Of course there are. Don’t be so sensitive about the failings of white America though. This country’s societal problems are mostly on us. I know it sucks to admit, but it’s the truth.
I guess I don’t feel the guilt you do…. and I am not sensitive to the “failures”. I am sensitive to the excessive criticism. No place on Earth is perfect and I think the USA gets much more right than wrong. Can we give accolades to white America for the things it has succeeded at just like you blame white America for the failures?
In the past anyone could mail order a firearm out of the Sears and Roebuck catalog. Delivered to your door with nary a check.
There is no arguing the fact guns used to be easier to obtain than they are today.
Aside from institutionalizing 95% fewer people per capita than we did in the 1950s, what has changed?
Or was this type of thing more prevalent then?
Sure. Great interstate highway system. Love the First Amendment thing. Unfortunately, our people are hooked on drugs, we’ve got the most people incarcerated of anywhere on the planet, our insurance system is a joke, our healthcare rights are getting stripped away, college is unaffordable, kids and other innocent people are getting slaughtered by the thousands, and. it’s only going to get worse because white people act like whiny man-children.
But the roads!!! Hey, would it be inappropriate to say if you don’t like it here use the Interstate Highway System to leave? I mean people sneak in here by the millions. Can’t be as bad as you say…..you must be a miserable human being….
Yeah, we should definitely carry our flag around like a security blanket, sucking our thumbs, and pretending we are perfect. Sounds like an adult way to behave.
We’ve been spoiled rotten and it’s foolish to think it’s not going to happen at a major sporting event sometime extremely soon. Think of how many people a mass shooter could take out on Melrose 30 minutes before kickoff of an Iowa game. What’s the plan in place to prevent that? Prayers, I guess.
Or some crazy in just about any vehicle flying down the street picking people off…
Woman drowns three = what a sick, evil human.
Man shoots three = this is the gun’s fault
One of the arguments used by some on here for stricter gun control and regulations is that they could make it harder to kill large amounts of people.
So what’s the response when someone with a gun shoots the mass shooter at the mall in Indiana? “Oh geez, so glad it was only three dead. A victory for stupid cons and gun nuts.”
Moral fabric in this society has decayed. Other’s lives are simply not valued as they should be. This is much bigger than guns. Way, waaaaaayyyy bigger.
Does a woman drown three every single day in America?
Your last sentence also justifies calls for "red flag laws". And that's yet another item the Radical Right refuses to accept.
Has Kimberly ordered flags to half staff yet? Maybe she just needs to check with the NRA to make sure the most recent political donation cleared the bank.
Interesting thread we have here.
Usually these types of incidents have a page or two about how awful of a situation its/t's&p's, ect. before they move into gallows humor and petty bickering...especially when it's so close to home.
I suppose this is psychic numbing happening in real time.

No, but that wasn’t really the point.
I would be OK with red flag laws, FWIW.
It seems like a lot of people on this board really glamorize the whole “cowboy” way of life. Live by the pistol and die by the pistol. Some real badasses!
It’s so China won’t invade us, right @NorthernHawkeye ?
I think what has happened recently in Maqueketa is horrible. And it saddens me deeply. We are in a grave situation. One that I do not think we can rise from. Mental health?? Sure, it’s great talk. But we are no where near to address that complexity. Gun control?? Forget it. We as a country can’t decide on one damn thing. If we had to decide what pants to wear, we would sit on the bed doing nothing.
It’s okay to educate yourself. It won’t hurt. I promise….
Redlining's legacy: Disinvestment in Chicago neighborhoods
A new exhibit at the Federal Reserve shows the long-term impact of the mid-20th-century home-lending guidelines that shut off some areas of the city from access to home loans.

Bull shit.
1/6 comes to mind.......Charlestown comes to mind......"America....Love it or Leave it!" sound familiar?
The "plan" part, outside of law enforcement response, is heavily focused on clean up and messaging about emotional support. At least as far as the University is concerned.
The last time shots were fired on campus that stuff was painted over before most of us woke up for the day.
Flick, you worry too much. You know that "Iowans just do the right thing"....so there is nothing to worry about.....unless it is a deranged visiting fan.
You mean back before the 70s when the NRA was a gun safety organization, and not a fascist corporate lobbying group allied with a political party that is actively trying to destroy democracy and institutionalize Christian fundamentalism, Limiting the rights of women even more than does sharia law?
So it sounds like he was not with the other three, but the three were one family. will be interesting to see if he was there with others, or camping on his own.
9-year-old survived attack that killed his family while camping at Maquoketa Caves

What if I told you White America created the problem? But that wouldn’t fit your StormFront talking points, I know.
Funny you didn't remember my friend and local banker being murdered. You indicated it was OK because evil bankers were charging too high of interest rates at the time. His murder helped lower interest rates according to you. BTW he used a 12 gauge shotgun to kill his 3 victims then himself. Don't act like you care about innocents being murdered unless you can lay blame at the feet of Team Red...still the hypocrite, don't ever change...
Awesome tapestry of deflection.
Since you responded to me, can you address the question I raised?

As a nation it’s clear we have accepted 2A trumps all other rights, even life and liberty. So…I’m really just done pretending this stuff is shocking anymore…just another day here in paradise….
Yep, nothing black Americans could do, nary a one could ever have been successful in this shit hole, racist country....well, unless a white savior such as yourself came along and helped them.
How little do you truly think of people of color?
