WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK WILL IT FUCKING TAKE TO FUCKING END THIS FUCKING SHIT?

[Stinky The Clown]

We citizens are fucking competing with big fucking money pro fucking gun sources for the fucking attention of enough fucking senators to get REAL FUCKING GUN CONTROL including fucking bans of the fucking guns these fucking gun users are fucking using freely to fucking kill us?

A father hid his kid in dumpster to protect him.

A father hands his toddler to a complete stranger to hold while he tends to his wife who was just shot next to him

An old man in a wheel chair is shot so badly his family is sprayed with his blood

Those are snippets from one incident on a day, week, month, year with multiple incidents.

Not only is the carnage continuing, it is continuing at an accelerating pace with increasing violence.

Thanks Supremes. Thanks Republican Motherfucking Senators. I wish each of you pain double what this country is experiencing. Fuck You All To Hell.

2. Exactly what you said... But with more fucks

[applegrove]

3. Shooters family called police because he threatened his family and had knives.

The police could not arrest him but took the knives. This was in 2019. I bet he got his guns after that.

[gldstwmn]

77. IL has a red flag law. Why wasn't this kid flagged when he threatened to kill everyone?

Was he a minor? These laws only work if people or LE actually petition the court for the restraining order. I haven't seen any stats on these laws but it sure doesn't seem like they are effective. It seems like all of the recent shootings have had a shooter who was known to LE for some sort of incident that should have precluded them from purchasing a weapon.

[Deuxcents]

4. I agree. I feel like screaming it, too

[SoCalDavidS]

5. I'm The Wrong Person To Answer

Personally, I don't think it will EVER change. At least not in my lifetime, and I'm 56 years old.

I already know at least 3 friends who are willing to entertain the idea of leaving America, and going to a country where they actually value human "non-fetus" life.

I expect that most SC rulings on major issues, will go in a Conservative direction, for at least a couple of decades. It may take that long before Democrats have a shot at the majority.

[MadameButterfly]

51. There's no place to go if we give up

The world depends on the US to be a democracy, we are holding back Putin and China.
And if this court is allowed a couple of decades to do it's thing, there won't be any democratic institutions left to allow anyone to vote us back into power.

i feel as hopeless as you do, but the solution has to be here and now and we have to find it.
The Republicans are playing hardball and we must too. No more of this moderate stuff. Lets start by taking back the SC.

[certainot]

99. solution's easy - americans have to stop ignoring RW radio -the only unique advantage RW has.

people giving up while ignoring rw radio is ridiculous

we let a few hundred lying asshole limbaugh wannabes blast the country from 1500 unchallenged radio stations all day and then complain that dems can't message or their reps don't try hard enough, it's all over......

NYT yesterday wrote about rw radio finally - https://www.nytimes.com/2022/07/05/business/media/conservative-radio-democrats-cheat.html (i think there's a paywall) and ari melber's fill in was going to talk about it yesterday but of course it got bumped by a chicago shooting update!

there is no fucking excuse for americans not to complain to these 87 universities and dozens of pro sports teams for supporting rw radio with sports. that includes Syracuse Uni (150 miles from buffalo) supporting 6 ex-limbaugh and 3 other RW stations making excuses for assault weapons and selling replacement theory!

there is no fucking excuse for media companies, political sci departments, and the dem party not to be using AI to digitize and monitor RW radio

meanwhile people give up and trolls stimulate more giving up

[MadameButterfly]

104. I have been mystified by what RW media gets away with

not only radio but Fox news and some other RW news networks. Why aren't they sued for slander? Why are they able to find advertisers?

It's really impossible for honest politicians to counter this when we aren't even having the same conversation.
Gullible people are being scammed, and the rest of the world is victim to it.

I wasn't aware of the angle of Pro Sports and Universities. We need to take the attitude we did when boycotting anything to do with Apartheid South Africa.

Is anyone doing this? How do we begin?

