[17 Dead] Numerous Fatalities at Douglas High School, Parkland, FL

[euphemia]

Of all the school shootings, this one makes me the saddest. Somewhere along the way we are letting the system fail kids. The way to save 17 people and the rest who were shot would have been to save Nicholas when he was still reachable. Most of the other shooters came from well off families with parents and grandparents around them. Nikolas Cruz had nobody except the system that managed him with drugs.

Of course the system is failing kids.

It's not designed to uplift, instruct and embolden, to teach how to think and reason.

It's designed to break down, to bring into compliance, to control these kids.

That this kind of thing doesn't happen every single day is nothing more than commentary on how thoroughly cowed and docile and broken to the saddle we already are.

Especially young boys, who overwhelmingly are the ones who "snap" and end up carrying out these shootings.

 

[euphemia]

This is why we have a responsibility to our communities. Not assigning blame, ny any means.

We could start by learning how to spell Nikolas' name. But, of course, we didn't pay any attention to him at all until after his SSRI-induced psychotic episode.

 

[euphemia]

Yes, spelling Nikolas correctly would be a start. Thanks.

But it's any kid.

 

[euphemia]

I wonder if anybody will address the stultifying matriarchal authoritarianism, the stifling Grundyism and pettifogging pettiness of the government school system, and how it leads unstable kids, especially young men, to snap after years of being drugged with "sit down and behave yourself" brain scrambling medications?

It looks like most of the adults he shot were men.

Lol.

The (alleged) murderer needed more hugs as a child or what?

That may have been the case. I'm not one who usually has a lot of concern for perps. I just notice that conservatives and libertarians are getting much more violent in their own reactions, and I think it is because of the constant drone of "ban the guns" from the left. It makes me very uncomfortable. I sounds unprincipled that someone would rather shoot a 19yo than mentor a 10yo.

All over the media now that he was a White Nationalist. It sounds fake and I bet the media knows it is fake but I believe they just don't care since it helps their narrative.

Between the media's activism, outright lying or exaggerating on just about everything and the usual complete incompetence in vetting sources this sounds like bs.

Did the media just get played again by 4chan?

So lemme get this straight. A school was shot up by a 19 year old Russian Hispanic Muslim Communist White Supremacist? Do people still believe this stuff even after the bs has been laid on this thick? I mean really, only someone completely brain-dead is buying the media's story at this point. It literally ticks the box of every right wing trigger label.

Named Jesus.

Could happen...

Jesus on the Cross, no less. Cruz is spanish for cross.

Did anyone see some folks walking around with crosses on their foreheads yesterday?

It is naive to think that a psychopath is a name spelled correctly and friend away from normalcy in society.

How you defend yourself against criminals is you defend yourself against criminals. You aren't going to prevent all murders but it is the best chance to prevent a murder and is one that does not violate the rights of all.

The coddled youth of America feel they have it tough? Having no friends and all. Maybe being misidentified in their preferred pronoun. Name's not being spelled correctly?

They might travel where the cancerous babies of a wartorn area are cared for. Or maybe they need shipped to see the man made famine in Yemen. They don't even understand pain.

A bunch of social retards coddled since infancy and peddled drugs, whining about injustice and their feelings... Give me a break.

Had the dog been gunned down within the school I'd have called for his tombstone to be random and mislabelled or his body burned.

Democrats' Confidence in Mass Media Rises Sharply From 2016
http://news.gallup.com/poll/219824/democrats-confidence-mass-media-rises-sharply-2016.aspx

72% of Democrats have a "great deal" or "fair amount" of trust in mass media

It has always worked for them so far why stop now. Just look at the term white nationalism, which is essentially the immigration policy that existed for the majority of US history to maintain an white majority that nobody every batted an eye about. They have fear mongered the term so much people are learning to equate the term with racism, discrimination and Nazis. The media is ensuring people cannot determine the difference between White Nationalism and White Supremacy.

Really? And who adopted you? How long did you have your father? Where did you go when your mother died? Who filled your system full of drugs? Not exactly someone who was coddled since infancy. In fact, this is the result of our system.

To hell with the bastard.

Oh my, I can't wait to see the gun control policies that would be enacted after Ivanka is done crying to daddy. He will send the feds busting into everyone's house. Think Australian gun control on steroids.

Hope I am wrong but I am afraid that this is the president and the crisis they've all been waiting for.

Hug your AR for the last time folks cos Trump and the feds will be taking it to stud farm

Uh huh.

That in no way negates what I said.

Good point, almost forgot about her. I am not sure about AR confiscation but I think they are stupid enough to push mental health laws regardless of the fine details. We would end up with something like if you were ever prescribed an SSRI or some other mind altering medication in your lifetime you would lose your gun rights.

I think that the liberty movement would benefit from never letting a crisis go to waste. Of course many of us have come to loath the media and that mindset of politicians to use a tragedy to exploit people during their emotionally trying times, but it’s got to work both ways.

Instead of sitting back and watching others control the narrative that more gun control is needed, we could all be out there pushing the friendly voices such as Ben swann to explore the reasons why gun control methods have failed. We could be tweeting and facebooking support for armed teachers. We should know that the liberals want to use the tragedy to push their agendas, but they are on the wrong side of history.

I believe growing numbers of people are seeing gun control as failed policy. These people need to raise their voices, especially during times like these- there are people who are trying to cope with their thought processes which are all screwed up from the emotions of imagining these young kids last moments. I think we all want nothing more than to protect the kids from nutbags, and need to try to appeal to the logical side- which says gun control doesn’t work. The crazies will find a way and it’s time to re-examine if schools should be considering letting willing teachers arm themselves. They are the front lines in schools today.

I can't speak for everybody, just myself, but I'm feeling backed into a corner by the violent, genocidal rhetoric of the Bolshevik left, that, far from being shouted down in academia and media and the public square, is being encouraged and cheered on.

Thus my increasingly hard nosed and unforgiving stance.
