#senseless gun violence

[socialjusticeinamerica]

2 parishioners brought guns to mass. A child was hit in the crossfire and remains in critical condition. More senseless gun violence from a failed third world red state.

*(taps mic)* hey is this thing on? My hometown just suffered from a mass-shooting event this evening. Dozens of people injured and/or killed. This is one of the worst mass shooting events in my town's history. In my state's history. Please keep Maine in your thoughts for the coming days.

#a bowling alley. a bar. a walmart distribution center. #all senseless acts of violence. #and for what? #what does he gain from this besides the sick satisfaction of cutting lives too short? #gun violence #mass shooting #maine

anyways if i ever get killed in a mass shooting throw my dead body onto the steps of the capitol and let it rot there

#i was in the mall and heard very loud distinct noises that sounded like a gunshot and the staff took us all into the backroom #i was with my cousin and i was very very very scared but we are both okay and it turns out it was just construction sounds #but i never imagined myself in such a position i fucking hate this country how many people have to die from senseless gun violence #until something changes #anyways #i'm very traumatized and very tired from shopping all day time to watch seinfeld and go to bed

Awakening To Tragedy ... Again

Courtesy of Dan Rather … Again. Morning headlines of mourning. A night of violence and loss. A dawn that brings no comfort. Our national map of tragedy has a new place in which we stick a pin of pain. We see once more what happens when instruments of mass death are untethered from any semblance of logical restrictions. As always, there are new names to learn of people who will never hear their…

School Day, Bloody School Day

I can’t believe the news today

I wish I could close my eyes and make it go away How long? How long must we sing this song? How long? How long? End this plight, we can stand as one to make things right Bullet holes adorn the classroom walls Children’s bodies strewn throughout the halls Here comes the pro guns’ battle call The NRA wants to keep our backs Keep our backs up against the wall School Day, Bloody School Day

School Day, Bloody School Day

School Day, Bloody School Day

How many lives must be undone So many early graves, but tell me, what’s been done? “Thoughts and prayers” from callous hearts Useless platitudes for families torn apart How long? How long must we sing this song? How long? How long?

End this plight, we can stand as one to make things right Is it true, are we immune Is fact now fiction and TV reality Enact reform, our nation’s millions cry Congress turns its back while more innocents die And how the story will be spun To justify the victory the NRA won On— School Day, Bloody School Day School Day, Bloody School Day School Day, Bloody School Day

Wipe the tears from your eyes

Yes, wipe your bloodshot eyes

Save your tears for the next

School Day, Bloody School Day

"nothing we can do" says the only country where this happens on a regular basis

#yeah we dunno #it's unfortunate #how does this continue happening? #there seems to be nothing we can do to stop people from senseless gun violence #this isn't original #i think i stole it from the onion #but like i was reading an article about yet another shooting #(we rang in the new year with guns apparently) #and like the whole thing was just #we're an open carry state #nuff said #mumbles

Life in the Upside Down

Life in the Upside Down

So how was your week? Did you know the fourth (and final?) season of Stranger Things dropped on Netflix? What about that sequel to Top Gun, the trashy, watchable and massively popular 1986 film starring Tom Cruise that I never quite liked (Note: Oh, who cares, Chair?!) but yet managed to be moved by (Spoiler Alert:  I can’t reveal that moment but it’s as cheap, effective and mind-numbingly…

there is something profoundly depressing about the russo-ukraine war. here are two dying countries (demographic pyramids for both look awful, both have TFR <= 1.5) just grinding their last together and. for what?

average age in both armies is over 30. (ukraine's is over 40). ukraine is not even thinking about conscripting people under the age of 25. the median age of the people russia did conscript was 35 (for reference: in ww2 the average age of the american solider was 22-24). this is an old man's war - neither can afford to send their young, they're too precious, and even then, there aren't many of them left.

ukraine has a gdp per capita of around 5k. russia of 12k. it's likely neither of their countries will see their economies grow substantially after this, if at all. both remain highly corrupt. ukraines infrastructure has been shattered.

we've had 2 years of war now. 2 years. 100000 people have died. in the last year the front has barely moved. the war is expected to last at least another year. russia sells wheat to north korea for artillery shells while we try to scrape together political support for the latest equipment of the 1990s to send to ukraine.

even if ukraine wins, so what? its best and brightest will leave as soon as they can, presumably the rest will be stuck doing reconstruction work and defending the now heavily militarized border in case of another invasion as the country slowly dies due to emmigration and fertility collapse.

even if russia wins, so what? its best and brightest will leave as soon as they can, presumably the rest will be stuck building occupation governments and selling natural resources to china while its country slowly dies due to economic sanction and alcoholism.

if the war ended tomorrow, maybe we'd all come to our senses about how senseless it was - two dying nations throwing the remnants of the former soviet army into battle with each other, an orgy of senseless violence, the final hurrah before slowly fading into an endless stream of pension payments and economic dependency, neither side given enough ability to do anything.

just old men dying, dying, dying, until the guns go silent.

#armchair geopolitics #no matter what happens this war will only have two losers #none of which can really do anything

Young Justice 1998 #1: watch our young heroes go on fun adventures! what goofy hijinks will they get up to?

YJ98 #15: watch a child soldier go on a murderous revenge mission after the only positive adult figure in her life, neigh surrogate mother, is murdered in a senseless act of gun violence at her own school, then have a complete mental breakdown as she finally crumble under the weight of the expectations heaved upon her since birth. her outfit slays tho
