The perpetuation of rape and gun culture in this country needs to end.

So is this guy just a lousy cop, or is Jacob just that good of an undercover? Reminds me of the wire when Presbo shoots and kills that black cop.
Yikes.His daughter was killed yesterday
He need to take that damn shirt off, because his President gives no ****s about what just happened to his daughter. He's making it easier for more incidents like this to take place.

And I agree that other countries place similar pressure on youth. Hell just look at Asian nations.
My point is that those other developed countries don't have the unique set of problems and foul a** history that allow for disproportionate amounts of violence and immoral behavior like we do.
I'm not disagreeing with you.
I think what @combo gd was getting at was that removing societal pressure and stigma is just one way to go about alleviating the violence problem in the US. It may remove an element from the "chemistry" and disrupts the reaction that facilitates violence.

When people on Facebook try to compare guns to drugs and say “people still do drugs even though they are banned”.... so stupid.

theres not too much pressure theres too much privilege
every kid is raised told their special
when they get to an age and nobody acknowledges them they lash out
cuz no one can see and be grateful for what they have
this country is based on "doing better than the next person"

I'm not calling for "emasculating men." Both gun control and addressing toxic masculinity are very important to the epidemic of violence. The need for mental health and gun control is very well-known among the demographic on NT, and we need to start discussing this other important factor.
One of these is NOT emasculating men or doing away with genders. It's about redefining the ideals that make a man. Toxic masculinity =/= masculinity. The toxic aspect is defining a man with imposing dominance through rage, violence, and sexuality. Without redefining this to be compatible with modern society ie through our mass media (films, tv), you'll continue getting a highly disproportionate amount of violent acts committed by men, that can not be explained by biological wiring alone.

Yikes.
When you dwell and indulge in hateful negtive dark energy what???
You don't think it can trickle into your own personal life and ones you love?
Voting in a hateful bigot wasn't just a simple action......
Its a chain reaction within the whole universe.
Maybe he can humble himself now and realize he has more in common with Trayvon Martin's parents than he likes to imagine
Oh and the universe has plenty more humble pie to dish out folks....

I saw on tv just now his lawyer saying he’s very remorseful and distraught about it.

For that to happen this country would need to end first.
I am glad to see angry parents and students on tv asking why a messed up person like that kid was able to buy an assault rifle.

Something in this culture that has men and kids thinking that if they hate the world, hate society, hate their own lives that shooting up a school is not even a solution but something for them to display their anger.

Although I hate the Narrative of Trump when one of these Mass Shooting occurred, this is a pretty dumb and uneducated statement.
Before you want to sound cool (but dumb AF), you should research Mass Shootings. You'll see this happens during every presidency and according to some numbers they happened more during Obama's raing.
The point is, I gives to **** about who's in charge, however, one of these mofos need to hurry up and try to fix it.

The president doesn't have a magic wand. He signs the laws that Congress passes, and Congress is drowning in dark money. The NRA alone dropped tens of millions in GOP campaign coffers, and that is only one of the many small groups that have taken the political process hostage through campaign financing.
Wanna fix things? Vote for legislators that want to take big money out of politics or at least reduce its influence.

Impossible due to the Supreme Court decision on Citizens United.
Legislators these days are basically employees of Corporations including the NRA.
Edit.. Let me add the article that shows the wages current legislators have received from their employer.. the NRA.

It’d be kinda great if everyone just decided not to vote for any offices and all positions would be empty. Then we gotta start over.

trump blames the students
the students blame the guns
fbi blames regulations
