Uvalde - the followup

"2 children are dead ...; shooter died of self-inflicted gunshot" #160

- time out -

Has it always been like this? About the same % population goes postal as a century or two before, BUT
what's changed is more efficient news reporting makes the per capita status quo merely look worse?

Or has per capita mass-murder actually increased?
If the latter, WHY ?!

What has changed within our society that would elevate a citizen's self-perception of hopelessness, powerlessness enough for them to resort to this?
 

Minnesota senator tells RFK Jr. ‘stop peddling bulls‑‑‑’ on mass shootings

by Colin Meyn and Dominick Mastrangelo

Minnesota Sen. Tina Smith (D) blasted Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Thursday after he suggested psychiatric drugs given to children could partly be to blame for school shootings.

“I dare you to go to Annunciation School and tell our grieving community, in effect, guns don’t kill kids, antidepressants do,” Smith wrote on the social platform X on Tuesday, just more than 24 hours after a deadly school shooting in Minneapolis. “Just shut up. Stop peddling bulls‑‑‑. You should be fired.”

Kennedy has long argued selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), a class ....

To the mom in Minneapolis today who ran barefoot toward the school — shoes in hand, fear in her heart — millions of moms around the world were running with you.

We may not know your name, but we know your soul.

Because every mom saw themselves in you today.

The desperate sprint. The shaking hands. The prayer that their child is safe.

You ran toward the unthinkable because that’s what moms do — love makes us run through fear. And while you carried your shoes, you carried the weight of every parent who has ever whispered, “Please, not my baby.”

We shouldn’t have to run like this. Not in our neighborhoods, not to our children’s schools. Yet here we are — another day, another headline, another broken piece of our hearts.

But please know this: you weren’t alone. Every mom, every dad, every human who still believes children deserve safety and innocence — we were running with you.

She didn't hold back and even called for his firing...
"I dare you to go to Annunciation School and tell our grieving community, in effect, guns don’t kill kids, antidepressants do,” Smith wrote on X. “Just shut up. Stop peddling bullsh*t. You should be fired.”
Smith's response including a quote tweet of a conversation that RFK had with Fox News hosts in which he said that his agency: is "launching studies on the potential contribution of some of the SSRI drugs and some of the other psychiatric drugs that might be contributing to violence."
“There are 400 million guns in this country. More guns than people. In America, we are ten times more likely to be shot in a school or playground than any ....

DOGE wunderkind Thomas Fugate III, a 22 year old Trump intern who was appointed to lead counter terrorism and threat prevention at DHS, gutted the department firing 75% of the staff. According to Fugate, “domestic terror” and “domestic born shooters” weren’t the problem and that the department needed to “focus on illegals.”

This department coordinates cross-agencies tips, and helps power online monitoring programs for proactively catching things like mass shootings before they happen.

But, given it’s got basically no staff, I imagine they are drowning in backlog, and too busy focused on the President’s made up agenda, and so didn’t catch the fact that the shooter was blatantly posting about his planned crimes online.

This is why we hire qualified people for offices; not partisan loyalists.

Trump’s loyalty pledge literally cost children their lives. —Adam Cochran
