When a mass shooting takes place, the first concern of way too many people is “was it one of ours or one of theirs who did it?”

Maybe start with the proposition that all ideologies can give way to fanaticism and violence, it’s all of our jobs to guard against this.

Shame on everyone involved in this including the @w3c for letting it happen. https://t.co/RkR3Qd6T2k

And let’s be absolutely clear who bears the lion’s share of responsibility for that: https://t.co/Va8TfJnaYH

A whole lot of people are about to learn some very unpleasant truths about how thoroughly the system protects cops from almost any accountability.

“The Uvalde shooter did not kill those children with his purported mental health struggles. He did not shoot them with estrangement; he did not murder them with malaise; He killed them w/ a goddamn assault rifle” https://t.co/G4l460mwt3

In my opinion, Congressman, America needs more people who will take risks to protect kids when it’s their duty to do so. https://t.co/ZSEuBw6mco

Like sealing Chinese workers to live in your factory wrong? Children mining your batteries wrong? Being sued for segregating your workplace wrong? Sexual harassing and silencing workers wrong? Denying COVID dangers wrong? Stealing Tesla from its inventors wrong? https://t.co/J2exLpu9cq

I dunno, kind of seems like if there’s a gun that’s so scary that big bad armed/trained Texas cops don’t want to take on a single armed teenager, maybe that’s not a gun that the general public should be able to purchase? https://t.co/u9JXs1reM6

It's why I hate most other gun owners. The culture is rancid and cringe as fuck. https://t.co/MHo8HKe6n8

If an aggrieved relative does bodily harm to an Uvalde cop, Abbott should immediately pardon them & have their record expunged https://t.co/f3lrQBa3MC

Nothing says ban assault rifles like cops being scared of the shooter who has one.

the police are still figuring out their story. two days later, they're still working on an internally consistent lie. i almost wish they were faster at this so they could arrive at whatever bullshit narrative they want us to believe so they'll finally just stop talking.

This might mean something (but probably not) if y'all didn't repeatedly deny funding for mental health issues in this country. Paying lip service to something that is not the real issue anyway to avoid the guns conversation is cowardly and these parents deserve better. https://t.co/AsxIwKeLHk
