Shocked, absolutely SHOCKED, to see a confederate flag at an event like this.
As a brit who firmly believes in ironclad gun control, I will say that in choosing the shotgun approach, she chose something fast and (hopefully) painless. Without the guns, she would likely have OD-ed on painkillers or hung herself - neither of which are fast or painless ways to die if you fuck it up. So no, it’s not…
For once, this isn’t about the gun but the fact that a girl who was relentlessly bullied by some rotten shitheel children committed suicide. If she hadn’t been able to get to the gun, she probably would have tried another way to end it. The gun just made it really easy.
I have a teenaged female relative who impulsively took a whole bottle of aspirin after getting bullied by her friends for a semester. Thank God she immediately regretted it and told her parents, and is in therapy now.
Interesting that THAT’S what you took away from this story. The point of the story is that a beautiful little girl that had survived a brain tumor felt she had to kill herself to escape the bullying she experienced and that is incredibly sad and troubling. The method she chose, whether it be a gun, a rope, a knife,…
Well, keeping firearms unloaded and with a trigger lock was a provision of the Firearms Control Regulations Act of 1975, until DC v. Heller shut it down...
I was shocked to see my cousin’s 13 year old daughter brag about being mean to another girl at school for being weird. I admonished her only to have her mother (my cousin) basically say “What? That kid IS weird, so...”
I hope the school administrators, the bullies, and the bullies’ parents live with this guilt until their dying days.
From another article:
I hope the school administrators, the bullies, and the bullies’ parents live with this guilt until their dying days. Kids think this behavior is ok because someone models it for them.
I think she actually wants Trump to win. This seems to be a theme with the people for whom Hillary hatred is a primary motivation. They’re throwing a tantrum because they didn’t get their way, and they want the entire country to suffer so they can say, “See? I told you you should have voted for Bernie.”
Seconded. And what bugs me is that all my friends who are super disappointed about Bernie and anti-Hillary now, were TOTALLY for Hillary 8 years ago and I was going “nah, I think Obama is pretty cool, I dunno if Hills, with all her burned bridges and controversies would be a good president.” And now I have to defend…
Remember when Sarandon stumped for Nader in 2000, then regretted it so hard that she went out campaigning for Kerry in 2004 because we couldn’t afford four more years of Bush for any reason? Apparently neither does she, because she’s about to pull the exact same stunt (only this time with added threat of nuclear war…
FTFY, Suze:
Just to clarify for those who think they’re voting in some kind of “majority wins” scenario: 48 states are “all or nothing” in the Electoral College. That means that whoever gets the majority of Electoral votes eventually gets ALL of the votes for that state.
I know, right? People keep using that word but there is no evidence of corruption. Clinton has been effectively undergoing the process of vetting since the Whitewater controversy in the 1990s.
“...Clinton, with her record of corruption...”
Now that Trump is self-destructing, I feel even those in swing states have the opportunity to vote their conscience.
