Okay, school shooting and series of mass shootings targeting a group of people..
GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE PROBLEM IN THE UNITED STATES!
Things to keep in mind when the blame game comes, will the suspect be
- Black
- Muslim
- Immigrant
- Arab
- A member of the LGBTQ community
- A disgruntled employee
- A former student
- A current student
- A white man who has conservative views
- A person with easy access to firearms
The person with easy access to firearms should be the only answer. Alas, the far right is hoping for this to be a person they can scapegoat as their next de jour of outrage.

Police officers killed so far: 60 killed.
School shootings so far: 90 school shootings.
Only in America, how many more mass shootings must we deal with before we finally curb gun violence?
President Donald J. Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Gov. Tim Walz, Sen. Amy Klobachur (D-MN), Sen. Tina Smith (D-MN), the U.S. House members of Minnesota, Minneapolis mayor Jacob Frey, Pope Leo XIV, Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel were notified.
Just so you know, members of the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party are associated the the U.S. Democratic Party. Any member who is DFL is referred as Democrat.
A shooting at the Annunciation Catholic School in south Minneapolis triggered a massive law enforcement response Wednesday morning. The shooter is contained, according to police. At least 14 people were shot. Two were confirmed dead. The shooter is dead from a self inflicted gunshot.
A large number of first responders are at the scene on 54rd Avenue between Harriet and Garfield avenues. Annunciation Catholic School is attached to a church. According to a school schedule, there was an all-school mass at 8:15 a.m.

Minneapolis police said there is no active threat to the public. Authorities added that the public is advised to stay away from the area of West 54th Street between Lyndale and Nicollet avenues. Families of children at the school can go to a reunification area at Annunciation School on 525 West 54th Street.
Several agencies, including the FBI, state patrol and Minneapolis police are at the scene. Authorities have not said how many victims there are.
Walz said he had been briefed on the shooting.
"I'm praying for our kids and teachers whose first week of school was marred by this horrific act of violence," Walz said.
Tuesday was a mass shooting in Minneapolis.
Police are searching for a suspect who shot and killed one person and injured six others at a south Minneapolis intersection in broad daylight Tuesday.
Minneapolis police say the shooting happened shortly before 1:30 p.m. at Clinton Avenue and East 29th Street, just east of Interstate 35. The suspected shooter fired approximately 30 rounds from a high velocity 223 rifle, according to Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara.
"This level of firepower unleashed in broad daylight is completely sickening and unacceptable," O'Hara said.
A man who lives in the area says he and his family took shelter after hearing the gunshots.
"We went down to the basement," said Eustacio Alatorre. "My wife is scared."
When police arrived at the scene, they found a man who was shot dead. The others who were shot — five men and one woman — were found nearby the area.
Three of the victims have critical injuries, O'Hara said, adding that all of them are expected to survive. He added that at least one of the victims was targeted in the shooting.
A woman whose son works near the shooting says she was concerned moments after hearing about the shooting, but appreciates the efforts of the police.
"I think the solution is exactly what MPD is doing," said Loretta Arradondo. "Being present. Being vigilant. Listening to the community."

Police have yet to make any arrests. The shooter fled the scene in the vehicle, O'Hara said, and investigators are pursuing "strong leads."
Hours after the mass shooting, two more people were killed in separate shootings in the city. The first occurred around 8 p.m., less than a mile from the site of the mass shooting. The second happened in downtown around 2:10 a.m.
WHITE PRIVILEGE IS REAL! IT'S "SUIT AND TIE" WHITE SUPREMACY ON TELEVISION, RADIO, THE INTERNET AND AMERICAN POLICY!
FOR EVERY BAD COP, THERE WILL BE A DEAD COP!
IF THE UNITED STATES CONTINUES TO AID ISRAEL, THE WORLD WILL BOYCOTT THE U.S. AND ABANDON THE DOLLAR!
I DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING ON THE INTERNET OR THE COP'S VERSION.
THERE IS NO GOD!
GOD IS NOT FIXING THIS!
FUCK YOUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS!
Trump gave us open season.
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 right: White shooters are mentally ill. Black shooters are unrepentant thugs and criminals. Gay shooters are active groomers. Muslim shooters are terrorists. Hispanic and Asian shooters are illegal immigrants. According to the far right, almost all white [or non-white] mass shooters are registered Democrats [or some progressive activist] because they have liked or done one thing common to the left. Of course, they often share or post disinformation by using the "Sam Hyde" meme or make bogus social media platforms with the shooter's image as a way to denounce most mass shooters being white or associated with conservative causes. The far right says a white person should "protect" themselves from thugs, terrorists or protesters. They believe the use of firearms are "justified" if they are protesting or even instigating a conflict. The far right believes if a shooter is a police officer, an active military member, a veteran or a citizen who supports conservative causes, they are considered a "heroes" and use of firearms are justified. If the shooters are teens in urban communities, the far right automatically assumes 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 legislators 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.

Holding these lawmakers accountable is not just a pledge, but a promise. You need to learn who represents your community. Your local community member, your school board member, your mayor, your state representative, your state senator, your governor, your U.S. Representative, your U.S. Senator and the president need to be held accountable for their actions.
We need to put pressure on Republicans and Democrats to do something to improve everyone's lives.
Keep pressure on them with Israel.
Israel must be held accountable for war crimes and the U.S. must end its aid.
Our taxpayer money should not help Israel any further.
Republicans have extremely unpopular ideas. They will find out the risk of supporters being turned off by their policies.
Biden, Harris and the Democratic Party failed at understanding what is more important to the country. Trump, Vance and the Republican Party have already failed at understanding.
Both parties support of Israel had made some Arab Americans, Muslim and young voters vote against them. They have cost Biden a second term and Harris a historical victory.
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 and school shootings as well.
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). Both services are free and available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The deaf and hard of hearing can contact the Lifeline via TTY at 1-800-799-4889. All calls are confidential. Contact social media outlets directly if you are concerned about a friend's social media updates or dial 911 in an emergency. Learn more on the Lifeline's website or the Crisis Text Line's website.
The call center to the White House and Congress should still be the same.
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 deporting law abiding immigrants seeking refuge is inhumane. You want our American military out of the Middle East and every fucking international conflict in the world. You want legislation to focus on ending gun violence, lowering the cost of rent, lowering the cost of food, lowering the cost of hospital visits, improving healthcare and building relationships with other nations. Let them know that pulling out of the UN Human Rights Organization, World Health Organization and Paris Climate Accords will put the U.S. in danger when catastrophic event happen. 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 and Ukraine. You are tired of hearing about "Israel having a right to..." and the bogus claims of being anti-semitic or in support of terrorism.
We have bigger issues at home and our tax dollars should solve the housing crisis, lowering food prices, fixing roads, bridges, helping reinvest in struggling urban and rural communities. We have hospitals closing, big box retailers leaving communities and television programs dying. There are bigger issues in the country than 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.
