The National Rifle Association's best advice to stopping a mass shooter is with another potential mass shooter.
Ohio, folks.
First graders found a firearm on the counter of a school office building.
The firearm was brought in by a staff member who was authorized to carry the firearm on campus as apart of the state's law for conceal carry to protect students.
Highland Local Schools in Morrow County had to ice the idiot who left the firearm in open reach.
The woman who was given freeze time without pay. This happened in March and just reached the junk food media around the time of children going back to school.
The woman, Vicky Nelson was also stripped of her privilege after this. She was trained and granted permission to bring her firearm on the school campus.
The idiot left her pistol inside an unlocked plastic case on her desk. Her grandson and another child were touching and playing with the firearm. The administrator who saw the children immediately grabbed the firearm. The school staffer confronted the idiot who was in the restroom that the children got a hold of the firearm.
The superintendent of the school was not happy.
Dan Freund said that the idiot was apologetic for the incident and literally crying. He had to ice her for that. Freund didn't call the law as required. So that got the County boys angry.
Highland School District in Morrow County, Ohio under fire for not alerting parents to a potential threat.
Sheriff John L. Hinton of Morrow County was pissed. He said that school officials make his job even harder. He said that the failure to report this could result in criminal charges.
Areas where they allow conceal carry among school officials are rising in Ohio. They believe that if they can have a handgun carrying official on campus, they can stop a mass shooter who can fire off rounds within seconds. That "good guy with a gun" could drop within seconds of trying to reach.
This is why it's important for Americans to pass gun reform. We need to keep these semi-automatic firearms out of the hands of potential terrorists. These idiots in Columbus and Washington, DC believe that a handgun can stop an AR-15 and AK-47.
If you're willing to sacrifice your life, go ahead, be the "good guy with a gun."
Think if this was a Black man who worked at the school and was licensed to carry. I bet you money, they would have fired him out the cannon or he would have been arrested. Matter of fact, if he was trying to stop the threat, some idiot cop would mistaken him as the threat and kill him.
Cops don't see "good guys with guns." They see "active shooters" and "armed gunman."
So don't believe the National Rifle Association's bullshit. They are profiting off the ignorance of Americans. The bullet doesn't care about your race, gender, sexuality, nationality, education, politics, social standings and beliefs. It only hits a target.
See EJ Bradford for more commentary. The Good Guy With A Gun theme is bogus.
GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES. THERE IS NO GOD. GOD IS NOT FIXING THIS.
This state is likely to go to Donald J. Trump in 2020 due to it's white majority population, Republican controlled government and its divided structure of white people. Working class whites and poor-rural whites so far approve of Trump's handling of the economy while people of color strongly disapprove.
No Republican can win the presidency without carrying Ohio or Florida. Trump carried the states and won the presidency. Democrats are going to write-off Ohio because it's leaning more towards Republicans and it's nearly impossible for a Democrat to win this state given how the state's gerrymandered districts played a vital role in keeping Republicans in the majority.
Dayton, Ohio for the first time in over 30 years went to a Republican. Trump carried the city and Montgomery County in 2016. The city so far lost a hospital, had a federal corruption probe into city hall, the Klan rally and a devastating tornado. Oh by the way, Dayton had a mass shooting this month.
Trump came to Dayton to do a photo-op with medical officials and police officers. He also met a few shooting victims and then headed off to El Paso for a second round of photo-ops.
Petition to change Fifth Avenue to Barack Obama Avenue in front of Trump Tower is picking up steam.
There's a petition to rename Fifth Avenue between 56th and 57th Street to "President Barack H. Obama Avenue."
The petition gain over 400,000 signatures. That specific part of the street is exactly where the Trump Tower is located. That is the official residence of Donald J. Trump, Obama's successor.
Elizabeth Rowin started this last year and since it's launch she managed to overachieve the goal of getting people to spread the word.
Rowin wanted to get attention of New York City's mayor and presidential contender Bill de Blasio.
"We request the New York City Mayor and City Council do the same by renaming a block of Fifth Avenue after the former president whose many accomplishments include: saving our nation from the Great Recession; serving two completely scandal-free terms in office; and taking out Osama bin Laden, the mastermind behind September 11th (2001) which killed over 3,000 New Yorkers."
If this was approved, it would change Trump Tower's official residence from 725 Fifth Avenue to 725 President Barack H. Obama Avenue, New York, NY 10022.
