Getting increasingly pissed off by various politicians "distraught" today. This is America, where every day we wonder if this when someone we love gets mowed down by a shooter. Pretending to be shocked just shows you don't get it. Trump has a Secret Service detail to protect him. My kids don't.
Yeah but your kids get to be traumatized every day with active shooter drills to prepare them. Fucking sickening, my sister teaches 3rd grade and every year my mom makes her new blackout curtains for her class for that reason
And the secret service detail didn't even work! He very nearly got killed!
There are very different rules around being a commoner and being important. If Trump shot a commoner the Supreme Court would be totally cool with it.
As I noted, wasn’t even the most lethal mass shooting yesterday. www.gunviolencearchive.org/reports/mass...
Near real-time tweets of American gun violence incidents. Non-profit. Non-advocacy. Just the facts.
In the American gunshot lottery, he was apparently next. Nbd, just another day in the USA.
Nothing happened after New Town or Gabby Giffords. Why would it change now?
Well, 26 dead first graders don’t matter to these people. Nothing shocks me anymore.
Their faux outrage about toning down rhetoric & this shouldn't be happening in America are failing on death ears here. This is a daily occurrence for those who can't afford a private security or in Trump's case a SS 24/7 detail. I'm always on guard now every time I grocery shop as CC exists here.
I found it awful that I was thinking it, but hearing the trump rally goers screaming I thought "what are you screaming for? You don't get to be scared, this is what you people chose for us and this is what we live with every day"
Yup. I marched with Dems in a July 4 parade a few dozen miles from Waukesha, WI this year. Thought about the ways there was minimal security. Yes there were police around, but that provides little sense of safety in our violence-saturated national situation.
