Another mass shooting at a Walmart. |
Scream in the faces of these damn lawmakers whenever they offer their "thoughts and prayers" to every fucking mass shooting in the United States. They will offer their condolences and say a word vomit how they sympathize with the deceased. Some here will tell us that "now isn't the time to talk." Others will say that "the NRA has too much influence on gun laws."
We will talk about this for a few days and then we're off to another controversy. The next controversy would either be something done by Donald J. Trump, a politician, an entertainer or another mass shooting. The next mass shooting will be even worse than the last one.
Lives will be interrupted again by an act of gun violence.
Thoughts and prayers, thoughts and prayers. Thoughts and prayers won't heal the wounded or bring back the dead. It's just meaningless platitudes and I am getting sick and tired of folks posting on social media saying they have their condolences for those killed by gun violence.
THERE IS NO GOD.
GOD IS NOT FIXING THIS.
GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES.
As expected, Trump, Mike Pence, Gov. Greg Abbott, the 36 U.S. Representatives, Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) will run the usual "thoughts and prayers" platitudes. The candidates running for the Democratic nomination will address this and many other tragedies involving gun violence.
Terrible shootings in ElPaso, Texas. Reports are very bad, many killed. Working with State and Local authorities, and Law Enforcement. Spoke to Governor to pledge total support of Federal Government. God be with you all!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 3, 2019

Saddened by the loss of so many innocent lives in El Paso, TX. Our prayers are with the victims, their families, and the entire community. Grateful for the courageous efforts and swift action by federal law enforcement and local first responders.— Vice President Mike Pence (@VP) August 3, 2019
We're in shock over the tragic events at Cielo Vista Mall in El Paso, where store 2201 & club 6502 are located. We’re praying for the victims, the community & our associates, as well as the first responders. We’re working closely with law enforcement & will update as appropriate.— Walmart (@Walmart) August 3, 2019
You won't see Abbott or Texas state lawmakers do a damn thing about gun violence. However, if you want to practice bigotry under guise of fast food, hey there's a state law protecting your right to be a bigot. They passed a "religious freedom" law to protect a fucking chicken sandwich.
No joke. There's a law to protect Chick-fil-A from scrutiny because of their anti-LGBTQ company executives.
How many photo-ops will these damn politicians do to make folks "feel good" about themselves?
Large response to a mass shooting in a suburban El Paso Walmart. |
Trump, Congress, the National Rifle Association and agitators in the junk food media are lily livered cowards. They are numb to this. They'll offer nothing more than thoughts and prayers, moments of silences, lowering of flags, naming of streets, candlelight vigils, dedications of parks and memorials, letters of sympathy and no initiatives to stop the next mass shooting.
The Blame Game often comes after I do a posting about a mass shooting. I will address the shooter only by name in the title not in the posting. Whenever I put up a poll, we often see the same bullshit from trolls. Smart folks often pick the shooter.
The trolls rather the most dumbest answers besides the shooter.
I am very ashamed of the United States.
Does "thoughts and prayers" stop mass shootings? (Expect trolls to pick the dumbest answers)
THE NICE GUY IS THE MOST DANGEROUS PERSON WITH A FIREARM. THOSE WHO ARE SPURN BY RELATIONSHIPS, THE WORKPLACE, SOCIETY IN GENERAL WILL SEEK REVENGE BY TAKING OUT LIVES. THEY WANT TO BE RECOGNIZED FOR THEIR ACHIEVEMENTS OF MASSACRING THEIR FELLOW HUMAN BEING. THE JUNK FOOD MEDIA AND POLITICIANS ADD FUEL TO THE FIRE BY AMPING UP POLARIZING RHETORIC . INSTEAD OF WORKING TOGETHER ON SOLVING THIS MAN-MADE CRISIS, WE RETURN TO SAME SHIT. AFTER A FEW DAYS OF COVERAGE, WE MOVE ON TO ANOTHER CONTROVERSY. THEN LATER ANOTHER MASS SHOOTING AND IT WOULD BE WORSE THAN THE LAST ONE.
The race of the suspect doesn't matter. The nationality doesn't matter. The religion doesn't matter. The motive doesn't matter. The terrorist managed to find a way to outmaneuver the law. He managed to inflict harm over a period of five minutes before the law put an end to the carnage.
The mass shooter harbored a hatred. I don't care what his hatred was.
You can't enjoy a day shopping at Walmart. |
Why do we continue to do this?
I keep asking myself, when will we do less of the Blame Game and do more Solutions To This stories?
Mind you there is a website called the Gun Violence Memorial. It is the closest thing to getting an understanding of who became the latest victim of gun violence in the United States.
The National Rifle Association will try to promote the bullshit about "good guys with guns" narrative. The far-white agitators will call the terrorist a Democrat. They will claim that his nationality, religion and race are the real issues.
The terrorist was a white male who likely was an incel. The NICE GUY who was spurned by relationships, fired from his workplace, feuding with family and friends and hating a changing society.
Those are the ones who obtain firearms. They purchase firearms in states that have little restrictions.
They horde the firearms and prepare for the moment to let the bullets fly. They end up becoming martyrs for the next potential threat. Many of these terrorists cite the Columbine School massacre, the Turner Diaries, that troll's website, the Oklahoma City bombing and far-right kookspiracies like QAnon.
Expect Trump to visit Texas to meet with victim of the latest mass shooting. Trump and Greg Abbott will be in El Paso too to do his photo-op and offer phony sympathy. |
The shooter lived in the area and was atoned to some form of far-white lunacy.
The neighbors who knew the terrorist say that he's a good guy who was often quiet, friendly but a mildly strange.
Last mass shooting in Walmart happened on Monday. This was in suburban Memphis. The terrorist entered a Southaven, Mississippi Walmart and killed two men and injured two others before the law stopped him.
Multiple people were killed Saturday in a shooting at a shopping center in El Paso, Texas, according to local officials.
El Paso Mayor Dee Margo and police Sgt. Enrique Castillo confirmed there were multiple fatalities.
Authorities do not believe there is an ongoing threat, Castillo told reporters.
One suspect is in custody, according to Sgt. Robert Gomez.
The Walmart location is just a mile from Interstate 10 in East El Paso. |
Eleven victims were transported to the Del Sol Medical Center, hospital spokesman Victor Guerrero said. Another 11 victims were taken to the University Medical Center of El Paso, according to spokesman Ryan Mielke.
Police began receiving reports of an active shooter around 10 a.m. (noon ET), Gomez said in a brief news conference at the scene. Authorities were initially given multiple possible locations for the shooting, Gomez said, at both a Walmart and the Cielo Vista Mall next door.
They also received reports of an incident at a second mall, several miles away from the Cielo Vista mall, but they confirmed that scene was safe.
Multiple agencies, including the FBI and the local sheriff's department, have responded to the scene to assist El Paso authorities.
Democratic presidential candidate Beto O'Rourke, who once represented the area in Congress, asked residents to follow the directions of first responders.
"Truly heartbreaking," O'Rourke said on Twitter. "Stay safe, El Paso."
They will clean up the bio hazards and write off items that were stolen during the shooting. They will call upon workers to come back to work. Those workers who were killed will have their families notified.
How many more before we get something done?
I hate repeating myself.
The junk food media hasn't confirmed the name yet. Social media has and I'm going ahead and do the Blame Game series.
Stay tuned.
