Yes. There are plenty of threads here that say "white male" and later its found not to be, and they wither away

If that Gov of Texas doesn't do something right now, asap, there should be riots in Texas. Shame on law makers in Texas, shame on law makers in the federal gov. We all need to stage mass protests, tell what you want about Socialist countries, but they knew how to demand to be heard.
"House Bill 1143 says a school district cannot prohibit licensed gun owners, including school employees, from storing a firearm or ammunition in a locked vehicle on a school parking lot -- provided they are not in plain view."
"Texas lawmakers, instead ... doubled down on an NRA led agenda to encourage guns everywhere, no matter the risks and costs to safety."
Really, this is what they in acted today!

When fathers abandoning their children is no big deal, you get consequences. The breakdown of the family is a huge cause of whats happening.

Don't forget mental health.
As if other countries don't have mental health issues, angry males, video games, and extreme music.
Most other civilized countries don’t have half the neglected children (and elderly) that this country has. You ought to travel a bit and see how normal humans care for their young.
Child abuse and neglect can have devastating consequences. So next time you see it, it IS your business - or at least it should be.
Tisk, tisk. Don't you understand that taking care of children and the elderly is SOCIALISM!!!!! Heaven forbid billionaires and multinationals don't suck every penny out of everyone.

I agree with the PP that we need to take steps to reduce childhood trauma and neglect. We can see in our own city that when children raise children, they are unable to provide a safe nurturing environment for their children. These scared hurt children, who are laughed at if they show care and concern or interest in anything, grow up and become furious and full of rage, and the cycle continues. I also believe we need to do something about guns right now. It is not either or. We need to reduce childhood trauma and control guns.

texas governor is getting scorched online for having signed a law that expands where guns can be carried

i guess it’s provably too soon to make this political and wonder what laws might prevent a shooting like this from happening.
Name?
It doesn't seem to have been released yet. Police have just identified him as . white man in his mid-30s.
Which is why I’d like a name
OK? Well try stomping your feet five times and see if it magically appears.
Every time there is no name quickly its because it ends up not being a white guy, and these threads die, so id bet hes not white

Yes, pp. the two infants that were just shot a little while ago (one in the face) were abused. Abused by our society, the NRA, Wayne LaPierre, Donald Trump, Mitch McConnell, Fox News, and the Republican party.
Your answer is a deflection, as the post to which you responded isn't necessarily pro-NRA. This is indeed a THROW-AWAY country b/c we don't have a broader safety net that allows us to care for our young and our elderly. I have family and friends in Italy. My friend was able to leave her job for a year to care for her dying father. She stepped out of a position that was high-powered and included quite a bit of international travel.
So when the other PP mentioned neglect, s/he was referring to physical and emotional neglect. Children raised by video games are neglected. But it's easier to stick an iPad in front of a toddler, for example. Years of that type of parenting can damage children, as they don't develop empathy.
just saying . . . This is not a sermon; it's simply a reminder that these mass shooters are created - shaped by home life and societal pressures.
This is exactly what people need to focus on. You will never have the ability to reduce the evil violence of traumatized, abused and neglected children once they grow up and unleash their rage.
Again:
Other civilized societies don’t neglect it’s children and elderly the way Americans do. Think about it, people. The seeds of the problem are sown right under your OWN nose.
Good thing the GOP supports paid family leave, universal healthcare, and a robust social safety net. Oh, wait. .....
I was a 2A supporter but now I'm done. I want all guns confiscated and the 2A repealed. And as the country turns blue, this will happen.

Apart from one tweet about being briefed about the shooting, the President can't bother to even tweet his condolences? But, he has the time to tweet about Debra Messing?!

This is not normal, this is because of the guns, nothing to do with the 2nd amendment. I am so sick of this government! There needs to be immediate ban of all weapons and a confiscation of those already in possession.
Well, there are more guns than ever in the US and the violent crime rate is about half of what it used to be. Doesn't that make you happy?
No. No shootings are acceptable, no guns are acceptable. Thai is stupid excuse and you know it. Until there is a ban on carry, buying, possession, I will not be happy. I want a full ban like Australia did. This is like saying, "dad used to beat me every day but he now beats me only every other day, so now I have a good childhood!"

How will we know he’s a bad guy and not a good guy with a gun? Do we have to wait until he starts shooting and killing people, and then take him down?
