After a gunman in west Texas killed five people and injured more than 20 in Midland and Odessa Saturday, White House hopeful and former Texas lawmaker Beto O’Rourke (D) said that, while the facts of the shooting have not been released by officials, “we do know this is f—ed up."
“Not sure how many gunmen. Not sure how many people have been shot. Don’t know how many people have been killed. The condition of those who have survived. Don’t know what the motivation is, do not yet know the firearms that were used or how they acquired them,” O’Rourke told a crowd of supporters during a campaign speech in Fairfax Station, Virginia.
“But we do know this is f-cked up. We do know that this has to stop in this country. There is no reason that we have to accept this as our fortune, as our future, as our fate,” he continued. (snip)
“This is not an act of God. This is not some natural disaster. This is a human-caused problem with a human solution, and, if you’re willing, we can be the humans who are going to do something about this,” O’Rourke said.

A lot. Basically entire cities. Beto signs everywhere I looked and was amazed when Cruz won. Texas will be California blue soon.
Beto is 47. He only acts 17.
Beto wants you to turn in your Firearms because some POS decides to murder people.
You tell him no.
Your move Beto.
I know I know! Anyone caught violating a gun law should go to jail for a long long long time! That way anyone who actually does something illegal with a firearm will pay for it!
These leftist politicians propagandize leftists and then the politicians complain the leftists kill people just like the leftists politicians wanted them to.
JoMa
Why is that shooting bring ignored? How’s it not fitting the narrative? Haven’t even seen it in the news to know what happened.
If you want your rights defended, you’d better be sending some money to the NRA-ILA despite the recent propaganda campaign against the NRA from the trolls of the left to conservative discussion forums. Don’t let them win so easily.
The NRA helped President Trump get into office with tens of millions of dollars. How do you want the 2020 election to go?
He’s a skateboarder, though. Right on
Want to decrease “white” “gun violence?” Round up the tweakers and club-druggies!
“We don’t know the reason...’
So simple a 67 yr old disabled veteran can say why ... “Because you and your congressional compadres stopped fundong the looney bins!” WGAF ‘why’!! Guns do not go off sitting on a shelf! You need a human hand to operate the trigger!!
According to DOJ crime statistics, guns are used by private citizens 2,000 or more times a day to thwart violent crimes.
But Beta believes that violent crime is a legitimate career path for his prospective constituents, and armed victims an OSHA violation.
Is he talking about the shooting or did Mommy and Daddy ground him and take away his allowance?
Meanwhile in Mobile Alabama.........crickets!
Dumbass even says it’s a human caused problem. DOH!
And that the contagion is a fad - or changes. (Just like real ones- the flu, polio, mumps, etc.)
Back in the sixties it was assassinations. Then plane hijackings. Then serial killers. Now it is mass shooters. I guess the assassinations and hijackings are not as much now due to better security perhaps - but I can't recall the last time I read about a serial killer.
Black-on-black shootings never stay in the news for long.
Why are lefturds so bent on using the f-word in public? That’s one of the easy ways to spot one. Whatever happened to “polite company”?
are you talking about the ongoing “Black Supremacists Movement”?
