| On Friday there was a mass shooting in Milwaukee. |
There was a mass shooting in Milwaukee. The shooting happened on Friday but was ignored by the junk food media for the Buffalo tragedy. Also we have heard there was another mass shooting at a California church.
Again we have too many of these incidents in the U.S. and it's getting really infuriating that our lawmakers in Washington are too afraid to do something. The only thing many of these lawmakers offer are "thoughts and prayers."
Enough of that.... Pass legislation to curb gun violence.
So in downtown Milwaukee, the city had a mass shooting that involved dozens of people and over nearly dozens of victims injured by gunfire. It promoted the mayor of the city to issue a curfew.
President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, Gov. Tony Evers, Mayor Cavalier Johnson, Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-WI), Sen. Karen Johnson (R-WI), the U.S. Representatives for Wisconsin were notified of this incident.
This incident happened after the Milwaukee Bucks game. It happened in the Deer District. The Bucks lost to the Boston Celtics and it led to anger by fans.

So it led to unrest where some used firearms to shoot at fans.
The Bucks cancelled a scheduled event due to the mayor imposing a curfew.
Johnson said that this curfew will be in effect for the time being.
"To put it simply, if you intend to loiter, i fyou intend to act out, cut up, if you intend to do anything unlawful, then my message is simple: Don't come here," Johnson said.
This event happened around a series of other shootings. There was a mass shooting in which a 16-year old girl, two men 29 and 26 were shot by a 19-year old man. Then a 20 year old man was shot nearly a hour before the 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 personal problems, 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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
