This Is America: Mass Shootings Everywhere!

A mass shooting in Michigan at a Church of Latter-day Saints in Grand Blanc near Flint. The suspect may have set the building on fire.

The real issue is gun violence. Not comedians. Not activists. Not Black men. Not immigrants. Not Muslims. Not transgender Americans. Not the left.

A man made crisis that can be solved if these incompetent politicians and media agitators stop making excuses. Instead offering words, how about policies?

The United States is the most violent country in the world. Israel and Russia follow behind respectfully. Israel, Russia and the United States are the most hated countries in the world. 

The United States is downsizing in democracy and freedom.

What is wrong with white men and white boys?

Does Charlie Kirk want to explain this?

Uh, nevermind.

It's the guns stupid!

Things to keep in mind when the blame game comes, will the suspect be:

• White
• Black
• Muslim
• Immigrant
• Arab
• A member of the LGBTQ community 
• A disgruntled employee 
• A former student
• A current student
• A so called leftist 
• A person who has conservative views
• A person with easy access to firearm

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.

There were 380 mass shootings. In bold means more than one. We had more mass shootings than a calendar year. Mind you 365 days for three years and 366 days only one year.

Police officers killed so far: 65 killed.

School shootings so far: 105 school shootings.

Only in America, how many more mass shootings must we deal with before we finally curb gun violence?

The mass shootings have to total 100 or more dead.

An elected official will be shot and killed.

A terrorist will target a protected group.

Police officers will be killed by a gunman.

All of these above.

President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance were notified.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, North Carolina Gov. Josh Stein and Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer were notified.

Sens. Ted Cruz (R-TX), John Cornyn (R-TX), Thom Tillis (R-NC), Ted Budd (R-NC), Gary Peters (D-MI) and Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) were notified.

The U.S. House members in their districts were notified.

White shooter attacked immigrants detained at an ICE facility in Dallas. He killed two detained. He committed suicide.

Dallas, Texas

One person was killed and two people are in critical condition after a shooting at a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) field office in Dallas on Wednesday morning, according to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. 

Acting ICE director Todd Lyons identified the shooter as 29-year-old Joshua Jahn. He died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, authorities said. 

All three of the victims shot were detainees of the facility, federal authorities said. On Saturday the detainee who was killed was identified by the Dallas County Medical Examiner as 37-year-old Norlan Guzman-Fuentes. In a statement provided to CBS News Saturday, ICE said Guzman-Fuentes was from El Salvador. 

The two wounded detainees were identified by ICE as Miguel Angel Garcia-Hernandez of Mexico and Jose Andres Bordones-Molina of Venezuela. 

A Homeland Security official told CBS News that all three men had criminal histories in the U.S.  

DHS had issued a correction Wednesday afternoon after previously reporting that two people were killed and one person was in critical condition.

The facility is located along I-35E, just southwest of Dallas Love Field Airport.

Dallas police said officers responded to an assist officer call at the facility around 6:40 a.m. An initial law enforcement report indicated the gunman was positioned at an elevated location. The gunman opened fire from the rooftop of an attorney's office across the street from the ICE Detention facility, on Empress Street.

Just after 10 a.m., ICE said the scene was secured. According to ICE, the shooter opened fire on the facility, firing "indiscriminately at the building and those in the sallyport."

"Early evidence that we've seen from rounds that were found near the suspected shooter contain messages that are anti-ICE in nature," said Joe Rothrock, the special agent in charge of the FBI's Dallas field office.

FBI Director Kash Patel posted a photo and wrote, "One of the unspent shell casings recovered was engraved with the phrase 'ANTI ICE.'"

The Dallas Field Office serves as a temporary holding facility for some detainees. Between January 20 and mid-June, an average of 47 people were held there each day, spending roughly seven hours in detention, according to a CBS News analysis of ICE data compiled by the Vera Institute of Justice and the Deportation Data Project.

The Mexican Consulate in Dallas has confirmed that one of the victims who was shot is a Mexican national.    

August bomb threat at same Dallas ICE facility

Wednesday's shooting was not the first security threat at the Dallas ICE facility, according to DHS. 

Approximately one month earlier, DHS reported that a man, later identified as 36-year-old Bratton Dean Wilkinson, a U.S. citizen, approached the field office's reporting entrance and claimed to have a bomb in his backpack. 

Wilkinson allegedly showed a security officer what he described as a "detonator" strapped to his wrist, prompting a shelter-in-place order at the Dallas ICE facility, DHS said. The officer immediately contacted 911, and local law enforcement responded with a bomb squad. Wilkinson was taken into custody and later charged with making terroristic threats, DHS said.

