Ranjeev Puri, the majority leader within the Michigan House, issued a vulgar statement in the wake of the MSU shooting.

A prominent Democrat representative within the Michigan legislature attacked those who offered “thoughts and prayers” for those affected by the mass shooting at Michigan State University. Ranjeev Puri, the majority leader within the Michigan House, released an inflammatory statement Tuesday morning after a 43-year-old black man carried out a shooting on Michigan State University’s (MSU) campus, killing three students.
Puri began his statement by saying, “F**k your thoughts and prayers,” before echoing calls for gun control.
The Michigan rep. claimed that “going to school in America, whether its pre-school or college, means risking your life every day to the threat of a mass shooting.”
“Yet all we have offered up are empty solutions — traumatizing active shooter drills and bulletproof backpacks,” he added, failing to mention MSU’s campus was a gun-free zone.
The MSU shooter appears to be 43-year-old, Anthony McRae. MSU Police claimed McRae had no affiliation with the school and the shooter’s motive is unknown. “We can confirm that the 43-year-old suspect had no affiliation to the university. He was not a student, faculty, staff, current or previous,” MSU Police Deputy Chief Chris Rozman said in a Tuesday press conference.
“What we’re trying to understand is why this incident occurred. I know everybody wants to know what the motive is. We don’t have an answer right now. And that’s the honest truth,” Rozman added.
When confronted by police after an hours-long manhunt, McRae shot himself in the head, dying soon thereafter.
One political influencer, Robby Starbuck, claimed the suspected shooter was a convicted felon that illegally possessed the weapon used in the attack.
“Inconvenient reality for the gun control crowd: The MSU shooter was a convicted felon named Anthony McRae so it was illegal for him to have a gun at all. He did this with a handgun, not an AR-15. He was previously convicted for breaking a gun law. Criminals don’t follow gun laws,” Starbuck said in a tweet.
He is a sikh.
If this shooting is like the other ones in recent years, when investigators find out McRae’s motive, it will turn out that (1) he was a liberal Democrat, (2) he was an angry homosexual (remember when a “gay” person was supposed to be happy?), or (3) he was a convert to militant Islam. Stay tuned . . .
To use Ranjeev Puri’s vernacular, F**k your gun control laws.
Malcolm X might disagree with rifle and club grabbing. He was very clear on the 2nd amendment.
DemocRATs of all sorts routinely say such things.
Why can’t you people be psychopaths like us?
He was born in Michigan in the late 1980s, to Sikh Parents who immigrated to USA as adults. He identifies as Sikh. So grew up in a "woke" America. His entry into politics was working on Barack Obama's Presidential campaign as a "consultant."
America doesn't produce enough native socialists and statists, so we import them from the 3rd world. Its best for the deep-state in this new, post-modern world, if people have no connections whatsoever to traditional America or its history.
That’s unusual for a Sikh also, very unusual. I was interacted with many in British Columbia.
Do you still think Democrats are just honest to goodness wholesome Americans who have an honest disagreement about how to run the country?
Surprise! They don’t believe in God and have been satanic all along.
sweet sweet diversity! America is clearly strengthened by importing more and more non-Christian diversity. Do not question it.
He knows nothing will change. 2/3 of the state are mostly red neck hunters.
There is no reason to change any laws.
Michigan is open carry.
Never heard of the jerk.
Another non thinker from Michigan politics.
How about locking up the criminals and the crazy…
Black guy kills most likely white people with a handgun and not a peep that he’s black nah just gotta get rid of all guns
Waay more than “sort of”.
FU Ranjeev Puri. Go back to India.
He is not needed or wanted here. He is just another foreign grifter.
A Marxist Indian. Wonder how he feels about Indian thoughts and prayers?
