"When are we going to do something?" Kerr yelled, slamming his fists on the table. "I'm tired. I am so tired of getting up here and offering condolences to the devastated families that are out there. I am so tired of the, excuse, I am sorry, I am tired of the moments of silence. Enough!"
Kerr has long been outspoken against gun violence. His father was shot dead in a terrorist attack in Beirut in 1984, and he has spent much of his professional life calling for gun law reform.
On numerous occasions, including Tuesday, Kerr has pointed to H.R.8, a bill that would tighten background check rules for firearm transfers among private parties. That bill passed in the U.S. House of Representatives in early 2021, but it never got to the Senate floor.
"There's a reason why they won't vote on it," Kerr said. "To hold on to power."
“This is a real reckoning for much of America, especially white America,” said Kerr as he spoke to the crowd.
He joined dozens of Oakland Unified School district parents and students who are calling for the district to dismantle its internal police force.
“We’re really pushing for a community driven process where parents, teachers, students come to the table and design a collective safety plan,” said Jessica Black, from the Black Organizing Project.
Activists with the Black Organizing Project say the death of George Floyd and the national discussion over racial inequality underscores the moral argument they have been making for nearly a decade.

Right now they still appeal to 50% of America. So they don't care.
1. His Dad was ‘teaching’ in a country full of terrorists
2. His Dad was killed by terrorists
Don’t think he deserved to die that way—but MUSLIMS have been unstable for several hundred years.
IF you don’t know enough about your surroundings in another country——DON’T GO THERE.
The number one reason that sports professionals should STFU is they are not well educated and generally low-IQ. I never watched basketball and I have given up on all other major sports. It’s not that I dislike sports, it’s because the sports have been ruined. We can’t let the same clowns that ruined sports also ruin our country.
Hey white ass why don’t you step down from your cushy job and give it to a black who deserves!!! C’mon YOU POS!! C’mon I dare you!! Put your money and belief where your mouth is you bastard! C’mon POS freaking white trash put your money where your mouth is ....resign and give your job to a black!
White guilt.
Man that Lori Lightfoot is hot.
🤣 I was thinkin’ the same thing. But none of them will.
We all know China pretty much indirectly owns
the NBA. Wish someone would ask pajama boy Kerr what his thoughts are on the slave labor camps in China.
crickets I’m certain...
Incomprehensible article.
First, who is Kerr?
Next, what does his father’s death by terrorists have to do with gun control?
Finally, how do white people minding their own business fit into Kerr’s diatribe?
“Kerr has long been outspoken against gun violence. His father was shot dead in a terrorist attack...”
Here’s a Three-Word Policy That’s Been Effective in Stopping School Shootings

The border city of Uvalde, Texas is mourning. Salvador Ramos, 18, shot and killed 19 fourth-grade students and two teachers at Robb Elementary School. They were all in one classroom. It’s a heinous crime. It’s a Sandy Hook-like situation. Ramos shot his grandmother before this rampage. The grandmother is said to have survived.
We’re going to hear an earful about gun control, so-called assault weapons bans, and other anti-gun talking points from Democrats. And the result will always be the same—Americans will not torch their rights to appease a political class lusting for more power and control, especially after the COVID lockdown fiasco. NONE of the COVID protocols were effective. The lockdowns did next to nothing to reduce the mortality rate.
The one policy that has been effective is having police officers at schools.
School resource officers is not a new policy. Sandy Hook adopted it after Adam Lanza’s equally evil shooting in Newtown back in 2012. It’s backed by the National Rifle Association. It has a proven track record. For years, we’ve had stories of these brave officers stopping would-be school shooters. Does it stop all of them? No, some manage to pop off a few shots but the level of carnage is not catastrophic when SROs are present.

If Uighurs had guns they would probably shoot NBA coaches who support the ChiCom government who tortures and murders Uighurs and gets away with it because they don’t allow Uighurs to have guns.
The entire country isn’t as FUBAR as Oakland or Chicago. STFU if you don’t like the Constitution. It allows a lot of stupid people to be heard when I would rather they just STFU. So we are even. I won’t shoot you unless you really offend me. Lucky for you I have control of my emotions, so far.
