I did. After he went after me. You miss that?

Completely untrue. There are way more accounts of it stopping violent acts than not. Because we can disagree and have conversations/debates without being as*holes to each other.

Simply not true. Dozens of new laws post Sandy Hook were put in place.

How about.... f-off? You don’t know me you as*hole.

So the planned meeting, WAY before the shooting is relevant, how?

Again, let me know. You didn’t answer my question. We have over 20,000 gun laws in America today. Just FYI.

Gotta allow front office workers to be armed. I’m in a high school, former military and would 100% protect the kids.

find a Republican who isn’t outraged by this. Let me know. Thank you.

I plan on going (taking the GF to her first NFL game) to the Kansas City game in Arrowhead this year... having family who live in Blue Springs, MO and only a 6 hour drive for me here in Oklahoma.... Anyone got their tickets yet? Was hoping to sit close to fellow Bills fans... and of course, figure out where we will be tailgating. THX!

My bad.

Like burning down sections of neighborhoods? Destruction of property? Looting?

Soooo.... what's the timeline of overcoming those injustices? 50 years? 100? 400? At some point you stop the excuses.

I'm very aware of what took place at Black Wall Street. I lived outside Tulsa for several years... what happened there was a f'ing injustice unlike anything seen outside slavery and the Democrats KKK. That said, the black middle class and upper class in Tulsa at the time were rising... and at a time just 50 years after slavery was abolished. There were black businesses men who had net worth of (todays numbers) in the MILLIONS living in Tulsa. How did that happen? Choice maybe? Of course, racism... segregation, etc. ALL plays into the struggles the black population. But in 2022? IMO, again, no. At some point, when do people pull themselves up? I work at a High School were we have all ranges on the socioeconomic scale... a high school who has around 60% minority (probably 45% black). There are COUNTLESS kids who went on to be doctors, lawyers, nurses, business people, etc. VERY poor white, black and Hispanic kids who succeed. Very wealthy kids who fail. In 2022 it's a CHOICE. Sure, there are always environmental factors but you ultimately made a decision to go one way or the other. Again, Dr. Ben Carson is a GREAT example. The guy was on the wrong track as a young kid... but made a different choice. It's NO different from a upper middle class or wealthy white kid who decides to make bad choices and ends up poor or worse. I see it all the time.

Amen. Most of the poorest counties in the country and mostly white counties. I live in a really poor county in Oklahoma... I have white and black friends that grew up DIRT poor. Some lived alone after the age of 13-14. Many of those have become way more successful that I have and I have three degrees and work as a professional counselor. One of my closest friends, a black man (and Don Cheadle's cousin), grew up with no parent (lived with Grandmother) went into the Navy... got a masters in clinical mental health (counseling) and is now one of the highest ranked officers in the state of Oklahoma (full bird). It's all about mindset and drive. Thriving for more.

Bullsh*t Pre-1960's, the single parent home for black families was under 10%. Today its at over 70% (all races are up to be transparent). What took place around that time? Welfare expansion... which took place during the JFK administration. Quote from Paul E. Peterson (Harvard professor).. “welfare assistance went to mothers so long as no male was boarding in the household… Marriage to an employed male, even one earning the minimum wage, placed at risk a mother’s economic well-being.” Infamous “man in the house” rules meant that welfare workers would randomly appear in homes to check and see if the mother was accurately reporting her family-status. He added, “estimated that in 1975 a household head would have to earn $20,000 a year to have more resources than what could be obtained from Great Society programs.” In today’s dollars, that’s over $90,000 per year in earnings. “The government paid mothers to keep fathers out of the home—and paid them well.” https://www.educationnext.org/government-subsidize-not-tax-marriage/

WAS it a big deal? Absolutely. Will it, unfortunately always be here (everywhere in the world)? Yes... it will. Is that the reason idiots are shooting each other in the streets? No. Socioeconomics due to a direct result of single parent homes is the reason IMO (I have a sociology/criminal justice undergrad degree, clinical mental health masters). There is a victim mentality across the board in all walks of life. No one should tell someone else, based on race... ethnicity... sex.... etc... that they are victims and that they don't have a shot in life. It's bogus in 2022.

Poverty causes someone to shoot up a high school graduation outside NOLA?

13 now.... zero connected to white supremacy and nearly all carried about by a minority.

Could it correlate to how most murder and robberies are carried about by the black population? More police interactions are a direct cause of those numbers. It's astonishing considering yes, the black population makes up just 13% of the population yet commits over 50% of murders and robberies. Those are things that need to somehow be addressed.

Agree 100%

I think that's what they are meaning by "replacement". It's not a good term to use for the fact that whites will be a minority. I consider myself white even though I'm technically Chickasaw. Seems nearly half of Oklahoma have some Native blood.

I don't think people are saying aliens are coming down and replacing white people or killing off white people... but there are studies that show "white people" in the United States and especially parts of Europe, will be the minority sooner than later. https://www.brookings.edu/blog/the-avenue/2018/03/14/the-us-will-become-minority-white-in-2045-census-projects/

What analysis? And we can only go off what is reported. Anything else is just a guess.

In 2018, the FBI data that came up for me. And in typical fashion.... Tips skips the rest of the information. 👍
