Teen Shoots A Bus Rider Dead Over A Leg Blocking The Path!

A teen shoots a man dead on a Denver bus.

This is a perfect example of why Congress failed America!

The Republicans seriously believe the Second Amendment is more important than the lives of the Americans who value safety, tranquility and shelter.

Gun violence is the number one threat in the United States.

A 13-year-old boy allegedly shot and killed a 60-year-old man on a bus because the man’s leg was blocking the aisle, Denver police said.

The boy was arrested Thursday afternoon on suspicion of first-degree murder, the Denver Police Department said in a news release Friday.

Officers responded to a shooting on a Transdev bus near the intersection of South Federal Boulevard and West Mississippi Avenue at 6:41 p.m. Saturday and found a man, later identified as Richard Sanchez, with a gunshot wound.

Transdev is a contractor for the Regional Transportation District.

Sanchez was taken to a local hospital and pronounced dead. The Denver Office of the Medical Examiner determined Sanchez’s death was a homicide as a result of multiple gunshot wounds.

Investigators believe the boy had a “verbal exchange” with Sanchez about Sanchez’s leg blocking the aisle of the bus, after which the boy shot him, according to Denver police.

A second man injured in the shooting was treated at the scene and did not need to be taken to a hospital, the department said in a news release.

A man loses his life to an unrepentant teen.

The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

These murderers don't have mental illness. They are calculated and prepared. It happened to be a moment where they have the opportunity to take out lives. There's no sickness in the head. Most mass shooters legally obtain their assault rifles without little background checks. They have likely no criminal history and they are willing to use the assault weapon in the only thing it's good for: Killing numerous lives.

I dismiss this ridiculous notion that criminals are the problem, not the guns. Firearms are often obtained through legal purchases. 

Again, having more security, teachers being armed and offering safe rooms are not solving the problem. The problem is lawmakers not willing to stop gun violence.

According to the far rightWhite shooters are mentally ill. Black shooters are unrepentant criminals. Gay shooters are active groomers. Muslim shooters are terrorists. Hispanic and Asian shooters are illegal immigrants. Almost all mass shooters are registered Democrats because they have liked one thing common to the left. Of course, they often share disinformation by using the "Sam Hyde" meme as a way to denounce most mass shooters being white. They say a white person should "protect" from protesters and use of firearms are justified. They say if a shooter is active military or a veteran who supports conservative causes, they are considered a "heroes" and use of firearms are justified. If the shooters are teens, the far right automatically assume the gunmen are Black.

The Republicans usually amplify white victims. Anytime a person of color kills a white victim, it is often wall-to-wall coverage on Fox, Twitter and they force it into national news. They make the case to blame Black Lives Matter, Barack Obama, Kamala Harris, Democrats, Rev. Al Sharpton and rap music for Black on whatever violence. Republican lawmakers who do not live in urban neighborhoods often troll social media to talk about gun violence or crime in Chicago, Baltimore, Milwaukee and New York City while not doing a damn thing to stop it. If a white person shoots a Black person, the shooter is given the benefit of doubt. White shooters are given glowing profiles about their perfect lives and how friends noticed something but refused to do something. When it comes to Black shooters, automatic vilification. They don't see mental illness. They see it as gang violence, allegedly fatherless homes, Democratic policies or the need for more firearms. The far right and Republicans exploit gun violence in the Black community for culture wars and racism.

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 White House and U.S. Capitol are now going to be used. This is the official White House numbers 202-456-1111 and 202-456-1414. This is the Congress official phone number, 202-224-3121. Please be respectful to operators, staff members and elected leaders.

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. Let them know that you are tired of your taxpayer money going to foreign nations like Israel. You want an immediate ceasefire and accountability for war crimes done by Israel. You want no more foreign influence in American elections. You also want to make sure future presidents and lawmakers avoid influence from lobbyists. Let them know your vote matters and doing nothing will not be acceptable.
