In Allen, Texas, the names of the victims were released. The victims names were:
Daniela Mendoza and Sofia Mendoza. Two little girls who were shopping with their parents.
James Cho, and his parents, Cindy and Kyu. The surviving child lost his parents and brother.
John Jun. A local leader for the Korean American Coalition of the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
Christian LaCour. The security guard on duty who was ambushed.
Aishwarya Thatikonda. A young woman from India who was shopping.
Nine people died, including the shooter, and seven others were injured, with three in critical condition. Of the eight victims, three were Korean Americans from the same family (including a child), and one was an engineer from India. Medical City Healthcare said that it was treating victims ranging from 5 to 61 years old, with most of the victims being transported to Medical City's McKinney facility.
The shooter was a 30 something incel who had idolized Neo Nazis and white supremacy.
The shooter was Hispanic (identified as White). The far right dismissed it as a false flag and throw out the claim that people of color can't be Nazis?
Ask Ye.
Elon Musk, owner of Twitter decided to follow the conspiracy trail by responding to a right wing troll's claim that the terrorist was not actually a Nazi and pictures of his tattoos were photoshopped.
Insufferable lawmaker Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) believes it is the fault of the current president and his love for illegal immigrants.
Anyway, Saturday's mass shooting and Sunday's vehicle incident where a motorist intentionally struck seven migrants waiting at a bus stop in Brownsville.
Guess what the Republicans and far right agitators talking about?
The victims were identified.
The border.
Title 42, public health order by Washed Up 45 during the coronavirus virus pandemic is expiring on Thursday. Conservative outrage is present. They are blaming President Joe Biden for the rise in migrants seeking asylum and crossing the U.S.-Mexico border.
They are complaining about fentanyl being seized at the border and potentially criminals being detained. It's almost like they don't want anything done at the border. They seem fixated on the possibility that the white population decline is a reality.
Just adding more ingredients to an already toxic environment. Making more extremists a day. With a good economy at best, Republicans have no real solutions. So they will do stunts like pass a debt ceiling increase bill that require spending cuts. It's ridiculous.
The terrorist maintained a profile on the Russian social networking platform OK.ru, including posts referring to extremist online forums, such as 4chan, and content from white nationalists, including Nick Fuentes, an antisemitic white nationalist provocateur.
In the weeks before the attack, the terrorist posted more than two dozen photos of Allen Premium Outlets, where an officer killed him after the shooting Saturday, and surrounding areas, including several screenshots of Google location information, seemingly monitoring the mall at its busiest times.
Many of his posts referred to his mental health. In his final post, he lamented what his family might say and wrote that no psychologist would have been able to fix him.
In another post, he made disturbing comments about what makes a mass shooting "important" and praised a person who opened fire at a private Christian school in Nashville, Tennessee, this year, killing six people, including three children.
The shooter also posted a series of links to other sites, including a YouTube account that featured a video published the day of the shooting. In it he removed a "Scream" mask and said, "Not quite what you were expecting, huh?"
He also posted photos of a flak vest emblazoned with patches, one of them with the initialism for "Right Wing Death Squad," a popular meme among far-right extremist groups. Another post included a series of shirtless pictures with visible white power tattoos, including SS lightning bolts and a swastika.
The shooter was armed with multiple weapons, including an AR-15-style rifle and a handgun, authorities said.
Regardless of this, what we know was this gunman managed to wipe out eight people within seconds. Not one second would have saved these lives.
According to the far right: White shooters are mentally ill. Black shooters are unrepentant criminals. Gay shooters are active groomers. Muslim shooters are terrorists. Hispanics and Asians 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.
The Republicans usually amplify white victims. Anytime a person of color kills a white victim, it is often wall-to-wall coverage on Fox and they force it into national news. 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.
Elon Musk criticized for allowing the sharing of graphic images of the victims and spreading conspiracy theories.
Republicans solutions are more guns, blame others for America's social ills and defect from accepting reality.
Every community in the United States will eventually have a legacy. A legacy of never ending tragedy. Gun violence, extremism, monkeypox and COVID-19 will affect your town, your family and your life. So I don't want to hear that bullshit about how gun reform is taking away your rights to own firearms.
I don't want to hear that protesting against police killing people of color is hate on cops in general. I don't want to hear talk about the coronavirus being a myth.
When you hear folks say "gun rights," what they really mean is that its white privilege. This good guy with a gun nonsense has to end. The cops didn't do nothing when children were shot inside a school. A security guard was shot dead trying to protect shoppers. A cop accidentally shot his own. The good guy who tried to stop a bad guy is outgunned and a part of the rule #3.
Remember #3 means: The "good guy with a gun" better be prepared to die if they want to stop a shooter.
I don't want to hear folks say masks and vaccine mandates impede their freedoms. It prevents a deadly outbreak from spreading. If you want to die from the coronavirus, that's on you. We lost over 1 million people from the coronavirus.
I don't want to hear the shit about guns saving lives. Cause a bullet does not have eyes and it's always likely gonna hit a target. These folks seem to not get it. These incidents are a tragic part of American history. Thoughts and prayers and your heart going out to the victims is not enough. It quite frankly is an insult. I am also tired of scapegoating Black on Black crime, Chicago, Baltimore and Democratic mayors for the nation's obsession to be numb to gun violence. You pretty much enable this nonsense by deflecting.
President Joe Biden is trying to curb gun violence. However, he has no support from Republicans. Most Democrats and America are for gun control measures. However one Democrat and one independent who caucuses with the Democrats in the Senate refuse to change the filibuster rules and its holding us back.