[certainot]

105. imo all it might take is a public discussion at one university to snowball. Syracuse might be starti

starting to get into that discussion but i'm not sure.

i called there a couple of times and it's summer school. first time i called someone was very interested and wanted me to email it. second time i called another office and that person said there was some diosscussion of it. problem is it might just end up referred to the athletics dept and they say we can't do anything.... etc.....

i know the university of colorado was getting low level complaining for years for broadcasting on the major Limbaugh station in denver. eventually the station, which had already switched a lot of time to the major denver sports teams, moved limbaugh to a smaller station. maybe they wanted to avoid a public discussion that would have gotten pro athletes involved.

getting local student groups involved might help, or the student debate societies etc

[MadameButterfly]

106. thanks for the link to FakeNewsMedia.org

It seems there's something we can do after all. i'll be passing this on to friends and family, and contacting colleges I have a relationship with to start.

The Right Wing Media lies must not be allowed to thrive unchallenged.

[certainot]

107. goodo! fakenewsRADIO.org all about the radio. their Achilles heel. look at indiana where abortion

dr is getting attacked, likely from those stations that were probably calling it a liberal hoax

Notre Dame 6, Purdue 4, Indiana 1

[MadameButterfly]

108. is there an organized effort

to do this? I'm not up to going very far on my own. But I think a group of committed people could do a lot. It seems the website is already going about it. Are they also contacting universities or organizing people to do so? What would it take to form such organization?

I'm not in a position to be the catalyst but would want to be involved.

[certainot]

109. no organization i know of. there are plenty of opportunities around the country or in any particular

state. the problem is making people aware. i call around sometimes. called syracuse U, 150 miles from the buffalo shooting, and they were shocked about all the racist NRA stations piggybacking them

there's a texas A&M college in uvalde and A&M supports a bunch of radio stations that always defend NRA and assault weapons.

pramila jayapal recently talked about the death threats and the uni of Washington supports 5.

in indiana where that doctor is getting harassed Notre Dame 6, Purdue 4, Indiana 1. although ND is pretty catholic maybe purdue might want t to show them up.

and so on.

the student orgs need to know their own schools are shooting them in the foot.

[MadameButterfly]

110. thanks for making me aware

i'll have to chew on this

[Evolve Dammit]

58. You have some forward thinking friends.

[birdographer]

79. My advice to any woman in her 20's

(or really any person in their 20's) is to get the hell out of Dodge. Leave this country now. Easier said than done, but make it a goal. This country is going to be horrible for a long time to come, until all the living republicans in government now are dead at least, if not beyond. Leaving won't save them from the climate crisis, which I think will be worse than what anyone expects, but at least they will have rights and not be in a dictatorship for as long as the planet is inhabitable. I'd say maybe the Netherlands, or possibly New Zealand. Just get out of America. This country is doomed. I'm so glad I will be long gone when it manages to totally destroy itself. I hate this country.

[rubbersole]

84. You have to be really rich to get into New Zealand.

[atreides1]

6. Nothing

There is nothing that will end this!

The truth is that SCOTUS and the Republicans would sacrifice their own families...

[TheRealNorth]

20. Nah

You see how they jumped to action when their Supreme Court justices were threatened. But, in general you are correct. Unless it's one of them or their families, or unless they can score some political points, they don't give a shit.

[Grokenstein]

37. "Unless it's one of them"

And there's the answer, staring us right in the face.

But can't draw the obvious conclusion out loud, lest we violate the "rules" of civility (and websites' financial responsibility).

102. But it doesn't mean a post can't be recommended!

42. Money. /nt

[Evolve Dammit]

59. I was just thinking about him. Damn near died, and can't come out against assault weapons.

[uponit7771]

91. Disagree... they would not sacrifice anything!! They're assholes and 100% stupid and don't

... have the consequences of their decisions visited upon them.

They would ... NOT ... sacrifice them or theirs like the rest of America has.

[FakeNoose]

8. A righteous rant - Bravo!

[randr]

9. You plaster in images of carnage on all media

Every legislator and judge needs to be shown each and every body until they puke. The graphic knowledge of what these weapons do needs to be engraved into their minds

12. I worry about the possibility of numbness as they are inured to the images of it.

Highland Park PD or the Sheriff have ever used it? They've been on the books for at least two years.

nothing ever will.

[Initech]

71. There's very few people I would wish death on.

But the sooner Alex Jones drops dead from a massive coronary the better. What he did to those victims is absolutely unforgivable and crossed multiple lines.

[gratuitous]

32. It's going to have to cost the bought-and-paid-for NRA politicians

When they start losing their campaigns for re-election, and their advisors tell them it's because of their laissez-faire attitude to regulating firearms, change might start taking shape.