DHS Secretary blames anti-ICE rhetoric for the Dallas shooting

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem condemned the violence and called for a national reckoning on the rhetoric surrounding ICE. Federal officials labeled the incident a targeted assault on law enforcement. 

In a strongly worded statement, Noem said:  

"Our prayers are with the families of those killed and our ICE law enforcement. This vile attack was motivated by hatred for ICE. For months, we've been warning politicians and the media to tone down their rhetoric about ICE law enforcementbefore someone was killed. This shooting must serve as a wake-up call to the far-left that their rhetoric about ICE has consequences. Comparing ICE Day-in and day-out to the Nazi Gestapo, the Secret Police, and slave patrols has consequences. The men and women of ICE are fathers and mothers, sons and daughters. They get up every morning to try and make our communities safer. Like everyone else, we just want to go home to our families at night. The violence and dehumanization of these men and women who are simply enforcing the law must stop. We are praying for the victims and their families."

Noem also ordered DHS to immediately begin increasing security at ICE facilities across the country.  

State, federal lawmakers react to shooting

Local, state and federal lawmakers reacted to the shooting, calling on violence against ICE agents to stop.

"My hearts and prayers go out to my officers and agents, [that's] my biggest concern as well as everyone in that area but this just shows the violence has been increased against ICE officers and agents," acting ICE Director Todd Lyons said in an interview with CNN. 

Lyons later told CBS News, "He could have, in his indiscriminate fire, hit people traveling to work, civilians on the ground," calling it "a very scary situation." He said ICE had already been operating under a "higher threat posture" and said they "won't be stopped by it.

Sen. Ted Cruz was in Dallas Wednesday morning. He repeatedly said that politically motivated violence needs to stop.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott expressed his support for ICE, saying the state fully supports ICE. 

"Both the Texas Dept. of Public Safety & Texas National Guard work closely with ICE. This assassination will NOT slow our arrest, detention, & deportation of illegal immigrants," he said on X. "We will work with ICE & the Dallas Police Dept. to get to the bottom of the assassin's motive. We will offer ICE additional support to assist their operations."

The far right is claiming this shooter was a leftist. In Texas, Republicans outnumber Democrats 2 to 1. They have stupid open carry laws and the shooter was likely raised in a conservative home with firearms or angst against immigrants.

Texas Department of Transportation cameras near the facility showed a heavy first responder presence with dozens of units.

"Please join me in prayer for the injured and their families from this morning's active shooter incident at the ICE facility in Dallas," Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins said on X. "Violence and terror is never the answer to anything."  

The Fort Worth Police Department also posted on X, condemning the violence.

"The violence that occurred in Dallas, TX this morning is uncalled for and moments like this are deeply disturbing as it creates more division in our community at a time when the focus needs to be on how we can come together," the post reads. "We continue to ask our community that if you see something, say something."

CBS News confirmed that a bomb threat was made to the same office on Aug. 25. A man was arrested and charged after he claimed to have a detonator. He's been detained for weeks.

Second ICE facility attack in Texas in 2025

A Fourth of July attack at a Texas immigration detention center injured a police officer, who was shot in the neck. 

Attackers dressed in black military-style clothing opened fire outside the Prairieland Detention Center in Alvarado, southwest of Dallas, federal prosecutors said. At least 11 people have been charged in connection with the attack.

Attack against CBP federal agents in McAllen, Texas

A man with an assault rifle fired dozens of rounds at federal agents as they were leaving a U.S. Border Patrol facility in McAllen on July 7. 

The man, identified as Ryan Louis Mosqueda, injured a police officer who responded to the scene before authorities shot and killed him. Police later found other weaponry, ammunition and backpacks inside his car.

"The obsessive attack on law enforcement, particularly ICE, must stop," Vice President JD Vance said on X. "I'm praying for everyone hurt in this attack and for their families."

For some reason, a mass shooter opened fire on bar patrons from a boat in North Carolina.

Southport, North Carolina

A North Carolina man is accused of opening fire from a boat into a crowd gathered at a waterfront bar in a coastal town in North Carolina, killing three and injuring several others, authorities said Sunday.

The shooting erupted about 9:30 p.m. Saturday near a popular stretch of bars and restaurants on Southport’s waterfront, a historic port town about 30 miles (48 kilometers) south of Wilmington. Investigators said the alleged assailant, identified by Southport city officials as Nigel Edge of nearby Oak Island, piloted a small boat close to shore, stopped briefly and fired into the crowd before speeding away.