Trump Tower is a mixed-used skyscraper that contains offices, shops, eateries, condos and public atrium. Former campaign manager Paul Manafort used to live in Trump Tower.
That is the official residence of Trump, wife Melania, son Barron and offices of Donald, Jr., Ivanka and Eric. The other daughter Tiffany doesn't live in New York City.
Many are experiencing in what Anthony Scaramucci called Trump Fatigue Syndrome.
The former White House Communication Director who had a mere 11 days in office called his old boss the "ultimate backstabber." He said that "this jackass" is crazy and fracturing our country.
There are roads and buildings named after former presidents.
Trump constantly attacks Obama and the far-white loves it. Far-white agitators demonized Obama during his two terms with claims that he often attacked George W. Bush.
George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson are named as cities.
Washington is the national capital of the United States while Lincoln is a state capital in Nebraska, Jefferson City is a state capital in Missouri and Jackson is a state capital in Mississippi.
Perfect example is Ronald Reagan.
The old racist is named on a Cincinnati freeway, numerous roads and highways, schools, university buildings an international airport and has a presidential library.
George H.W. Bush has an international airport named after him in Houston, a national forest and a presidential library.
Bill Clinton is named on an international airport with Hillary, has a presidential library and a road in his hometown of Hope, Arkansas.
George W. Bush has his name on public schools.
Obama has his name on roads, schools, public buildings and even a classified insect.
Trump already has name recognition on properties. However, he will have roads, highways, public places and schools named after him. He even has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Most of the stuff is now targets of vandalism.
The iconic legend Peter Henry Fonda was best known for playing Wyatt in 1969's Easy Rider.
Peter Fonda, the son of Henry Fonda and the younger brother of Jane Fonda has passed away.
He was 79 years old.
Peter's family confirmed the news. He passed away of respiratory failure due to lung cancer.
"In one of the saddest moments in our lives, we are not able to find the appropriate words to express the pain in our hearts," Fonda's family said.
He won several Golden Globe Awards, including best actor for "Ulee's Gold," and was noted by the same film reviewer group for his work in "The Wild Angels," "The Trip," and "Easy Rider."
He appeared in numerous movies and television shows.
Fonda was Henry Fonda's only son.
According to KCRA, Fonda carved his own path with his nonconformist tendencies and earned Oscar nominations for co-writing "Easy Rider" and his acting role in "Ulee's Gold."
Fonda was born in New York City in 1940 and was only 10 years old when his mother Frances Ford Seymour died. Fonda had an estranged relationship with his father, but said that they grew closer over the years before his father died in 1982.
Fonda was an active supporter of the Democratic Party. He criticized Republicans and that imbecile, Donald J. Trump.
Fonda went on Twitter to criticize Trump's administration's enforcement of U.S. immigration policy by Jeff Sessions, specifically regarding the separation of children from their parents at the Mexican border, writing that "We should rip Barron Trump from the arms of First Lady Melania Trump and put him in a cage with pedophiles."
He also suggested that Americans should seek out names of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in order to protest outside of their homes and the schools of their children.
The Secret Service opened an investigation based on a report from the Trump family.
Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, whose daughter, White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, was also the object of Fonda's tweets, believes that Fonda's statement about Barron Trump is a violation of federal criminal law.
Jane Fonda said her brother died laughing. She issued a statement on the passing of her brother.
Fonda had also suggested "Maybe we should take her (Sanders) children away..."
It was also reported by Politico that Fonda "has been railing against the White House for days". In another now-deleted tweet, Fonda targeted United States Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen by calling her an uncouth name and calling for Nielsen to be "put her in a cage and poked at by passersby ..."
Fonda stated that he deleted his tweet regarding Barron Trump, saying that he "immediately regretted it and sincerely apologize to the family for what I said and any hurt my words have caused."
Popular backlash to Fonda's tweets resulted in a call for a boycott of his newest film at the time, Boundaries and other Sony projects
Sony Pictures released Boundaries as planned on June 22, 2018, but completely condemned the comments made by Fonda.
Down but not out. John Hickenlooper decided to end his presidential bid. He might open up a senate bid.
On Thursday, former Colorado governor John Hickenlooper decided to drop out of the race. Now it leaves the door open for him to take a seat the Republicans are desperately trying to defend.
The former governor is thinking about taking on Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO).
The seat for Colorado is LEAN REPUBLICAN.
His former competitor and fellow Coloradan, Sen. Michael Bennet (D-CO) is welcoming the idea of Hickenlooper deciding to run in a relatively competitive seat.
