School shooting in Parkland Florida

[PaceAdvantage]

They just ignore when blacks get killed in Chicago with guns because it doesn't fit the narrative as nicely...CNN only has itself to blame on this one...

They aren't covering the mass killing of blacks in Chicago with guns because it's not politically advantageous to do so...since Chicago is a pretty strict gun-control city and all...they'd have a tough time explaining away all that needs to be explained away...

I always wondered why no coverage of Chicago crime.

No, it is logical to assume that the poster thinks it explains the tweet. And if the tweet is nonsense or highly partisan, I am not interested in further explanation.

Any "further explanation" can be easily summarized in a sentence to two to allow the reader to decide if it is worth looking at. In this case, available information led me to concluded it wasn't worth looking at. If you want me to read something, convince me. If you don't, it is your fault, not mine.

In this case, the tweet was about Mr. Justice Breyer's dissent and the video was an explanation of his view of the 2nd amendment.

There are a lot of examples of folks posting links without explanation (most of them by those on the right of the political spectrum) this is not one of them.

Correct, and I never post links without an explanation, as Clocker purports. It's just his lame, bullshit excuse for ignoring the material in the links.

He's also a hypocrite with his "partisan" claim, since he frequently posts links from Breitbart, the Blaze, Zero Hedge, PJ Media, and various other nutball outlets.

Article from the Fort Lauderdale paper about how Cruz was able to get around school security.

Kids are sitting ducks at dismissal time.The high school I worked in had two exits, one for walkers (maybe400-500 kids ) and the other 1200-1300 who rode the bus went out the other.

Impossible to shut it down tight at the end of the day.

If the Jimmy Kimmel’s and other whiners of the world really cared about gun violence they would be marching in the streets of Chi town and screaming about the failures of Rahm Emanuel et al on their TV shows. Nope, can’t do that! That would be calling out the Dem leaders of Chicago, Detroit etc. they would be screaming that the most dangerous person in America is a black man between the ages of 13-33. They would be pointing out that illegal aliens commit a hugely disproportionate amount of crime. Yet they can’t do that......THAT WOULD BE CRITICISING THEIR VOTING BASE. CANT DO THAT!

It’s not about dead kids. It’s about controlling their political enemies.

I have no obligation to read anything posted here. If you want me to read something, give me a reason.

I go where I have to for facts, especially if the MSM is ignoring the facts. And I don't dismiss facts based on the source. But if you post a clearly partisan opinion and link to someone else's clearly partisan opinion to "support" it, I'm not interested. That matter is clearly subjective, and my right to decide.

For the benefit of Clocker and other lazy posters, the above links to a story about the FBI receiving a tip about Cruz's accumulation of weapons, deteriorating mental health, troubling social media posts and erratic behavior.
The FBI acknowledges receiving the material and admits to failing to follow proper procedures to investigate. They are unable at this time to say why this occurred.

Too busy chasing Trump ghosts...

Chicago is notorious for clearing their jammed up courts and over-crowded jails with plea bargains and probation, even for crimes like gun possession.

I too see all these kids with all kinds of problems we never saw en masse when I was a kid...claustrophobia, anxiety, etc. etc. It's insane.

And don't get me started on autism and all these kids who are "on the spectrum"...basically everybody is on the "spectrum" these days...anything to write more prescriptions...

I know families where up to 3 kids were medicated for ADD or whatever they call it. I know two brothers who were medicated for ADD or whatever for 10 years or so each, then they went in the Navy which miraculously cured their ADD.

My favorite is the person with "anger control issues" funny that those issues usually only flair up around someone weaker than they are.

While I was flipping stations on the radio in the DC area a couple Sunday's ago an obvious liberal preacher during a ranting sermon was blaming the "racist" NRA for homicides in the inner cities. Nowhere was he blaming blacks for killing each other. It is always the guns fault.

i was responding to the bit where he said one can't buy alcohol until 21, but can buy guns.

that is idiotical in the extreme, it it's true, if it's not, then he should not have said it.

so is that the law, and is it as it should be???
