I mean he was wearing body armor.

 

You get hit with body armor on and you will go down. 

 

Not to mention he surrendered once other weapons showed up.

You know the person is a piece of ***** when they take any tragedy to stand on a political statement. 

 

Here's the hat bud, wear it with pride.

Disgusting on all levels… the original Tweet and the person who posted the Tweet.

 

cheap, gutter partisan politics in the midst of a local tragedy.

This is PPP. Folks like him give it the bad name it maintains.

Francis doesn’t understand that criminals don’t follow laws. Also kind of hard to reconcile being “ pro -abortion” and being outraged at a criminal pulling a trigger.

That is how the shooter described himself so yes.

Wait...seriously...you prefer the 'cower in terror', 'stampede wildly over anyone in your path', and/or wait the 20 minutes for the police or social worker to come and de-escalate in this situation?   Me, I would prefer to be standing next to the off-duty officer who plugged this luantic in the head as he began his reign of terror.   Absent the off duty police officer, I'd prefer to be next to the sensible gun owner who plugged this lunatic in the head as he began his reign of terror.   

 

 

 

 

 

of coarse he would.  victims only know how to be victims.

Angry over Bernies plan to expand health care failed?

More guns = better. Obviously not from a crime perspective, but from a freedom and anti-authority perspective, and self-preservation perspective.

 

Why does the state get to hold a monopoly on force? I don't need to roll out all of the states throughout history that have abused that monopoly and made aggression towards people legal, just or not. I'd rather deal with the consequences of having guns exist than give it up and have no defence whatsoever against an abusive state.

 

Secondly, crime is always going to exist, and abolition never works. Drugs, sex, porn, abortion, the list goes on. Guns wouldn't be any different.

 

The slippery slope of this is tremendous. Okay, less guns, what's next? No knives? No forks? No tridents? When does this lunacy end? 

 

It's disappointing foolish people throughout history have willingly given up their rights for non-existent promised security. It's a tragic comedy.

Please tibs.

 

Show some decency for just once.

 

Quoting Rick Wilson propaganda as if it is some type of actual evidence in this tragedy.

 

Wait and see please.

 

You have learned nothing from your past mistakes.

Watch any of the press conference on this? This was clearly racially motivated. Apparently the guy referenced "the Great Replacement Theory" (one of Tucker's favorites) in his manifesto. He hated immigrants. It's all over the press, and I'm sure even more will come out over time about this racist, rightwing loser.
 

Not shocking, sadly--allow incendiary, dehumanizing rhetoric with no repercussions, and this is the obvious and predictable result.

Just another criminal on the scrap heap of societal dregs. Rhetoric didn’t kill anyone though. There will always be criminals and murderers , sadly. Our freedoms mustn’t be diminished due to the wanton acts of a few. They should all be dealt severe punishment regardless of their motivations. Murder is murder.

Over 100 million more in population than 1982 as well. Your cartoon looks like the “ mostly peaceful” blm protest CNN clip.

Better regulation of guns is a partial answer. Needs to get done