Gardner is distancing himself from Donald J. Trump and focusing his campaign on Colorado constituents in order to win reelection.
Hickenlooper dropping out this massive field of Democratic candidates from president makes the field appear to be weak. Many of them will be forced to drop their bids if they can't qualify for the third debate in late August.
Hickenlooper was being courted by Democrats as a potential senate candidate.
In a video statement announcing his departure from the presidential race, Hickenlooper said he has "heard from so many Coloradans" who want him to run for Senate. "They remind me how much is at stake ofr our country and our state. I intend to give that some serious thought," he said.
Hickenlooper was also a former mayor of Denver served two terms at the state's governor. He previously was skeptical about the senate race given that Democrats are disorganized but he decided that he may be "cut out to be a senator."
Last month, there were hints of Hickenlooper have trouble in this presidnetial campaign.
The source said that his campaign only has about 13,000 donors, making it almost impossible to qualify for the next round of presidential debates. The campaign also only raised just $1 million in the second quarter and that meant he would have ran out of money.
Five staffers have left the campaign. Hickenlooper's struggling operation, including his campaign manager, communication director, digital director and finance director bounced.
Hickenlooper's new campaign manager is considering helping him on the senate bid.
Now many Democrats are calling for Beto O'Rourke, Julian Castro, Steve Bullock and Tim Ryan to drop out and throw their chances at the senate.
So far none of the candidates took the offer.
Just in case you've haven't heard, former Alaskan senator Mike Gravel dropped out too. He is a perennial candidate who supports progressive and sometimes libertarian policies. He ended his bid a week earlier and threw endorsement to two presidential contenders. Gravel threw his support to Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI).
Hickenlooper hasn't endorsed a candidate as of yet.
Colorado Springs man shot by the law sparks outrage for the fact they shot him fleeing.
Every time we do a "What Happened To" story, it usually deals with a tragedy.
BE WARNED THERE WILL BE GRAPHIC FOOTAGE AND IMAGES.
Thoughts and prayers, thoughts and prayers. Thoughts and prayers won't heal the wounded or bring back the dead. It's just meaningless platitudes and I am getting sick and tired of folks posting on social media saying they have their condolences for those killed by gun violence.
Why we keep doing this?
Gun rights are basically white supremacy. Because every time a person of color is killed by firearms, you see the far-right troll online justifying their deaths.
He ran from the police.
He shot at the police.
He failed to comply.
He had a criminal history.
It's the fault of Barack Obama, Colin Kaepernick, Al Sharpton and Black Lives Matter.
If they would have fathers in their lives.
Back the blue.
He shouldn't had that on him in the first place.
There is growing backlash in the city of Colorado Springs, Colorado. The law killed a 19-year old man after he fled them during a questioning. His family is demanding that the cops who shot him are held accountable for their actions.
De'Von Bailey was 19 years old at the time of his death. He was shot four times in the back after fleeing cops trying to question him and his friend in suspicion of a robbery.
On camera the officers confront Bailey and his cousin.
In the body camera footage as well as the home camera footage, you see that Bailey and his cousin Lawrence Stoker being questioned by the law. As one cop approaches Bailey, he takes off running.
As they gave chase, the cops claimed that he reached for something and they shot him directly three times in the back. He was shot once in the arm. While it's not clear what was done, the cop continuously said to him to show hands.
He landed on the ground and surrendered. The cops then handcuffed the bleeding De'Von and searched his clothes and found a gun inside his pants. Then they called for backup.
They would try to revive a moaning Bailey. By the time he made it to the hospital, he had already died.
It remains unclear on Thursday if the object was a firearm.
Police said they were on the scene to respond to a robbery threat around 6:45pm. In the bodycam footage, one officer can be heard asking Bailey if he goes by the name of "Spazz."
Bailey said, "No sir."
The bullets that hit Bailey perforated his heart, left lung and diaphragm, in addition to penetrating is spleen, triggering massive blood loss leading to his death, said the El Paso County bag 'em ups.
The family attorney is calling this a senseless murder.
"The video shows that there was no evidence to support that anybody was imminently at risk of being killed or harmed," said Darold Killmer. "The video shows that he was doing everything in his power in the six or eight or 10 steps that he could take to get away to, in fact, get away.... He did not have a weapon in his hand and had not shown any weapon when he was shot in the back."
Today is De'Von Bailey's funeral.
