At least two people are dead after a shooting right in the heart of Ybor City's nightlife scene, police said.
No one knows about this because it's just another night in Chicagoland.

Two different "incidents" (meaning mass shootings) in this piece of shit gun obsessed country. Fuck the 2nd Amendment.

Yeah, but that’s a blue city so you have to expect it.
That sort of thing could never happen in a city in a red state like Florida, because

Indeed it is. Wasn't earlier this morning. Figured it would get ignored because it's Chicago and it was Black people - and who cares - or why should they? Right?

One more thing that the Founding Fathers got wrong. This will end up being in the same bucket as 3/5ths people, slavery, segregation, women’s suffrage etc.

In each of these instances there were people defending the underlying abomination as “It’s in the Constitution”. Ultimately they were proven wrong. The NRA and their ardent supporters are not that different from the Southern plantation owners who tried to hold on to the last vestiges of slavery.

Getting rid of the Second Amendment doesn’t mean that guns will be outlawed. It’s just that firearms sales can be regulated without running afoul of a twisted interpretation thereof.

There is not a serious argument that the Founding Fathers intended for the Second Amendment to be used the way it is in a society and world that looks like ours.

The gun-humpers who act as if any restriction on private access to guns is an affront to their fundamental rights are an embarrassment to the country - and to be clear our fetishization of guns very much IS embarrassing.

Who knows. It takes a shit ton of planning to buy all the stuff he had collected. Smells like someone who participated in online discussion forums that talk about these things who got monumentally carried away by his own desire to be one of those guys.

Just one of probably 1000 examples of what I can find on "social media" today - to express my sentiment of USA! USA! USA! SUCKS!

https://twitter.com/stillgray/status/17 ... 3935454563

Bottom line is we are a gun obsessed shithole country full of shithole people. It's a sickness with seemingly no cure.
Yep, I believe the *inevitable will eventually happen. I hope I am not alive to say I told you so when it does happen.

*inevitable being an all out "civil war" and/or a "purge".

Multiple people shot and an active shooter on the UNLV campus.

In other news, Senate republicans blocked a bill today to try and deal with AR-15 style rifles...

Were that the US wasn't the only country in the world with people with mental illness.

Whose parents let them play video games.

Make that "parent", because "fatherless homes".

And gays.

And Drag Queens grooming our children.

And schools without Bibles.

Too soon?

This is so hot off the press, all they know is possible "multiple victims"!

"Multiple Victims"

How exciting! Just think, there's a possibility that the news cycle will be dominated for hours if not days with the story, because something so unique, so rate, is by definition "big" news.
