aborted, including almost everyone who is pro life.

Oh I agree, but a society that cheapens life by killing millions of its own kids in the womb, shouldn’t be surprised when that attitude expands into other areas of life.

God in this situation, best case, just allowed it to happen. Middle tier he doesn't care that it happened, worst case he caused it to happen himself.

Stand up guy, God.

This is a foolish statement.
Man’s sin and his rejection of God leads to a world that is contaminated by the results of those sins. Murder, drug abuse, and many of the mental illnesses we are experiencing are results of sinful choices and their consequences. And because of it, innocent people are sometimes caught in those crosshairs.

Do you believe he is all powerful? If so, he can stop it. And he didn't.

Or you don't believe he is all powerful.

He is unquestionably all powerful. But because God chose to give us freewill, he allows us to make choices that affect society. If he intervened in our daily life choices, we wouldn’t be free will agents.

Argument over. You agree he could intervene chose not to.

So this God believes the free will of one person to kill 18 supersedes the free will of the 18? That isn't very smart of him.