The National Rifle Association is always pushing against it. They will not relinquish from the narrative that guns are not saving lives. The Republicans aided by a fickle junk food media are openly encouraging anarchy and disruption in a desperate attempt for the Republicans to win back Congress and the White House. These agitators are calling for Biden to curb crime but will not help him. They want more guns on the street. It makes no sense.

GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE PROBLEM IN THE UNITED STATES.
Weight loss and health company started by fitness guru is going out of business.
The Jenny Craig Diet.... a popular theme of the weight loss company. Now it will be a part of history as the company is going out of business.
After 40 years in business, weight-loss chain Jenny Craig has announced it is closing down in the U.S., Canada, and possibly several other markets around the world.
Reports of the chain's demise first emerged last week, when the chain was scrambling to come up with cash to cover a looming debt payment, and warning staff of major layoffs to come
The business — which offers pre-made meals and coaching lessons to millions of people trying to lose weight — has roughly 500 franchises across the U.S. and Canada, and more globally.
Jenny with her late husband Sidney Craig.
It was founded by American entrepreneur Jenny Craig in the 1970s but changed hands numerous times over the years.
Its most recent sale was in 2019, when it was purchased by private equity firm HIG Capital for an undisclosed sum.
The chain's efforts to fix its business proved fruitless as the chain filed paperwork with bankruptcy courts in the U.S. and Canada in recent days.
"Thank you to our loyal Jenny family," a notice on the company's website reads. "It's with a heavy heart we're announcing the close of our business."
The move means that effective immediately, all of the chains activities have ceased. Any food scheduled to be delivered has been cancelled, as are all orders for coaching sessions and merchandise sales.
The judge overseeing the former president's hush money cover up trial told him to stop posting about it. He has now a gag order imposed after he constantly derided Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.
Also he faces a sexual assault trial which now in the hands of jury.
E. Jean Carroll is suing the former president for rape. The former president was given an opportunity to defend himself but missed the deposition on Sunday.
Judge Juan Merchan largely sided with Bragg by limiting what Washed Up 45 can publicly disclose about new evidence from the prosecution before the case goes to trial.
It's almost over.
The order says that "any materials and information provided by the People to the Defense in accordance with their discovery obligations ... shall be used solely for the purposes of preparing a defense in this matter."
Merchan's order said anyone with access to the evidence being turned over to the former president's team by state prosecutors “shall not copy, disseminate or disclose” the material to third parties, including social media platforms, “without prior approval from the court."
It also singles out Washed Up 45, saying he is allowed to review sensitive "Limited Dissemination Materials" from prosecutors only in the presence of his lawyers and "shall not be permitted to copy, photograph, transcribe, or otherwise independently possess the Limited Dissemination Materials."
In addition, the order restricts the former president from reviewing "forensic images of witness cell phones," although his lawyers can show him "approved portions" of the images after they get permission from the judge.
It needed to stop. Bragg requested that all mentions of the trial by Washed Up 45 is off limits.
The former president’s lawyers and the DA’s office did not immediately respond to requests for comment Monday.
The ruling largely tracks with the DA’s office request for a protective order, which Washed Up 45's attorneys had complained was “extremely restrictive.”
Prosecutors had argued they needed “safeguards that will protect the integrity of the materials,” saying the “risk” that the former president would use them “inappropriately is substantial.”
“Donald J. Trump has a longstanding and perhaps singular history of attacking witnesses, investigators, prosecutors, trial jurors, grand jurors, judges, and others involved in legal proceedings against him, putting those individuals and their families at considerable safety risk,” the DA's office argued in a court filing last month.
Prosecutors had stressed they were not seeking a gag order against Washed Up 45, a 2024 presidential candidate — they just wanted to make sure he did not misuse their evidence.
Stormy Daniels had to increase security due to Washed Up 45's threats.
“Defendant has a constitutional right to speak publicly about this case, and the People do not seek to infringe upon that right,” their filing said.
The former president's lawyers argued in a filing last week that the DA's proposed order would do exactly that.
“The People’s Proposed Protective Order infringes upon President Trump’s First Amendment right to freely discuss his own character and qualifications for federal office and the First Amendment rights of the American people to hear President Trump’s side of the story,” it said.
Merchan said in Monday's order that prosecutors had shown "good cause" for their request.
Washed up 45 was charged last month with 34 felony counts of falsifying business records related to hush money payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels and another woman toward the end of his 2016 presidential campaign to prevent them from speaking about their allegations of affairs with him. He has pleaded not guilty and has said he did not have an extramarital affair.
The former president has maintained Bragg and the judge are biased against him, and his lawyers filed paperwork last week seeking to have the case transferred to federal court. The request is pending.
A former boyfriend told the FBI about the viral photo of a woman who participated in the the attack on the U.S. Capitol. This woman wore a pink beret and stood out. Many on the far right assumed that this woman was either a FBI mole or Antifa. Turns out she was a die hard supporter of Washed Up 45 and a collector of Adolf Hitler's Mein Kampf.
NBC News reported that the FBI has confirmation of the suspect and they are going to apprehend her soon.
Last weekend, a clothing designer was standing in the checkout line waiting to purchase a needle for his sewing machine when his buddy saw something funny on his phone.
It was a tweet from the FBI’s Washington Field Office featuring two striking images of the 537th person added to the bureau’s U.S. Capitol Violence webpage, which has functioned as a “most wanted” list of Jan. 6 participants since the investigation began more than two years ago.
No. 537 on the FBI list is a woman wearing a white coat and black gloves, carrying a black Dolce & Gabbana purse, who has been the subject of Jan. 6 conspiracy theories. In one image, with her eyebrow arched, she looks dead at the camera like she’s Jim from “The Office.” In another, she’s standing near the Capitol, appearing to direct rioters with a stick.
