The media needs to stop printing the names of these punk murderers!
In fact, I think that maybe the congress should pass a law
too the effect of minors names never being released.
Then maybe the copycat murders will stop.
They haven't here yet, but they certainly will soon enough.

Why do you ask? The last shooting was in Colorado and the Mall shooting was Omaha. The biggest problem in Vegas is illegal immigrant gangs - MS-13.

Two of the six victims in critical condition, and two suspects being sought. This according to the TV news just now.

This is the 4th major shooting within the last week. Very disturbing trend.
To: Popman
Well, yes, this is all about the success of gun-control and also the effectiveness of using tax dollars to research the root causes of violence. Yes, these children were hurt, but you just have to look ahead to that great and glorious day when we understand the root causes of violence and can bring to an end dreadful incidents like this one.
How'd I do? Was I persuasive? I just about threw up writing that crap ....
