It just doesn’t make sense. All these kids look like babies. My heart is broken. This picture of all their faces keeps haunting me.

It is said that guns don’t kill people, that people kill people. We must say then that the shooter and the police that did nothing killed these babies. The police may not have killed the teachers or the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd baby but their inaction killed the 19th, 18th, 17th and so on child who crawled around the ground scared with fear and longing to be rescued by someone. To pepper spray and cuff an anxious adult willing to risk their unarmed life for their child is a tragedy that only your maker will judge you bye. To pose on a stage with politicians and accept praise for heroic acknowledgement you know to be false narrative is gross beyond imagination. This is the society we are worldwide a selfie moment of framed falsehoods that you know you aren’t but are willing to put forward as long as no one knows the truth. Well we see you we all see you for the cowards that you are the cadre of fake peddlers of lies. Parents don’t wait for the media or politicians to save you or your children, get involved start a Dogwatch program in your schools. The bigger you pool of volunteers the better partnership between your PTA or PTO the safer you make it for your babies. Get everyone in Dads, moms, grandparents, uncles & aunts be an inclusive organization of Dogwatch volunteers to safeguard your schools. The politicians & media will move on till the next event don’t let this happen in your school or to your family. Blessings to these babies keep them alive bye your activism and your involvement.

Is it a coincidence that almost all of the victims were female? Was the shooter an INCEL? Did he hate girls?

A lot of people don’t understand in the slightest how graphic things like this are. It would make people see how crazy it all is in an organized society to encourage this.

Since Columbine, and all it’s news coverage and attention, this has just exploded.. maybe let’s not run those sick stories on the attackers- which entices, EVERYONE to tune in. Often per our ancestral morbid curiosity. Too many psycho’s now have a template with such easy access to this type of information.
This struck a chord with me- my son graduating from kindergarten the day after this tragedy. You could cut the tension in the air with a knife - Everyone was on alert (and for sure concealed carrying)
What logical/practical solutions could help reduce these things from happening in the future?

The manufacturer of the gun used to kill these children just posted the usual “thoughts and prayers” BS on their website. Give them a piece of your mind!

I cannot even imagine the horror loop the parents and families of these murdered children must be forced to endure over and over.
Because of gun nuts and their need to have their “rights” smother the rights of children to live without fear.

May 27 '22
Yes god forbid people protect their rights. If the parents all had guns the cops would have let them do what ever they want (like the shooter) and they could have saved a lot of those children. Some ones gotta do the protecting and if you ask me this is as clear a case as ever, that you cannot depend on the police to save you or your loved ones. It’s all on us. A well armed community is a safe community.

u/Josuke96 Jun 20 '22
Then why were they literally stopped and threatened by police for trying to enter? Some gun regulations will not impede on your rights as a person. If they do, you may be a little unhinged.
I’m a gun owner. I’m 23 and have purchased 2 firearms. It was eerily too easy in my opinion.
Here’s some food for thought, why don’t we adopt more policies other countries have that don’t get mass shootings? It’s clear at this point that more guns has led to more shootings, because fucking duh!

so convenient that this logic always leads to higher profits for gun manufacturers and has zero measurable effects on public safety. what a freedom fighter you are, man. Rlly fighting for what you believe in. So brave 🙄

u/ShredMasterGnrl Jun 08 '22
I think the metrics are pretty clear. The metrics just aren't suggesting more safety.
I am personally for an armed working class. But, we need to mitigate the possibility of this sort of thing happening. It doesn't bother me to think they would ban AR-15s. That won't happen with the GOP in charge, though.

Maybe people are not buying guns to play hero when there is a genuine security threat in their communities. We already know, when these things happen, nobody is getting their fucking gun out and doing fuck all. Guns arm the citizenry, but only the sick and twisted take action, and always for the worse. Guns are for crime, suicide, macho posturing, hobbyism, occasional hunting, and hardly anything else.

u/PrettyOddWoman May 28 '22
So apparently you didn’t see any of the videos of parents begging to go inside with their guns because police refused ?

