I stop watching the news channels when there is "breaking news" about a mass shooting.  This is not from indifference.  It is that, for a couple days, there really isn't any meaningful information and the news of the rest of the world is ignored.  All they do is speculate and show the same couple of minutes of video over and over and over.

I'm the same way, give it a couple of days for the facts to gel. All that panic at first is not informative, just noisy.

Trump was on the news just a few mins ago over here. He condemned 'white supremacy' and of course blamed video games, social media...lol.

Yeah well, there will be backlash. Any sort of. 


Yeah, those darn guns.  They just go off when you aren't expecting it.  We should all just have swords.

Yes.  I would prefer slow death by knife on any intruder in my home.  More fun.

I'm waiting for Chris Hayes and Rachel Maddow tonight.  Hoping for a brief evaluation of what is actually known about the shootings and then something about world events...

I have 2 sharp gladiuses (gladii?) in the house, one real long sword, and you should see my deli knife...

I was watching a 10 min video of the movie 'We need to talk about Kevin', I haven't seen the movie and honestly I am not planning to. It's too real life.

[spoiler]What took my attention however, was the young people's comments. The villian reminded some of them the Hawkeye from Avengers, because of his weapon choice. I didn't get that. Avengers, Hawkeye. ? Hawkeye is a superhero fighting against bad guys. Kevin is killing his school mates, innocent kids. [/spoiler]

I'm fucking tired of Republicans making stupid, baseless claims like this. We do not have a mental illness epidemic. We have a gun epidemic. If he finally acknowledged white supremacy as an issue, good, I guess. But I find that a bit hard to believe. I did see him propose capital punishment for hate crimes. Because of course, that's the solution. Mass shooters are always terrified of dying. That's why they never shoot themselves before falling into police custody. Oh wait...

I suspect he has an ulterior motive for this. "Quick and decisive" capital punishment for "hate crimes." In other words, he hopes to remove due process for the accused, further increasing the risk of innocent people being sent to death row. I suspect Trump would have a very convenient definition of the word "hate crime."

And of course, blame the video games. He heard people talking about video games making people more violent, and hearsay is always true. If only there were a branch of science which had decades worth of studies on the subject... If only.
