So MoscowMitch and Rand Paul

[malaise]

one of the cops shot his morning is in critical conditions - tell me about your party of law and order you fucking enablers of mass murder!

That is all

[dchill]

1. I'm sure they'll get right back to you.

[gratuitous]

7. Right after their fervent prayers and best thoughts

So much easier than doing anything.

[Omnipresent]

9. The only way they might do something...

Is if the NRA’s checks didn’t clear.

[malaise]

2. he 26 year old cop was sworn in on March 31

He was shot in the head. Two other people are in critical condition

[PJMcK]

3. Guns in America

It's relentless.

It's heartbreaking.

It's every day.

It's everywhere.

It's unstoppable.

It's insanity.

It's the fucking Republicans and their NRA.

It's their fault.

[Grokenstein]

13. And it's always too soon or too late to talk about solutions.

Except for their go-to solution: MOAR GUNZ, BUY MOAR GUNZ

[spanone]

4. Their donors are the NRA and other enablers of mass murder....they will do nothing.

[malaise]

5. he governor really needs to call for a ban on assault rifles

and stop the thoughts and prayers

[Bayard]

12. If he did that,

He could kiss re-election goodbye next year. We NEED him!

The best he can do here:
"Beshear said during a debate at Northern Kentucky University he would not support an assault rifle ban, but he would support a "red flag" law, which authorizes courts to allow police to temporarily confiscate firearms from people deemed by a judge to be a danger to themselves or others. "

6. They don't care

Nobody they know got shot. A friend of the governor's did, but the governor's a Democrat, so they don't care. They'll just go on stuffing blood money into their bank accounts.

[Paladin]

14. Exactly. They're Republicans, so they don't give a fuck. (nt)

[republianmushroom]

8. like it

[Wounded Bear]

10. Obviously, you have them confused with people who give a shit...nt

[Lovie777]

11. Yep..............

[halfulglas]

15. Just collateral damage. Their base will get over it, that's what counts to them.

[NoMoreRepugs]

16. Guns and the bible are the only things they have to hold onto as 'theirs' - the goobers WILL NEVER

let go of them. Health care, the environment, advancemet of the society, etc. - that's so far over their heads it's incomprehensible - guns and da bible they understand.

[ShazzieB]

17. Mitch and Rand will be calling for thoughts and prayers any minute now!

[TheBlackAdder]

18. Their jobs are to make sure KY is perpetually dependent on them bringing home the socialist bacon.

.

That's the way they get re-elected. Keep KY needy on others.

If Kentuckians pulled themselves up by their bootstraps and became independent, they might not need them.

They would rather screw a million state citizens just to keep their two jobs. Plain and simple.

.

[LymphocyteLover]

19. If cops would actually speak out in huge protest to these guns, things might change

Right now their response is too subdued, partly because they are too in bed with the GOP in general

[kacekwl]

21. Exactly, until the police get

onboard to control the same guns that are killing them and indeed everyone they will suffer the same fate as the young officer did today.

[malaise]

23. Coaches have influence as well

20. And the sad part that I just saw

Kentucky Gov. Beshear says he lost two 'close' friends in Louisville shooting

April 10, 2023, 12:59 PM EDT
By Summer Concepcion

Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear held back tears as he told reporters that two of the dead and one of the wounded in a shooting in downtown Louisville on Monday are his “close” friends.

A gunman opened fire at the Old National Bank in Louisville on Monday morning, leaving at least four dead and eight others wounded, authorities said. The shooter, described as a current or former employee of the bank, also wounded two responding police officers, one critically, officials said. The gunman was killed not long after the shooting unfolded, Louisville Metro Police Department Deputy Chief Paul Humphrey said.

“This is awful,” Beshear said during a press conference after the shooting. “I have a very close friend that didn’t make it tonight. And I have another close friend who did not either, and one who’s at the hospital but I hope is going to make it through.”

22. Don't forget the Third Kentucky Musketeer

(no awful pun intended): James Comer. Just as slimy or more than the other two.

[malaise]

24. Yes

He’s full of it

[wryter2000]

25. I'm sure the officer

has their thoughts and prayers.