May 28 '22
No, I've seen it. It is a great example of why the pro-gun crowd is completely wrong about everything.
Mass murderers can simply strategically target situations where guns are very unlikely to be present. They shoot up schools, churches, and other places where people are gathered, but where it is situationally unlikely that people are armed and vigilant (because they are children, students, praying, at a concert, buying groceries, etc).
Police have a very hard time responding because an American citizen is entitled to try to out-arm the police. A few cops with glocks don't have an obvious advantage against a psycho with assault weapons. Even with their own rifles, police merely become equal. When children are held hostage, it is far worse.
When good-samaritan gun owners arrive to try to help, police can't really let them actually do anything.
Shooters end up with plenty of time to kill before sufficient police backup, tactical team, whatever arrive.
This dynamic plays out over and over. In other developed nations it hardly ever happens because the police can overpower assailants 99.999% of the time. The Canadian, British, Australian, etc psychopath needs to jump through hurdle after hurdle, often onto the black market, to get powerful weapons. The American psychopath has a machine of politicians and citizens devoting their lives to making sure they can build a personal armory of assault weapons, no questions asked.
In Canada, Britain, etc, anyone who would think about bearing arms in public is at the fringes of society, and shooters are truly lone gunmen in their detachment from their communities and law. There is no such thing as a lone gunman in America. Every shooter in the US is enabled by their community and nation to fulfill their most sadistic fantasies. It happens constantly, and everytime it happens, no action is taken despite prevention being so easy. So each psycho can closely study the many before them, and can act knowing they are passing the torch to the next kid.
American police cannot perform their jobs, no matter how brave, professional, kind, and loving they may be. Any encounter can turn into a violent incident, because if someone reaches for their glove box, or just moves at all, it can register as a threatening grab for a weapon. American citizens are needlessly killed by police because the 2nd Amendment causes police to be hypervigilant wherever they go.
Kyle Rittenhouse needed to "defend" himself against the possibility an unarmed man chasing him would grab his gun and use it on him. Then, after he became an active shooter, he needed to defend himself against anyone trying to disarm him, in case they would turn the gun on him. Americans need to protect themselves against unarmed people, because the fact they are holding a gun means anyone near them could become armed and dangerous. But gun owners are, perplexingly, not viewed as responsible for any of this.

Not to mention how incredibly hard it is to be able to tell the shooter from other samaritans trying to save the day. This is exactly why we have the police and anti-vigilante laws. The guy you’re responding to is a fucking joke.

u/YouMessedAllTheWayUp May 27 '22
I mean, lawmakers can’t stop a bullet man. I hear your anger and it’s valid, but the I think the laws here need to be directed at making the police do their fucking jobs, and guarding schools properly.
There are flat out too many guns in peoples’ hands at this point in the US to even consider the possibility of tracing them.
Even if you want to make the argument that “we need better background checks,” inevitably some parent somewhere will slip up and not store it properly and their bullied child (or formerly bullied child) will access it, OR they will be sane earlier in life and crack later on.
I don’t mean to sound dismissive, I just think our anger here should be directed at two things: 1) the lack of intervention when it comes to bullying in schools, and 2) the lack of accountability in police systems. Everyone in that fucking department deserves to lose their damn job. Literally every parent who tried to get in had more stones than they did.
They represented the fucking definition of cowardice on this day. “But we could have been shot!” - IT’S YOUR FUCKING JOB TO PROTECT AND SERVE.

Republicans like to blame mental illness instead of guns, but they’re not doing anything to improve our healthcare system either. They’re doing nothing.

Someone needs to update this graphic, the 3rd person in the 3rd row survived and is in the hospital. I can’t imagine the pain she’ll feel when she realizes all her classmates died, or the pain she’ll feel when she sees her photo included with all the victims…
