    It's not funny when people die. 
    It’s not funny when all the gun zealots can offer is prayers! But at this point it’s just funny that that’s all they fall back on prayers 🤣🤣🤣🙏🤣🤣😂😂😂😂
    You laugh at people dying. That's cute. 
    oh FFS stop being so intentionally disingenuous. You know he's not laughing at people dying. He's been here for years decrying your nation's gun violence problem. But you just feel the need to score self points to feel better.

    I think the answer to the meth problem in america is MORE meth. If only good people had meth, they'd be able to stop bad people from having it.

    I hope you can find it in your heart to see how ridiculous this is.  Mental health issue? There are mental health issues all over the world. You know what the actual problem is here. Everyone does. Yet 40% of the country is simply afraid to admit it.

    ‘No Way To Prevent This,’ Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens

    LEWISTON, ME—In the hours following a violent rampage in Maine in which a lone attacker killed at least 16 individuals and injured numerous others, citizens living in the only country where this kind of mass killing routinely occurs reportedly concluded Wednesday that there was no way to prevent the massacre from taking place. “This was a terrible tragedy, but sometimes these things just happen and there’s nothing anyone can do to stop them,” said Idaho resident Peter Carter, echoing sentiments expressed by tens of millions of individuals who reside in a nation where over half of the world’s deadliest mass shootings have occurred in the past 50 years and whose citizens are 20 times more likely to die of gun violence than those of other developed nations. “It’s a shame, but what can we do? There really wasn’t anything that was going to keep this individual from snapping and killing a lot of people if that’s what they really wanted.” At press time, residents of the only economically advanced nation in the world where roughly two mass shootings have occurred every month for the past eight years were referring to themselves and their situation as “helpless.”

    If the whole Jesus thing is true do we honestly believe he’s still hanging out watching us?  

    Free will.  Jesus has nothing to do with it.  
    But if FF gets elected again he’s stupid enough to cause the rapture.

  • “Next to a kids bowling league.” Let that sink in. Add bowling alley to the long list of places you can’t go without worrying about getting shot.

    ‘An amazing father’: Bowling alley victim tried to fight back

    Return to menu

    Stacey Deslauriers, 46, was driving when she got the call.

    At first she struggled to understand what her boyfriend was saying over the sound of the police sirens: Her ex-husband of 14 years, the father of her adult children, had died in the bowling alley.

    She pulled over, sobbing. She’d known Michael Deslauriers since they were in elementary school.

    “He was an amazing man,” she said. “An amazing father. An amazing provider.”

    She wasn’t surprised, she said, when Michael’s girlfriend — who had been with him when the gunman stormed Just-In-Time Recreation, a bowling alley — told her that Michael had tried to fight back. He’d urged her to hide behind the ball rack, she said, before lunging at the attacker.

    The couple had been bowling with friends next to a children’s league.

    Michael’s first instinct was to protect the kids, Stacey Deslauriers said.

    “He was a hero,” she said. “Truly a hero.”

  • ‘I don’t even want to talk basketball,’ Sacramento Kings coach says

    Return to menu

    Sacramento Kings Coach Mike Brown declined to talk about basketball at a news conference Wednesday, instead using the time to speak about the shooting in Lewiston, Maine.

    “I’m not that smart, but I know we, as a country, got to do something,” he said as the news conference began. He called the shooting “sad” and “absolutely disgusting.”

    Brown dodged questions from journalists wanting to talk about his team’s 130-114 win against the Utah Jazz, saying that the shooting was a sad day for America and for the world. “We sit here and watch this happen time after time after time after time, and nobody does anything about it,” he said. “This is going to keep happening.”

    “Our kids aren’t going to be able to enjoy what the United States is about because we don’t know how to fix a problem that is right in front of us,” Brown said. He noted that some NBA players have been outspoken on gun-control issues, including Chris Paul and LeBron James.

    “Can I ask you a basketball question?” one member of the media asked Brown.

    “I don’t even want to talk basketball, I am sorry. We played a game. Obviously, we won. If we can’t fix this, it is over for our country,” he said, before standing up and ending the interview.
