So... no facial tattoos = glowie / false flag.

Facial tattoos = just ignore it.

Have I got that right?

Facial tattoos=mentally ill degenerate.

Unless you're Mike Tyson face tattoos are a clear sign that you should be removed from society.

Police issued a "clear and present danger" report, and yet he passed background checks. WTF?
The damn system is broken. Fix that before any more laws are proposed.

It gets worse when you realize that this ******** is the son of the guy that ran against the current mayor, so in those circles had to be somewhat known as a ********. Ergo, he probably got special treatment. Ergo, this happened becasue the system the left would like to expand failed yet again. Yet I'm sure the left thinks this can be prevented 'if we just pass stricter laws'.

"Shall not" is no polite legal suggestion. Fix what's in place.

Where's the photos of the bodies?


The dude was an obvious loser with daddy issues on anti-depressants. What's more to dwell on -- That fact the left wants to normalize mental illness and this is just part and parcel of living in a big city???

Wait a sec...

Are you implying that no one was killed at the parade on Monday?

Has anyone else noticed that they are referring to the gun that was used as a "high powered rifle, similar to the AR-15", and yet not actually calling it an assault rifle? Seems rather odd, given the overwhelming propensity of the media to label virtually everything as an assault rifle.

I still don't understand why they call ar15s "high power", has no one in the media seen a long action gun?

A criminal does what criminals in Chicago do on Independence day? I'd say it's about half as many killed as Memorial Day 2022, but somehow this one is more newsworthy?

Cue the Left saying "we need to do more about gun control"
Cue the Media talking about "assault rifles"
Cue the President telling us he banned assault rifles before and he's going to do it again
Cue NOBODY in Media, Left, or Government talking about mental health or how exactly zero laws PREVENT a crime from happening

If the shoe fits. A big public parade in an affluent area - no pictures on social media?! Yeah right.

I'm nearing a point of not being able to even...

In order for what you are postulating to be true, my friend and co-worker Paul, who was there with his wife and two daughters, and personally witnessed a body hit the ground, would have to be lying.

I guess you can claim that he's lying. Personally, I don't find that to be any more likely than that the various social media outlets who we all love to criticize for censoring things are doing what they do.

This is true. I did, literally, ask for this.

It's just frightening how effortlessly y'all slip into this mode...

Ok, now I'm confused.

What did I write which was not in good faith?
