    It makes more sense the way the Haabs have it written.
    It still needs to be acknowledged what the kid's dad did and what CNN didn't do (which Tucker Carlson and Fox were all too eager to say on primetime TV they did do).

    Do you want to be the one to compare them to this guy, leading the charge on the recent protest? Because I wouldn't mention them in the same breath.


    The dinner table conversation in his home I'm sure is very edifying.

    Somehow I don't think the alt-right folks are all that terrified right now. Let's look on the bright side though, some day this little idiot could grow up to be president

    I am hearing rumor/speculation that the school district and the police had a deal to juke the stats on student arrests to get more federal money. They had to show a big drop in student arrests and then keep lowering it year after year. So they had to let kids go sometimes even the ones that committed serious felonies. Cruz might have got off on a previous arrest for this reason.

    The NRA is being used as a scapegoat for the gross incompetence of the police/FBI. All of these officers should lose their jobs and should be sued in court. They are being paid to protect the community and they failed in their duty. If it was one small tip and there were no other signs I could understand not pursuing this further. But the huge red flags all over the place leaves one to wonder why exactly would they be ignored.

    Its always about priorities. The federal government doesnt hand out grants for your local school not getting shot up. They do however give a lot of generous grants to go after pot smokers. Dont get to seize a school shooters car and sell it to pay for more overtime pay. Getting all rape kits tested literally requires an act of law to bind some of these police departments to actually prioritize rape. Its all about the Mon-ay.

    There was an AR-15 available to this kid

    However the water gets muddied -- there was an AR-15 available to this kid.

    Whether there were / are other issues, there was an AR-15 this kid bought. Virtually no questions asked.




    Suppose Cruz hadn't access to an AR-15 ?
    Could he have killed 17 by throwing rocks or stabbing ---

    Did he have access to a car? Yes 57, if he used a lesser gun than an AR-15 less people probably would have died. I am not about to restrict the rights of all Americans so 11 people die in this shooting instead of 17. Grand scheme of things its a drop in the bucket and there are far more meaningful steps we should take to reduce gun violence.

    Because the end of the day there is one common theme running through ALL of these horrible instances.
    One ----

    Until that one is addressed -- this will happen again and again

    He legally bought a rifle because law enforcement was negligent in their duties. Otherwise this would have never happened. But hey...it's the NRAs fault.

    Let's compare how often the two are used with the intent of killing people.

    Yea I know Nazis like to use them to mow down people and then internet tough guys blame the victims

    and so did the guy before him and the guy before him and the guy before him and the guy before him and the guy before him and the guy before him and the guy before him and the guy before him and the guy before him and the guy before him and the guy before him and the guy before him and the guy before him and the guy before him and the guy before him


    Is a moderator putting words in a posters mouth ?
    I don't think I mentioned the NRA in the post you quoted
    Did I?
    Purposely because I don't blame the NRA. One bit.
    Just like I don't blame Trump for being President.
    I blame ... that voted for him
    Works the same way with the NRA. I blame ... that vote the legislators that are in the NRA's pocket

    Lol at this idea of me being a moderator that I can't express my opinions. You are so strange when trying to come up with original thought.

    Someone didn't blame the "nazi" for using the car. That's interesting historical memory.