Atop her head: a pink beret.
“I stopped dead in my tracks,” the designer, who asked not to be named to avoid harassment and threats, recalled in an interview with NBC News. “I’m like, ‘That’s Jenny.’”
He sent in a tip to the FBI. On Monday, he said he got a call from the bureau, confirming they were investigating Jenny. By Friday, a law enforcement official confirmed to NBC News that the bureau had identified “Pink Beret” as the clothing designer’s ex, Jennifer Inzuza Vargas, of Los Angeles.
Vargas did not respond to requests for comment.
The designer had dated Vargas four years ago and was able to identify her to the FBI thanks to the tweet’s popularity. Recent posts from the FBI Washington Field Office on Twitter have gathered 10,000 to 20,000 views. The tweet about the woman in the pink beret received more than 7.2 million. Among those millions of viewers was his friend in Joann Fabric.
The images did not show what the woman did at the Capitol, so many on Twitter assumed she didn’t do anything serious. Some Donald Trump supporters pounced, calling this another instance of FBI overreach, a reason to defund the bureau.
Feds identifying all the participants in the U.S. Capitol attack.
The jokes flooded in, too. One Twitter user dubbed the woman “Insurrection Eva Braun,” another compared her to Carmen Sandiego. Someone called her “fascist Matilda,” and several users made jokes about her being a character from a Wes Anderson movie. “Emily in-carceration,” read one of the joke tweets referring to the show “Emily in Paris.” There were a couple of comparisons to April Ludgate, the character played by Aubrey Plaza in NBC’s “Parks and Recreation.”
The clothing designer’s friend was among them: “He’s always on Twitter, and he said something like, ‘Yo, check out this chick.’”
That night, after tipping off the FBI, the clothing maker took to his own Twitter account, quote-tweeting the FBI’s post.
“I use to date this girl in 2019 LOL,” he tweeted, attaching an old picture of Vargas, wearing a red ski hat. After his tweet began to pick up steam, he started getting harassment and worried if could escalate to threats. He decided to delete the tweet, saying that things were getting “crazy.”
To the “Sedition Hunters” — the online sleuths who have spent the last 800+ days compiling and organizing open-source materials to help identify Jan. 6 rioters — Vargas was known as #PinkBeret. While the sleuths had aided in the cases against hundreds of Jan. 6 defendants and identified hundreds more Jan. 6 rioters who the FBI had not yet been arrested, Pink Beret remained elusive, despite being captured in a variety of videos and photos that day.
Online sleuths had mapped out Pink Beret’s day, and she seemed to be everywhere. There she was, captured in photos and videos taken at the initial breach of the police line, by the Peace Monument. There she was, on the front lines of the attack, on video cheering on as rioters tore apart a black fence so they could chuck the pieces at the police line. There she is, in photos and video, holding the door open for other rioters at one breach point, entering the building, then entering the building again from a second breach point. There she is inside as men in military gear chase police officers under a roll-down emergency door. There she is, smoking a cigar, on the east side of the Capitol. There she is, moving a large black bag from the pile of media equipment that rioters were hellbent on destroying. “Traitors get the f---ing rope,” someone yells repeatedly as rioters smash equipment and Pink Beret looks on in high heels.
They had attacked it from all angles, but no luck. One sleuth said he had searched for pink berets so much that he began to get targeted ads for the caps, including a pink one adorned with small white puffs.
That all changed last weekend when the sleuths saw the clothing designer’s tweet. They said they ran a facial recognition check, got a match, found more photos and found plenty of material to confirm the ID, including a post in which she appears to have sold a (slightly damaged) Dolce & Gabbana purse that looks like the one Pink Beret wore to the Capitol.
The clothing designer, who’s based in Los Angeles, met Vargas, who’s from Sacramento, online and they hit it off “really well” in late 2018. In early 2019, when they were in their early 20s, Vargas flew down to L.A. “We weren’t, like, trying to get married or anything,” he said. “We were hooking up for a few months.”
Toward the end of those months, the designer said, Vargas posted on his Discord that she was reading Hitler’s 1925 manifesto. They got into a discussion about it that revealed more of Vargas’ far-right politics, he said.
“I was just instantly turned off, like, ‘Yo, I don’t think this is going to work out,’” he said. “You’re, like, reading ‘Mein Kampf,’ you think immigrants don’t deserve X, Y, Z.” (One of the social media accounts linked to Vargas, which was viewed by NBC News, also makes references to Hitler.)
After their relationship fizzled, Vargas stuck around in the Los Angeles area, the designer said; the account that sold the Dolce & Gabbana bag is based in Beverly Hills, and an Instagram account that appears to belong to her has posted from Los Angeles.
They kept in touch, occasionally exchanging messages even though their interests diverged. “She’s super into politics, and I didn’t know anything besides the fact that Trump lost,” the designer said. But he knew she was in Washington on Jan. 6 and did some research. He even asked her if she was on the “no fly” list in a message he wrote to her a few days after the attack, on Jan. 10, 2021, which he shared with NBC News.
“Nope, cause I didn’t go into the [Capitol],” she wrote, despite extensive video evidence later viewed by NBC News that does appear to show her inside the building.
“But you still crossed state lines to riot,” he replied.
“I was there to support the president. Not to partake in that riot. I support the police,” Vargas responded.
In the months that she remained unidentified, some speculated that Pink Beret was an “agent provocateur,” part of a pattern of Jan. 6 defendants and their supporters attempting to deflect responsibility for their actions by suggesting fellow rioters were working on behalf of the government to entrap Trump supporters during the attack.
