And the child of a cop.

Who could have seen this coming
Can’t wait to hear them say “well he donated $5 to the democratic party 10 eyars ago”
They’re asking if he was on anti-depressants. Everyone else is a murderer, terrorist, what have you. When it’s one of theirs? Just a misguided kid on SSRIs.
Contrast with keying a car and being labeled a terrorist. By scratching a cybertruck, you become an enemy of the state—something a republican school shooter could never dream of.
Or they find a post where he said something nice about Bernie Sanders.
Young white men are being indoctrinated with 24/7 propaganda telling them they are the real victims
What/Where is this propaganda?
Check Adolescence https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/adolescence for a drama on the topic.
Warning: VERY dramatic.
Social media, podcasts and media
I’m sorry, I try to keep my media intake low, but what is being said that makes these white men feel like victims? Or, portraying them as the victim?
Are you really fully unaware of incels, the manosphere, and the alt-right pipeline? This shit is all over social media.
There’s a strong encouragement for men to fall into this “redpill” philosophy that casts everyone who doesn’t look like them, especially anyone who ends up on the less-privileged end of any measure of intersectional privilege, as an aggressor attempting to steal their place in society and “replace” them.
Have you heard anyone complaining about how you can’t make jokes anymore or can’t compliment women anymore? They’re echoing a hallucination of white male oppression by queer feminist socialists. In response they elected Trump and spend their days rumbling around in their massive coal-rolling pickup trucks that have never seen a speck of dirt or a heavier load than a few groceries or maybe a couch.
I see you’ve never heard of Fox News.
What if one doesn’t watch fox news?
He’s probably getting a pardon and an ice position
And ice cream with the cops
He was one of the “homegrowns”. Any bets on him going to CECOT?
Nah, he’ll become a brownshirt.
Agreed they’ll have him pardoned, kidnapping people and dragging them into unmarked cars as soon as possible
You mean silver shirt?
With a golden Trump pin
They were saying he was an illegal all over MAGAtard social media. Until the facts came out. Then they started deleting in mass to cover up their lies.
The truth was busy putting it’s shoes on.
“En masse”.
Which is French for in mass.
Le niceeeeee
Not gonna lie I thought your username was Copaganda at first.
No, I do not have dyslexia lol
I like that. I’m def going to use it.
I was recently thinking it’s says a lot about a culture, where kids shoot up schools regularly, but immigrants getting a terrible treatment never seem to shoot up an ICE office or other government building.
People in US culture want to think this is a product of white christian men getting hurt and isolated to the point that the poor innocent souls wander into committing a school shooting.
The negative mental health is only part of the equation and isn’t even critical to it, what IS critical is teaching christian white men that they have the inherent right given who they are to commit violence and nobody else does.
This is why you see that “incongruity”.
I think both are part of the same culture to be honest, they are just in very different positions both pushed to an extreme situation (the kids shooting up schools and the government officials threating immigrants like crap). Personally I believe you get what you give and this is the result of a society that is getting what it has been giving (or not giving, really). Really sad situation where a lot of people get way less than they deserve (the parents of the killed kids, the children of the deported families etc)
“Homegrown criminal” off to El Salvador with you! Right Donny? Right?!
“He’s just a bad apple”
“Lone wolf”
“Let’s talk about mental health”
Bad apple from the 250-year-old Southern Orchard.
“Okay, what can we do for mental health?”
“Nothing or genocide/restablish the patriarchy, fuck you lib”
“He should have gotten a job with health insurance so he can afford therapy!”
“We need Jesus in schools!”
No joke, I’ve heard people say that exact thing in response. That taking God out of schools is what started all this, so if there was more prayer in school, we wouldn’t have shootings.
Yeah, because nobody does mass shootings in religious places.
The poor kid was clearly driven insane by the wokeness surrounding them. Better ban pronouns.
Unironically how millions of people in America see the world.
Yep. I bet the poor man once saw a trans person when using a public bathroom and was TRAUMATISED
Curious that this is still happening even though Musk has killed the woke mind virus and these guys have won forever.
What a stunning and brave thread
Like your comment history or even braver still?
And his mom is a police officer.
And he used one of her unsecured guns.
In a system where we want to discourage this we need to hold the parents accountable.
I think a life sentence for each life her son took is fair, for her and her son.
irresponsible gun owning parents, who literally put firearms into the hands of their homicidal children, need to be held accountable for these tragedies.
dozens of mass shootings in recent years, especially school shootings, were absolutely preventable. if only these fucking lazy stupid ass adults would stop fetishizing guns for 2 seconds, long enough to store their weapons securely like a sane responsible person. or they could, idk, maybe steer their mentally disturbed crotch goblin towards a more pro-social, harmless activity?
firearm ownership is a responsibility too few take seriously.
Maybe just less guns?
No. We’ve been having too many random fires lately. The obvious answer is MORE FLAMETHROWERS! Yeah! That’ll fix all the fires!
Fight fire with fire! That’ll surely work.
This is kind of a bad example because, rhetoric aside, in various situations you can fight fire with fire and in fact it’s the best way to do it. I.e. controlled burns of areas subject to wildfires are used to lessen the amount of tinder lying around the place that could later go up in an uncontrolled manner. You can also put out an oil well fire by blowing the flame out with dynamite.
So to stretch the analogy further, maybe we ought to start focusing on what (who) ought to be controlled burned.
The analogy of controllably burning the right people seems an effective way to restore the democratic order (although it could also be used to tighten the fascist grip I guess).
Maybe more dynamite actually is the way. Ukraine uses IEDs in mailboxes to take down important people in Moscow for example.
Not a fan of Luigi’s violent means, but maybe we (or actually they since I’m also not American) have start fighting fire with fire.
Very good points. I didn’t know about the oil dynamite thing. Interesting. My previous comment was also slightly sarcastic. Just going along with the post I was responding to haha.
That last sentence though, agreed. (I’m also not an American, so there’s less guns where I’m from).
The NRA has entered the chat.
Why not life sentences for grand parents too? Uncles and aunts? Doctors, teachers…
I’m sorry context is such an issue for you
It must be hard
If a gun owner’s gun is used in a murder, the owner should be charged with second-degree murder, full stop. When you own a gun, it is your responsibility to keep and secure it properly. I don’t care if it’s stolen or whatever, that gun is ultimately the responsibility of the owner. That’s the social contract when acquiring a device whose sole purpose is to kill.
I think stolen is too far as long as the gun owner acts responsibly following the theft and reports it to the police but otherwise, I completely agree. Owning a gun should come with personal accountability for that gun.
If the gun owner did not properly secure the weapon, and this led to theft, they should definitively be held responsible. In some areas in the US, when you steal a car, you get a free firearms collection with it.
Guy I grew up with had his truck broken into outside a hotel a couple years ago. They stole a bunch of his tools from the cab and tool box in the bed but left a pistol that was sitting on his passenger seat, another one that was sitting on the case of his diagnostics tool that was sitting on top of his center console, which they stole, along with the ammo and a rifle he had in the toolbox in the bed of his truck. I agree storing shit like that is irresponsible and should also be met with consequences, although some establishments you can’t take a gun into so having it cleared and in a locked gun case in the vehicle I believe to be a reasonable measure. Only reason I can imagine they left all his guns and ammo behind is that there must be more significant charges and/or investigative resources that go into a situation where firearms are involved where he lives.
