The Stand Your Ground State doesn’t need candlelight vigils.
It needs common-sense gun control, and a reversal of those horrid “make my day” laws.
This defines the senseless part of senseless tragedy.
This guy killed those women execution style. So it’s very possible he turns out to have been influenced by the “incel” movement which I think may have to be looked at as a set of loosely affiliated terrorists. I’m a huge free-speech supporter, but we’re getting killings out of this and at some point you have to take steps.
Try him. Convict him. Lock him in the bank vault.
Forever.
Yesterday’s local paper had a story on him–turns out he grew up a few miles down the road. An ex-girl-friend saying she had tried to tell people he was obsessed with death and guns. Booted from a high school for “having dreams” about killing students.
I still haven’t figured out how to do links (someone is going to have to show me IRL), but it was Goshen News for 1.26.19. Google away.
Two nuts with guns in one weekend (this idiot and the one in Louisiana who is accused of murdering his parents.) Good thing the NRA is continuing to fight against common-sense gun control laws in the U.S. Will we ever learn?
The NRA learned just fine. They don’t allow legally-licensed gun-owners to bring guns into their HQ.
And both these shootings happened in border states. Build the wall!
Oh wait, they border the ocean?
Never mind…
Not only that, but under the “wet foot/dry foot” policy, immigrants from Cuba who reach Florida by boat are automatically let in…
Seems like a major immigration hole that Trump should fix.
One BHO policy he has not reversed.
Wait, what? I literally totally missed that one.
Trump is building the wall on that border too – to keep water out of Mar-O-Lago.
They are going to honor them with a 21 gun salute.
Not until we have a super majority in the House and Senate, a strong progressive President, and a progressive dominated SC.
So, no. We’ll never learn.
Thoughts, prayers, and honors. Yep. Exactly what the murdered need. Oh wait. If they were strapped they could have been five good gals with guns.
Conservatives fetishize law and order, yet want Americans to live in some sort of 18th century, OK corral, cowboy America. The average person should live in a state of nature, fearing that because EVERYBODY has a gun, EVERYONE is . . .not so safe.
Yet, no GOP-controlled statehouse allows visitors to enter the premises with so much as a crossbow.
Three.
A 19 year old asshole killed 4 people & himself and there’s another person in critical (still) … Happened in State College, PA. Shooter was from Bellefonte, which is the County Seat, 11 miles away. Daily Collegian