WHEN COPS SEE A BLACK MAN WITH A FIREARM REGARDLESS OF IT BEING LEGAL OR ILLEGAL, THEY AUTOMATICALLY SHOOT THE BLACK MAN. EVEN AN UNARMED BLACK MAN JUST REACHING FOR A WALLET OR A DOOR HANDLE COULD BE KILLED BY THE COPS. THE POLICE AND JUNK FOOD MEDIA TRY TO MAKE THE VICTIM, "THE BAD GUY" BY BRINGING UP HIS PAST HISTORY, HIS SOCIAL MEDIA OR HIS FAMILY LIFE. MANY WHITES (IN LARGE GROUPS) HAVE FIREARMS IN FRONT OF POLICE AND THEY NEVER GET SHOT OR KILLED. WHY AREN'T THEY AFRAID OF THEM? WHENEVER SOMEONE COMPLAINS ABOUT LACK OF BLACK FATHERS, I CONTINUE TO DENOUNCE THIS BULLSHIT. I REMIND THEM THAT THE POLICE KILL BLACK FATHERS. THE POLICE LEAVE CHILDREN OF COLOR WITHOUT A BLACK FATHER. AND NO AMOUNT OF MONEY COULD BRING THE PEACE AND TRANQUILITY TO THE FAMILIES OF THOSE KILLED BY THE COPS. FOR EVERY BAD COP, THERE WILL BE A DEAD COP! I DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING ON THE INTERNET OR THE COP'S VERSION. GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES. THERE IS NO GOD! GOD IS NOT FIXING THIS! DONALD J. TRUMP, REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS ARE INEPT. THEY ARE NUMB TO GUN VIOLENCE. THEY CONTINUE TO ALLOW FIREARMS IN THE HANDS OF TERRORISTS AND BAD COPS. EXPECT MORE COPS SHOOTING UNARMED OR LEGALLY ARMED PEOPLE OF COLOR. EXPECT COPS TO WALK WHEN THEY CLAIM THEY USED DEADLY FORCE BECAUSE THEY FEARED FOR THEIR LIVES. EXPECT MORE MASS SHOOTINGS. EXPECT GOOD COPS TO BE KILLED BY TERRORISTS. POLICE DEPARTMENTS CONTINUE TO ALLOW BAD COPS AND CORRUPT POLICE UNIONS TO REIGN STATE SPONSORED TERRORISM UPON PEOPLE OF COLOR. POLICE KILLING PEOPLE OF COLOR IS STATE SPONSORED TERRORISM. BEING A COP IS A THANKLESS JOB. THEY CONTINUE TO SERVE AND PROTECT IN AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS JOB. THOSE CHARGED ARE INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY IN A COURT OF LAW. WE DON'T CONDONE VIOLENCE AGAINST LAW ENFORCEMENT OR ANY HUMAN BEING.
Now here I want to address how the far-white has depicted the shooting.
It burns me up to see how these trolls on the far-white react to these senseless gun tragedies.
These trolls are ignorant. They can be ignorant all they want. This is America.
This country is more polarized, less religious, less educated, less motivated, highly overweight, and bloodthirsty. We hide behind platitudes and run on narratives about who's more right than factual.
We are driven to discourse by the junk food media and social media. I cannot stop it. I am not in the business to stop it. However, I do have control over how I read things on this blog. I have semi-control over what is posted on this blog. I am not planning on changing my views on Trump no time soon.
I really believe Trump and his allies are destined for failure. With that failure, comes the aftermath. We all fail if Trump continues to reign his bigotry and Republican keep control of the U.S. Congress.
Americans could reelect Trump. After all, Republicans are ramming through laws that make it harder to vote. They are passing weak gun laws that make it possible for individuals to possess firearms to kill people of color and law enforcement. The Republicans are trying to pass laws that restrict women from have termination. But once they have a child, the Republicans want to strip the safety net so no single mother can get food and housing for their family.
Gun violence is problem. We keep hearing these idiots often tell us "we're not going to like" their remarks on gun violence. Fuck this shit. I don't need to read your bullshit. I don't care about the bullshit you write.
We will not waste our time worrying about you or those who think like you.
We all have lives outside the blog. Why don't you move past our blog and find a blog that supports your views?

Steve King got an orange tan like Trump. The white nationalist lawmaker is facing heat yet again.
The Republican Party is the party of white nationalism.
However, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) are the real issue in the United States. The two lawmakers were banned from entry into Israel because of Donald J. Trump and his friendship with Benjamin Netanyahu.