Kira West, an attorney for Jan. 6 defendant Darrell Neely, has questioned the government about Pink Beret, who is seen on video holding hands with Neely inside the Capitol. West wrote in a memo this year that it was “hard to believe the government doesn’t know who she is and even harder to understand why they haven’t charged her with crimes like everyone else.”
West, in a filing in February, wrote that “Mr. Neely’s entry into the Capitol was directed by Pink Beret. Mr. Neely needs to know who she is and why she was there. He also needs to understand if he was targeted by her that day and for what purpose.”
Pink Beret was “central to Mr. Neely’s defense,” and the court should allow a “robust cross examination of government witnesses about Pink Beret girl, her possible connection to law enforcement and her role in the events of January 6, 2021,” West wrote.
The government has sought to have Neely’s defense team banned at trial from raising questions about whether Pink Beret was a member of law enforcement unless they could offer any evidence for that assertion, writing, “the Government is unaware of any evidence to support that contention.”
With hundreds of cases waiting in the pipeline, months and even years have gone by between the time rioters have been identified and when they’ve been arrested. But with Neely’s trial set to begin on May 22, the government may need to produce the new evidence it collected last weekend about Vargas’ identity expeditiously.
Asked this week about Pink Beret being identified by her ex, West said she wanted answers from the FBI months ago. “The FBI is late,” West told NBC News. “I have no idea if she has a connection to [law enforcement]. They won’t tell us.”
Vargas isn’t the first Jan. 6 rioter to be turned in by a former romantic partner. Richard Michetti was turned in by his ex after he called her a “moron” at the Capitol because she didn’t believe Trump’s lies about the 2020 presidential election. Last year, he was sentenced to nine months in federal prison.
The clothing designer said he thinks it’s important to get to the bottom of things and figure out if Vargas was working with any extremists on Jan. 6. But he said his “heart hurts” for Vargas.
“She’s clearly, like, a lost person,” he said, but added there needs to be accountability for people who stormed the Capitol.
He said he was struck by the sheer randomness of learning that an ex-girlfriend was on the FBI’s wanted list because of viral Twitter jokes.
“It’s just going to be one of those things for me,” the designer joked. “I dated this girl that was on the FBI’s most wanted list.”
If you're getting tired of the politicians reacting to gun violence in the United States using the troupes, "thoughts and prayers," "our hearts goes out to the victims" or "now it's not the time", then you're not alone.
Are you tired of the constant reaction by politicians saying that "quick reaction by law enforcement prevent more deaths?"
Well you're not alone.
I've gotten tired of these mentions of gun violence troupes. The shrugging off of a man-made crisis caused by a person using his/her right to firearms. Most of these mass shooters are legal owners.
And are you getting tired of the politicians (especially Republicans) using Chicago as an excuse to deflect from gun violence in RED STATES?
The Allen, Texas mass shooting is the latest. Lawmakers react with the usual "thoughts and prayers."
Rep. Keith Self (R-TX) has made it clear that Americans who don't believe in "thoughts and prayers" are not in favor of the Almighty God.
Question: Are you concerned about the rise in these incidents across the country? Rep. Self: Of course. Absolutely. Any time there is violence, whether it be in one of the big cities, riots, the trashing of stores in Chicago, or shootings like this.. pic.twitter.com/ld0EcGDmB5
“Congressman, I believe it is possible to both pray for the victims, but also think ahead as a politician, as an elected representative about how you keep your community safe.” pic.twitter.com/2SCcgzwEb1
Self, who represents Texas' 3rd Congressional District which includes Allen, Texas, the site of the latest mass shooting in the U.S. pivoted on CNN about gun violence by using the troupes.
When a CNN reporter asked what his response was to people who feel "prayers aren't cutting it," the congressman said, "Well, those are people that don't believe in an almighty god who is absolutely in control of our lives."
He is one of the 300 members who refuse to acknowledge the 2020 results and is more concerned about Dylan Mulvaney being a spokesperson for Bud Light. On top of that, he like the insufferable Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), Thomas Massie (R-KY), Lauren Boebert (R-CO), Byron Donalds (R-FL), Beth Van Duyne (R-TX) and Ronny Jackson (R-TX) all pose with firearms like they're so tough.
Texas, Alabama, Ohio, Missouri, Mississippi, Louisiana, Georgia, Florida, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Washington, Pennsylvania, California, Illinois, Arkansas, Indiana, North Carolina, District of Columbia, Connecticut, Maine, Maryland, Hawai'i, Virginia, Kansas, Puerto Rico, Kentucky, Utah, Arizona, Colorado, New York, New Jersey, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Tennessee had mass shootings this year.
The shooting at the Allen Premium Outlets sent hundreds of shoppers and employees fleeing in panic. Authorities said the gunman, who has not yet been named, killed eight and wounded seven others before being killed by a police officer who happened to be nearby.
This keeps on happening and prayers won't stop this man-made crisis.
Allen, Texas. Population 124,000
Mass shooting: 242
Okay, President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, Gov. Greg Abbott, Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and the U.S. Representatives from Texas were notified of the latest mass shooting in the United States.
They will do the usual "thoughts and prayers" and "our hearts goes out to" as well as the Republicans saying that "now it's not the time to talk" bullshit.
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.
Again, having more security, teachers being armed and offering safe rooms are not solving the problem.
