When the left shot Trump they lost the election

100% of all school killers have mental illness thats not treated ignored or they are allowed to refuse treatment. Want to stop this then mandate treatment for long periods, put them in residential treatment not public schools

That's my point. We treat mental illness like it's an afterthought today and are not aggressively looking for causes and treatments. How many times have we seen someone shoot up a school and one of the first things we hear is, "Oh, yeah, the police had many contacts with him over the years"?

Yet the GOP is about to get its ass handed to them in Virginia based on polling since the Kirk assassination.

Democrats would rather have a white woman as governor than a black woman?

 

[RoshawnMarkwees]

Hmmm. I remember when we used to hold the asshole shooters responsible. "The left" did not fire a shot. A fkd up kid, did. People who shoot people, are basically Fkd up individuals, and they are out there.

It’s just a coincidence that they’re all democrats inspired by hatred ginned up by democrats.

Yet every time a messed up individual shoots up a school, the usual suspects blame gun owners as the source of the problem. Let's all just admit that we have a mental and emotional health crisis in this country, and we need serious ways to tackle it. What is different now from was in say, the 1970's? Here's a partial list:

1. Teenage isolation. It used to be that teenagers hung out in groups. They would go to the mall, a bowling alley, a farmer's field, anywhere they could be away from parental oversight, but they were together with friends. Now, teenagers are trapped in a virtual world. They literally can sit in the same room and message each other on their phones with no eye contact, touch or speech being necessary. They don't even have to meet anymore.
2. Boundaries. It used to be that we had clear social boundaries, and all of society was expected to respect them. If you were a male, you were treated like a male, and the same went for females. No one demanded that they be treated like an animal. Now, society is expected to bend over backwards to accommodate any and every idea that an individual has about themselves. If you think you're a cat, society is expected to treat you like a cat. You can lose your job just for referring to someone by a pronoun they don't like. People have gone from being expected to learn and fit into societal norms to demanding that society conform to suit them.
3. Social pressure. It used to be that a person knew at most a hundred or so people and got social feedback face to face. If someone had a problem with you, they would get in your face and tell you and you had a chance to respond in like manner. Now, people hide behind anonymity on social media, and a person can have their most embarrassing moments immortalized by someone with a phone who blasts it to the internet. They can then get negative feedback from thousands of people they don't know, they've never met, and who have no idea what's going on their lives beyond a few seconds on a video screen. This especially plays havoc on teenagers.

What hasn't changed? Guns. It used to be a lot easier to get them, fewer questions were asked, you could order them from a catalog and have them shipped to your house. You could leave several in the back window of your truck and not worry some kid was going to steal them and shoot up a school. Kids could take shooting courses in school with live ammo, and no one thought to shoot up the school. Shooting at a public figure was a REALLY big no-no, not the quasi, "I don't want to openly support what they did, but I'll make excuses for them because I hate who they were shooting at" mess we see today.

Your thoughts? Remember, I'm talking about society, not your favorite punching bag of a politician.

You are hitting on the real problem. I do not know how to change the dynamic of that problem, and it is apparent there is no wish to fund enough psychiatric hospital to keep the crazies locked away.

 

[White 6]

It is not about the shooter. It was the reaction from the mainstream within the DNC on social media

America puked when they saw you later vandalizing memorials for Charlie.

You people are mentally ill and deranged.

I never left my chair, poolside in Tennessee, or posted any support for attacks on Kirk's memorial or anybody else. You got the wrong guy, again. But, you can post any bullshit you want, online, as long as you stay off my property, and do not present a physical threat in public.

You are part of a party that embraces this sort of stuff though.

Then you revert back to your moral superiority by saying they were all fascists, something the shooter marked on his shell casings.

Sick

Hardly, you loons blame the gun if the shooter is a liberal pet or some other ridiculous reason. The sheer hypocrisy of the left is overwhelming.

 

[White 6]

The one that shot him in the ear was a young republican. The asshole in Florida, was an adult, who had swung both ways. This latest asshole kid, was raised conservative republican, even maga, before going crazy (although, not crazy enough to not know the difference between right and wrong, so still, well deserving a capital punishment sentence).

There may be loons out there that blame the gun, but I blame the gunman. Your broad brush will not work on me. I'm a long time gun owner, raised with guns, trained with gun, hell, I might have trained your kids with guns, if they were ever military. You got the wrong guy. Maybe you should avoid guns. Your aim is lousy.

Virginia who cares the democrats lost the nation and the polling is old.

The polling is 5 days ago and it shows the dems expanding their lead. Apparently you care since you have to make up crap to pretend it ain't true

 

[Dekster]

Yep.

 

[Votto]

The democrats are the party that failed to condemn the attempted Kavanaugh assassination, a party in which many were unable to condemn the largest genocide of Jews on 10/7 since the Holocaust, a party that abstained from paying tribute to Charlie Kirk after being horrifically gunned down.

That is the party many here cling to.

Why?

They were democrats as heart.
Democrats.

 

[candycorn]

It was a registered republican who shot Trump.

 

[marvin martian]

It was a registered republican who shot Trump.

And a diehard leftist. Just like you.

 

[White 6]

Democrats.

Oh, I get it. If Democrats, they are obviously Democrats, and if raised by Republicans (even being members of Young Republican) but shooting at a Republican, they are Democrats at heart. I didn't know. How convenient!

Correct. Those are the hoops you have to jump through and logical fallacies you have to accept to be part of MAGA.... let someone else do all the thinking for you...

Democrats expanding their lead! What lead?

 

[AntonToo]

When the left murdered Charlie Kirk they lost the nation

Ok let's play that out:

The right shot up a black church, murdered Democrats and attacked Congress:

News Wrap: Dylann Roof is first to get death sentence for federal hate crime

In our news wrap Tuesday, a federal jury sentenced Dylann Roof to death for the racially motivated murder of nine black churchgoers in Charleston, South Carolina. Also, nearly 40 people died in a pair of bombings near the Afghan Parliament complex in Kabul.

They assaulted cops and tried to overturn an election. What to know about Trump's mass pardons

Trump granted maximum clemency by ending all of the prosecutions, freeing everyone from prison and pardoning about 98% of the convicted rioters.
