The Minneapolis Murders Accelerated Our Sense of Powerlessness

The shooting, which has so far left two children dead and 14 hospitalized, adds to the sense of terror that the Trump regime is spreading.

[artichokegrower]

We are so traumatized. I was paralyzed, unable to write about any larger issues, thinking about children seeing bullets coming through stained-glass windows. Where are the leaders of the Christian right, standing up against this abomination?

The Christian right is here. We will fight hard against allowing transgender individuals anywhere near school children.

[reasonisfaith]

The Minneapolis murders accelerate our willingness to fight against murderers, against the cabal who send them and against evil itself.

add to the sense of WTF IS JOAN WALSH SMOKING? DOES SHE TAKE DRUGS TO BE THIS STUPID OR DOES SHE COME BY IT NATURALLY?!?!

[BenLurkin]

The left has shoved its godlessness and perversion down American throats for decades.

It has got to stop.

[Waverunner]

I don't remember many TG holding Trump for president rallies.
I will remember the left and the media comparing Trump to Hitler, and downplaying the assassination attempts.
Also the withholding of manifestos relating to previous TG school shootings.
The killing of children for political reasons indicates the lack of a working soul.
Covering up these reasons indicates no conscience or empathy for fellow human beings.

PUT THE FCKING MENTALL ILL IN AN ASYLUM AND THEN LET”S SEE HOW MANY OF THESE SHOOTING HAPPEN. AND DEMOCRAPS ARE THE REASON THEY ARE ALL OUT WANDERING THE STREETS TERRORIZING PEOPLE...

[FatherofFive]

Just listened to the latest presser. The Chief of Police was asked if they spoke with the Mom. He said they are still trying. Asked if he spoke with the Dad, he said he didn't know.

What a waste of breath.

What a nut job.

[knarf]

make every aberration illegal and subject to prosecution.

[Ge0ffrey]

Powerlessness? The citizens of DC would disagree.

I assume the abomination the writer is referring to is men pretending to be women—right? /s

[sauropod]

Joan Walsh is the Abomination.

[sauropod]

A combination of both, I suspect.

[libstripper]

She is enough of a nut job that she didn’t even bother to mention the fact that the Catholic and other private schools requested additional security and that was left out of the state budget, even though the only thing that can stop a bad man with a gun is a good man with a gun. The good man wasn’t there because Walls wasn’t willing to pay for it.

[kiryandil]

Oh, that See-You-Next-Tuesday 304, Joan Walsh.

[kiryandil]

Joanie is a nutter.

[EnderWiggin1970]

The shooting... adds to the sense of terror that the Trump regime is spreading.

Gotta love the fascist left. They murder innocents aligned with their opposition, and then portray themselves as terrorized victims. All while calling for the disarmament of victimized populations so genocide can be pursued more easily, and mocking the victims and anyone else daring to pray. I pray their hate backfires on them spectacularly. Esther 5:14/7:9

“…the only thing that can stop a bad man with a gun is a good man with a gun. “

It’s hard to out think the Devil. But, in retrospect, waiting for government funding was a mistake.

[packrat35]

These people prove once again that they can take anything and blame President Trump and us for what they have wrought!

[NorthMountain]

I continue to be annoyed ... angered ... infuriated ... that leftists like Joan Walsh are perfectly willing to let armed guards protect banks and government buildings but NOT protect schools.

Our children are more valuable than cash and bureaucrats.

People like Joan Walsh are evil.
