Social media reacts to the Buffalo shooting massacre

[World Champs]

Anger and outrage are resonating with many across the country in the wake of the mass shooting in Buffalo New York. In this segment, two social media creators share their feelings about the shooting, as well as race relations across the country.

 

[TheParser]

People have become numb to violence in this unique & strange nation.

President Biden did his best to arouse the nation, but it just seemed so pro forma and perfunctory.

Also, some people -- in private, not publicly -- wonder why the current Administration has been mum about violence in general in our large cities.

Violence is as American as apple ...

Someone walks into a supermarket and slaughters almost a dozen innocent shoppers. Someone uses his vehicle to mow down parade watchers. Someone beats the blank out of an Asian on the sidewalk or on the subway.

The problem is endemic because of this country's unique population profile.

There is no solution.


It is just something that one gets accustomed to.

The politicians just wring their hands -- until the next incident.

It the ridiculous gun rights, people are people.
We have a violent society as a result of the abundance of guns. Its that simple.

That, prone to cuss a lot, idiot is making the false claim that (an unnamed) “they” are trying to ‘justify’ the Buffalo mass shooting (yet never even said how). He then went into his normal police are (all) racists rant. I should have stopped watching your linked video at that point. If the video was the least bit honest then some member of this (unnamed) they should be presented to ‘justify’ the shooting.

The second guy was ‘outraged’ that some (again unnamed) black folks were upset that ‘normal’ (black on black) homicides did not get much media coverage. He tried to spin that as being some objection to covering this horrific race based crime.

Eric barely graduated high school. That's why he talks like that.

Unfortunately once again GOP head to your corner with your absolutely nonsense a about guns are not the problem its the people.

Democrats head to your corner with your weakness and inability to connect with any idea with the American people on a personal level.

Independents just throw up a white towel. This is just normal part of American life as equal to Apple Pie.

What a sick sad world.

Following the massacre in Buffalo over the weekend by a teenager we are hearing the same load of crap from politicians that we heard following Columbine, Sandy Hook, San Bernardino, Orlando, Las Vegas, Sutherland Springs, Parkland, El Paso, N.Y. City subway, and countless others.

And nothing got done. Nothing will get done following the Buffalo massacre.

There will be another mass shooting before the month is over. Indeed, there were at least five other mass shootings since Friday coinciding with the Buffalo massacre.

That was written eight days ago. No, I can't see the future. We all knew this was going to happen.

The AP reports, "An 18-year-old gunman opened fire Tuesday at a Texas elementary school, killing 14 children, one teacher and injuring others, [Republican] Gov. Greg Abbott said, and the gunman was dead.

"It was the deadliest shooting at a U.S. grade school since the shocking attack at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Connecticut, almost a decade ago.

"The gunman entered Robb Elementary School in Uvalde with a handgun and possibly a rifle, Abbott said. Officials have not revealed a motive for the shooting, but Abbott identified him as Salvador Ramos and said he was a resident of the community that’s about 85 miles (135 kilometers) west of San Antonio."

Republican controlled Texas passed an open carry law in 2021. "A new pro-gun law in Texas that went into effect [in September 2021] allows most Texans to legally own a firearm and carry it openly in public without obtaining a permit, training, or background check," CNN.

Once again, nothing will change. The Republican Party will once again prevent life saving laws to be passed. Here is why.

The National Rifle Association (NRA) is a 501(c)(4) organization it says of itself, It is widely recognized today as a major political force and as America's foremost defender of Second Amendment rights.In 2013. The NRA contributes heavily to the Republican Party, and the GOP has for decades stymied gun control measures in Congress.

At the same time Republican states are passing laws that enable government control of pregnancies, and many wonder what freedoms will be next.

There is tragic irony in that the Republican Party is passionate about protecting the life of the unborn but has no interest in protecting the lives of the born, children and adults alike. Their decades long struggle to permit dangerous people like Salvador Ramos and Payton S. Gendron to own guns prove that point.

It is safe to say the Republican Party is fast becoming dangerous as they also are attacking the integrity of America's free elections, the very foundation of our democracy.

The Republican Party expects to win control of Congress in November.

The forum's Republicans will not respond to the issues contained in this report.

This is just normal part of American life as equal to Apple Pie.

It doesn't have to be, but a major political party is preventing something being done. It's the one that expects win control of Congress in November.

Go figure. That makes no sense.

Even if the dems was to hold on to the house and Senate they still wouldn't pass anything that would make a difference. This is deep rooted in the American mindset at this point.

Their decades long struggle to permit dangerous people like Salvador Ramos and Payton S. Gendron to own guns prove that point.

As expected, the forum's Republicans did not respond to the issues of the above report.

The pious Republican Governor Abbott who was nearly sobbing as he talked about the massacre of children signed a new pro-gun law that went into effect [in September 2021]. It allows most Texans to legally own a firearm and carry it openly in public without obtaining a permit, training, or background check, Abbott lowered the age to legally buy an assault-style rifle to 18.

Which is exactly what Salvador Ramos did. The citizens of Uvalde, Texas, thank you Governor Abbott.

ABC reports, "Salvador Ramos, the suspect in the Robb Elementary School shooting, after turning 18 on May 16, purchased two rifles and carried out the second-worst school shooting in U.S. history.

"The suspect purchased two AR-15-style rifles on May 22, two days before the massacre and six days after his birthday, multiple law enforcement officials told ABC News. They were legal purchases."

Every state in the union controlled by the Republican Party has permit-less carry laws.https://www.handgunlaw.us/documents/Permitless_Carry_States.pdf

The absence of a permit means no background check of the buyer, a buyer like Ramos.

In the Buffalo massacre a mere eleven days ago the shooter, a believer in the Republican conspiracy called the Replacement Theory, gunned down ten black people.

A new Yahoo News/YouGov poll shows that more than 6 in 10 Donald Trump voters (61%) agree that “a group of people in this country are trying to replace native-born Americans with immigrants and people of color who share their political views” — a core tenet of the false conspiracy theory known as the “great replacement.”

The Republican Party has provided the license and the means to allow deranged people like Salvador Ramos and Payton Gendron to kill Americans as is the case of Uvalde and Buffalo.

Republican Senators remain silent and will not allow the needed legislation to become law. The NRA contributes heavily to the Republican Party, and the GOP has for decades stymied gun control measures in Congress.

The really sad part is this. Within a few days the furor will die down, something Republicans are counting on, and not a damn thing will get done. Within days there will be another massacre.

And another. And another.
