Either this country will learn to put some differences aside to put itself back together, or we will continue down the road of ending up like the Dead and gone Empires before us.

This.
Our nation was founded on violence and the high murder rate is just a reflection of that.

I'll bet he doesn't lay a wreath in TX. The shooter is the wrong skin color, and the state's governor is a Republican. <sigh> There's just no political points to be scored there, and no political agenda to move forward.

I haven't seen any pictures, yet. Are they being scrubbed, so the Left can push a false narrative, or am I just running up the wrong alleys?

How about a little human decency?
That went away, within about 40 minutes, with the Left calling for gun control. (See quote above)

A number of the shooting victims are children of Customs and Border Patrol agents, law enforcement sources told ABC News.
I wonder if this was a sort of payback thing too. Like having a thing against the Border patrol?

You really should do something about that 'American Leftoid Bias'

(did you learn this from CNN)???

Save that for the trial if there is one. Or save it for the feature on the news a few weeks later. It doesn’t matter anyway, just the ravings of lunatics.

Now they just invite more crazy people who want to get that kind of infamy.
I think school shootings are a social and psychological phenomenon. I’m not a psychologist but I know similar things happen with suicides and other copycat clusters. After columbine, it became a way to martyr yourself. I don’t think there’s any way to undo it either.

You seem to have a political agenda here. Why don't you give the President a chance to respond before you lay out the future for us?

(I just got off work so short on details of this particular shooting. The kid could have been scary and they wouldn’t be so blasé about it, but just pointing out how different a small town is from a city.)

I think that you are wrong IF most of the victims are Hispanic. Actually, I think you are wrong even if the victims were white. His advisers know that the media will be reporting on this, and not to "lay a wreath" would cause a PR firestorm, imo. This is, of course, if Biden even goes to Texas -- which would not be the first time that a POTUS didn't attend some kind of memorial service after a school shooting. I mean, Clinton sent Gore to Columbine after that massacre instead of going himself. (I was living in Littleton at the time, so I remember.)

But maybe this will make some people think twice about saying that white supremacists are the biggest threat to the U.S. -- but probably not.

Unfortunately A regular occurence in America, not surprising with the gun laws (or lack of them), will America EVER learn? How many innocent children need to die before something is done about it! These kids were under 10 years old FFS! If nothing changes its only going to get worse there, and to think some people are stupid enough to think MORE guns is the answer! Its incredibly sad.
