Thank you. The sad thing is, some people aren't interested in thinking about that. I would think that given the details of this shooting, race would be left out of it, BLM would be left out of it. I was looking for someone to bring up parents and parenting. I'm the first one to mention parenting. That should be the first thing people think about. Of course, somehow, race came into the equation.
BLM is on the list with Communism and Socialism. It's a Cut and Paste response to everything that really means nothing. Half the people screaming Communism or Socialism could not tell you the difference between them or which countries are Socialist versus Capitalist in Europe, the land they love.
If I hear a person chain Socialism, Communism, Antifa, and BLM together in a rant I just ignore them. They are just spitballing and looking for the right trigger word to get someone's emotions going.
It all starts with parenting. And in this case, that parent is a irresponsible firearms owner.
THANK YOU!!
I notice no one even thought to talk about that kid's parents. Where else would that kid get a gun? Or better yet, why was this kid messing around in her parents stuff? Why didn't the parents have that gun locked up better?
Alot of questions no one is asking. But then again, I have to think about why some people are asking other questions, or interjecting things into this discussion that do not belong. Making this about guns, well, I suspect some people would be happy to see guns banned. I don't. And then someone tried to make this about "a Black person probably did that mass shooting". Interjecting something into it that had no place in the discussion.

And in this case, Communism, Antifa, Black Lives Matter, they have nothing to do with this event. Why are said persons bringing all of this into a discussion about a 6th grade girl shooting up a middle school, in small-town Idaho?

First off, I remember being a little kid, probably younger than this 6th grader when my dad had "the talk" with me about firearms. He was a hunter at that time so there were rifles and shotguns around. Back then , he didn't have a safe, they were on a gun rack that he made as a Boy Scout when he was a kid. Then, sometime in middle school we had "safety week" , where the local PD and FD came to school and taught us what we should do in emergency situations. They also spent some time on firearms and what we should do if we encountered one in our homes or others.
Yikes, clearly you don’t know what the word “disproportionate” means.
It means we blacks are 14% of the population so we cannot commit more than 14% of the mass shootings in America, but we do. That’s why it’s called disproportionate.
Your link proves my point.
