Easter Mass: Mass Shootings Everywhere!

Mass shooting in Columbia, South Carolina. Deadly mass shootings in U.S.

Grantville, Georgia, Columbia, South Carolina and Pittsburgh were the scenes of mass shootings this Easter weekend.

All suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Again, President Joe Biden can't wave a magic wand and make gun violence disappear. It takes an act of Congress. The House of Representatives have passed legislation to curb gun violence. The Senate is the only thing holding up progress. 

Of course, Republicans say that "now isn't the time..." 

Given that Republicans are embracing culture wars and crime is another tactic, they're screaming about violence being on the rise but aren't doing much to stop it. All they're doing is screaming that Democrats are weak on sexual offenders, illegal immigration and crime. 

They won't stop gun violence because it doesn't appeal to their white nationalist base.

City governments can't do much without help from governors and state legislators willing to make change for the good of society. Republicans once they get in power are going to whitewash history, delay laws and try to impeach President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris the moment they get in.

Two boys were killed in a Pittsburgh home after a large scale party went array.

In Pittsburgh, two minors are dead and eight are seriously injured.

Shots were fired at a house part in Pittsburgh on Sunday morning. 

The shooting happened around 12:30am at a short-term rental property. There were over 200 people attending this event and many of the partygoers were underage. 

Two male victims were shot and died later at the hospital. Eight others were being treated for gun shot wounds. The police are trying to figure out the terrorist(s) involved in this shooting.

Police Chief of Pittsburgh Police Scott Schubert said that 50 rounds were fired upon a large gathering and some of the victims were injured in the malee. The property was an Airbnb. So the company and the person who owns the property will cooperate with the police in determining who allowed the event and whether alcohol was inside with underage minors.

Ed Gainey condemned the attack and said that lawmakers in Harrisburg and Washington, DC failed America's cities by not doing things to stop gun violence. It seems like a never ending issue with gun violence in our communities. 

One of the shooters was caught.

Columbia, South Carolina was the scene of a mass shooting in which a group men got into a confrontation and a suspect opened fire on them.

The suspect, 22 was quickly arrested on Sunday. The suspect is being charged with unlawful carrying of pistol and two others are being sought.

The shooting at the Columbiana Centre Mall happened on Saturday afternoon. 

At least 14 people were injured in the shooting. The state and FBI are determining whether this incident could be the results of gang violence or a dispute that happened before the shooting.

At least two other individuals were seen with firearms. Two males who authorities detained for questioning earlier that night were release because they had nothing to do with it.

The age of the victims range from 15 to 73 years old. Nine of them were shot and five suffered injuries trying to flee the gun violence.

The incident happened on Saturday around 2pm.

If you weren't aware of the last mass shooting, there was one at a gun range in Grantsville, Georgia.

A 21 year old man killed the owners of Stock and Barrel gun range. The victims, Luke Hawk, Evelyn Hawk and Tommy Hawk were found inside the facility.

The suspect is charged with three counts of malice murder (first degree murder/homicide). The suspect is facing LIFE or DEATH if convicted.

The incident happened on last Wednesday and the suspect was arrested on Friday. 

The suspect stole weapons and had a cache of firearms inside his home.

Apparently their Orange God didn't save them from the bullets that hit them. 

And even the "good guys" with guns didn't survive the bad guy.

The suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

When is it the time to deal with gun violence?
When the victim count surpasses the Las Vegas massacre.
When the victim count suprasses the U.S. Capitol attack.
When the victim count suprasses the deaths of lawmakers.
When the victim count suprasses the Sandy Hook massacre.
When the victim count suprasses the 9/11 attack.

Every community in the United States will eventually have a legacy. A legacy of tragedy. Gun violence and COVID-19 will affect your town, your family and your life. So I don't want to hear that bullshit about how gun reform is taking away your rights to own firearms. 

I don't want to hear that protesting against police killing people of color is hate on cops in general. I don't want to hear talk about the coronavirus being a myth. 

When you hear folks say "gun rights," what they really mean is that its white privilege.  

Every community has a mass shooting.

I don't want to hear folks say masks and vaccine mandates impede their freedoms. It prevents a deadly outbreak from spreading. If you want to die from the coronavirus, that's on you.

I don't want to hear the shit about guns saving lives. Cause a bullet does not have eyes and it's always likely gonna hit a target. These folks seem to not get it. These incidents are a tragic part of American history. Thoughts and prayers and your heart going out to the victims is not enough. It quite frankly is an insult.

President Joe Biden is trying to curb gun violence. However, he has no support from Republicans. Most Democrats and America are for gun control measures. However the two Democrats in the Senate refuse to change the filibuster rules and its holding us back. 

The National Rifle Association is always pushing against it. They will not relinquish from the narrative that guns are not saving lives. The Republicans aided by a fickle junk food media are openly encouraging anarchy and disruption in a desperate attempt for the Republicans to win back Congress and the White House. These agitators are calling for Biden to curb crime but will not help him. They want more guns on the street. It makes no sense.

So in closing, expect more.

The website Officer Down is a memorial to those who were killed in the line of duty. Those who don't get their names mentioned in the junk food media. Also the website the National Gun Violence Memorial also keeps record of the many individuals killed by gun violence