As it is, there are millions of voters out there whose single issue is free and unfettered access to firearms. And they vote. Every election, every time. They vote out the gun grabbers. They vote out the reasonable centrists. If there's a choice between a blood-gargling psychopath and a squish, they'll vote for the psychopath every time. Look at the Republican primaries: NOBODY in any of those races gives the voters anything beyond full-throated endorsement of firearms and their miraculous ability redeem any situation, solve any problem.

When those guys start losing, something might change. Do we have our people's backs when it comes to firearm regulation? Our candidates don't think so: Listen to them talk firearms after something like this. They always - ALWAYS - have to make an obeisance to the NRA and its murderous policies, to be sure that the worst excesses of the proliferation of firearms continue. Our candidates aren't dummies. We have to prove to them that firearm regulation is not just good policy, but winning policy.

I don't want to hear mealy-mouthed nonsense about hunting rifles or whatever. But until Democrats talk a good game and deliver a better one for firearm regulation, they'll do that only when we back them to the hilt and deliver the message to the NRA that we aren't going to be held hostage by them anymore.

We're going to lose elections pursuing this goal. We're going to have Supreme Court decisions go against us. And we're going to have to slog on, impervious to defeat. As the forced birth people showed, nothing is permanently decided. We lose only when we give up, not when we lose an election.

[Initech]

39. The propaganda is the problem.

So many people I know are brainwashed by Fox News and AM radio because that's all they listen to. I think if we want to start changing minds we really need to up the propaganda game against them. Hell, even some of my friends who I once knew to be liberal have fallen under the spell of Fox's siren song and flipped to the side of batshit crazy and have never come back from it.

It's pretty simple - he controls the message controls the election. As long as conservative propaganda rules the airwaves, they will win every time. If we want to take back this country, we're going to need to do some serious cult deprogramming on a national level.

[MadameButterfly]

49. unfortunately losing an election might have permanent consequences

at this point. Republicans won't be giving up power once they have it. if Supreme Court rules state legislatures can control elections without court interference, pretty much Republicans will win.

Maybe in a few generations of misery the dictatorship would fall. I'd rather focus on what the hell we do about this impending court ruling, pack the court, put the crooks in jail, save our democracy now. It will be a hard enough slog to create majority rule even then.

With majority rule, we win, and the gun nuts lose.

[BigDemVoter]

33. It's not going to stop. I have resigned myself to the fact that this is going to last

forever. If Sandy Hook didn't stop this shit, NOTHIHNG will. And with the current squatters on the Supreme Court, it's about to get a hell of a lot worse. I hate to be so pessimistic, I really do. I can scarcely stand to even read the news anymore. Even a trip to DU depresses me now nowadays, and I used to come hear to feel hopeful.

I cannot even bear to get angry, because it just drains my energy for nothing. That doesn't mean that I won't stop contributing money and voting, but my hopes are so low now.

[dwayneb]

62. Not pessimistic - realistic

The time they are a changing, just not in the way that Bob Dylan imagined.

We have to suck it up and learn to deal with it. It's hard to predict where this will go after 2024, maybe it will take some level of civil war. But we have to do what is needed to protect our families and our children.

In a way we've been spoiled here in the USA. While the rest of the world is used to war and oppression, we've been living a fairy tale existence. In many ways that led to the apathy that has led to the situation we have today. We took our rights and freedoms for granted. And now, we are paying the price.

Human beings aren't the brightest animals on the planet. Just watch us repeat history again and again.

[Initech]

34. I feel like it's going to take a fucking war.

And if it's war they want, war they got! This shit has got to stop!

[dwayneb]

64. Easy to say but who has the militias and the guns?

The Left has meekly and passively knelt before every attack that the Fascists have launched against us. Obama was smart enough to know where this was going, he had the opportunity to take a hard line against the expansion of the Radical Right but he didn't. We all HOPED it was going to turn out ok. Reality is HOPE does not win wars. And we are at war, we have been for decades now.

I don't see the young people of this country rising up in arms once they go under the boot in 2024 or 2028. Unfortunately I see them meekly accepting their fate. I hope I'm wrong.

[Initech]

67. Well I had some hope when I was in Seattle last week.

There was a huge Roe V Wade protest with like thousands of people. I mean the march went for miles. I hope it's a sign that people won't be sitting on their asses when the election comes. We need to get our people out there.

