The mail carrier that was killed, I guess she called her twin sister when the shooting started or something, and the twin sister heard her being murdered. Ughh.
https://www.cnn.com/2019/09/01/us/west-texas-mass-shooting-victims/index.html
One of the victims was a 15 year-old who had just celebrated her quinceañera a few months before,
QuoteOn Saturday, Hernandez stood next to her brother Nathan as he collected the keys to a truck he'd saved up for. Also with them was their 9-year-old brother, their mother, and their mother's boyfriend.
As they walked out of the dealership, the gunman drove past and shot them.
Nathan was hit in the arm. Leilah was hit in the shoulder, near her collarbone, and bled to death as they waited 20 minutes for an ambulance to arrive, her grandmother told the Washington Post.
"Help me, help me," Leilah cried while dying, according to her grandmother.
QuoteJoseph Griffith was driving with his wife and two children when he was shot and killed on Saturday, his sister Carla Byrne told the Washington Post.
"This maniac pulled up next to him and shot him, took away his life, murdered my baby brother. Like nothing," she said.
The 17 month-old
QuoteThe toddler, Anderson Davis, was sitting in her carseat next to her twin brother when the gunman shot at her family's car

But, I think the suburban GOP leaning moms might.
Based on the ones I know, I believe you're right. And when you see things like all of those Gofundme donations pouring in for various victims, there's a shitload of suburban moms pitching in money for them. It ain't Bubba T. Beauregard IV.

senseless gun violence is not a partisan problem, nor does it require a partisan solution.
Moscow Mitch, or Massacre Mitch, or Mylanta Mitch, or whatever he goes by these days, says "Go fuck yourselves, it is a partisan issue because I say so, and I'm going to make damn sure my NRA Masters are going to get everything they asked for!"
While the NRA is hurting these days, if they wanted better background checks and a national red-flag law, they could have it within weeks with a few phone calls to Mitch and Co., and Trump would have no problems signing it (he personally doesn't give a shit about guns).
The only problem is that the NRA will make more money by not budging an inch, and they will make even more money should more gun control laws start going into effect. They will absolutely rake it in when the Dems are back in power.

Life is always predictable, no?
It's like the wife telling me there's no chance of showers because the TV said so. yeah, well, looking out on the back porch, I see fucking rain.
Or her telling you that she thinks there's no chance of her ever having an orgasm, and then you look in the window when I'm over, and and see fucking orgasms.

How fucking old are you? I was born in 1966.
Then you are old enough to remember the Assault Weapons Ban, that lasted for a decade, and only went away because Congress didn't renew it, even though Republicans and the NRA challenged it in the courts year-after-fucking-year.
Guess what? This shit is building up momentum, and when the Dems retake the Senate and the WH, and they will within the next few election cycles, they are going to come out with the AWB 2.0, and its creators are going to have 10 years of court challenges from the AWB to make it even more airtight (and get rid of a lot of the loopholes present in the AWB), and probably a helluva lot more restrictive.
6 hours ago, EMAWesome said:When did this stuff skyrocket? Right after the advent of the 24 hour news channel and just before the popularity of the internet skyrocketed as well.
24-hour news channels started in 1980, almost 20 years before Columbine. The internet became mainstream around 2001-2002 (based on actual access and usage of the general population - sorry, AOL and BBSes don't count), which was after the modern era of mass shootings kicked off. And Reagan and the GOP basically killed off some of the best chances at mental healthcare in the mid-to-later 1980s that a lot of these nuts would later need.
When the FBI released their study back in 2014 (after Sandy Hook), from 2000-2006, there were an average of 6.4 such shootings, with 120 deaths. From 2007-2013, there were an average of 16.4 such shootings, with 366 deaths.
We can spend all day arguing about what the kids are doing on the internet when these shootings picked up in 2007, or whether Fox News and the Chans and reddit are radicalizing the more recent shooters, but it boils down to this: We know there is a definite problem, the stats are there for a definite up-tick, and many of these shooters had mental health issues and run-ins with law enforcement/whatever mental healthcare was available in their areas.
We also know this: the NRA and GOP deliberately (and maliciously) blocked every bit of legislation they could relating to red-flag laws, better background checks (tied into the red-flag system), mental healthcare, etc.
In other words, if you asked the NRA and GOP to prepare for a hurricane (gun control), their response is to say "we'll buy plywood and bottled water after we see how many windows get knocked out by debris, and how bad the water system is."
The NRA and GOP are doing their best to shut down red flag laws, better/universal background checks, etc., and so every time one of these shooters goes nuts and does their thing, the NRA and GOP are making sure that the Dems will have the ammo to push out AWB 2.0.
Of course, when we get the AWB 2.0, it will be great for the NRA and GOP, because they can fundraise off of their opposition to it. They stand to make a shitload of money from it. Along with the Rush Limbaughs, Sean Hannitys, Tucker Carlsons, etc.

