      It’s because it’s always poors shooting poors. Our nation’s owner class that makes the rules and orders around both parties doesn’t care about livestock infighting. They literally sow division between us with their media machines because it’s in their interests to keep us divided.

      They have their own country with its own schools and its own private clubs, they don’t care what the inmates of their capital farm do to each other.

        That’s the thing, it isn’t poors shooting poors. House rep Gabby Giffords was shot in the head at a constituent event. House rep Steve Scalise was shot at a Congressional baseball game.

          Lol they don’t have 30 million in net worth between them. Their whole net worth put together equates to one whole super yacht.

          You do know, with rare exceptions that don’t take the money, federal politicians are just the paid middle managers for the owner class, right? A big reason Americans get into politics to begin with is to get on the take and become lowball multi-millionaires for doing what the money tells. Them. Yay greed, our primary culture value.

          Also, having to go as far back as 2011 for examples when we have mass shootings constantly kind of makes my point.

            Their whole net worth put together equates to one whole super yacht.

            "They’re not rich, they’re only worth like $15 million dollars! "

            Perhaps not the strongest argument…

              There’s ‘I can buy anything I want money,’ and there’s ‘I can warp the culture with media, pay lobbyists to warp policy to my holding’s interests against the public’s, and buy politician’s allegiance’ money.

              And yeah, their 20 and 5 million respective net worths put them firmly in column A, and lets be honest, barely that these days to be considered rich. 5 million doesn’t buy much at all in places where actually rich people congregate, you aren’t even getting mid tier real estate in wealth class hives like Manhattan, Malibu, or San Francisco. It’s even on the high end of conceivable to have earned such sums rather than having been aquired through exploitation and or speculative investment aka gambling, although not in their cases.

      I was just thinking to myself “it’s been a while since the last one, probably another just around the corner.” Sorry, I jinxed it.

        There are shootings and deaths from them literally daily in the US. They just have to be “mass” shootings to make the news these days, normal old homicides are too common.
