Don’t forget the granddaddy of mass shootings, Charles Whitman:

Colell says administrators and other coaches pressured her to allow Long back on the team, telling her it could negatively affect his application to the Marines. The Marines “would save this kid,” Colell says one coach told her.

Obligatory:

Naturally, she approves of their no hands policy.

This lady killed a bunch of middle aged white dudes who paid her for sex off the side of a Florida highway. She was a very angry lady.

This breaks my Canadian heart. I love Americans and view you more as extended family than as neighbours. You deserve to be safe, and you deserve lawmakers who work to make you safe (and also heathcare, especially if people keep shooting at you).

Some of the people in the club were at the Vegas shooting. This was their second time through it. We have come to a place where you can be a veteran of mass shootings.

Not if there are stairs involved.

The Onion runs this after each mass shooting and it’s truly unbelievable how many times they’ve run it in the last 2 years.

This is obnoxiously incorrect. The NRA employs lobbyists to further its agenda. It is not a lobbyist group. The problem isn’t the existence of people who speak to legislators about a group’s goals, the problem is that companies can donate unlimited money and get what they want from legislators.

You’re gonna need a helicopter evacuation from that horse, friend.

If only they could have been courageous like Donny Two Scoops and stood right in the face of the vicious VD during the Vietnam war...

Domestic terrorism, fueled by the NRA and Republicans. Shocking but not surprising, anymore :-(

No, now they’re going on to outright blame the victims for not doing enough to save lives. Fox idiot on tv saying that people should make the effort to tackle the gunman instead of running away. “You might get shot, but............”. Asshole. Just like turning rape into the victim’s fault.

They seem to have moved on to “we need armed citizens, not just armed guards.” Because nothing is safer than a bar full of drunk people with firearms.

My husband and I have an in-place, active plan should anyone come in the door of our business and cause any problems, up to and including having a gun and trying to shoot people.

What struck me most reading the NY Times article was the woman who said “Nobody would expect this in Thousand Oaks”. My answer to that is.. really? Because I expect it there. And here where I am. And the tiny town I am from. At this point, I find it bizarre to ever be surprised by this stuff happening anywhere. 

I guess it’s the time to hear again the old republican saying : “this is not a time to talk about gun control, this is a time to mourn and think of the families of the victims”
