Ongoing gun violence/injury thread

Yeah, but that's not going to be enough, and it's probably too late. We are at the point where ~70% of votes need to be for Dems just to get a simple majority in legislatures in many counties and states to undo the Nazi damage to our institutions. I am not optimistic about the future.

We're fucked
 
In the case of the Buffalo tragedy, is Fox News AWOL? And why?

Shooting? What shooting?

You mean the mass shooting at a supermarket in Buffalo Saturday that left 10 people dead, and three injured? The one where 11 of the 13 victims were African American? The one where the killer posted a manifesto citing the "great replacement theory" as his motivation? The one being investigated as an act of domestic terrorism? That shooting?

We watched Fox News for an hour and a half Sunday morning, from 9:30 a.m. to 11 a.m., curious to hear their take on this horrific event. Surely there would be something — in the inimitable Fox style. Perhaps an expert saying we shouldn't rush to judgment and call it a hate crime. Or that "woke" liberals were seizing on the event as an opportunity to take away your Second Amendment rights.

We waited and waited.

There was one reference, somewhere between 9:30 a.m. and 10 a.m. A shooting in Buffalo had occurred, Fox told its viewers, and people were dead. But no elaboration, no commentary, no on-the-scene interviews. Perhaps 15 seconds, all told.

Among the topics that were deemed important enough to merit air time: the baby formula shortage, Biden's "two impeachable offenses," the criminal case against a Clinton-aligned lawyer, Michael Sussmann, the Steele dossier — remember the Steele dossier? — and something about chickens in Times Square.

Fox News has the right to its own agenda, just as MSNBC or CNN or CBS has the right to theirs. Everyone spins in their own way. Everyone orders the news based on their conception of what is news.

This is not a both sides issue. Fox "news" explicitly lies non stop and ignores reality. When fox news tried a little honesty (Biden won Arizona) the deplorables got pissed and tuned in to oan and newsmax who are even worse shills for the deplorable insurrection party.

Also, this is like watching 90 minutes of SEC Network to see what they have to say about Wake football.

Yep
 
Barnes said Cheng, survived by a wife and two children, heroically charged at the shooter and attempted to disarm him, allowing others to intervene. Cheng probably saved the lives “of upwards of dozens of people,” the sheriff said.

A pastor hit the gunman on the head with a chair and parishioners hog-tied him with electrical cords. But Cheng was hit by gunshots.

“Understanding that there was elderly everywhere and they couldn’t get out of the premises because the doors had been chained … he took it upon himself to charge across the room and to do everything he could to disable the assailant,” said Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer.

The guy locked them in. It would've been so much worse if not for the heroism of a pastor and a man who brought his mother to church that day.
 
now the death toll is at least 15

seems like there is confusion whether 15 people were injured or whether 15 were killed. Earlier reports indicated that 2 were killed, so not sure if it actually jumped to 15 or not...

Either way, just the worst.
 
FUCK WHY what in the world would make you kill children Jesus this world is so fucked

lotta tweets I've seen showing Gov Abbott confirmed 14 students/teacher(s) and the gunman.
 
2 killed and at least a dozen injured during elementary school shooting in TX.

The Onion headline should just be the front page every damn day - ‘No Way To Prevent This,’ Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens

"Despite a swift response from local law enforcement, it took about an hour and a half for police to take the suspected shooter into custody."

These assholes can gun down an unarmed Black guy on sight but they can gently arrest a child killer for 90 minutes.
