So what you are saying is "adjusted for race" it really wasn't a bad shooting at all. Yikes.
TheCrispiestNoodles
I have a feeling most of the pro-gun nuts feel the same way as his dad.
SaveitforQueenDoppelpoppolus
this is what every republican is like. most of them just know better than to say it out loud
iAmLaMosca
Yeah, fuck your dad.
ICannotSanctionURBuffoonery
Because it's never been about "freedom" or the Constitution. It's always been about racism and White Nationalism.
nevergoingtogiveyouupnevergoingtoletyoudown
I'd be looking for a new dad.
EroticZombiePants
Very typical Republican.
TheOnlyPtylerdactyl
I think that guy's dad is a literal threat to the future of America.
BallsackHippo
Not so long ago, these people were ready to sacrifice millions of Americans just to not have to wear a mask. Are you really surprised ?
Dimensionsatire
Let me guess, he considers himself "pro-life", doesn't he?
JoshuaHarazin
Not surprised. The ONLY time I saw Trump laugh is when someone suggested shooting immigrants. They have no problem with "brown people" dying

GOD DAMN!
Streiquer
Not even a lil bit joking when I say if my dad said this, I would straight up disown him. No way in hell someone that toxic stays in my life
MyCatIsMissingAnEar
Do it. It's bizarre but insanely freeing. I haven't talked to mine since George Floyd was murdered & he said some vile things I won't repeat
SlutAtNight
I was thinking that exact same thing
Galfronon
HappySeahorse40s
Brother? Is that you? I haven’t asked my dad because I’m afraid he’ll say the same thing. He fantasizes about shooting BLM protestors.
Sunshinedust7
Every time. My family also blames the housing crisis on immigrants...legal and illegal.
manamongstyou
Duping millions into believing those that have 0 power, 0 resources, 0 influence, are able to take everything from them was quite the feat.
StellarJay77
And at the same time they consider POCs to be stupid and uncivilized. The mental gymnastics are Olympic level.
OriginalAndWitty
These people vote. I hope everyone that reads this does too.
IupvoteAussies
Based on imgur's demographics, NOPE
Whitemannatee
These were the same shitbags crying bloody murder about how much they "cared" about those poor Mexican children in cages.
FundamentallyFlawed
As a southerner, I already know that is the predominant thought in most red staters heads. Nothing shocking about it.
marthisthing
My sister changed her FB profile pic to image of daughter & husband firing rifle in backyard. Sensitive response to the grieving families.
rustyrascal
*most of them. So he doesn't even care about the ones he says he cares about
AfterTheRainComesTheRainbow
Sure hope that OP disowned dad right there

Your dad is a fucking piece of shit human garbage.

That does garbage a disservice. Have some respect.

What's the timeline on this??

Like... Tuesday?
WeDontDeserveGoldens
Jesus. Horrifying.
wolfman492
No… the horrifying part is how many of those we didn’t hear about bc it wasn’t “big” enough for the news
WeDontDeserveGoldens
It doesn’t happen here. It’s all horrifying, but you’re not wrong. What a fucked up “acceptable risk”
Hexxxxxxxxx
I went to two of the schools in this list. Tge shooting at Umpqua community College happened in the room I spent 90% of my time in.
MyCatIsMissingAnEar
Jesus. I take it you weren't there at the time by your wording but that is traumatic nonetheless knowing you could have been. Are you okay?
Hexxxxxxxxx
Im fine. I had moved away 5 years prior. My blood ran cold when I heard about it. I contacted all my friends who still went there.
PraiseThePook
These lists make me sick. I'm not saying stop posting them. I'm saying we need to stop adding to them!

Please vote. Especially in the midterms. https://www.vote.org/am-i-registered-to-vote/

I do, every year, every midterm, etc. Every time. I drive my friends to vote and remind them every time. Every time.

Thank you!!

Oh my god, Sandy Hook was so many shootings ago.

The list was massive. I didn't even see them, what number?

88.

Out of 245. Dear God.

Australia's fire-risk rating system starts at 'moderate', and I think America's yikes rating starts at a medium at least.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
As a Texan, it's refreshing to see a governor who will defend an 18 year olds right to murder children. /s

