It's Still Madness: Maddow Blog | Following school shooting, Republicans shift attention to antidepressants (but not guns)

The last link shows you and tells you how insensitive many pricks in this country have become. A mass shooting at a school where kids were actually praying yet these pukes have the fucking gall to ask for the lifting of this states assault weapons ban. Not surprisingly, the GOP is doing what they do best. Avoiding the issue that the shooter was a fucking bigot. If anyone attempts blaming this horrible crime on pills, point out to them why he didn't go on a rampage on all the people he hated? He shot kids because he was a fucking loser, and coward.

I had to double check that last link because it was just insane. I don't think that store has a future if any of the customers initiate a lawsuit. What if they were armed? As for the rest, same old shit, still zero outrage. 

Madness Continues: 1 dead, 6 injured after gunman opens fire on sidewalk: 'Sickening and unacceptable'

If you hear one thing from the GOP it will be the standard thoughts and prayers mantra. They will not say they will support an assault weapons ban. They will not support a ban on high capacity magazines. If the shooter is a person of color you will hear them call the shooter a thug, terrorist, or a left wing zealot.

That's pretty harsh hoping a persons kid die. If you do something like that, direct it at the person who's violating your rights and not kids. Lastly, those dumb-fucks doing fake shooter shit will be caught.

Here we go again. There's always one thing that is just as consistent as the links you see above. That is the lack of outrage from religious leaders of all faiths towards our elected officials. These so-called leaders and their millions of flocks can and should put pressure on elected politicians to pass legislation that will end this vicious cycle. Yet, all we get is collective silence. Makes you wonder doesn't it?

Let's hope everything is fine with the situation in Barrington. As for the rest, the domestic terrorist are still shooting teens. There's nothing to do at 3 or 4 in the morning but get into an argument with someone you don't know and get stabbed. Well, unless you are looking to get laid and it didn't workout. I'm out.

The usual rant today. Meanwhile, our religious leaders of all faiths are still nowhere to be found. You know you have a domestic terrorist problem when these assholes open fire near, or at a police station. I'm out before I say something even ruder.

Hey! I'll just let the links above speak for themselves. I know any of you that read this will feel anger, and disgust. If you really wish seeing less links of this nature, vote for politicians that will really do something about this madness.

Finally! No the Rock hasn't come back to New Jersey but, the politicians did something I've touted every now and then since I began this blog. Parents can now be "fine or face jail time" when their asshole kids do dumb-shit. Imagine if every city, suburb, and state passed legislation of this type? Flash mobs and street take-overs will be history because parents will begin beating the shit out of their dumb-ass teens.

How many of you can say the above links are a typical day in your city, suburb, state, and nation? I check local, national, and world news everyday. I can tell you for a fact, this shit happens all around the world. It's sad but true. Someone or multiple people getting shot. Once in a blue moon some falls or is pushed on to railway tracks. And don't get me started on vehicle crashes. I'm out.

Well, there you have it folks. Sheer mayhem and carnage nationwide. Here's the deal. The GOP keeps blocking an assault weapons ban. A high capacity magazine ban. Passing legislation for universal background checks. And lastly, not installing red flag laws nationwide. Even though violent crime is down nationwide, Those links you see above prove we must take action at the voting booths to make this nation even safer.

Wait, wait, wait, the DEA are looking at a surge of coke coming here but not arresting anyone? I wonder how are they "testing" it? How did they acquire it without arresting someone? So many questions about that last link. As for the rest, you can see cops doing their job getting ambushed while the DEA sniff, I mean "test" cocaine in a fucking "secret lab." What the fuck!

All of it is bad but, that last link is a total holy shit moment. No wonder crime is down across the nation. The only problem I have is the fucking repeat offenders that still can access firearms and commit crimes. This an epic failure of our criminal justice system. You politicians need to fix this so domestic terrorist on "parole" can't shoot 14 year olds ever again.

What did a 16 year old girl do that pissed off a domestic terrorist to stab her multiple times? We can only speculate. I hope she knew the asshole so police can catch them quickly. On a side note. I hate seeing that crime is down nationwide but a 16 year old got stabbed id the first headline you see. I'm out.

So that second link could not stop the first link? So much for their version of the movie Minority Report. If haven't seen the movie let me spoil it for you. Law enforcement use psychics to stop crimes before they happen. Now that I think about it, the CIA used them for spy missions. Maybe law enforcement is missing out on using them from time to time? It''s just a thought.

Well, well, well. Now the religious leaders of all faiths and their respective flocks have decided to get involved. Lets see how effective this will be. Oh! That third link is a complete failure of the criminal justice system. 30 fucking priors? Why was he released? He should have been locked up after his second or third offense. As for the rest. Don't trust people.
