“I mean, nothing justifies the way they treat the (insert group here), but their militarism is understandable.”

It is becoming more and more clear to me that I am the least ignorant person in this conversation.

Most Israelis support genocide.

Given that you have no response to the well cited link I gave that expound on how genocide is an apt description of what Israel is doing to the native population, I think I will.

Jews and Palestinians share a common ancestor, but only one group has continuously maintained their presence in that region.

Rulers and religions change, but the DNA remains.

What the fuck? So you spew some bigoted bullshit and now you’re talking about “Satanic” influence.

Israel’s? If so, it is not understandable in the least. Those under occupation have a right to resist their occupiers.

I love having my tax dollars used to commit genocide. Nothing more American than the systematic corralling then killing of the natives whose land is being stolen.

There are a lot of parents of dead children(and some dead parents) who would have said “My kids would never touch a gun just laying out.” Kids do things they were taught not to do all the time. Even good kids with good parents. Usually the worst result is a pregnancy or an appearance in Juvenile court. That’s the…

Nah, still fuck the NRA.

Fuck is the exact reason their parents got into this problem. All because they did it at least twice.

It’s not even that. Last year there were so many news stories about either kids being shot or a mother being shot by their kids because the mother would keep a gun in her purse and the kids would end up shooting the gun while messing around in the mother’s purse. Americans ignore gun safety because... I don’t know.

Probably a lot more people than you think. It’s estimated there were around 2000 “unintentional shootings” in the US last year: https://www.thetrace.org/rounds/gun-deaths-increase-2017/ 

If that means the rate of gun accidents in the US (.62 per 100k) is actually more than the rate of all gun deaths in the UK (.23 per…

Uhhh... Americans?

10s, perhaps 100s of thousands of households in America have guns in easily accessible spots where kids can get them and injure themselves and others.

One of our most defining traits, welcome to the United States.

Are you that concerned about the brand of controller? Is that your takeaway from this tragedy? Damn....

It extremely does not matter what kind of controller it was.

Really? Does it really matter what kind of controller was used? The controller had almost nothing to do with this story. The kid’s rage at not being able to play his video game, however, has everything to do with the story.

Fuck guns and fuck the NRA and fuck anyone who supports the NRA.
