I usually do the same copy and paste, the poll and the obvious reactions like most Americans who hear about another mass shooting. This time I want to let you know what your tasks are to stay alive if you are involved in a mass shooting.

An active shooter doesn't care about the politics, race, gender, sexuality, nationality, religion, your finances, your family, your plans that day, your successes, your failures, and most importantly, your life.

The shooter is motivated within seconds to take out as many people as he/she can.

What to do to protect your life.

1. Run - If you hear sounds like firecrackers, popping sounds or suspicious activities around a large gathering (i.e. malls, stores, clubs, public gatherings), if you can flee, run away from the shooter. Do not run in a straight path of the sight. Move around and zig-zag if possible to keep yourself out the line of fire. It's best to not film a shooter commiting the act. If you are willing to risk your life for a viral video, more power to you but its best to stay out of the line of fire by running away.

Food trucks were ambushed by a terrorist.

2. Hide - If you are involved in an active shooting, you must barricade yourself in a room and keep doors locked, lights off, phones on silent. Do not go into restrooms, lockers and kitchens. Those are most likely places where shooters often go. If you can barricade a room to prevent a shooter from getting in, it eliminate the opportunity for the shooter to get through. Make sure you keep your voice low when you're involved in mass shooting. Call 9-1-1 if you can.

3. Fight - If you are willing to risk your life or willing to film the incident, you have no choice but to fight. Make sure you grab something that is powerful enough to disarm a shooter. Do not confront a shooter in the midst of sight. Make yourself not visible if you're trying to fight. Do not think being a "good guy with a gun" is going to stop a bad guy. The cops don't see good guys trying to stop bad guys. They see active shooters and they will shoot anyone who is armed regardless of the matter. If you're ready to fight, be prepared to die. It's best to not be easily seen if you're trying to stop a shooter. But if you are willing to go hero, you could die a hero or an idiot.

The list is just a sample of the month of May. There's too many. The ones I've covered included Uvalde, Buffalo and Laguna Hills, California. Mind you Buffalo had three other mass shootings before the white terrorist attack. Texas had multiple mass shooting before Uvalde. California has numerous mass shootings in areas outside Los Angeles, San Francisco amd Oakland.

There are 29 Republicans governors in 28 states and the Northern Mariana Islands.

Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa,  Massachusetts, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Carolina, North Dakota, Northern Mariana Islands, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina. South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia and West Virginia have Republican governors. Of the 29, only six of them may be willing to change gun laws but of course, they chicken out at the last minute. 

The Republican are only seven seats away from a constitutional majority. A majority that could make a constitutional amendment to fundamentally change laws.

Mass shootings are a curse in America.

Gun laws, abortion, women rights, religious freedom, campaign finance, LGBTQ rights, civil rights and science is on the line. Americans could see a country moving towards minority rule. White supremacy could dominate another generation due to these fucking culture wars.

President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, Gov. Karen Stitt, Sen. Karen Inhofe (R-OK), Sen. Karen Lankford (R-OK) and the five U.S. Representative Karens in Oklahoma delegation were made aware of the shooting in Taft.

Taft is located in Muskogee County. It is 45 miles from downtown Tulsa. It is a Black majority town.

A terrorist has surrendered to authorities Sunday, wanted in connection with a shooting in Taft that left one person dead and seven others injured.

The terrorist surrendered to the Muskogee County Sheriff’s Office and the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation Sunday afternoon concerning the incident in Taft, Muskogee County District Attorney Larry Edwards said. He is currently being booked into the Muskogee County jail.

The shooting took place at a Memorial Day festival in Taft, the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation said Sunday.

It is located on the Creek Nation reservation. The town has 500 residents.

Two of the wounded were juveniles, OSBI reported. The conditions of the victims were not immediately known.

The shooting happened just after midnight with 1,500 people in attendance at Old City Square.

Witnesses told authorities just after midnight there was an argument and then gunfire broke out.

The Muskogee County Sheriff’s Office was in attendance at the event and immediately rendered aid to the victims, the OSBI said.

Authorities have not released the names or ages of the victims.

Anyone at the event who witnessed the shooting should contact the OSBI at (800) 522-8017 or email tips@osbi.ok.gov. You can remain anonymous.

Muskogee Mayor Marlon Coleman offered prayers to the neighboring town which is about 10 miles away.

“The neighboring town of Taft Oklahoma is a part of our Muskogee community, and we are praying for the people of Taft and all of the families involved in this weekend’s senseless shooting, especially for the families of the bereaved and the many children left traumatized from this tragic episode,” Coleman said in a Facebook post.

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.  

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.

The call number to the U.S. Capitol is now going to be used. This is the official phone number, 202-224-3121. Let them know that "thoughts and prayers" are no longer acceptable and you want legislation to curb gun violence.

GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE PROBLEM IN THE UNITED STATES.