THE NICE GUY IS THE MOST DANGEROUS PERSON WITH A FIREARM. THOSE WHO ARE SPURN BY RELATIONSHIPS, THE WORKPLACE, SOCIETY IN GENERAL WILL SEEK REVENGE BY TAKING OUT LIVES. THEY WANT TO BE RECOGNIZED FOR THEIR ACHIEVEMENTS OF MASSACRING THEIR FELLOW HUMAN BEING. THE JUNK FOOD MEDIA AND POLITICIANS ADD FUEL TO THE FIRE BY AMPING UP POLARIZING RHETORIC.
Only five days after a gunman murdered five after a noise complaint in Cleveland, Texas and three days after a gunman shot four inside an Atlanta hospital. Not to mention the other mass shootings I didn't cover on this blog.
President Joe Biden keeps telling America that Republican members of Congress are tone deaf when it comes to gun violence.
Mass shootings are the causalities of four or more gunshot victims.
BE WARNED THERE IS GRAPHIC VIDEO AND IMAGES. TAKE EXTREME DISCRETION WITH THIS. WE DO NOT HAVE CONFIRMATION OF THE VICTIMS OR THE TERRORIST.
I SHOW THESE IMAGES ONLY FOR THE PURPOSE OF AWARENESS. NOT FOR CLICK BAIT OR ENDORSEMENTS OF VIOLENCE.
The insufferable Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) who offered her phony "sympathies" in the Atlanta massacre decided to troll Americans with this "good guy with a gun" bullshit. She retweets her boyfriend Brian Glenn's graphic video footage. See below.
Friends be very careful when watching videos about the Allen Outlets shooting.
The video that begins with this screenshot has extremely graphic images of the dead victims including at least one child.
The mass shooting in Allen, Texas the Premium Outlet Mall.
Five deaths and dozens of injuries. The terrorist is killed.
So far, there's 365 days in the year and so far in the United States, there over 200 mass shootings.
The city is part of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex.
An active shooter doesn't care about the politics, race, gender, sexuality, nationality, religion, your finances, your family, your plans that day, your successes, your failures, and most importantly, your life.
You're not safe in the school, the concert, the hospital, the church, the casino, the bus station, the subway, the light rail train, the buses, the malls, the local big box store, the political rally, the protest rally, the women's center for reproductive surgeries, the mosque, the synagogue, the state buildings, the workplace, the gas station, the family picnic, the food truck rally, the funerals, the birthday parties, the graduations, the wedding, the televised events, the sporting events and many more events that have some terrorist with a firearm. Domestic violence, suicide, racism, culture war inspired, politically motivated and international operative inspired are types of gun violence.
The shooter is motivated within seconds to take out as many people as he/she can.
Unconfirmed image of multiple victims.
What to do to protect your life.
1. Run - If you hear sounds like firecrackers, popping sounds or suspicious activities around a large gathering (i.e. malls, stores, clubs, public gatherings), if you can flee, run away from the shooter. Do not run in a straight path of the sight. Move around and zig-zag if possible to keep yourself out the line of fire. It's best to not film a shooter commiting the act. If you are willing to risk your life for a viral video, more power to you but its best to stay out of the line of fire by running away.
2. Hide - If you are involved in an active shooting, you must barricade yourself in a room and keep doors locked, lights off, phones on silent. Do not go into restrooms, lockers and kitchens. Those are most likely places where shooters often go. If you can barricade a room to prevent a shooter from getting in, it eliminate the opportunity for the shooter to get through. Make sure you keep your voice low when you're involved in mass shooting. Call 9-1-1 if you can.
3. Fight - If you are willing to risk your life or willing to film the incident, you have no choice but to fight. Make sure you grab something that is powerful enough to disarm a shooter. Do not confront a shooter in the midst of sight. Make yourself not visible if you're trying to fight. Do not think being a "good guy with a gun" is going to stop a bad guy. The cops don't see good guys trying to stop bad guys. They see active shooters and they will shoot anyone who is armed regardless of the matter. If you're ready to fight, be prepared to die. It's best to not be easily seen if you're trying to stop a shooter. If you're a conceal carry and attempt to disarm an active shooter, you are willing to sacrifice your life to save lives. You are willing to go hero, you could die a hero or an idiot.
4. Realize - Mind you, that the types of firearms used by shooter are based on capacity. As with rule 3, you have only less than a second to make a reaction when the shooter is set on sights. So there's no real solution to save your life in the event of an active shooter. The best thing to do is understand, that anywhere in the United States could be a target of a mass shooting. Congress isn't doing a damn thing about it.
According to the far right: White shooters are mentally ill. Black shooters are unrepentant criminals. Gay shooters are active groomers. Muslim shooters are terrorists. Hispanics and Asians 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.
The Republicans usually amplify white victims. Anytime a person of color kills a white victim, it is often wall-to-wall coverage on Fox and they force it into national news. 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.
Republicans solutions are more guns, blame others for America's social ills and defect from accepting reality.
Allen Police confirmed there were fatalities in the shooting but were not yet ready to release the number of people who had been killed. Allen Fire Chief Jonathan Boyd said at least nine shooting victims were taken by city ambulances to area hospitals but cautioned that there could be others who were injured who were taken to hospitals other ways.
Rep. Keith Self (R-TX) said on Twitter at about 6:15 p.m. that the gunman was no longer a threat and that there were a number of casualties, which Allen Chief of Police Brian Harvey later confirmed at a news conference at about 6:30 p.m.
Gov. Greg Abbott declared Texas a Second Amendment Sanctuary.
Harvey said an officer was at the outlet mall responding to an unrelated call when he heard gunfire. Harvey said the officer ran toward the gunfire, found the gunman and "neutralized" him. The officer then made the call for ambulances.
Harvey said they believe the gunman acted alone and that there is no ongoing threat to the community.
