    This link is about a person who was a mentally ill person and was used (trained and financed) by the FBI to try and commit a crime from a right-wing perspective, just so that they could then arrest him and declare that they had stopped a domestic violence attack.
    It is pretty worrisome to think that that our government is trained to use people like this, just to make themselves look good, and to manufacture a story when one is needed to promote some political agenda.

    I went from the food insecurity thread to this mass shooting thread, and I'm wonder if these two topics will become tied in the future?

    Headline: Mass Shooting In Super Market By Hungry Shopper!

    Whites shooting blacks make news. It serves the purpose of further dividing us and helping push gun control. Black on black shootings don't make news. It balances out the narrative. Does not help democrats politically. Shootings still happening in Chicago and are heading north to Milwaukee but are mostly b on b. Only others make the news nationally.
    I am betting guns save lives all over the place. Probably mostly because if it is known you have one, people will think twice about attacking. But there are sometimes where people with guns stop attacks before police arrive. Just don't make news nationally.
    Biden needs more headlines to boost his poor ratings!

    Just remember, Yvonne, no matter how much we complain about our government, we don't have to continue living in the United States. The world is big.

    Huh??? Black on black shooting/killings seem to always making news. A lot of times, that's what comprised the news in Jacksonville, Florida. All of the black on black shooting in north Jacksonville.

    They may make the news , but do not get near the condemnation of a white on black shooting. Or a cop on black shooting.

    They are just reporting another school shooting, 14 children and one teacher dead, plus others wounded. This one is at Uvalde Texas, and the person who did it apparently lives there, and they believe that he also murdered his grandmother before going to the school.
    At this moment, I am not seeing much else in the way of information, but the police did shoot and kill the shooter. I am following the news on Twitter as it comes in.

    This is terrible. But I want to say, here in wisconsin during a holiday parade a man drove a truck into crowds of children and older women, mostly. A black on white crime and the guy had recently been released from jail, again!
    And the worst mass school killing was in Michigan where a janitor set off explosives in the basement.(maybe 100 years back)
    The gun control lobby wants gun control and is getting plenty of ammunition . We don't need more laws, we need to ENFORCE the ones we have. Chicago routinely returns offenders to the streets of doesn't catch the law breakers. More Laws will merely inconvenience the law abiding.
    Just saying.

    It seems like the numbers about how many are dead vary, which is what often happens, for some reason. They are reporting anywhere from 14-19 children killed, and from 1-3 adults. Why can’t they even count how many adults are dead if it is 3 or less ?
    Anyway, the shooter was apparently Hispanic (possibly illegal, according to some reports), but some of the pictures were altered for the news making him look white.
    Here is a picture of the shooter.

    i would not have children today. But if I did have them, they would be schooled and tutored from home.
    And if they had gone to school yesterday any where in the US, would pull them out. Kids have enough crap to deal without worrying about being shot. It happens anywhere now, salons, grocery stores, that is bad enough, but schools should be off limits even to the deviated minds.
    I am always glad when the shooter is shot. Saves the notoriety, the expense of housing their rotten asses for 20 plus years. To upset to rant anymore.

    With today, both parents needing work, schooling from home simply can't be done. But, there are families that the father makes a high enough salary that the mother can "home school", but moms aren't educated teachers. Which brings ups a somewhat different subject: how can any kid get a proper education at home? Don't really hear much-to-anything about how kids make it in society after being "home schooled".

    With all that has gone on, will the entire population of America stop going to.........amusement parks, water parks, theaters, grocery stores, the mall and on an on? Just stay at home all of the time?

    Or, should a sign be posted outside every public building saying "Enter at your own risk"?
