Young white men are being indoctrinated with 24/7 propaganda telling them they are the real victims

Can't wait to hear them say "well he donated $5 to the democratic party 10 eyars ago"

[-] LanguageIsCool@lemmy.world 30 points 1 year ago

They’re asking if he was on anti-depressants. Everyone else is a murderer, terrorist, what have you. When it’s one of theirs? Just a misguided kid on SSRIs.

[-] mke@programming.dev 5 points 1 year ago

Contrast with keying a car and being labeled a terrorist. By scratching a cybertruck, you become an enemy of the state—something a republican school shooter could never dream of.

[-] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 year ago

Or they find a post where he said something nice about Bernie Sanders.

[-] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 25 points 1 year ago

And the child of a cop.

He’s probably getting a pardon and an ice position

I was recently thinking it's says a lot about a culture, where kids shoot up schools regularly, but immigrants getting a terrible treatment never seem to shoot up an ICE office or other government building.

[-] supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

People in US culture want to think this is a product of white christian men getting hurt and isolated to the point that the poor innocent souls wander into committing a school shooting.

The negative mental health is only part of the equation and isn't even critical to it, what IS critical is teaching christian white men that they have the inherent right given who they are to commit violence and nobody else does.

This is why you see that "incongruity".

[-] huppakee@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago

I think both are part of the same culture to be honest, they are just in very different positions both pushed to an extreme situation (the kids shooting up schools and the government officials threating immigrants like crap). Personally I believe you get what you give and this is the result of a society that is getting what it has been giving (or not giving, really). Really sad situation where a lot of people get way less than they deserve (the parents of the killed kids, the children of the deported families etc)

[-] Doctor_Satan@lemm.ee 21 points 1 year ago

He was one of the "homegrowns". Any bets on him going to CECOT?

[-] octopus_ink@slrpnk.net 11 points 1 year ago

Nah, he'll become a brownshirt.

[-] Formfiller@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Agreed they’ll have him pardoned, kidnapping people and dragging them into unmarked cars as soon as possible

This is a weird way for me to find out about another shooting

[-] FauxLiving@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

It wasn't as bad as some (2 dead, 6 injured).

He originally started with a shotgun but it jammed without firing a shot. He grabbed a pistol from his vehicle and fired into the bystanders.

Police were on scene quickly (FSU is always crawling with plain clothes officers and unmarked cars) and shot and wounded the shooter.

[-] Katana314@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

Oh, what a fucked up world we live in that we see a school shooting as “not so bad, all things considered”…

[-] SmackemWittadic@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

It's only "not so bad" in America.

'No Way to Prevent This,' Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens

[-] idunnololz@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

There is a really fucked up silver lining to this which is every nation not the USA can point to the USA whenever someone wants to loosen gun regulations. In a twisted way the US might be helping other nations by being such a "good" (bad) example.

Who could have seen this coming

[-] SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

And his mom is a police officer.

And he used one of her unsecured guns.

In a system where we want to discourage this we need to hold the parents accountable.

I think a life sentence for each life her son took is fair, for her and her son.

[-] stopdropandprole@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

irresponsible gun owning parents, who literally put firearms into the hands of their homicidal children, need to be held accountable for these tragedies.

dozens of mass shootings in recent years, especially school shootings, were absolutely preventable. if only these fucking lazy stupid ass adults would stop fetishizing guns for 2 seconds, long enough to store their weapons securely like a sane responsible person. or they could, idk, maybe steer their mentally disturbed crotch goblin towards a more pro-social, harmless activity?

firearm ownership is a responsibility too few take seriously.

“He’s just a bad apple”

"Okay, what can we do for mental health?"

"Nothing or genocide/restablish the patriarchy, fuck you lib"

"He should have gotten a job with health insurance so he can afford therapy!"

[-] TheDoozer@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

"We need Jesus in schools!"

No joke, I've heard people say that exact thing in response. That taking God out of schools is what started all this, so if there was more prayer in school, we wouldn't have shootings.

Yeah, because nobody does mass shootings in religious places.

Bad apple from the 250-year-old Southern Orchard.

[-] resipsaloquitur@lemm.ee 12 points 1 year ago

Weird how that keeps happening.

[-] Valmond@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

I want to stress that it has absolutely nothing, I repeat, nothing at all to do with gun "culture" and easy access to guns.

Nothing at all. Promise!

Curious that this is still happening even though Musk has killed the woke mind virus and these guys have won forever.

Um, actually, the tweet clearly says "Florida State University" not "Tesla Cybertruck" so no this wasn't actually an act of terrorism, it was just a peaceful protest instead

Hmmm. Maybe if there were less guns around....

[-] doingthestuff@lemy.lol 7 points 1 year ago

Yes, oligarchs would love if the working class were disarmed.

[-] ace_of_based@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

If some oligarchs actually had some muzzles pointed their way we'd have gun bans in a day

It’s not a good idea to not have guns these days
