| The boarded up home of a mass shooter who told his victims to go back to their country. |
We had over 300 mass shootings in 2024.
Biden's debate performance has Democrats concerned but Project 2025 and Greater Israel should have progressives terrified.
Booth shot up four kids, between the ages of 3 and 10, at a house across the street from his residence Friday afternoon. Additionally, three adults between the ages of 22 and 43 suffered gunshot wounds as Booth unleashed a hail of gunfire on his unsuspecting neighbors.
The debate is the only thing that got CNN'S ratings up. Since the debate, ratings are back to normal. Those who ain't voting for Biden are still the same. Those who ain't voting for Trump are still the same. Biden is old. Trump is old. Both are having senile moments.
But at least one is saying that he will not abuse his power if he is reelected.
Now with presidential immunity, the current one and future ones could legally kill Americans and break the law without any consequences.

There were 617 people killed in police shootings in the United States.
Since the Fordyce, Arkansas mass shooting only two weeks ago, more mass shootings in a Republican states with lackluster gun laws. The shooter was motivated by hate and MAGA.
President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, Gov. Jim Pillen, Sen. Deb Fischer (R-NE), Sen. Pete Ricketts (R-NE) and Nebraska U.S. Representatives were notified about the mass shooting in Crete, Nebraska, a small town 35 miles from Lincoln.
Obviously, telling someone to "go back to their country" is a racist dog whistle to people of color.
The shooter committed suicide.
The shooter told his Hispanic neighbors to "go back to their country" before shooting seven of them – including four children – in a racially motivated shooting, died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, said police.
Investigators identified the shooter as Billy Booth, 74, of Crete, Nebraska, according to the Nebraska State Patrol.

Booth shot up four kids, between the ages of 3 and 10, at a house across the street from his residence Friday afternoon. Additionally, three adults between the ages of 22 and 43 suffered gunshot wounds as Booth unleashed a hail of gunfire on his unsuspecting neighbors.
The victims - who have not been publicly identified - all suffered non-life-threatening injuries, said police.
"I guess it was just a racist thing that happened," family friend of the victims, Joshua Morales, said, according to KETV-TV. "So, I guess the dude that shot them was just racist cause he shot a Hispanic family and he told a Hispanic family to go back to their country."
At least 15 people were home at the time of the incident.
"Investigators are still actively working this investigation to understand everything that occurred, but at this point, we don't believe there was any verbal contact between the suspect and any of the victims in the moments that led up to the shooting," Nebraska State Patrol Col. John Bolduc said over the weekend, according to NBC News.
Crete Police Chief Gary Young, Jr., said officers previously responded to a "single report from the victims that the suspect had flipped them off, told them to 'go home' or 'back to where they came from,' and to 'speak English,'" the outlet reported.
The suspect, Billy Booth, 74, was later found dead inside his house across the street from what authorities said was a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
"It appears that all the victims of the shooting will survive," Caradori said during a news conference Friday.
Colonel John A. Bolduc of Nebraska State Patrol confirmed on Saturday during a press conference that "multiple rounds were fired" by Booth from inside his house. They do not know the exact number of shots fired.
To all the Black firearm owners who support the Second Amendment or former president Donald J. Trump in the 2024 presidential race, I just want to say...
"YOU'RE GONNA BE SHOT BY POLICE TOO!"
The National Rifle Association never reacts to lawful exercise of firearm use when a Black, Hispanic, Arab, Muslim, Indigenous, LGBTQ or underage teen of color is carrying them.
It is automatic dehumanizing from the far right, police unions and the junk food media.
When white men, women or even some Asians are carrying firearms, the NRA is often parading them around like they're heroes and protectors of freedom.
In about 45 states, I believe it is lawful for you to walk down a street with a firearm.
If you're a Black man walking down the street with a firearm, the random 911 call or the visual spotting from a police officer merits an automatic drawl of a service weapon.

| Crete rarely has gun violence. |
Police officers within seconds are either shooting or premeditated an excuse to use force.
The unions back up their claims of "fearing for their lives" despite the perpetrator not even firing a round. Given that the junk food media loves to paint the aggressor as the victim, the police officer is given the benefit of doubt. The person police shot usually do not get any ounce of doubt. A mugshot of a suspect or a picture of a person posing with money or firearms automatically draws far right conclusions to justification of force.
Even fleeing from police with a firearm and not even pointing at them results in police shootings.
If a person does survive, the state still charges the person for a crime despite the state allowing open carry and lawful possession.
So I just want to say that the Second Amendment is White, period.
A bullet does not care about color. We all bleed red and so many lives are lost to gun violence and Republicans offer no solutions other than "thoughts and prayers" with a touch of "lock em up."
Gun violence is the number one threat in the United States.
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 right: White 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.

| America has a problem. Gun violence, racism and a cult of personality are the dangers. |
So in closing, expect more.
The website Officer Down is a memorial to those police officers who were killed in the line of duty. Those victims who don't get their names or accomplishments 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. We are tracking police violence as well.

The call number to the White House and U.S. Capitol is 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. Your calls are monitored by the U.S. Secret Service and U.S. Capitol Police.
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 we are tired of police officers using immunity when committing death of suspects in custody. Let them know that you are tired of private equity firms getting away with destroying small businesses and long established companies. Let them know that you are tired of your taxpayer money going to foreign nations like Israel. Let them know you are very tired of your lawmakers embarrassing themselves in the media. You are tired of your lawmakers always being outside their district or state. You elected them to serve their districts and state not travel across the country or to foreign countries on your taxpayer dollars. You are tired of hearing about "Israel having a right to..." and the bogus claims of being anti-semitic or in support of terrorism. 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.
