Another mass shooting

[Overlander]

School shooting make up a tiny portion of shootings, yet get a significantly inproportionate amount of media coverage

The latest shooting involved what 4 people? During the same week probably 10x's that got shot in Chicago and got zero national coverage

So, your position here is that news coverage of children being murdered is those tricky Dems again putting their thumb on the scale.

Controlling the media is the easiest way to control the people. And look at how effective it is

Yep, readily apparent in every one of your posts

If Randy was clever, I'd assume he was gaslighting us.

He isn't,
so I don't.

Gaslighting isn't real you're just crazy

Christ almighty, this story is gonna end worse than it started, which is saying something.

The fruit snacks packet next to the kid soccer chair is a nice touch, though.

Look I know you guys mean well. But so did the people in nazi Germany when hitler convinced them that citizens didn't need access to gones either. With the exact same argument, do it for the safety of the children! Its not coincidence that the shootings that get nonstop media coverage are whenever it's a school shooting

Do i think our government has as sinister intention as hitler? Of course not. But do they have the same agenda? Sort of, it's also about power and control.

So it would be naive of us to allow ourselves to get manipulated into history repeating itself

No one here is calling for all guns to be confiscated so stop repeating that same dumb claim. There is a difference between "taking everyone's guns" and "red flagging people who have reported mental health issues or domestic violence/restraining order situations". You're making shit up and then criticizing people for supporting your made up claim.

The world is run by some very power hungry and unhinged people right now. They are the ones pulling the strings that are trying to convince the American population to slowly disarm itself. Don't be tricked

The only one being tricked here is you.

But twocoach, if we take assault rifles away from people who beat their wives, where will BIG GOVERNMENT AND THE CABAL OF GLOBALIST ELITES stop?

While you're at it. Read up on all these things.

1) restrict public access to firearms
2) restrict public access to free speech
3) remove politic opponents

And find one example of "good people" who did all that. You won't. The sinister most power hungry people in history is who has done those sort of things

Your democrat platform is openly and actively trying to do all 3

1) There are ample good examples of certain select restrictions on who can buy certain weapons both in this country and in other countries
2) "access to free speech"? As in "every social media platform should have unfiltered access and anything that anyone wants to say on it should be allowed to remain on the platform? Uh, yeah, there are a lot of good examples of restrictions on social media content being removed.
3) "Remove politic opponents"? I assume that you're talking about the Colorado case of Trump being removed from the ballot due to his role in Jan. 6th. We have laws for a reason. If you do not want to face consequences then behave accordingly like the rest of us have to. Being a politician does not mean you are above the law. None of the regular citizens who participated in the Jan 6th actions would be allowed on the ballot in Colorado according to the Constitution, even though none of them were charged with "insurrection" specifically, either. Trump also participated so Trump should also not be allowed.

You don't get to pick and choose which parts of the Constitution apply to you like some selective followers of the Bible...

The brainwashing of these people really has been something to behold. JFC.

The Boogeyman continues. Communists, Nazis, etc... you won't get anyone to passionately fight against all gun legislation if you just tell the truth. You apparently have to make people believe scary shit to motivate them.

And, paradoxically, the crazier it is, the more believable (to some) it is. Because subtle deception is too close to the truth; sort of an uncanny valley thing. Nuanced lies are easy to spot, sitting right there next to the truth and all.

Truly wild stuff - stuff that by its nature isn't really subject to fact-checking, because it's fundamentally unmoored from truth in the first place - that's cult gold.

Does your paranoia also apply to all governments or just Democrats-led ones? Did you feel the same way between 2017-19? Just calibrating my MAGA-dar

Agreed. They find these corny ass conspiracies online and give the most credence to the wildest, most intricate ones they find as if the more buzz words tied an action they don't like, the more likely it is to be true. It would be laughable if it wasn't rotting our nation from within. It's so dumb and sad and frustrating.

you should pull back some. from your social medias. life is pretty normal. away from the social medias.

Uh, wut? I am not the one spouting cornball conspiracies at every turn. Take your own advice as I assure you that you aren't just noodling this stuff up on your own.

Another good way to look at it is...sucker bets. Parlays. The outsized payoff obscures, with each additional leg, the cumulative (accumulating) house advantage.

Similarly, the truly crazy conspiracy theories have so many baked-in assumptions and leaps and so on, that the whole is crazier than the sum of the craziness of the component parts.