Texas, the state with all the ace marksmen ready to stop evildoers in an instant, now falls to 1-18 in its last 19 mass shootings. Only once since 1966, did a non-law enforcement person take out an active shooter. 1 for 18, that's not great Bob! Coach says maybe take a seat on the bench and quit shooting...
Since it was video games last time, I assume Dan Patrick will rotate around to school prayer on this one.
We have school prayer. It's called a minute of silence, and it's mandated by the Texas legislature after the Pledge of Allegiance. Kids can pray, think about the weekend, whatever the fuck they want to do during that little minute, as long as they are silent.

No, we very literally cannot.
Actually, the momentum keeps building and building, and we will get some gun laws that will make the original AWB in the '90s look quaint by comparison. Mitch and the NRA are seriously underestimating how the anger is building.
The NRA had their chance to push through a heavy overhaul of how we deal with mental health issues, red flag legislation, etc., and they refused to budge a single fucking inch, so we are going to get AWB II. The NRA is going to fuck every single law-abiding gun owner.

^^^^ Supposedly from the shooting.
Also, supposedly this was the baby that was shot - updates, gofundme
QuoteWe are on a very long drive to Lubbock. Anderson is a live and that is a prayer answered bigger than I've ever had to pray. Her vitals are good. She is being flown to Lubbock while we drive. Not getting to fly with her is beyond painful. Anderson is 17 months old, has shrapnel in her right chest, which thank God is superficial. She has a hole through her bottom lip and tongue and her front teeth were knocked out. She is alive. When others today are not alive. I ask you to continue praying for our hearts as we experience this, pray for complete healing of Anderson, pray for every other family in our same situation, or worse, today and pray for the shooters. Pray that whatever is causing them to do this will be defeated by God and they will stop shooting. The last we heard there are three shooters, over 20 shot, 4 or more dead.

Jacob Wohl wants desperately to be Patrick Bateman but instead has incel face, knows he has incel face, desperately wishes his posturing could mask said face, but ultimately knows deep down there’s nothing he can do about it.
You hate to see it.
So he probably wants to be a "Chad", whatever the fuck that is (hint: It ain't Chad Ochocinco, although you'd think a runt like Wohl would be desperate to be like him). "Chad" is the incel ideal, which I guess means their parents have a bigger basement.

Started with a traffic stop. So either someone with an outstanding warrant or a sovereign citizen nut?
One report said they confronted the DPS trooper. Perhaps they had something going on (getting ready for the shooting) and he or she interrupted it, and they tried to take him out?

Oh ok so mental illness, lack of prayer in schools, and video games. Got it.
Lt. Gov Goeb is going to go after video games hard, and claim there's a lack of prayer in schools, Hint: Texas state law allows time for every school kid, every single day, to pray if they want to, but he won't let that stop him.
Meanwhile, Governor Hot Wheels probably sent out a campaign flyer yesterday asking Texans to take things into their own hands.

Some companies like Apple are already getting exceptions so no to minimal impact.
I could be reading it wrong, but Apple's 15% phone tariffs got pushed back to December, but the 30% tariffs for the computers and accessories are kicking in tomorrow. Apple is not going to eat 30%, and I doubt FoxConn, etc. are willing to eat that either. Well, I suppose the workers who die from exhaustion could be ground up into Soylent Green, and that would help offset both disposal and food costs, but still, 30% is quite a bit.
They may eat some of that, but prices are going to go up for consumers, even if it's only 10% or 20%.
