what the hell is going on in this country?

It’s almost as if a majority of these mass shootings are perpetrated by killers with right-wing leanings.

I’m against both political parties and 95% of news media, but y’know. If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it’s probably a duck.

I was initially thrown by the fact he didn’t seem to be white, so it wasn’t quacking very loud until later.

Don't have time to read thru all of the posts, but be at ease, the TX shooter was a Mexican Nazi. We have hit full spectrum, Black, white supremacists & brown, white supremacists.
Sadly, I am not joking, so let's get these guns banned before they turn more unknowing people into Nazis.

Don't have time to read thru all of the posts, but be at ease, the TX shooter was a Mexican and RUSSIAN WHITE SUPREMACIST Nazi. We have hit full spectrum, Black, white supremacists & brown, white supremacists.

FIFY...

Guess what? Neither shooting is justified regardless of motive! These are lives, not a political football game.

Says the guy whose first comment in the thread was:

"Shooter literally had a “Right Wing Death Squad” patch on his gear."

which was your response to someone who had pointed out that the media was making it a political football game. You're sounding exactly like a fascist who claims to be "anti-fascist"... pure projection.

Funny thing is Nazis were left wing socialists.

And "anti-fascist" is usually a code word for communist : )

It’s painfully obvious that history isn’t being taught in school , and hasn’t been in a good many years . There seems to be less and less people that have any knowledge of actual history. The few that do had to dig for the unaltered truth and the government is making that task more difficult with every passing day.

But who am I to let facts get in the way of history....... Oops, rewriting history.

BINGO!

And in order to get "good grades", the students are required to parrot what they're told.

Not saying the philosophy of a group extends to each individual, but my main problem with “anti-racists” and “anti-facists” are generally

1) The definition of what constitutes a facist or racist can be too flexible and tends to get put on anyone that disagrees with the tenets of the faith even if those criticisms aren’t racist or facist in nature.

2) Many members of the “anti-“ groups have no problems adopting the very tactics they find distasteful in the groups they claim to oppose to achieve their ends.

As always, I will take each individual as they come. I reject identity politics and I will always value the individual and their opinions.

The short answer is the left has controlled the media the entertainment industry the school system that supposedly teaches your kids the correct values including college And they have mostly controlled the government for many years. They have removed god and discipline from schools. Kids are bombarded with extreme violence from the entertainment industry including video games this goes on unchecked for the most part. American values are now racist and bad. America is bad the police are bad all the above have been preaching this for many years. We are just in the last year or so finding out the extent the education system has been indoctrinating our children. We now have a whole generation that thinks communism is great. I do not believe we can vote our way out of this. I pray for our country.
God help us

They were fascists, you're just regurgitating the same old lies that have been comforting the American conservative boomers for decades. Doesn't matter but just shows that you all are as misled as the leftist loons. "But socialism was literally in the name lolol"

Actually:

The name of Adolf Hitler's Nazi Party was Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei, the National Socialist German Workers' Party.

By contrast Italy created the Partito Nazionale Fascista or National Facist Party.

What needs to be recognized is that these terms Socialist/Facist did not hold the same political meaning then as they do today. In those days facist more closely aligned with confederation (a union or groups or states united for a common purpose).

The one thing that is certain? In today's political arena every negative gun incident is being twisted into a political battle losing sight of the real issues behind most of these tragedies.

Both my boys played GTA and both have/are growing up as good poeple. Blaming killings on video games is no different than blaming the gun. By what it sounds like the little boy has no discipline. I made sure my boys understood games like GTA are fantasy. I also didn't let them play when they were 3 and if they ever said anything like that kid they would have lost their ability to play video games. A safe is good for securing guns and an Xbox when discipline needs to be administered!

Simple Cold Hard Fact... some kids can handle the difference between fantasy and actual life and some cannot.
Some kids play these game for days on end with little to no sleep and they will develop an altered state of mind. I have seen outrage from kids when they loose a game or mom/dad turn it off, and I mean outrage beyond normal parameters. Combine that with a few other issues and POW they are FUBAR.
I do blame video games and movies for putting sick ideas and glorifying these deeds into people heads. Unlike guns they don't try to keep these things from the unstable minds. How could you?
A gun does not put the evil ideas into your head, the games and movies do.

Just make sure to gain control before they shoot you in the eye or something... and note that the mother in that case was some kind of "behavioral health specialist" and the boy was getting "treatment" at the time:
