Jeb Bush shrugs off Oregon shooting: “Stuff happens”
Jeb's pathetic response is just the latest mealy mouthed conjecture he's offered on the campaign trail

Jeb Bush shrugs off Oregon shooting: "Stuff happens"
(Credit: Reuters/Rick Wilking)

After ignoring the issue of guns, failing to even mention that the killings at Oregon’s Umpqua Community College were caused by a deranged man with a gun when he tweeted his condolences to the families yesterday, Jeb Bush is apparently just shrugging off the 45th school shooting in 2015 as another example of how “stuff happens.”

This guy:

In Greenville, South Carolina, Jeb Bush, arguing against calls for gun control after major tragedy, says, "stuff happens."



“We’re in a difficult time in our country and I don’t think more government is necessarily the answer to this, I think we need to reconnect ourselves with everybody else,” Bush offered in response to a question about the shooting.

“But I resist the notion—and I had this challenge as governor—because we had—look, stuff happens, there’s always a crisis. And the impulse is always to do something and it’s not necessarily the right thing to do.”

And stifling the impulse to do something seems to be an inherited family trait.
We get that.