The controversy has reached a point where more Democrats are calling for an impeachment hearing and I am certainly devoted to seeing this "son of a bitch" impeached.
Now back to the issue at hand. The Republican Party's resident bigot is now causing more problems for the leadership.
Will Israel ban him too?
Steven Arnold King is an American politician and former businessman. He is an avowed white nationalist who is currently the Republican congressman from the 4th Congressional District in Iowa.
King represents Sioux City, Ames, Fort Dodge, Carroll and Kiron.
He is a very controversial member of the House of Representatives. He is anti-immigrant, anti-LGBTQ, anti-Muslim and typical concern troll when it comes to "whitesplaining."
Now he's the expert on rape and incest. He spoke to a group of conservative activists in suburban Des Moines and guess what happened? He went there.
King told the Westside Conservative Club on Wednesday that humanity might not exist if not for rape and incest.
"What if we went back through all the family trees and just pulled those people out that were products of rape and incest? Would there be any population of the world left if we did that?" he said at the event in Urbandale, Iowa.
"Considering all the wars and all the rapes and pillages taken place and whatever happened to culture after society? I know I can't certify that I'm not a part of a product of that."
The Des Moines Register reported that the Republican was defending his position of not allowing exceptions for rape and incest in the anti-abortion legislation he tried to pass in Congress. Republican leadership had prevented the bills he sponsored on banning abortions from advancing through the House, despite GOP support for the measures, King said.
Just because a conception happened in bad circumstances doesn't mean the result isn't a person, argued King, who is Catholic. Other members of Congress who co-sponsored the legislation agreed with him, he said.
"I’ve got 174 people who say they don’t want exceptions for rape and incest because they understand it is not the baby’s fault, to abort the baby, because of the sin of the father, and maybe sometimes the sin of the mother too," he said. "And so I refused to do that."
It triggered a backlash from top Republican and known bigot Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY).
Today’s comments by @RepSteveKingIA are appalling and bizarre. As I’ve said before, it’s time for him to go. The people of Iowa’s 4th congressional district deserve better.
My friend @JDScholten is standing up and fighting back against Steve King, and he needs all of our help — because no matter where you live, you know there’s no place for Steve King’s racism, bigotry, and hatred in Congress.
Steve King must resign. His latest comment is a disgusting attack on victims of sexual assault. The people of #IA04 deserve better. We must work together to elect @JDScholten in 2020. https://t.co/y5QDB4ToHc
Iowans are kind, decent, and welcoming people. Steve King doesn’t deserve the honor of representing them, and they deserve much better than Steve King. Let’s help replace him with someone who is as decent as they are. Join me in supporting @JDScholten: https://t.co/HNtMQFvEgIhttps://t.co/MyfcK8Qvef
Rep. Steve King should resign. His comments on rape and incest have no place in Congress and fuel a corrosive culture in this country around sexual assault.
King was stripped of his committee posts after he complained to the junk food media about his thoughts on white nationalism, western civilization and the great replacement theory.
King has endorsed foreign politicians who spread extremist views.
Round two for J.D. Scholten.
King also has been very supportive of Trump when it comes to the separation of migrants and banning of Muslims.
He believes that multiculturalism and immigration are destroying the white race. He is often praised by white extremists and has appeared on CNN, MSNBC and Fox News.
He is a part of the Freedom Caucus until this year. Earlier this year, Republicans stripped him of his committees and caucus membership.
He along with Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC), Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX), Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY), Rep. Jody Hice (R-GA), Rep. Doug Collins (R-GA) and Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ) are the least productive members of the House of Representatives.
All they have done is become a thorn in the hair of many Republicans. They only win praise from Donald Trump and the assholes on Fox News.
His challenger is going for another round. J.D. Scholten wants a rematch. He nearly beaten the Republican. This time he is determined to defeat King.
Our congressman continues to push his selfish agenda above the needs of #IA04 -- this time he excuses violence. This isn’t what we stand for. Help us spread our message of positive change across all 39 counties:https://t.co/jRduESrx7Chttps://t.co/bHdYFcyHth
Israel bans Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar because they spoke out against the status quo.
This is an unprecedented level of stupidity coming out of Washington.
The imbecile and foreign bullshit artist are working together to punish two elected lawmakers.
Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) are allegedly banned from traveling to Israel. The two lawmakers were heading with the Democratic coalition to investigate the atrocities sparked by the never ending conflict between Israel and the Palestinians.
