AH, yes, this old Boomer tripe again.

So, you want to attribute all the Boomers going postal in the last four decades to growing up watching the Lone Ranger and Hopalong Cassidy shows? Those were violent and statistically just as likely to cause this (i.e., not at all).

As per usual— as we run up to a weekend in which the BLM— organized and financed by foreign and domestic financial donors and kicking back more than 20% to the demonrat part-— JoeBama sounds off about “these mass shootings” and immediately BLAMES the firearm, without regard to what actually happened, which we have yet to fully learn. This is how they roll— BLAME the gun- not the 19 year old with “social issues” or whatever— who shot co-workers in the parking lot AFTER he was fired. No- nothing about the firing (no company will talk openly ie. UNION lawsuits for this shop’s organized sorters/cartage people. JoeBama jumps right in because IT DISTRACTS from his punk@ss crackhead son’s firearm crimes— and of course, from the Ukraine, and the BORDER “czarina’s” incompetent absence— and obamaumao’s “stepping in to help”!

The mass shooting in Vegas by a “gambler” affiliated closely— his room directly below the two floors owned by the House of Saud, but then THAT is a “conspiracy theory”-— happened under Trump early on, but digress). Never is incorporated the HUMAN element in the decisions to do horrific mass acts (they sure didn’t do that with 9-11- cause that would involve the insanity of Islam as a religion at its core). Here a 19 year old is pissed off he was fired from a Fedex Ground (not same as Fedex Air unit management— it is the former Roadway Expresse trucking co.)— and shoots fellow workers on the shift leave. Why? in a full employment non covid Trump recovery environment, he could have gotten another job no prob— but NOT now stifled by JoeBama et cie.—just a thought. Revenge from firing—not the first time this has happened in US history, usually economic motivation.

For reference (and liberals hate this historical real life factual event being cited)-There is the historical fact of an attack on a school... in 1927; The Bath School Disaster. Take time to read the details about this lifelong crazed individual who loaded a school with explosives, and blew it up. How society dealt with the aftermath is a good reference to the morality of the day and the goodness and loving of people then in the midst of the Great Depression/Roaring 20’s.

Here are 14 cases of video games linked to mass murder.. Show me one from Hopalong or Lone Ranger?. It aint the 70 year olds that watched those shows killing people.

Don’t forget, the murder of both JFK and Bobby Kennedy were blamed on...comic books, “violent” TV cartoons, “violent” TV shows, “violent” pulp fiction, “violent” movies, instead of the Commie and Palestinian Immigrant who did the killings.

The 1950s and 1960s were very mild compared to today. Movies did not become extra violent until 1969 when the joke of a ratings system came into being.

Some scenes were then reshot to add more sex, blood and guts to their films to get the coveted “R” and “X” ratings.
