We are just a lot shittier than we used to be. At least when it comes to guns. I guess this jackoff is going to try to argue that he felt so threatened by children whose shadows he saw that he felt compelled to start shooting at them as they were RUNNING AWAY!! Yeah, that’s a totally normal and rational response.

So, can we at least start to work toward making it illegal for someone to ever own guns again after they do something like this?? It seems like that should be something we can all agree on. We may not agree on exactly where the line should be when it comes to gun control, but I think we can all agree which side of the line assholes like this are on. And the assholes who shoot at people who ring their doorbell by mistake. And the assholes who shoot at 6 year old children whose ball rolls into their yard. And assholes who shoot at someone who is turning around in their driveway. And assholes who shoot at their neighbors who ask them to be quiet.

You do something like this…..NO MORE GUNS FOR YOU!!! EVER!! Can we AT LEAST agree on that???

A Hispanic white supremicist? I’ve seen it all now.

As someone stated earlier, we’re in clown world.

Speaking of comedians, Chapelle had a show in which its first episode described what we’re seeing.

Paul, you’re old enough to know better and Brew, I hope you’re younger than me….

Okay, I'm completely missing what it is that you're talking about.

Like, I don't see how one word of what you said has anything at all to do with the post you quoted.

A man started shooting at kids who were playing hide and seek as they were running away from his house. This is the latest in a recent string of incidents where someone decided to use lethal force with a gun when it was absolutely ridiculous to do so. He reacted to a rather normal every day occurrence where he wasn't in any danger at all by shooting at someone. That's it. That's the issue.

A Hispanic white supremest?? Dave Chapelle?? What is that even referencing???

He was confusing which senseless gun crime you were referring to. To be fair, it is easy to do with how many there are.

Sorry, that was in response to Paul’s comment. I’m tired of the shootings as well and I’m tired of people pointing fingers for political reasons when these things happen.

His point was another slow-witted political jab, capitalizing on a tragedy to further his conservatives bad, liberals good mantra. No real solution ideas, no empathy for the victims..nothing. Want to point to a tweet that's 8 years old in some sort of sophomoric blame game? That's fine..but that type of thinking is exactly why nothing gets done in our current political landscape.

Well...me too, and me too.

The challenge is how to stop, or at least lower, the number of shootings. That's not an easy thing to do. I think this country used to be able to do hard things, but I'm not sure if we have that ability anymore. If it's not an easy fix that's also backed by a political agenda, then no one will even consider it. If it is an easy fix that's backed by a political agenda, then half the people will be all for it even if it won't actually fix a damn thing.

I'm tired too.

He set Kushner up with a job that netted 2 billion from the Saudi’s He should tell him to cough up the 5 million.

I like you Paul, but this is why some people have trouble with your posts. Netted?

Jared Kushner’s new private equity firm got $2 billion from Saudi Arabia because maybe that’s how you can cash in when your investing experience is slender but your father-in-law may wind up back in the White House. It’s also possible that you can get billions for a firm with no track record because the White House did favors for the Saudis when your father-in-law still occupied the Oval Office

Sorry, should have said "cash in." With "a firm with no track record" I guess it was more akin to a NIL deal.