He tweeted today.
The Philadelphia shooter should never have been allowed to be on the streets. He had a long and very dangerous criminal record. Looked like he was having a good time after his capture, and after wounding so many police. Long sentence - must get much tougher on street crime!
It triggered a backlash from the Democrats and the two lawmakers.
Omar and Tlaib became the first Muslim women to serve in the U.S. House of Representatives. They have been very critical of the Israeli government and its controversial shit kicker Benjamin Netanyahu.
The Israeli government issued the denial of entry on Thursday. This was a move in response to the Boycott, Divest and Sanctions Movement. The two lawmakers support the Palestinian-led boycott against the Israeli government's brutal treatment of the dispute region's citizens.
This move drew swift condemnation from Democratic leaders, some Republicans and the largest Israeli-sponsored lobbyist group.
AIPAC responded to the Omar and Tlaib's denial of Israel.
We disagree with Reps. Omar and Tlaib’s support for the anti-Israel and anti-peace BDS movement, along with Rep. Tlaib’s calls for a one-state solution. We also believe every member of Congress should be able to visit and experience our democratic ally Israel firsthand.
Netanyahu said the interior minister had decided to deny entry to the lawmakers who were scheduled to visit the region. The shit kicker supported the move.
"As a free and vibrant democracy, Israel is open to critics and criticism, with one exception: Israeli law prohibits the entry into Israel of those who call for and work to impose boycotts on Israel."
Corruption goes hand and hand.
Netanyahu added, "Congresswomen Tlaib and Omar are leading activists in promoting the legislation of boycotts against Israel in the American Congress. [The pair's] itinerary revealed that tey planned a visit whose sole objective is to strengthen the boycott against us and deny Israel's legitimacy."
Tlaib's family lives in the West Bank. She immediately denounced Trump and Netanyahu as enablers of bigotry and global instability.
Both lawmakers respond to Trump and Netanyahu.
It is an affront that Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, under pressure from President Trump, would deny entry to representatives of the U.S. government.
This woman right here is my sity. She deserves to live in peace & with human dignity. I am who I am because of her. The decision by Israel to bar her granddaughter, a U.S. Congresswoman, is a sign of weakness b/c the truth of what is happening to Palestinians is frightening. pic.twitter.com/GGcFLiH9N3
Then here comes the status quo lawmakers. The Speaker of House, Nancy Pelosi, Majority Leader Steny Hoyer and top-Israeli supporter and bundler Jerry Nadler saying they're outraged but actually they're relieved that Omar and Tlaib are banned.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) denounced the decision to bar them entry, calling it "a sign of weakness, and beneath the dignity of the great State of Israel." She also called President Trump's earlier statements about the congresswomen "a sign of ignorance and disrespect, and beneath the dignity of the Office of the President."
An aide to Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-MD), the House majority leader, said he "believes refusing them entry is a grave mistake that undermines the bipartisan pro-Israel consensus." Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer called on the government to reverse its decision, saying it "will only hurt the U.S.-Israeli relationship and support for Israel in America."
The first-term Muslim members of Congress are outspoken critics of Israel's treatment of the Palestinians. Tlaib's family immigrated to the U.S. from the West Bank. Omar has been accused of anti-Semitism for previous remarks about Israel, but has apologized for her incendiary comments.
Politicians and former diplomats spoke out against barring the congresswomen from visiting following an unconfirmed earlier report that Israel had resolved to bar Omar and Tlaib from entering the country.
Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY), who has previously criticized Omar, tweeted that he "strongly condemn(s)" Israel's decision to bar the two congresswomen.
"I strongly condemn this decision by the Israeli government, which undermines the ability for our two allied countries to have the frank, open and, at times, difficult discussions that we must have in order to ensure Israel remains a secure and democratic nation," Nadler said.
Former U.S. Ambassador to Israel Dan Shapiro wrote on Twitter that any decision to bar their entry "harms Israel's standing in the U.S., boosts BDS."
Israeli lawmaker Ayman Odeh, leader of the Joint List of Arab parties, criticized the move, writing that "Israel has always banned Palestinians from their land and separated us from other Palestinians, but this time the Palestinian is a U.S. Congresswoman."
Arthur Lenk, formerly Israel's ambassador to South Africa, said barring Omar and Tlaib "would be sinking us deeper into U.S. domestic political quagmire."
Black terrorist caught after he shot six Philadelphia cops in a nearly 10 hour standoff.
