How long before Thoughts and Prayers, but no gun discussion...

1. I'm sure it's already happening.

Also, "It's too soon to talk after this tragedy"

And, "Children just died, how could you possibly politicize this?"

[Va Lefty]

2. Here we go again with the same sick dance

[Dream Girl]

3. It's too soon to discuss gun control!

Don't try to capitalize on the politics of this tragedy!

23. They CANCELLED A PRESS CONFERENCE

that was scheduled??? Usually, Presidents want to have a press conference after something like this.

Remember back when Columbine happened, when school shootings (and all mass shootings) were shocking, rare events worth weeks of news coverage and grief and reflection on what we've become?

[Bradshaw3]

31. It's too soon and by the time it won't be ...... there'll be another shooting

Then it will be too soon all over again. Lot of things fucked up in our country right now but this is near the top of the list and don't see it changing anytime soon. Just sad.

[malaise]

4. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

I did not even see your thread

[Vinca]

5. Wash, rinse, repeat. Wash, rinse, repeat.

Sometimes I wonder why they bother reporting shootings anymore. If nothing happened after Sandy Hook, nothing will ever happen. We'll get 24 hours worth of thoughts and prayers BS and then silence until the next shooting. It's the thing I really, really hate about this country.

[Bettie]

6. If they didn't care enough to change anything after a bunch of first graders

got shot to death, why would they care about high school kids?

They don't care. They won't care until a shooter starts shooting up someplace where the rich gather in large numbers.

[Luciferous]

12. Exactly. If it doesn't directly affect them they don't care.

[Funtatlaguy]

7. Well, of course, now is not the time

To politicize it.
No talk of any gun control, regulations of any sort, up to and including no background Checks.
In fact, there’s just never a really good time for that.
We must interpret the second amendment as broadly as possible.
All citizens should own bazookas, tanks, hand grenades and anything they’d like to play war games at their houses and be ready for the government attempted takeover of their lands to give it to illegal immigrants who vote democrat.

8. I'm watching the Florida channels

and hearing that over 20 persons were shot.
This would not have made it national unless there are fatalities.
One student said one of his classmates was shot in the leg and his teacher was shot.

One more fucking disaster that did not have to happen.

[HipChick]

9. Seems like they were pulling folks outta there..

[malaise]

11. At least one teacher killed

Must be great for her/his poor husband/wife this Valentine's Day.

Fuck - the Con is sending thoughts and prayers and in touch with the COn governor

[NurseJackie]

10. Like this?

Or this?



Or this?



Or this?



And this...

[HipChick]

16. @NurseJackie ...spot on

[Nevernose]

18. Fourth cartoon is misleading

58 killed in Las Vegas, 500 wounded by gunfire. Comparable casualties to what the 82nd Airborne suffered D-Day.

And the bump stocks that made it possible are still legal and available in Las Vegas; I can buy one two hundred yards from my house.

[NurseJackie]

33. Hmm. Well... I don't know. I'm not sure I'd go that far. After all...

... as an editorial cartoon, it's main purpose is to convey a commentary message that expresses the artist's opinion. The "missing" information that you characterize as being "misleading" really aren't the kind of detail that's needed to convey the artist's message and opinion. It is, after all, just a cartoon... not an editorial essay or news story.

[Nevernose]

34. I know

I’m just angry and frustrated. This shit could be stopped TOMORROW if enough citizens cared and enough politicians had courage.

[oasis]

13. Another tragedy brought on by NRA/GOP maniacal obsession.

[kairos12]

14. Sorry. Not caught up. What has happened?

[Iggo]

27. School shooting number...what...12? 13?

Watering the tree of liberty with the blood of school kids again.

Yay, Gunfuckers!

[kairos12]

30. Thank you. Just sat down. I see the post about Florida. Terrible.

[OBrien]

15. Exactly

First thing that came to my mind...sadly.

[hatrack]

17. Too soon!!

[Ilsa]

19. White House issued a thoughts and prayers statement saying

the orange baboon is minimally aware of the shooting.

[Sunsky]

20. Exactly nt

[Glamrock]

21. Shit

That's a daily occurrence....

[demmiblue]

22. He pulled the fire alarm in order to shoot as many people as possible.

[StarryNite]

26. OMG!

[Iggo]

24. Oh, that'd be right around immediately.

[Initech]

25. Alex Jones definitely isn't helping.

28. Geez!!!

WTF?! What an asshole! Not that we didn't already know it.

[Initech]

29. I think this is a new low, even for him.

And this is the same week he bought into the "Obama's portrait painted with sperm cells" bullshit.