"Our deepest sympathies are with the families of the victims," said Harvey. "This is a tragedy, people will be looking for answers, we're sorry that those families are experiencing that loss."
In a tweet Saturday, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives confirmed the active shooter situation at the mall at about 4:30 p.m., about 30 minutes after the incident took place. The bureau sent agents to the mall and helped local police in the initial response of clearing stores in the sprawling outdoor mall.
An ATF spokesperson told that agents and K-9 officers are now working to locate shell casings and begin the process of tracing the firearm or firearms involved in the attack.
City officials said they expect to provide another briefing sometime Saturday evening.
Of course, here comes the "thoughts and prayers" from Texas' most dumbest leaders.
Families like mine out shopping on a Saturday will forever be changed by this awful tragedy. Some will not make it home. Aly and I are praying for all impacted by this. https://t.co/U5Zl9To7TH
We are devestated by the tragic news of the shootings that took place at the Allen Premium Outlets today. Our prayers are with the victims and their families and all law enforcement on the scene.
This is an ongoing situation, but Allen PD has full control of the scene. A…
In a written statement, Abbott said he was aware of the shooting and offered the state's assistance in investigating the shooting.
“Our hearts are with the people of Allen, Texas tonight during this unspeakable tragedy,” Abbott said. “I have been in contact with Mayor Fulk and DPS Director McCraw as well as other state and local leaders and offered the full support of the State of Texas to local officials to ensure all needed assistance and resources are swiftly deployed, including DPS officers, Texas Rangers, and investigative resources.”
Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick issued this statement today following news of the shooting in Allen:
“Please join Jan and me in mourning the victims of the unspeakable tragedy in Allen. Please also join us in prayer for the victims’ families and friends along with the residents of Allen. We are grateful for our brave first responders who were deployed to stop the shooter and investigate this hideous crime. We are thankful for their bravery and courage.”

Every community in the United States will eventually have a legacy. A legacy of never ending tragedy. Gun violence, extremism, monkeypox and COVID-19 will affect your town, your family and your life. So I don't want to hear that bullshit about how gun reform is taking away your rights to own firearms.
I don't want to hear that protesting against police killing people of color is hate on cops in general. I don't want to hear talk about the coronavirus being a myth.
When you hear folks say "gun rights," what they really mean is that its white privilege. This good guy with a gun nonsense has to end. The cops didn't do nothing when children were shot inside a school. A security guard was shot dead trying to protect shoppers. A cop accidentally shot his own. The good guy who tried to stop a bad guy is outgunned and a part of the rule #3.
Remember #3 means: The "good guy with a gun" better be prepared to die if they want to stop a shooter.
I don't want to hear folks say masks and vaccine mandates impede their freedoms. It prevents a deadly outbreak from spreading. If you want to die from the coronavirus, that's on you. We lost over 1 million people from the coronavirus.
I don't want to hear the shit about guns saving lives. Cause a bullet does not have eyes and it's always likely gonna hit a target. These folks seem to not get it. These incidents are a tragic part of American history. Thoughts and prayers and your heart going out to the victims is not enough. It quite frankly is an insult. I am also tired of scapegoating Black on Black crime, Chicago, Baltimore and Democratic mayors for the nation's obsession to be numb to gun violence. You pretty much enable this nonsense by deflecting.
President Joe Biden is trying to curb gun violence. However, he has no support from Republicans. Most Democrats and America are for gun control measures. However one Democrat and one independent who caucuses with the Democrats in the Senate refuse to change the filibuster rules and its holding us back.
Never stops.
The National Rifle Association is always pushing against it. They will not relinquish from the narrative that guns are not saving lives. The Republicans aided by a fickle junk food media are openly encouraging anarchy and disruption in a desperate attempt for the Republicans to win back Congress and the White House. These agitators are calling for Biden to curb crime but will not help him. They want more guns on the street. It makes no sense.

GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE PROBLEM IN THE UNITED STATES.
It was a lapse in judgment and now two Detroit Metro Police officers are facing felony burglary and home invasion charges. They are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
The two police officers and a woman broke into a fellow Detroit police officer's home in McComb County. The Michigan State Police and McComb County Prosecutor are considering charging the two with felonies that could put them in the iron college for 15 years.
Officer Brianna Cabano, 29, of Auburn Hills, is charged with second-degree home invasion, conspiracy to commit second-degree home invasion, malicious destruction of property between $1,000-$20,000, and larceny in a building.
Officer Dayna Sears, 21, of Southfield, is charged with second-degree home invasion, malicious destruction of property between $1,000-$20,000, larceny in a building, and accessory after the fact.
Colleen Compton, 29, of Warren, was charged with second-degree home invasion, conspiracy to commit second-degree home invasion, malicious destruction of property between $1,000-$20,000, and larceny in a building.
All three women received $5,000 personal bonds.
"As prosecutors, it is our duty to hold all individuals accountable for their actions, regardless of their profession or position of authority. The crime of home invasion is a serious offense and the fact that the defendants in this case are police officers only amplifies the severity of their actions. We will pursue justice with the utmost integrity and impartiality, ensuring that the law is upheld and justice is served for the victims of this crime," said Macomb County Prosecutor Pete Lucido.
No one is above the law.
Whether he was a boyfriend, husband, supervisor, bully or a random stranger, these women had no right to break into the home.
Jordan Neely was a mentally ill man. A white man placed a deadly chokehold on him.
BE WARNED THERE IS GRAPHIC VIDEO FOOTAGE AND PHOTOS.
