Sounds like a good long-term solution. Outlaw trenchcoats, then coats, then shirts, pants, socks, bras, and underwear. Once everyone is naked, no one can hide anything larger than a derringer on their person and we’ll catch all the bad guys.

It’s not parents in general or moms. Men have to solve this problem. Men have to stop paying MRAs and PUAs to tell them they are entitled to love/sex. Men have to loudly reject people like Jordan Peterson when they state sex is the only thing preventing them from going berserk on humanity. Men have to talk to their…

Serious question: Why are we not looking further into how he was able to access his parent’s guns? I thought every gun owner was a Law-abiding citizen (TM) that kept their weapons properly stored and locked away.

I think that what you’re missing is that these people often have issues with their peers because they’re angry and entitled. You’re assuming that they started off normal and were warped by poor treatment, but I don’t think that is frequently the case.

“We have families that are broken apart, no fathers at home,” he said on CNN;

Being provoked is often seen as a mitigating factor, sometimes even legally. The shooter may feel that the rejection provoked the attack, but the media shouldn’t validate those feelings.

Trans people are “bullied” constantly (though I think bullying is too weak a word for being described as perverts and abominations, and having laws specifically written to discriminate against you) and I can’t recall any of them going on a rampage.

If your kid becomes a mass murderer, the proper response is to apologize to the victims, say you didn’t see it come but wish you had and make no further comment. On the opposite end, what you absolutely don’t do is blame it on other people. “Oh, he was bullied at school.” Fuck you dude.

I’ve read other reports that he posted violent messages online and said threatening things to classmates.

Most of this is crap. Actually, very few mass shooters were loners or outcasts at all. The Columbine shooters, for example, both had a group of friends. Neither of them were bullied, and very few mass shooters display signs of debilitating mental illness before committing violence. Dylan was depressed, Eric wasn’t.…

Pro-tip: if you wave a confederate flag, you’re dumb as shit.

Sigh. I don’t care if you’re bullied. You don’t fucking kill people. Period. End of story. Full stop. Go join a boxing gym if you’re some angry and disenfranchised wayward youth. Don’t fucking kill people.

Thank you for this. Thank you for giving us a link to send people when we want to pull our hair out with frustration and we don’t have the energy to perform the emotional labor of lamenting all this for the millionth time. Thank you for this straightforward corroboration of everything we want to scream in people’s…

I can’t remember where I saw it in passing yesterday, but one pundit claimed it was girls rejecting guys in schools that is the root of the problem! What the flying f*ck!? White male fragility has reached new lows.

Considering that US history has included the casual murder, forced marches and wholesale destruction of the Native Americans (not to mention centuries of forced slavery of Africans, massacres of labor protesters and the glorification of the gun culture of the Old West), yammering about a sudden decline in the…

Single mothers are the root of all evil to the GOP. It’s not like they could pass laws that would help single mothers. That would be proactive. Instead they do everything the can to make life harder for them, and punish them for not being married. And when these women have to work two to three jobs to make ends meet…

Don’t ‘abortion’ and ‘single mothers’ contradict each other? Is one worse than the other? What if a woman has an abortion because she knows she would be on her own? What if she has a door at home? I no longer understand my own rambling, but I guess it still makes more sense than this.

The too many doors thing is obviously it. Did anyone in the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory die in a mass shooting?

“We have 50 million abortions.” Speaking to This Week’s George Stephanopoulos on ABC, Patrick said, “Should we be surprised [at mass shootings] in this nation? We have devalued life.”

Ok, fine, but only once. I don’t care who you see. I do care that it is far more difficult for women to see female doctors. That the health model is based on the physiology of a white man. That women are under-diagnosed from everything from MS to heart failure. That female pain is dismissed, especially when you’re a…
