    On-point tweet.



    They learned from Trump that consequences are for those other people. They're about to find out that they are, in fact, those other people. They'll look up to their orange god-king and shout "save us!", and he will ignore them.

    buying a 15yo kid a gun for Christmas. Jesus Christ almighty.

    reminds me of a guy I knew years back - a work colleague who lived in Alexandria VA. this guy was a poster-boy for "mild-mannered accountant type" ... hardly any hair at 28, thick glasses, super mild-mannered, buttoned-up, quite the nerd.

    a really, really nice guy whose company I liked.

    at lunch one day he casually mentioned that the night before he'd taken his 4yo son out at dusk for a walk in the nearby woods. sounds lovely, said I.

    yep, he said. "I wanted to give him a chance to practice on my new Walther PPK".

    after I picked up my jaw from the floor he went on to explain how there were stories about break-ins near his house and he wanted to be sure his kid knew how to handle the gun.

    4 fukking years old!!!!

    Maybe Ricky Schroeder will bail them out.

    Did the suing of gun manufacturers for atrocities like Sandy Hook ever go anywhere?

    A "Walther PPK"? Was the really nice guy Bond, James Bond?

    Well, anything is possible since, I guess in the latest movie [SPOILER ALERT] it appears Bond has a kid (highlight to view).

    And I'm proud to be an American?
    Where at least I know I'm free
    To shoot up schools and laugh at kids who died
    The NRA gave that right to me
    And I'd gladly stand up
    Next to you and blow y'all away
    'Cause there ain't no doubt I love mah guns
    God bless the USA?

    Does anyone actually think that Tr*mp would allow them to sit poolside?
    Maybe stop for a "meet and stroke his ego," but actually sit poolside? Nah, that's not for the plebeians.

    That is where you misunderstand me. I have normalized what their behavior is, not that it is or ever should be normal.
    But what you and I are seeing differently is that I see people who are not Trumpists are dumb people with guns and have kids who will shot up a school. To me, this is an issue of violence and gun control. It has been so prior to Trump and it will be after Trump.

    Actually, those two groups are not mutually exclusive. As a matter of fact, I guess we can both agree they are largely, overlapping.

    According to CNN, the parents withdrew $4000 from an ATM and turned off their cell phones.

    Good luck Ethan.

    Well, the gun exploded with a mighty bang
    And four more people died
    As the killer sat all alone in his cell
    His parents took a ri-iide

    Fam on the run

    We are we gonna talk about white culture? Like Black people and everyone and thing from rap music to absentee dads is to blame for Chicago but never once do we want to talk about how only white kids respond to bullying by shooting up the school.

    Oh man

    This is so tragic. I don't get why he was allowed to stay in school.

    The parents need to be hung in gibbets

    We are never to talk about that directly. Any such conversation must begin and end with something about mental health. Maybe that's really what it is. Maybe there's no trigger needed for White killers- just, "Hey, I hear voices... I'm-a shoot somebody"

    I feel bad for the kid, reared into nuttery, given a gun, and when he obeys his inner voices and ends up in jail, the folks who made him what he is today dipped like Bonnie and Clyde. Caught a few minutes ago, FWIW.

    I'm halfway convinced that these guys think they're a Submariner and a PPK away from being 007, when what they really are is the Charmin grocer, or Bernard Goetz with an engineering job. I see it probably two or three times as often as any of you due to my town being tech-infested.

    "The Crumbleys" sounds like the title of an FX sitcom about a family of moron bakers

    It's the dumbest timeline - can't wait for their exclusive media tour of Steve Bannon's podcast and the Fishsticks show, before they run for congress