A mentally ill man was placed in a chokehold by another man. The incident happened on the New York City subway and it has District Attorney Alvin Bragg considering whether he should indict the man who ended up killing him.
The incident happened on May 1 and it has the nation talking.
Jordan Neely was a 30-year-old black homeless man, was killed when Daniel Penny, a 24 year-old white ex-Marine, placed him in a chokehold while they were riding the F train on the New York City Subway.
According to police, witnesses said Neely was acting in a "hostile and erratic" manner, and yelled that he was hungry and thirsty, and that he would hurt anyone on the train. Despite his complaints, Neely did not physically attack anyone. Penny approached Neely from behind, placing him in a 15-minute chokehold until Neely was unconscious. An onlooker alerted Penny that Neely had defecated; a warning sign he was dying; the onlooker then said "You're gonna kill him." Neely was taken to Lenox Hill Hospital, where he was pronounced dead; according to some sources, Neely died on the subway car's floor. Police questioned Penny, but he was released without charges.
The incident was recorded on video by a witness, freelance journalist Juan Alberto Vázquez. The death is being investigated by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. On May 3, the medical examiner's office determined the manner of death to be homicide, stating that Neely died from "compression of the neck".
This incident rings echos of George Floyd.
Would you want this done to you?
Of course, the far right are quick to defend the actions of Penny. They believe that Neely's prior arrests justify a stranger placing his hands on him. Matter of fact, dude uses a chokehold that ends up killing Neely.
It is the sad reality the far right sees. While they praise Ashley Babbitt and Kyle Rittenhouse, this young man is vilified.
Neely started "to make a speech" while riding a northbound F train, screaming "I don't have food, I don't have a drink, I'm fed up. I don't mind going to jail and getting life in prison. I'm ready to die." He then "took off his jacket, a black jacket that he had, and threw it on the ground." No violence or direct threats were reported. After Neely threw his jacket down, Penny walked up to Neely from behind and placed him into a chokehold.
Vazquez stated he "heard a thump" and saw the men on the floor. The train stopped at the station at Broadway-Lafayette, where it remained while two men grabbed Neely's arms and legs. At 2:29 p.m., one passenger warned the men they should check Neely had not defecated, saying "You don't want to catch a murder charge. You got a hell of a chokehold, man." Neely was then motionless and placed on his side. The same passenger then said, "He's all right. He ain't gonna die." The New York Fire Department received its call for help at 2:39 p.m, arriving at 2:46.
According to some sources, when attempts were made to revive him inside the subway car, Neely was already dead.
Despite the noise, the Biden-Harris administration delivers more jobs.
The jobs report for the month of April.
Job growth fared better than expected in April despite bank turmoil and a decelerating economy, the Labor Department reported Friday.
Nonfarm payrolls increased 253,000 for the month, beating Wall Street estimates for growth of 180,000, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The unemployment rate was 3.4% against an estimate for 3.6% and tied for the lowest level since 1969. A more encompassing number that includes discouraged workers and those holding part-time jobs for economic reasons edged lower to 6.6%.
Average hourly earnings, a key inflation barometer, rose 0.5% for the month, more than the 0.3% estimate. On an annual basis, wages increased 4.4%, higher than the expectation for a 4.2% gain.
Professional and business services led the job gains with an increase of 43,000. That was followed by health care (40,000), leisure and hospitality (31,000) and social assistance (25,000).
Despite serious banking industry troubles, jobs in finance increased by 23,000. Government hiring rose by 23,000.
As expected, for the 50 states, District of Columbia and five U.S. territories; the jobs are given to places far and wide.
Democrat Joe Manchin threatens to tank Democrats agenda if Biden doesn't concede to some Republican demands.
The unfortunate side of a jobs report is the aftermath.
Being laid off or being fired from a job really sucks. Take it from me, I hate it. I am stable but I hate the two jobs I am working at. They don't pay enough and I based my whole life around them and nothing else. It has to come to an end soon.
There is a writer's strike. The Writers Guild of America and its union representatives have decided to strike over the networks not paying enough for its writers. Many of these top executives are making 9 figure salaries.
The extremism in the United States has gone from bad to worse.
Tucker Carlson was fired out the cannon at Fox. It was a shocking revelation. His dismissal came shortly after Dominion Systems settled with Fox for $787.5 million.
Don Lemon was fired from CNN. Dan Bongino was fired from Fox.
The U.S. Justice Department successfully charged five members of the Proud Boys with seditious conspiracy. The major players in the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol are getting served. Washed Up 45 is still under federal watch for this.
Clarence Thomas is under scrutiny for allowing a billionaire named Harlin Crow buy his rulings. It was revealed that Crow paid for Thomas' mom's house and his grand nephew's student enrollment into a high priced private school.
Bud Light apparently caved to pressure from bigots. They are slowing celebrity endorsements after extremists boycotted the company. Dylan Mulvaney became the center of controversy when she showed a Bud Light can with her image.
Race relations are at an all time low. There was an incident on a New York Metro Subway.
On May 1, 2023, Jordan Neely, a 30-year-old black man, was killed by an unnamed white Marine veteran while riding the F train on the New York City Subway. I will discuss the matter on the What Happened To... series.
Neely was acting in a "hostile and erratic" manner, and yelled that he was hungry and thirsty, and that he would hurt anyone on the train. Despite his complaints, Neely did not physically attack anyone. The killer approached Neely from behind, placing him in minutes-long chokehold until Neely was unconscious. Neely was taken to Lenox Hill Hospital, where he was pronounced dead; according to some sources, Neely died on the subway car's floor. Police questioned the killer, but he was released without charges.
Republicans Jim Jordan and James Comer throw out a new conspiracy theory against President Biden.
