Time for a new "Yet Another Mass Shooting Thread"

Did he start singing "Let's Kill Gary Gilmore for Christmas"?

 

Also Republicans: "Only God may take life."

 

Is take supposed to be make? Because I’ve heard only God can make a life.

I disagree with the Republican position on both the death penalty and abortion, but you’re an idiot if you think being convicted of murder beyond reasonable doubt is the same as an abortion.

 

They should have obviously included the CO shooting in their program if they didn't, but let's be real - the Kirk shooting was easily the top news story of the day so CBS rightly led with that story. That's so obvious, even the mainstream news couldn't get it wrong.

 

So I googled Colorado school shooting to see how the wounded victims were doing and came upon this wiki page:



Seems indicative of the problem that a state with just 6 million inhabitants can have four such events (that warrant a wiki entry) in a little over a quarter century. And none of them are even the most recent incident I was trying to find info on.

 

Unfortunately, the whackiest people live in the most beautiful states: Colorado, Utah, Idaho, Washington.

 

No. They are just higher in proportion and don’t get called out on their shit because they only run into the same few dozen people.

 

Pointing out their hypocrisy when it comes to "abortions are wrong because the Bible says don't kill, but I can't wait for the death penalty" is incredibly easy.

 

The entire NBC Nightly News was the press conference. No commercials. Apparently there was a second segment with other news, but my affiliate didn't show it.

 

What are the odds the annual 9/11 remembrance ceremonies get covered at 6:30 tonight?

 

Actually, I used to believe in that. Catholics used to make fun of me.

 

You must feel right at home here!

 

Probably twice - once near the top of the news program and again at the end when they do their daily wank-off feel-good story.

 

That's someone who was bullshitting you.

 

At least those people aren't hypocrites. If someone thinks abortion is wrong because "only God may end life" then they should also be leading the charge against the death penalty.

I have more respect for them than the anti-choicers who get off every time a PoC dies on death row.

 

Not what they say, which is my point

 

I was against abortion because of the Biblical passage that condemned hands that shed innocent blood. I wanted the death penalty expanded as the Bible said.

 

Right, definitely if you're not Catholic you would not necessarily know.
In my adult life time( since Pope Paul VI, I believe) the church has clearly opposed capital punishment, culminating with Pope Francis Modification to the catechism in 2018. Not to say that there hasn't been disagreement within the church but there are always those types in the church.
