    Do we fear, do we hide
    Is reality of this life so intense
    Do we hate whats inside
    Do we swagger in our pride
    Living a pretense
    Not noting the mother who cried
    We scream the thoughts and prayers
    Knowing no one hears
    Hiding under chairs
    This anger comes in layers

    oddly, they themselves know they're full of sh*t, but they resort to this tactic in an effort to distort & disparage their opposition, they've come to realize that repetitive image distortion is their only chance at gaining control... brainwashing, as it were...

    If either of them spewed venom the way trump does - yes. Certainly the shooter in these cases take the largest share of fault. But when you've got someone who mentally is right on the edge and the damaging things you say pushes them over that edge, you damn right you share the responsibility.

    And a huge proportion of guns in Mexico came across the border from the US

    So they have an interest in securing the border, right?

    Mexico knows that a wall does not work. Making guns harder to obtain would reduce the number of guns going across the border

    So now we have our 5th leftist poster advocating for violence. I wonder why they are always on the left though.

    So Trump is responsible for EVERY SINGLE mass shooting this year? Are they ALL white supremacist perps? Boy, you really ARE 78! At least then I could understand that you're making a connection to Trumps's rhetoric, but how do you connect his rhetoric to the non-white supremacist ones?

    The guy that shot up the baseball field was citing Bernie word for word. The animal that bombed the ICE building quoted AOC.

    Haven’t heard the MSM Call either of them out. They just ignored it all. They personally didn’t acknowledge any of it unlike what the MSM aid demanding of Trump. Screw the MSM. Liars and two faced hypocrites, all of them.

    More of the Same RW BS "narrative" trying to equate Gang Drive-Bys (and Domestic Squabbles) with Loons (like the El Paso shooter) to deflect from Trump's RACIST Causation.

    Nobody (repeat NOBODY) is buying the RW's Ludicrous Attempt at "Equivalency".

    Who said there aren't other stupid people in this world besides trump? No one. It does happen to be a fact that he's the worst, most deplorable, ignorant person to ever occupy the Oval Office. I'm sure his 'hate speech' impacts more people than anything you, AOC, Bernie or I could ever say.

    Dayton wasn't a drive by or domestic squabble. Just another Trump hating loon.

    Two quick comments. Your 292 total is not believable. You will not fix the gun violence problem with politics and laws. It is a cultural problem. Our culture is sick.

    But it isn't sick. And thinking so is what breeds violence. Many of those mass shooters dwell on everything they perceive as wrong, shut themselves up inside their heads, come to the conclusion that life sucks, and then do evil deeds.

    Look at your life. Yesterday. Did you experience any violence? Was everything horrible? Anyone shoot at you? Did you see anyone get beat up? Did people yell and curse you?

    Or did you get up, go to work, eat lunch, go home, spend time with the family, eat good food, chill out doing whatever you like to do?

    Our culture is not sick. With 328 million people, there are simply going to be a few nutjobs here and there. Life in America is absolutely grand. And if you can't see that, and act on that, and lead an enjoyable life, I pity you.

    Every one of us has reason to be grateful.

    Edit: Oops, my apologies if I came across on the gruff side.
