This terrorist took his own life after taking three and injuring five others.
Today marks the five year date of the Marjorie Stoneman Douglass High School mass shooting in Parkland, Florida. The terrorist murdered 17 and injured dozens. He was convicted of these crimes and was given a LIFE term without a graduation.
Nothing has changed since this massacre. Matter of fact, every mass shooting in the U.S. has not merit much on gun control. President Joe Biden managed to get one step closer by signing the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act.
The laws in the bill include extended background checks for gun purchasers under 21, clarification of Federal Firearms License requirements, funding for state red flag laws and other crisis intervention programs, further criminalization of arms trafficking and straw purchases, and partial closure of the boyfriend loophole. It was the first federal gun safety legislation enacted in 30 years.
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.
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 happens when a Black person shoots a white person?
They obviously go to jail and are judged by the junk food media agitators for having some fault in their life. It is common that the far right wants Black America to condemn the actions of one Black extremist, one Black criminal or one Black politician.
According to the far right: White shooters are mentally ill. Black shooters are unrepentant criminals. Gay shooters are active groomers. Muslim shooters are terrorists. Hispanics and Asians shooters are illegal immigrants. Almost all mass shooters are registered Democrats because they have liked one thing common to the left. Of course, extremists often promote disinformation by using the "Sam Hyde" meme as a way to denounce most mass shooters being white.
The Republicans usually amplify white victims. Anytime a person of color kills a white victim, it is often wall-to-wall coverage on Fox and they force it into national news.
Republicans solutions are more guns, blame others for America's social ills and defect from accepting reality.
With Republicans in charge of the House of Representatives, the only thing they'll offer to every mass shooting is "thoughts and prayers", "our hearts going out to", "the good guy with a gun", and their most common phrase "now it's not the time to politicize these tragedies."

Use the hashtag #ignorethenoise whenever you deal with folks who embrace this.
The ban of semiautomatic rifles and bump stock assortments has always been a a problem.
Law enforcement really get tired of this.
Republicans refuse to support the ban of these type of weapons.
So here we are... another deadly mass shooting in the United States. A mass shooting in East Lansing, Michigan on the campus of Michigan State University.
The terrorist was a Black man who was 43 year old. The feds are trying to figure out whether the terrorist was a student or a worker. They have not determined a motive of the terrorist.
President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-MI), Sen. Gary Peters (D-MI) and Michigan's U.S. Representatives were notified about it.
The lawmaker who represents East Lansing is Rep. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) and she is pissed that Americans are becoming numb to this relentless gun violence.
For the extreme right, whew! It was not a white man. It was a Black man. Let's blame Black Lives Matter, Ben Crump, Al Sharpton, Kamala Harris, Barack Obama and Black entertainers for the act.
The older brother of the suspected gunman in the Michigan State shootings said he doesn’t “have a clue” what prompted the terrorist’s shooting spree on campus Monday night.
“This just don’t seem real, that he would be able to do anything like this,” Michael McRae, 45, told the Detroit Free Press the morning after the violence. “I am still trying to process this whole thing.”
Police are left without answers as well, saying they don't know why the terrorist allegedly walked into two campus buildings and opened fire. He had no known current or past ties to the university, authorities said. After police made contact with him, he died of a self-inflicted gunshot.
His brother “stayed to himself” and they had grown apart over the years, the older brother said.
Michael McRae lives in the state of Delaware. The brothers grew up in New Jersey. But the terrorist and parents moved to Lansing about 20 years ago after his father transferred from General Motors in New Jersey.
The terrorist pleaded guilty in 2019 to a misdemeanor weapons charge in Lansing, according to court and Michigan Department of Corrections records. Chris Gautz, a spokesman for the Michigan Department of Corrections, said he successfully completed about 19 months of probation; MDOC successfully discharged him In May 2021.
Last time the brothers spoke was their mom’s funeral two years ago in Lansing and the conversation “wasn’t good.”
The terrorist had no children, no spouse and no friends his brother knew of. He worked at warehouse jobs in Lansing.
“He stayed to himself,” Michael McRae said. “He kind of secluded himself.
“Definitely a loner.”
Michael McRae learned what happened from their father earlier on Tuesday.
While the brothers' relationship was rocky, he would "never in a million years" have imagined something like what happened Monday night.
“I am deeply sorry for this whole thing,” said Michael McRae, who plans to travel to Lansing to be with his father.
Every community in the United States will eventually have a legacy. A legacy of tragedy. Gun violence, monkeypox 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. This good guy with a gun nonsense has to end. The cops didn't do nothing when children were shot inside a school. A security guard was shot dead trying to protect shoppers. A cop accidentally shot his own. The good guy who tried to stop a bad guy is outgunned and a part of the rule #3.
Remember #3 means: The "good guy with a gun" better be prepared to die if they want to stop a shooter.
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. We lost over 1 million people from the coronavirus.
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. I am also tired of scapegoating Black on Black crime, Chicago, Baltimore and Democratic mayors for the nation's obsession to be numb to gun violence. You pretty much enable this nonsense by deflecting.
This is America.
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.
Call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (Lifeline) at 1-800-273-TALK (8255) or 988, or text the Crisis Text Line (text HELLO to 741741).

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," "hearts going to" and "good guys with guns" are no longer acceptable and you want legislation to curb gun violence.
GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE PROBLEM IN THE UNITED STATES.