But as I said the reason why the right wins is that they are good at messaging. He who controls the message controls the outcome of elections. Every time. If we want to beat them, we have got to up our propaganda game. Right now, Fox News, AM talk radio, Sinclair Broadcasting, and internet propaganda like Infowars have an iron grip on half the country. I love what Gavin Newsom is doing in Florida and Texas. I hope to see more of this!

[Lanius]

103. But that's what progressives and Millennials tend to do

They turn out in large numbers for protests but not to vote.

[Bear Creek]

36. Someone else

____ people have been killed and ____ people have been injured. [Correct, up to date numbers to be filled in at the time of sending.]

Great work! Keep it up, why don't you? After all, there are still millions of people in this country who have not been shot yet (or didn't die when they were). You don't want to quit while you're ahead, do you? 😊😊😊😊😊

Look at what happened in Missouri when protesters WALKED PAST A HOUSE ... the assholes came running out with guns drawn (woman had finger on the trigger while waving a handgun around).

Consequences? Minor inconvenience, conservative celebrity status as a Muppet / prop, and a fool hardy political campaign.

The worst part of all of this is the drain it places on our collective sense of empathy. We are shocked and rocked again and again and again and much like getting use to cold or hot water, he effect is numbing and desensitizing.

Its time to force America to SEE and LOOK UPON what we have allowed to come to pass. No more excuses, no more bullshit about "rights" or "self-protection". Last month 20 kids were killed at school while people too cowardly to call them cops sat in the hallway for over an hour. Yesterday a toddler lost BOTH PARENTS to an insane person with a gun and the ability to spray 70 shots at random into people in under a minute of firing.

This is fucking lunacy and if THIS is "America", I no longer want anything to do with it.
Let us start over and strive for better.

63. Republicans will do nothing to stop this carnage. Carnage is what they want.

After an attempted coup where the still acting POTUS wanted metal detectors removed so his brown-shirt goons could smuggle weapons into the capitol and 5 people were killed with scores injured, 121 Republican congressmen and 7 Republican senators STILL voted, in the rubble, against certifying the election for Biden. And now it's being revealed that many of these terrorists were active in the planning and execution of the coup, including a sitting SCOTUS judge's wife. It's no mystery where the GOP's head's are at.

We need to quit deluding ourselves that these scumbags are going to play by any rules whatsoever. Any Republican who's not a brainwashed MAGA Monster has either fled, has one foot out the door or is persona non grata in the GOP. And we also now have a full generation of minions who were raised on Fox and hate radio propaganda. With easy access to military grade weapons. Now codified by a thoroughly corrupted SCOTUS. Legally.

We'd better start using our "legal" options and forget what these fascists will think of it. Start with putting expansion of the SCOTUS "on the table" again.

Bloody mass murders every few days with children turned to orphans for no reason at all is unfortunate but not being able to buy actual weapons of war to play with is much, much, much worse!

God bless America!

And therein lies the problem.

They are superficial people with superficial concerns. They can't or won't think that their votes/non-votes could ever have impact on the situation in this country.

86. i heard about this little boy today on local chgo radio.

Highland Park victims Kevin and Irina McCarthy leave behind toddler who must 'navigate life as an orphan'
The toddler survived the massacre unharmed, but he is "left in the unthinkable position; to grow up without his parents," according to an online fundraiser.

The parents of the 2-year-old boy found in the chaotic aftermath of the Highland Park parade shooting were identified Tuesday as Kevin and Irina McCarthy.

The boy, Aiden, was unharmed in the massacre, according to a fundraiser verified by GoFundMe. He will be cared for by family members.

"Aiden is left in the unthinkable position; to grow up without his parents," the page says. "He will have a long road ahead to heal, find stability, and ultimately navigate life as an orphan. He is surrounded by a community of friends and extended family that will embrace him with love, and any means available to ensure he has everything he needs as he grows."

Irina McCarthy's father, Michael Levberg, told the Chicago Sun-Times that Kevin died protecting his son.

"He had Aiden under his body when he was shot," Levberg told the newspaper. Hours later, when Levberg picked up Aiden at the Highland Park police station, the little boy told him: "Mommy and Daddy are coming soon."

87. Main reason for not supporting gun control: they'll be voted out of office. Primaried by a nut.
