I didn’t think unyielding unaging unknowable abominations from beyond the stars had blood.

It’s a kind and normal statement/gesture, and I guarantee that it’s comforting to many family members and victims/witnesses. IMO, it takes work to be offended by “God bless you.”

Probably because that’s what he believes, but also because if he didn’t say it, that would be proof of various idiotic conspiracy theories.

That flips both ways though. Some people take real comfort in that stuff, probably including some of the people who were shot. To not bring god up is to buy into the twisted delusions of fucks like this guy who think that their god is telling them to do this sort of thing which, if we’re going to buy, gives credence…

It will be interesting to see the people who hate both GLBTs and Muslims tie themselves in knots over this tragedy.

i can’t believe this hasn’t been done already

they are! don't worry!

Fuck that.

My 16 year old daughter was a huge fan and we both watched Christina on The Voice. My daughter also has a severe death anxiety. I sobbed uncontrollably when I read this this morning. I don’t know what it is going to do to her.

Oh god I missed that it was her BROTHER who tackled the guy. Jesus fucking Christ. Now I am just bawling. Her poor brother. I hope he is able to come through this all ok, somehow, someday.

No one is expecting utopia. Gun deaths in America are 10 to 20 times higher than they are in other developed nations. We could make this country a lot safer if there weren’t so many people burying their heads in the sand trying to pretend guns aren’t a problem.

That’s easy to say when it’s not your family member dead in front of you. There’s a vast difference between utopia and being shot dead by a madman with a gun at a concert venue for no reason. There is a middle ground. And for what it’s worth, I would like to live in a world where I don’t have to accept such things as…

If only more parents were having that conversation with their sons.

Same. My 14 could barely sleep over the news. With Brock Turner on the news and the constant ex boyfriend killings and now Christina, she said she just can't trust guys. I can't say I blame her and it saddens me that she already feels that way but with social media, young girls have this culture in their face 24-7. By…

thank you for having important conversations with your daughter and not sugar coating things. i am sorry you have to do it, im sorry she has to hear it, and i’m sorry she lost one of her idols.

Also, as heartbreaking as this all is, her brother tackling the guy was pretty damn heroic and possibly saved more lives.

I am sorry a talented young woman was murdered and her brother was there to witness it. She was living her life and doing something she worked hard to achieve. She should have been safe doing that but someone decided that he wanted to cause her harm and he did. It is sad and terrible. I hope her brother is able to…

There is so much fucking evil in this world. I’ve been watching this girl come up on Youtube when she was just a kid and some asshole snatched her dream and her life from her in an instant. In. Front. Of. Her. Family. How can we fucking live like this? When is this fucking bullshit going to stop? Anybody who is…

My 14-year-old daughter was a big fan, and is really upset about this. We’re having some fairly deep conversations about gun control, misogyny and rape culture this morning, and it’s breaking my heart to watch as the reality of these issues becomes clear to her.
