    I saw the first few words of this headline and thought it was talking about today’s shooting (no victims it sounds like, thankfully) at a synagogue in Detroit. Nope, this a different shooting today apparently.

    Why can’t people snap and take out the pedofile parasite class and leave their fellow working class people alone?

      Majorites have supported stricter gun laws for a while now but our government doesn’t care what we want

        Majority of your dumb fuck voters elected this government knowing full well they’ll do nothing to curb gun violence.

          Which oddly enough was only the second time since Bush 1.0 Republicans scored a majority of voters. The bigger nuanced items for any non-Americans to understand is that the president is not elected by a popular vote. The Electoral College votes for president. That is comprised of electors selected by each state dependant on how the popular vote within the state turns out. The number of electors is based off congressional representation. That is determined partially/loosely by population for House Representatives plus two for Senators. So our least populous state, Wyoming, has 3 electors at a population of about 590k. Our most populous state, California, only has 55 electors and a population of 39.4M. So the ratio of population to Electoral voter is 197k and 716k respectively. That means for the same amount of influence in a presidential election, California needs to match 716,000 voters for every 197,000 Wyoming voters. This issue is horrifically lopsided in favor of Republicans.

        Oh if only the majority voted for the lesser of two evils… or if the subhumans whom chose to not vote at all did not exist…

        I’ve spent over thirty years reading these headlines, and things only get worse. Sorry if my impatience with the complacency of America outweighs my compassion at this point.
