Aren't DUers fed up of school shootings

by all the scumbags on the planet at home and abroad?
Sure the Taliban scumbags are despicable but so are the so called 'lone wolf' Xtian men who shoot up schools, malls and cinemas with regularity in the USA?

Why is the discourse so different with the killers?
What is the difference between that lunatic criminal in Australia and many of the shooters in malls, cinemas, etc in the USA? They are all deranged cowards.

These twisted Taliban scumbags in Pakistan today deliberately targeted an army school because the army targets them. An eye for an eye will make the whole world blind.

12. I learned that was the case as a kid in the fifties with the KYA good bye drills weekly at school.

Whether it's the police shooting an unarmed citizen, some guy with a semi automatic weapon in a school/movie theater/ coffee shop /street, etc. I'm sick of it all. I despise the National Rifle Association and the American Legislative Exchange Council for not helping gun control and actually making things worse.

7. This is a false narrative, at least for me

I've never felt an ounce of sympathy, empathy or a need to figure out why, say, Adam Lanza did what he did. Fuck him. I hope if there is a hell, he's burning in it.

And I've never seen a DUer blow off a school shooting as no big deal either. Aside from the few trollish gun humpers lurking around who don't give a shit about anything other than their precious firearms.

But most school shooters don't do what they do as a group claiming religion as some sort of reason. They're just fucked up angry people. So I don't understand the comparison.

By what basis have you discerned Lanza and Holmes were Christians? If you're so keen on stopping hate try not spreading it yourself.

Stick to regaling us with stories of Angela Davis -- who supplied guns for terrorists and murderers and in the course of speaking against the Prison-Industrial-Complex accepted awards from the USSR that murdered and gulag'ed more of its own citizens in peacetime than Hitler killed in open war.

We watched some TV show about all the spate of young men being shot and my biracial grandson, when I asked him what he thought of the recent spate of shootings of young black men he texted (of course) replied

"Its a screwy situation. Just another reason people should mind their p's n q's and steer away from the police. Can't always trust the people who have power of you. :/ and fortunately I haven't had to experience any racism from anyone down here or up there in the murr town... U might b getting me mixed up with your otit'her black grandson hahah 😉😁 lol


He was stopped a couple of times in Murrieta, CA while DWB in his old clunker of a car, but I think he put it out of his mind as it was almost 15 years ago. I was so pissed. The town I live in, Murrieta CA, has been featured in some of national comics lately when they stopped an immigrant bus from coming through town. Also the mayor was the head of the group that stopped them. He resigned from office, but he still ran for city council and won. What a racist town - I'd move if our mortgage wasn't so low. I hate it here, we are probably the whitest liberals here.