Edge was arrested on three counts of first-degree murder, five counts of attempted first-degree murder and five counts of assault with a deadly weapon, according to city spokeswoman ChyAnn Ketchum.

This shooter attacked from a boat. This guy appears to be another incel who struggled to find love and decided to take revenge on the people who scorned him.

It was not immediately known whether Edge has an attorney to speak on his behalf. No attorney was listed on court documents.

Roughly half an hour after the shooting, a U.S. Coast Guard crew spotted a person matching the suspect’s description pulling a boat from the water at a public ramp on Oak Island. The person was detained and turned over to Southport police for questioning, officials said.

Authorities have not said what might have led to the attack at American Fish Company. Police scheduled a news conference for 11 a.m. Sunday.

Investigators from multiple agencies — including the State Bureau of Investigation and the Coast Guard — remained on the water and at the scene Sunday collecting evidence and interviewing witnesses.

Officials did not immediately release the names of those killed or provide information on the conditions of those who were wounded.

This is an image of the alleged shooter directly crashing into a church before opening fire on parishioners. Will the far right claim this as another leftist or claim mental illness?

Grand Blanc Township, Michigan

A mass shooting and fire rattled the community of Grand Blanc on the morning of Sunday, Sept. 28.

The Grand Blanc Township Police Department posted to Facebook shortly after 11 a.m. that there were "multiple" victims at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Grand Blanc. It also said the shooter is down and the building's on fire.

"There are multiple victims and the shooter is down" at the church, at 4285 McCandlish Road in Grand Blanc, the police department said. "There is NO threat to the public at this time. The church is actively on fire. For people on site, the reuinification site is the pavilion to the north. Offsite reunification will be at Trillium Theater on Holly and McCandlish. PLEASE AVOID THE AREA!"

Genesee County Sheriff Christopher Swanson posted a Facebook video from the scene, saying he is working in conjunction with local, state and federal authorities.

"The entire church is on fire. ... This is a dynamic scene," Swanson said. "... There's going to be more updates. Just know that there's a lot of things that are happening that we are not able to communicate just because of the work that needs to be done."

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer said in a statement on X that her office is monitoring the situation in Grand Blanc.

"My heart is breaking for the Grand Blanc community. Violence anywhere, especially in a place of worship, is unacceptable," Whitmer wrote. "I am grateful to the first responders who took action quickly. We will continue to monitor the situation and hold the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Grand Blanc close."

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."

The endgame. Republicans are the party of chaos, gun violence and pedophilia

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 always mentally ill or lone wolves. The far right believes they should receive some sympathy for their crimes. Black shooters are unrepentant thugs and criminals who deserve lengthy time in the iron college or death. Gay and transgender shooters are active groomers who want to be pedophiles on children. Muslim shooters are terrorists who should be surveiled or deported. Hispanic and Asian shooters are illegal immigrants and they should be deported. According to the far right, almost all white [or non-white] mass shooters are registered Democrats [leftist or some progressive activist] because they have liked or done one thing common to the politics of the left. Of course, they often share or post disinformation by using the ridiculous "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 assume the gunmen are Black. Even if the evidence turns out that the shooter has alignment with conservative causes or Republicans, the far right dismisses it as a hoax or a plot to demonize the MAGA movement.

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. 

Trump gave us open season.

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.

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.

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.

Y'all voted for this. Expect more of this.

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.

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 out of our cities, the Middle East and every fucking international conflict in the world. You want legislation to focus on 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, a weapons embargo, sanctions and accountability for war crimes done by Israel. You want no more domestic or foreign influence in American elections. You also want to make sure future presidents and lawmakers avoid influence from lobbyists and special interst groups.

THERE IS NO GOD!

GOD IS NOT FIXING THIS!

FUCK YOUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS!

LET ME BE CLEAR, PRAYERS DO NOT STOP FUCKING BULLETS!

THIS IS A MAN-MADE ISSUE! WHY IS IT SO HARD TO STOP A MAN-MADE ISSUE LIKE GUN VIOLENCE?

STOP SAYING YOU'RE PRAYING TO PEOPLE AFFECTED BY GUN VIOLENCE. IT IS FUCKING PLATITUDES. DO SOMETHING ABOUT FUCKING GUN VIOLENCE YOU WORTHLESS LAWMAKERS. PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP, THE CHOICE TO CONTINUE THE STATUS QUO WILL KEEP YOU AND OTHERS AT RISK OF VIOLENCE. MAKE A CHOICE TO STOP THE CHAOS AND ACT LIKE FUCKING 79 YEAR OLD MAN. DO SOMETHING TO HELP THE COUNTRY.
