Time to Ban Helicopters and Airplanes.

If it saves just one Child, it’s worth it.

After all, we must do something. Thoughts and Prayers are not enough.

I wanna know when the liberals are gonna do something about gravity. They seem to have a bead on this globull warming thing but the gravity thing seems to elide them.

Maybe a tax?

I am surprised the libtards haven’t tried to ban death.

I suppose it would conflict with their abort every child possible campaign.

They need to pass a law banning the shifting of the poles. Which is the obvious cause of this tragedy. God needs to cut it out.

Awful. I wish parents wouldn’t put their kids on these puddle jumpers or take helicopter rides with them.

Satire and mockery in a time when children especially, and adult, are killed, is just dastardly. It is my hope that some of our Freepers will grow up.

Global warmed air caused the crash. Carbon tax would have prevented it. Time to sue the airplane and helicopter manufacturers involved. Capitalism caused the crash. Pilots were privileged white supremists, etc.....
add your own leftard memes to the list.
