At least 13 people were injured, five critically in two separate mass shootings at homeless encampments in Minneapolis, Minnesota on Monday. The first shooting took place at East Lake Street and Interstate 35W around 11am local time.

      Move past pointing out hypocrisy. They don’t care. We all know and on the scale of shit they’re guilty of; it seems petty. The institutions are not going to do shit.

      Consider what you will be doing about this.

        Pointing out hypocrisy is not usually for the benefit of the hypocrite, it’s for the benefit of everyone else.

        Just the opposite. Continue to point it out at every opportunity. They hate being called out. It doesn’t matter if they care about what they practice, they hate hearing it.

      If the US lowered flags to half mast after every mass shooting I’m pretty sure they would always be at half mast.

        That’s how it should be then. If it’s down literally every day, maybe people would begin to realize how frequent they are.

        Who am I kidding, they dgaf

      These were liberal left wing extremists that did this right? The blood thirsty left who want to kill everyone and regularly threaten people and groups with death, murder and mayhem?

      Or am I thinking of another political extremist group?

    Can I quote myself without sounding arrogant? Brian Killmeade called for homeless to be shot, then retracted.

    But he said it. The message has been delivered, and spread. Saying and apologizing is not the same as not saying it.

    Kilmeade should face charges. Not sure what charges. Not murder, but the equivalent of shouting ‘fire’ in a crowded theater.

    Can we go ahead and label fox news as a terrorist organization? They are inciting violence against americans and their viewers are acting on it.

    Clearly the administration will do something about these right wing lunatics…

    This happened Monday, and this is the first I’ve heard of it.

    But, today some cops were shot in PA, and it’s immediately all over the news. There’s a press conference going on now, and everyone is shocked and sad.
