bobzy Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 The number of victims of mass shootings so far this year in the US is now more than double the amount of the British Armed Forces death toll in Afghanistan (over 20 years).

sidcow Posted May 7, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted May 7, 2023 (edited) You have to wonder, with so many devout people praying to God. Why this keeps happening? I mean I know he works in mysterious ways and that but surely with literally millions of devout followers praying for the same thing he'd take at least some kind of action. It's really hard to fathom isn't it. Almost feels like praying is a waste of time sometimes. Edited May 7, 2023 by sidcow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn’t make sense. They have a higher knife crime rate overall and more importantly per capita Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for Muslims we need another terrorist attack for that to be a problem as it’s been buried last few years . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 We've reached the stage in this slaughter continuum where 8 dead isn't quite impactful enough to get the top headline in national papers. Double digit deaths or children-only seem to do the trick in that regard. Eventually any body count under 20 will be deemed sad, but not so unusual that we can't just mop up the blood and brain matter and get on with our lives. Which isn't to say that this massacre hasn't been in the news. It has, and it's pushed other shooting deaths even further toward the back page, specifically another shooting in Texas. A Mexican-American family moved to a town in Texas a year ago or so, to open a horse training school. When they bought their house, they didn't know their neighbor was a white supremacist. The racist told the father of two teen girls that he didn't want Hispanics in his neighborhood, and he set about harassing them by shining lights into their windows, spying on them with a scope, just menacing them. Until the other day, when he shot the father over a dozen times and killed him. The Right wing here has been clamoring for civil war. Sometimes it feels like they've already started it, and every demographic outside of white heterosexuals and front line Antifa is facing the brunt of it. The Governor of Texas Greg Abbott is trying to pardon the convicted killer of a BLM protester for no other reason than because the killer is openly right wing and the victim was openly left wing. Abbott in essence condoning the vigilante murder of left wing citizens and stating through his actions that he will use his power as governor to overturn a jury's sentence to protect right wing vigilantes.
