There have been at least 50 school shootings in the United States so far this year, as of September 19. Thirteen were on college campuses, and 37 were on K-12 school grounds. The incidents left 24 people dead and at least 66 other victims injured, according to CNN’s analysis of events reported by the Gun Violence Archive, Education Week and Everytown for Gun Safety.

I believe the kids say "based".

[–] JimmyBigSausage@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

What does that mean? Old person here.

The opposite of cringe, some times the opposite of biased.

Or only allow abortions to be post-natal and via firearm?

Damn. That was too dark. I'm gonna go hug my dog now.

[–] Slovene@feddit.nl 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

They're going to scapegoat people with mental illness and start taking their rights away more and more. Then they'll start using that to target people they don't like. Take certain prescriptions? Now you're on the "dangerous person's list" now "dangerous people" can't hold certain jobs or public office. Been put on a "mental health" hold by the police ever? Same thing. Then the police can just use their "discretion" to put anyone they don't like on a mental health hold. LGBT? That means you're "mentally unhealthy" don't believe in God? Believe it or not "mental health problems" not Republican? Only a psycho believes in dirty socialism. Brown skin? (Insert racist stuff about inferior brain power) Now, of course we can't allow the "mentally unhealthy people" to procreate! So we'll have to sterilize them. Of course they can't be trusted, so we'll need to supervise them at all times! Work is good for mental health so we can give them "jobs" at the "mental health" camps!

Going to? The US has been doing that since the day it gained its independence.

A bit like the green card lottery, school shootings are a lottery for "post natal abortions"©

Fun part: every parent gets to play.

I like how America's culture comes up to putting angry messages on cars.

[–] Flocklesscrow@lemm.ee 7 points 1 month ago

We're forced to have cars because we've been denied effective public transportation, even in metropolitan areas.

Only 50? IIRC that's a marked improvement from recent previous years.

[–] daellat@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Perhaps people conflate mass shootings with school shootings

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Recent years have been wildly exaggerated. This is a frighteningly real number.

What if I want to actively participate?

[–] dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Go for kindergarten, surely they’re easier targets.

[–] Breezy@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Idk i think a gaggle of abortioners at a clinic would be even easier targets. Plus most of them are gonna be worth 2 points.

[–] dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 month ago (3 children)

True. You could hit a killtacular in no time.

Many people in the comments trying to downplay the amount, america is truly fucked

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

they don't care about kids. they don't care about life. they care about controlling women. I first heard George Carlin say "pro-life is just anti-woman" when i was a kid, and didn't really understand very well. but now it's so clear.

Wait until they hear about the dozens of schools bombed in palestine as part of usa sponsored genocide.

Violence is deeply instilled and normalized in the history, culture and especially the state of our genocidal society.

Anybody else misread that exclamation point as excited at first? A little horrifying, NGL.
