Grieving great grandfather asks police in Uvalde why they didn’t do anything to help his great granddaughter who was murdered. A random White man tells him to stop living in the past. So on brand.

What a prick.

[agingdem]

1. the loss of a child is devastating..

there is no moving on, no new normal...there is no past...it is forever that moment...

[yonder]

18. Poignant, heartbreaking words. Every parents' nightmare.

[SoonerPride]

2. I won't say what I wish I could say

[Boomerproud]

4. Neither will I.

I wish I hadn't opened up the thread.

[highplainsdem]

3. I don't know enough swear words to express what I think of that random white man.

[exboyfil]

5. Dox him.

[Grokenstein]

19. Oh my goodness, no! That wouldn't be civil!! /s

(Seriously though, just wait. The rightwank media machine's already seeking him out to give him his own daily radio program.)

[Scrivener7]

37. This. Name him and shame him and show his photo. He knew his statement would

be made public. Or should have known.

[Baitball Blogger]

6. Typical behavior from a clueless, insensitive person

[blogslug]

7. Hollow platitudes from the unaffected

Mr Haircut can go right to hell along with Mr. "I don't work for this town" PD.

[MerryBlooms]

8. Despicable! Idiots say all sorts of egregious

Things to people who are grieving. I went through it with even my own family members when my husband died. I was furious, and it took me years to forgive that shit.

It probably took every ounce of restraint of that grandfather, not to punch that jerk in his smug ass face.

9. Why in the hell is that asshole even there? nt

[niyad]

23. To be an asshole.

[skypilot]

10. "There's nothing we can do."

You can shut the fuck up.

[dalton99a]

11. What a goddamn asshole

Hope he gets to experience that pain

[Rebl2]

20. Same here

[Evolve Dammit]

12. They would have had to pull me off of that SOB. What a worthless POS. n/t

[Butterflylady]

13. You relive it every day of your life.

[lunatica]

14. Pinche cabron!

[Rhiannon12866]

15. Good Grief! Aren't they still having funerals?

There were so many that it was impossible to have them all at once...

[xxqqqzme]

16. Better to be thought you are an

insensitive asshole than to open your mouth and prove it to the world.

[Bluethroughu]

17. What a scum bag...I hope that man never has to feel the pain the Great grandpa is feeling.

No sympathy, just plain ugly.

[niyad]

21. May that white person, and all like him, receive everything they deserve.

[panader0]

22. I had a friend who lost his daughter at age 10 to leukemia.

It devastated him and he never got over it. It changed him from an outgoing happy musician to
a morose guy, forever with that weight in his mind. I have children. I can't even imagine them dying
before me.

[SeattleVet]

24. Random white dude's actually unintentionally right in one way, you know.

Stop living in the past.

Joseph Robinette Biden won the 2020 election.

tRumplethinskin lost.

So he can take his own unsolicited advice and stop living in the past.

[The Jungle 1]

25. The right will lick police boots every chance they get.

That you can bank on.

[moonshinegnomie]

26. If I said what should be done to the asshole

Not only would I be banned here I’d get a visit from the police

[ShazzieB]

27. Not going to watch it.

I'm afraid my brain would explode, and then I'd hulk out and start smashing things.




Just reading about it was bad enough!

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

28. STOP LIVING IN THE PAST????

It was what? Just over a week ago?

Actually I hope the jerk who said that does get to experience this kind of pain so that he can understand it is NEVER in the past. Never.

[Solly Mack]

29. Not surprised someone would say that.

[Cheezoholic]

30. I lost my 25 year old step daughter 5 years ago

I dont know who that person who said that is nor if they were sincere in trying to comfort. I can tell you one thing, when addressing a grieving parent, especially right after their loss, you shut your fucking mouth and let them grieve. There is nothing and I mean nothing anyone can say to relieve that grief. It is a human emotion that few,thank goodness, will ever have to experience themselves.

31. This is a metaphor of how our country is turning into a shithole.

“Quit whining and shut up. Now is not the time to talk about it, nor is any time. As long as I get to keep my guns, fuck you.”

[Takket]

32. I want that piece of shit Doxxed

I want his employer called. I want his name on every corner of the internet. I want him to be fired so we can all tell him to stop living in the past. Internet, get on it.

[roamer65]

33. I hope karma comes around and bites that jerk off in the ass.

Fuck that POS. He makes me ashamed to be Euro.

[MustLoveBeagles]

34. FFS

This happened just under 2 weeks ago! That dude needs to shut hiis ass up!

[MiniMe]

35. You mean the past, which was only about a week ago, where his granddaughter was alive?

What a total jerk-off.

[Kid Berwyn]

36. Heartless gunhumper.

Hope he never has to go through what the great-grandfather has experienced.
