The mass shootings are getting out of hand

[Walt Longmire]

Sure seems like it has become a lot more common with the dems running the show. Part of the plan?

It’s all coincidence I’m sure. Has nothing to do with the Communist plan to disarm our non criminal citizens 

Just because some people can become so indoctrinated they will strap on a bomb vest, walk into a crowded place, and detonate it doesn’t mean others can be indoctrinated to grab a gun and shoot up a crowd... does it?

But it is interesting that shooters seem less likely to blow their own brains out than was once the case. Maybe the current death penalty situation, where executions are few and far between and delayed for decades, has a bearing.

Insightful! Great post.

Coverage drives legislation

[crockett]

Being reported that over 4,500 people work there. With 3 shifts that should be 1,500 cell phones. 1,500 cameras. How many videos of the shooting AND dead bodies did you guys get to see yet?

Let me guess.

The way things have been manipulated by the left, and their left wing strongarm media and big tech, I don't buy ANYTHING anymore that comes out of that direction. Period.

In the past people would be uploading tons of videos on LifeLeak with an incident like that.

When you go on the home page, there is not one video of the claimed mass shooting, and when you search for FedEx, only one video pops up, which is conveniently that orchestrated police statement:

https://www.liveleak.com/browse?q=fedex&a=list&submit=Submit

Funny how 3 or 4 people recorded the Floyd incident with just 8 or 10 people standing around, but this mass shooting with a thousand workers plus around, and securety cams everywhere, didn't produce ONE video.

People need to wake the **** up before its too late. On both sides, and the middle!

It may be more prevalent for several reasons.

The entitled crowd may feel more entitled and willing to do something about it. They have been todl that the capitalists, whites, and business owners are evil for so long it may be taking root.

The lock downs have had an impact on peoples mentality, along with the constant barrage of gloom and doom.

Lost income, business, homes, lives, self worth and the feeling of hopelessness should not be taken lightly.

The Lame Stream Nooz Mafia is certainly playing by the Communist Cook Book.

Then, there is always this, and yes it holds water. Of course it may just envelop all the above.

Yea, there is always this one too. If we don't learn from history, we are doomed to repeat it. Unfortunately it looks like it may be our turn, and we are the last bastion of Liberty in the world, so it is a sad time.

Murders Rose 56 Percent in Major US Cities Amid Defunding Push

"Murders spiked in major American cities since the death of George Floyd amid a push to slash police funding, according to a new analysis.

The rise in homicides in 10 major cities last year coincided with police making fewer arrests and stops, the Law Enforcement Legal Defense Fund found.

In Chicago, for example, arrests and stops dropped by 53 percent while murders rose 65 percent, when comparing June 2019 through February 2020 and June 2020 through February 2021.

In Minneapolis during the same time period, arrests and stops decreased by 42 percent while murders increased 64 percent.

Chicago cut approximately $59 million from police in its 2021 budget, largely by axing vacant positions in the force. Minneapolis, which slashed $7.8 million from its police department in December 2020, approved an infusion of money a month prior and backed away from one proposal to decrease the number of police officers and another to entirely dismantle the department."

anyone who is surprised by this is too stupid to be allowed to vote.  And may Darwin catch up to them soon.

I'm preaching to the choir here.

But the population of the US has grown dramatically in the last 100 years.

We're bound to have evil, twisted, people.

They make choices.  None of them good.

We have never done much for mental health in this country.  But there's little you can do about the fact that good and evil are both present.

But good seldom makes the press.  But evil...oh, well if it bleeds, it leads, as they say in news.

Yes, but who is it that wants no voter ID and mail in voting.

I saw an article that stated that Fed Ex policy doesn't allow cell phones into the building.  Apparently, that was cited since it exacerbates the fears that family members of employees have, since they have to wait longer to find out if they are okay.

Bingo.  Exactly. The left requests a crisis and the complicit media provides it.

So that policy would make the perfect location for a setup with no hard evidence? Gotcha.

Not all workers are not allowed to bring cell phones. And many will not follow those polices, they just turn their phone silent, much like people keep texting while takeoff etc. Out of a 1,500 man shift you will have at least 100 plus still walking around with a cell phone. FedEx has security cams all over the place, inside and out. Still no video of the action AND dead bodies being visible.

Our society shows death and dying people everywhere, movies, games, police shooting suspects, but almost all those politically used mass shootings show... nada.

As long as we continue to ignore the 500 pound African elephant in the room this problem will continue. It is but small comfort that "woke" cities like Chicago and Minneapolis are reaping the fruits of the seeds they have sown, for we are all slouching toward the future they portend.

The media is corrupt.  It is now a wing of the government as far as i am concerned.  It's no longer interested in the truth.

I think the question that no one wants to ask is this, "What has happened to us...that makes these events more common?"

Well, to be fair, a lot has changes in the last 100 years.  Some of it good  Some of it bad.   

But a drop in standards is what's causing people to think and act wrongly.

Just look at our popular culture...and ask..is this who we want to be?  Because that...will drive our behavior.

Oh, I know.  Where do you start with the crap that is being foisted on people as normal behavior.  So much of it is abhorrent.  Blacks now toss the N word around as if it is prestigious to be able to use it in a sentence.  Children are being taught at a very young age that it is normal to choose any one of a number of sexual preferences that were unheard of in the mainstream fifty years ago.  And the misrepresentation of facts by the media in order to foster urban insurrections falls squarely in the category of dangerous and seditious behavior. 

And, WTF happened to MoTown?