Okay, we're dealing with a difference of shootings here. The police were attacked by a Black terrorist holed up in his own home. The terrorist and two accomplices are caught. The bullets were fired from all angles but luckily no one was killed.
I only mention the name of the mass shooter in the title. The other two are caught. They won't be mentioned other than the charges they'll face as well as the terrorist.
The far-white once again wants to justify "tomatoes to potatoes" when it comes to the junk food media's coverage of mass shootings.
Three white terrorists attacked innocent citizens at a garlic festival, a Walmart and an entertainment district.
I said it time after time, no one wants to live through a mass shooting. No one in their right minds wants to be in fear of a potential mass shooter.
Now, here's the question of the day?
Will Donald J. Trump, Congress and the agitators in the junk food media say the terrorist had mental issues?
Thoughts and prayers, thoughts and prayers. Thoughts and prayers won't heal the wounded or bring back the dead. It's just meaningless platitudes and I am getting sick and tired of folks posting on social media saying they have their condolences for those killed by gun violence.
Why we keep doing this?
I repeat myself over and over again! I am getting really tired of dealing with mass shootings.
People should not ever live like this.
Heavy metal in Philly.
Cops don't have a cape or shield. They wear bulletproof vests. Yet, they have a 60% chance of going home after their shifts. The most dangerous call for a police officer is a domestic violence call. Then comes the routine pull-over. Then the active mass shooter. Then the elements (i.e. tornado, wildfire, and water rescue). Lastly, the wild or domestic animal on the loose is dangerous.
Cops have to be babysitters, therapists, bullies and enforcers. Some cops do their jobs by actively working in communities of color. Those are the good cops. The bad cops often post bullshit on social media, support white nationalist rhetoric, assume all people of color are acting suspiciously and make bogus claims to unlawfully search your car and home. They are the ones who make good cops' job a death sentence.
Since the terrorist was Black, you expect our dear leader to post remarks on social media or publicly.
Trump often scapegoats Black, Hispanic, Muslim or immigrant mass shooters for his political gain.
They will find a way to justify more restrictions on people of color. Trust me, the far-white are often so predictable it's just purely pathetic to read the word vomit from some these folks.
Cause from what I'm reading on social media, these ignorant ass conservatives are calling this terrorist a thug and blaming Black Lives Matter, Democrats, Barack Obama, Corey Booker, Kamala Harris, Rev. Al Sharpton and Rev. Jesse Jackson.
You notice that the junk food media rushed to detail the terrorist's criminal history. They never give a glowing profile of this guy. They gave the Dayton and El Paso terrorists glaring profiles of how they were "NICE GUYS" and practically human. Since this terrorist is a Black man, "oh, he's thug" to the typical "Democrats want to kill cops" with the added "Rev. Al Sharpton, Colin Kaepernick and Black Lives Matter are...." nonsense.
Another mass shooting in the United States. This time in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The suspect was caught. Who deserves the blame? (Expect the far-right trolls to pick the dumbest answers and offer the most stupidest responses)
This incident happened in North Philadelphia near Temple University. The gunfight and stand off lasted nearly 10 hours. The SWAT Team managed to tear gas the home and force the terrorist out of the home without any violence.
The charges of kidnapping, attempted murder of a police officer, being a felon with a weapon disability, inducing panic, falsification of identity, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, drug and weapon possession while being a felon and reckless endangerment are automatically given 20 to LIFE in Pennsylvania.
The accomplices will face weapon and drug charges. The charges could land them in the iron college for up to 15 years.
The suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
Trump, Mike Pence, Gov. Tom Wolf, Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA), Sen. Pat Toomey (R-PA), the 18 U.S. Representatives and Philadelphia mayor Jim Kenney will do the usual "thoughts and prayers" and "our heart goes out to" bullshit. They will speak on how the police saved lives and stopped a mass shooting. They forget that the mass shooter had an AK-47 and an arsenal of firepower. He shot six cops within minutes of the first engagement. He managed to outgun the law.
He managed to keep two cops hostage.
Kenney was not mincing words at the presser.
"I'm a little angry about someone having that much firepower."
He added that Congress and Trump are inept when it comes to firearms and gun violence.
The terrorist surrendered peacefully.
"Our officers need help. They need help. They need help with gun control. They need help with keeping these weapons out of these people's hands....This government....don't want to anything about getting these guns off the streets."
