7 shot at a Virginia high school graduation.

Disturbingly close to my house. Was just at VCU a week ago. This country is a disaster.

 

Yet another young male... Didnt see that coming...

 

What a country

 

Sigh.

 

I was just at my own HS graduation tonight at GMU.

 

How is he only getting charged with 2nd degree murder? Shoots 7 people, clearly premeditated. 2nd degree?

 

Time for more of those utterly worthless thoughts and prayers.

These are just 13 of the 270+ mass shootings in the U.S. this year. There are more than 18k shooting deaths in the U.S. this year. There's no reason to "yeah but" that. None of this accounts for the thousands of people injured. Imagine how so many lives have been changed.

 

It is painfully obvious that this society doesn't give a shit.

 

There were multiple guns at the scene. Sounds like a gun fight. Those killed may have been collateral damage.

 

Yeah I sent the story to a couple friends in a group text. Not a moment of remorse for the dead. The group is generally light hearted banter and morbid humor because of our Line of work but it was immediately met with....

"Shall not be infringed" end of discussion.

Calm down Biden.

If it wasn't guns they'd use bombs and there would be more carnage.

I don't even think losing family or friends would matter to them....at all

 

There have not been 270+ mass shootings in America in 2023 and no one would love to hang that on Biden more than I would. You're broadening the definition of a "mass shooting" in order to intentionally skew the data. When you do that, you just reinforce the idea that your side can't be trusted on the 2nd Amendment. In other words, you're not winning over anyone's heart by doing this. You're actually creating more detractors.

 

That makes sense. I only had time to skim the story, but that's the first thing that came to my mind when I saw the headline...probably a fight. Decent parenting would be the best gun control we could ever pass.

 

As if you haven't brought up Trump in post #2 in multiple threads that don't have anything to do with Trump.

 

Uggh. Congrats on being the first to officially kick off the long list of excuses for needless gun deaths.

 

When is the next one so we can forget about this one?

 

So your claim is I’m the 2nd post in multiple threads? And it’s about trump? And you bring up Biden and trump in this thread.

 

You're right. We should stick to politicizing the deaths of kids at their high school graduation.
