Just to clarify, these people were not shot by Oakland PD. I think the picture in the news story is very misleading. Not your fault, it’s all on channel 7.

I am at a loss for words.
The gun violence in the US is one reason I recommend the documentary "When Claude Got Shot'" to anyone who will listen. It shows the aftermath of gun violence and how it affects different people in different ways.

David Hogg is a survivor of the Parkland shooting. And he tweeted this today.
And there were some not to nice replies.
But I like this one. 😀

Have you ever seen pictures of those idiots armed to the teeth? Looks a lot like this cartoon…

Our country and the obsessive and weird love of guns is simply f***ed up. It disgusts me that nothing gets done EVER. And every damn single day it gets worse and worse and worse. More people die. More "thoughts and prayers". More handwringing and calls for action that don't actually do anything. More finger pointing. AND MORE PEOPLE DIE THE NEXT DAY. What the actual f***. Disgusted, heartbroken and sickened. Nothing will every change here if killing 20 children didn't make it happen. Our country's motto should just be "Live Free AND Die".

Gun culture and Trump supporters were the reasons we moved from the USA back to Tokyo. The US is an amazingly beautiful country and I miss it dearly. But I’d rather risk earthquakes and know that my son won’t get gunned down at school.

I wonder how many pages this thread of shooting will have after one year?

You know, if I wanted to be on Twitter and read tweets, I'd do that. I would like to see just your own thoughts on a matter, maybe a brief background, rather than having to wait for a bunch of tweets from twits and twats to load. Once in awhile I could see, but every single post?

Once in awhile I could see, but every single post? What would you like me to say? That this country sucks because if refuses to deal with the gun violence. That people are more interested in picking out a hot new nail polish color or what other people have for breakfast then facing the issues that plague this country? Then having honest discussions about them? That our democracy will go down the tubes because of the apathy of the people? But by golly as we slide down that tube our nails will look good. By the way, if the tweets are slow to load it’s because of the device you are using. You may want to upgrade it.

That aside, yes, I did like to hear your actual thoughts! Thank you for sharing rather than posting another tweet! I think there's room for both nail polish and depressing awful posts about horrific events, personally. But that's how I am. I have only one life here and I'm going to enjoy it. There is plenty of good in the world, even if some here don't want to see it. And honestly, thank you for sharing the other side of the coin, because I would never go looking for it myself but it is good to be aware. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

There is plenty of good in the world, even if some here don't want to see it. And honestly, thank you for sharing the other side of the coin, because I would never go looking for it myself but it is good to be aware. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I was being serious about the uploading of the tweets. It does have to do with the device you are using. I use an iPad and an iPhone. It started to take forever for my iPad to load the tweets. I had no problem with the iPhone which was newer then the iPad. Decided it was time for a newer version of the iPad. Since then no problem. The latest hottest nail polish gets more attention on this board then gun violence. People have this mistaken belief that if it hasn’t happened to them then it won’t so why spend anytime thinking about it or doing anything about it since it seems to only happen to the other guy. It’s their problem. The reality is we are all in this together which means we all have to do our part by being aware of what is happening in our country and then doing what we can to make sure we can continue to enjoy the one life we have and in the process give other people a life they can enjoy as well. By doing something it can be just as simple as showing up to make an informed vote at every election. But yet officials got all excited when just 70% of eligible voters voted in the 2020 election. The highest % in decades. The lack of awareness and voter turnout doesn’t look promising for us to continue to enjoy life. IMO. I offer my opinion in a lot of my posts. The tweets are me sharing what I think is interesting or just news. And I don’t always see the need to write a dissertation on a tweet.

This is why I don’t like guns.
First reports are a father shot and killed his three kids all were under the age of 15. There are two other deaths. One may be the father.

Domestic, supervised visit in church. Father shot 3 kids and counselor, himself. Mother had restraining order, no mention of her on scene.

The mind boggles at the lack of protection shown towards the victims. There had to have been a level of threat there for it to have been a supervised visit surely?

Well she did have a restraining order so there was some threat.
