Eagerly waiting Huckabee tomorrow saying "now is not the time to politicize this tragedy."

When they did nothing all week but politicize the fuck out of the Mollie Tibbetts tragedy. 

Pretty soon they're going to stop being tragedies altogether. They'll just be something that happens. That's the truly fucked up part. 

Jax has some pretty bad gang problems. Not sure if this is related, but we had a gang shooting at a football game Friday night

I’ve been saying to myself, “we haven’t had a school shooting in a while and that’s a good thing.”  Then I remember school was out for the summer.

Yeah I couldn't come up with more than a generic title for this one. It's all getting to be so ho-hum, and it will be until it happens to us, or we are the ones who survive, and have to carry the weight of seeing brains spattered on floors drenched in blood and the terror of utter helplessness as one of these sick fucks sprays a crowd. 

I know some people found John madden annoying but this is going too far.

I've seen rumors that it might be a "black thing," so that'll just be "gang violence" and nothing to see here.

And if it had been some vintage NCAA Football PS2 inspired shooting, you would not want me on the jury if you were the prosecutor. Lee Corso's recorded idiocy always made me want to kill people. 

When I heard video game tournament, I wasn’t picturing Madden 19.  I was thinking of one of the other ones where there’s a shit-ton of money on the line, and people have committed suicide in the past.

Current reports are that its a white guy, but no name released yet.  Trump and Sanders aren't going to have a large group of "others" to demonize for this one.  If its a disgruntled white gamer, he'll get to be solely responsible for his own actions.

Mental health will be the talking point.

 

Then they'll do absolutely nothing to fund it

Curious. Why?

Has the right not politicized the death of Tibbetts to the hilt? 

And maybe Sanders won't say that about this shooting...I think the body count has to get into the dozens before we get the "Now is not the time" treatment.

You ran to make a thread about a mass shooting without any facts for a start. At least wait until you get one fact to back your agenda.

Why politicize shit just because?

It is established protocol on these boards to have two threads for mass shootings: one in current events, and one in the CR. I did have some facts: Jacksonville, 4 dead. What more did I need?

You know Dotard is excited every time he hears the words 'mass shooting'...just praying (right, lol) that it's a moooooslim...

Hes hoping it's an illegal immigrant Muslim who is a Mexican national. The trifecta. Then he can really cast that large net of blame he so desperately loves to cast.

Brothahorn, the shit is always bound to get politicized...might as well start this hear and keep as much diarrhea out of the real thread as possible.  My two cents...

While you are right, it just seemed like he was excited to get the clown show started. At least let the bodies cool off before you start worry about what Huckabee is going to say. That goes for both sides.

Been a minute since I got my politic on. Not my fault people get sensitive over my opinion.

Stop politicizing this event that is directly connected to politics

I've read a lot of the Tibbetts stuff was from Russian bots.  Seriously.

Why don't you get upset about Trump politicizing violence?  Both sides, right?

Why do you think I don't? Because I haven't made a thread about it?

If the facts take it there, then by all means have it it. But when you don't have any facts and just want to get the first lick, that's being chickenshit.

I missed the OP’s Politics thread about the 66 shot and 12 dead in Chicago a few weekends ago.

I am a fan of a 1 week waiting cooling off period. Seems like common sense.

I'm also a fan of a massive voluntary multi-round (not capacity, increasing the $ offer) gun buy back program.

This is what I want to know from the "don't politicize this tragedy" crowd. What other thing besides politics is supposed to magically swoop in and cure our epidemic of gun violence? At this point, if it's not politics that's going to fix this, then what is?

"Don't politicize this tragedy" is a politician's jedi mind trick forcing you into not getting mad at him for having abdicated his duties as an elected official.

Yep. Plus every other type of tragedy is politicized almost instantly. 911 gets us two wars, a brand new cabinet level dept, and restrictions on our rights. Every other terrorist act or attempted act causes policy changes on the fly. Shoes off, laptop out.  OKC happens, rental trucks and fertilizer purchases are monitored and flagged. A chemical spill occurs? New regulations are put in place to lower the chance of it happening again. A kid drowns in a backyard pool? We add fencing regulation. A restaurant is spreading food borne illness?  We shut it down instantly. 

On every other possible tragedy, not only do we not wait, we act as rapidly as possible to prevent reoccurrence.

But someone shoots up a place? Too soon.

Chicago's murder rate is nothing new, lower than those of eight or ten other American cities (per capita), and not even at its highest historical level -- 970 were killed in 1974.  Frankly I don't know why people freak out about Chicago's periodic flareups while ignoring similar carnage in other cities.

This fucking guy.

Yes, headlines that read “66 people shot over weekend” only pique interest because of race. DD despises his own skin worse than Camille Preaker.