The incident was recorded on video by a witness, freelance journalist Juan Alberto Vázquez. The death is being investigated by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. On May 3, the medical examiner's office determined the manner of death to be homicide, stating that Neely died from "compression of the neck".
Overseas, the United Kingdom will coronate Charles. He will be officially sworn as the King. However, his reign is marred by controversy. The cost of the coronation, his strained relationship with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, the tone deafness and nations wanting to leave the crown.
Russia has signalled it will increase attacks on Ukraine. There was an apparent drone blown up near the Kremlin. Russia claims it was an assassination attempt on the federation's Vladimir Putin. Then they pivot to claiming it was an American ambush. The Ukrainian president Volodayrr Zelenskyy went to the International Court to ask for criminal charges against Putin. He also increased security. The U.S. dismissed it as a false flag operation.
President Joe Biden has announced his reelection bid and will be running possibly against Washed Up 45. The 80 year old president is aware of his age and the public perception of his job.
Washed Up 45 is coming back to the United States. He was promoting LIV Golf in Ireland and Scotland. Upon the civil trial for sexual assualt, E. Jean Caroll, testified that the former president allegedly raped her in a dressing room in the 1990s. He denied the claims and made the sexist troupe, that Carroll isn't his type. Apparently he confused, Carroll with second wife, Marla Maples. He is the frontrunner in the 2024 Republican presidential candidates. He leads against Florida governor Ron DeSantis who had went overseas while Fort Lauderdale suffered major floods and turmoil in the statehouse.
DeSantis' former rival Andrew Gillum was found not guilty in a corruption trial.
Republicans already signal impeachment, national abortion bans, more guns on the streets, ending birthright citizenship, stopping the Biden pledge to cancel student debt, use taxpayer money to build a border wall, ban transgender people from playing gender based sports, start endless investigations into the president, Hillary Clinton, Hunter Biden, Big Tech, the FBI, the pull out in Afghanistan, repeal the Affordable Care Act, repeal the Inflation Reduction Act, end COVID pandemic assistance and enforce voter ID laws on all Americans.
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy accepts Biden's invitation to the White House. Democrats Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer with Republican Mitch McConnell will work out a debt ceiling increase. Republicans vow cuts.
The Congress has less than 20 working days to raise the debt ceiling. Republicans passed their debt ceiling increase. It included cuts to social programs and repeals of President Biden's recently passed agenda. Biden and Senate Democrats want a debt ceiling increase without cuts.
Republicans see the only path to victory is basically obstruct and complain about the president. They won't offer solutions or policies. All they care about is trying to keep folks angry with culture wars and distractions.
President Joe Biden's headaches:
The Republicans in the House of Representatives.
Gun violence and Congress not doing anything to stop it.
Inflation.

The coronavirus doesn't care about your age, race, gender, sexuality, nationality, religion, politics, economic or social standings. It doesn't care about your business, your performances, your personal finances and travel. It doesn't care about the funerals, the birthday parties, the weddings, the vacations, the events and your graduations.
An active shooter doesn't care about the politics, race, gender, sexuality, nationality, religion, your finances, your family, your plans that day, your successes, your failures, and most importantly, your life.

Jobs are looking good despite fears of an economic slowdown.
Companies are still trying to hire employees. With the average wages stagnant, many are not looking forward to returning to a job that pays dirt wages. Many who worked in the retail, restaurant and low end service industry are not willing to take a job for less than $10 an hour. Matter of fact, no one can survive on $15 an hour.
Republicans don't see the bigger picture itself. They rather continue to believe in conspiracies about people collecting the safety net and not going back to work.
Give them a liveable wage and maybe things might improve in the job market.
Democrat Dianne Feinstein not being in the Senate is stalling Biden nominees for office and the federal court.
We can't always assume that folks are lazy. People are literally dying from being exposed to the coronavirus and folks are tired of the status quo of their jobs.
Many single mothers are having trouble trying to find quality daycare or family members to watch children. On top of that, some have lost family members due to the pandemic. A homemaker may have lost their spouse. Some may have no choice but to watch their children or loved ones due to the aftermath of the pandemic.
Folks are still trying to rebound from medical bills, late rent payments, owing taxes and college loans.
Republicans are white nationalists without a conscience.
Washed Up 45's presidency and Republican controlled governments killed millions of Americans. Biden has a slim majority in Congress and things can't be done with obstruction from both parties.
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.
The call number to the U.S. Capitol is now going to be used. This is the official phone number, 202-224-3121. 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.

American entertainer Jamie Foxx has been hospitalized since March. It appears that the "medical emergency" is far worse than expected. Many of his family and friends are calling for prayers.
The entertainer was filming a movie in Atlanta when he had this emergency. He has been hospitalized since and the family is mum on his health status.
Foxx's eldest daughter, Corinne Foxx, reacted to her father's social media update, sharing it to her Instagram Story and writing, "Thanks for the love!"
In a now-deleted statement from mid-April, she said her father was "already on his way to recovery" thanks to "quick action and care." She mentioned a "medical complication" but gave no additional information.
"We know how beloved he is and appreciate your prayers," Corinne Foxx said. "The family asks for privacy during this time."
The actor had been shooting his upcoming film "Back in Action," which co-stars Cameron Diaz, prior to his health scare.
Eric Marlon Bishop known professionally as Jamie Foxx, is an American actor, comedian, and singer. He received acclaim for his portrayal of Ray Charles in film Ray, winning the Academy Award, BAFTA, Screen Actors Guild Award, and Golden Globe Award for Best Actor. That same year, he was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role in the crime film Collateral.