neverhappytoasterdog
Anyone who thinks that it’s ok for that sweet child to die because she’s not white is not a humanbeing.This is where we’re at, as a country?
Carl99
They believe they're all bad just based on their skin colour. "if they're all going to become criminals who cares what happens to them"
Carl99
Also a degree of "They've got coloured skin, they or their ancestors had no right to come here, this is our country"
MenloPart
Except some of them have had family live in the area long before white men.
Carl99
I know, i'm explaining the thinking, not agreeing with it.
TheToughestGuyInLetterkenny
Maximum over yikes
HowCurious
Imagine being that big a piece of shit you don’t mind CHILDREN being killed, just because their ancestors happened to be born somewhere else
Utecr
More likely born right there in Texas before there was a Texas or even a United States.
HoochIsCrazzy
Texas the only state to fight two wars so that they could keep slaves
HowCurious
That too
WalrusMuscles
For everyone who is horrified, you need to realize these people are very real, and you better believe they vote.
Billis75
As soon as I saw who the victims were, I knew this would come out. I assumed that crazy woman in AZ would have said it publicly by now.
HapilyDamaged
weren't they American though?
IcouldntfindmymedsthismorningsoItookyours
Racists aren’t smart. They don’t care about reality. Only care about their warped perceptions.
bourbonandbaddecisions
Most of the Japanese that were thrown into camps in WWII were Americans.
whitebbwolf
not ´Murican enough though
bladderinfection
What do facts matter to crazy people?
Galfronon
I mean... Probably around 3/5ths American in his father's eyes.
Tassyr
In this person's eyes, no.
Lastcentura
To them only white people are American
Merdock
Remember when Mitch McConnell classified Americans as 'Americans and African-Americans'? Racists don't consider non-whites to be citizens.
mistermiggs
Correction: racists don't consider non-whites to be *people.* For racists, POCs are sub-human scum that do not deserve rights or protection
Merdock
Yes, I agree. I was just addressing the 'American' part of the previous comment.

The Buffalo killer plead not guilty because he doesn't believe he did anything wrong because ... they were black.

Does not matter to some. If their skin is brown, people consider them less than human. It's tragic and stupid but it exists.
StellarJay77
It's infuriating is what it is.
buddhagrinch
Racism works in colours not actual legal status or facts. Everyone who does not look like you is foreign by default
wylkyn
To people like that,some people will never be American no matter what they do.
Zuir
All Mexicans are Americans, which continent do you think Mexico is? North America, same as United States
IupvoteAussies
Anyone non-white isn't American, don't you know?
StellarJay77
Conservatives do not have the capacity to consider anyone beyond their immediate sphere of influence as a person, especially non-whites.

WHO CARES ABOUT CITIZENSHIP WHEN THEIR LITTLE BODIES WERE SO MUTILATED DNA TESTS WERE NEEDED TO IDENTIFY THEM. Jesus wept, man.
MrRandom314159
Obviously not the right kind of Americans.
kristProblemLord
GAH! THEY WERE CHILDREN! IM AN ANGRY SQUID OF ANGER!!!!
SpaceSphere
If they cared they wouldn't be racists
CreepyPhlox
Ah ha! If they’re not white of European descent racists will never view them as American.
cheese4343
The wrong type of American apparently.
qyrriqat
Apparently, not American ENOUGH.
ThomasThundersword
they weren’t white so no, according to those folks.
origamiboiandy
Among the racist is in America, there is a hierarchy for races and even with in their own depending on subculture. They are dependent on
origamiboiandy
Each other (but cognitive dissonance prevents them from knowing it is a positive relationship.) it’s shitty and baked into our culture.
kwyjiboner
Do you think that black people having ancestry in the US stretching back further than many whites matters to racists?
KawaiiInari
Exactly. I even told my bf "I bet a lot of people won't care bc most of the kids killed weren't white." And we're already seeing it's true
KingXizor
It's, "Do they think and look exactly like me? Or are they an interloper?!" No reality
VaultGirl69
If heritage mattered, they'd give the land back to the indigenous, then go back to Europe and try to achieve knighthood.
barnsandnobel
Ffs remember when we called them african-americans despite thier families being here for hundreds of years?
historycat
The racist assholes have degrees of American ratings. These kids were not the right shade of American to be real Americans to them.
bourbonandbaddecisions
A good number of the members of Congress have law degrees.
masteryoplait
That’s they’re real justification for voting too.
DanaConti5
Granted that guy probably didn’t care about Sandy Hook either
HapilyDamaged
I get it. really stupid though... just... so stupid.
nickelrocket
Sooo would anything happen if it was a congress critter's kid? What's the level of security at that private school?
nickelrocket
TBC NOT advocating for more dead children. Just asking when people will put kids over guns? Sandy Hook seems to answer never.

This is how Germany ended up with concentration camps

Like, it's pretty blatantly obvious who in the US would be first to sign up for Turnip's Brown Shirts.

Distressingly similar. Refugees fleeing hardship settle in a new land, build some success, become targets of conspiracy theories...

It’s exactly how it happened.

Mark my words: the sudden escalation of anti transgender language by the GOP will end with them in death camps.

Why? There’s not enough of them to warrant that, technically Black Trans Women are lynchable so it’ll just be open szn on more ?️⚧️ ppl

I fit this description and the harassment has notched up quite a bit the last few years. My trans friends also report increases.

Transgirl here. I agree, and I'm terrified.

I'm German, and yes indeed. Knowing our own history very well, we've been watching the US over the last couple of years with extreme concern

Trump applied an executive order to keep Guantanamo bay open indefinitely. Wiki says Bidden wants it closed but hasn't made any moves

I'm not Jewish but ill destroy as many cunts as humanly possible in your (all of our) defense. With extreme prejudice

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out— but I destroyed a bunch of them, because they were cunts. Poetic imo.
TanithRosenbaum
Okay maybe I'm reading your post wrong, but why would you want to destroy socialists? They're NOT the same as fascists.