The arrest ended a dramatic, hours-long standoff in which six officers were wounded by gunfire while another was hurt in a crash. Two Philadelphia police officers and three civilians were also trapped inside the row home with the gunman before they were safely evacuated around 10 p.m. Wednesday.
"SWAT was able to successfully extract the two police officers that were trapped upstairs, as well as three prisoners," Philadelphia Police Commissioner Richard Ross said. "They were all taken out safely thus far."
The Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), the FBI are actively involved in this.
The law were trying to do a narco bust when this went down.
Trump is going to likely respond to the situation shortly.
WHEN COPS SEE A BLACK MAN WITH A FIREARM REGARDLESS OF IT BEING LEGAL OR ILLEGAL, THEY AUTOMATICALLY SHOOT THE BLACK MAN. EVEN AN UNARMED BLACK MAN JUST REACHING FOR A WALLET OR A DOOR HANDLE COULD BE KILLED BY THE COPS. THE POLICE AND JUNK FOOD MEDIA TRY TO MAKE THE VICTIM, "THE BAD GUY" BY BRINGING UP HIS PAST HISTORY, HIS SOCIAL MEDIA OR HIS FAMILY LIFE. MANY WHITES (IN LARGE GROUPS) HAVE FIREARMS IN FRONT OF POLICE AND THEY NEVER GET SHOT OR KILLED. WHY AREN'T THEY AFRAID OF THEM? WHENEVER SOMEONE COMPLAINS ABOUT LACK OF BLACK FATHERS, I CONTINUE TO DENOUNCE THIS BULLSHIT. I REMIND THEM THAT THE POLICE KILL BLACK FATHERS. THE POLICE LEAVE CHILDREN OF COLOR WITHOUT A BLACK FATHER. AND NO AMOUNT OF MONEY COULD BRING THE PEACE AND TRANQUILITY TO THE FAMILIES OF THOSE KILLED BY THE COPS. FOR EVERY BAD COP, THERE WILL BE A DEAD COP! I DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING ON THE INTERNET OR THE COP'S VERSION. GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES. THERE IS NO GOD! GOD IS NOT FIXING THIS! DONALD J. TRUMP, REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS ARE INEPT. THEY ARE NUMB TO GUN VIOLENCE. THEY CONTINUE TO ALLOW FIREARMS IN THE HANDS OF TERRORISTS AND BAD COPS. EXPECT MORE COPS SHOOTING UNARMED OR LEGALLY ARMED PEOPLE OF COLOR. EXPECT COPS TO WALK WHEN THEY CLAIM THEY USED DEADLY FORCE BECAUSE THEY FEARED FOR THEIR LIVES. EXPECT MORE MASS SHOOTINGS. EXPECT GOOD COPS TO BE KILLED BY TERRORISTS. POLICE DEPARTMENTS CONTINUE TO ALLOW BAD COPS AND CORRUPT POLICE UNIONS TO REIGN STATE SPONSORED TERRORISM UPON PEOPLE OF COLOR. POLICE KILLING PEOPLE OF COLOR IS STATE SPONSORED TERRORISM. BEING A COP IS A THANKLESS JOB. THEY CONTINUE TO SERVE AND PROTECT IN AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS JOB. THOSE CHARGED ARE INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY IN A COURT OF LAW. WE DON'T CONDONE VIOLENCE AGAINST LAW ENFORCEMENT OR ANY HUMAN BEING.
Don't you just want to scream!
Philadelphia mayor and police commissioner are dealing with a mass shooting of law men. They were dealing with a clean house of racist cops and detectives.
Scream in the faces of these damn lawmakers whenever they offer their "thoughts and prayers" to every fucking mass shooting in the United States. They will offer their condolences and say a word vomit how they sympathize with the deceased. Some here will tell us that "now isn't the time to talk." Others will say that "the NRA has too much influence on gun laws." Others will criticize those who believe that "race plays a role in gun violence."
A bullet doesn't care what you're politics, your religion, your social standings or voting record.
The Bullet Doesn't Care If You're Black, White, Asian, Native American, Latino, Hispanic, Immigrant, Straight, Gay, Transgender, Queer, Rich, Poor, Smart Or Dumb. It Doesn't Care If You're A "Good Guy With A Gun" Or A Innocent Target. The Bullet Will Always Hit A Target!
Remember That!
We will talk about this for a few days and then we're off to another controversy. The next controversy would either be something done by Donald J. Trump, a politician, an entertainer or another mass shooting. The next mass shooting will be even worse than the last one.
