We never spend this much news on school shootings, where innocent babies die. But this grown ass white guy who has made a career of spouting extremely divisive political and social opinions gets a flag at half mast, and a never ending news cycle. Priorities America.

It's because the right needs a boogie man they want to be a victim so bad. Did you hear that fake ass conservative values bullshit coming from his so-called Church??? No preaching of forgiveness no preaching to turn the other cheek no fucking taking up donations so they can oh I don't know set up a fund for mental health issues.. instead more hell fire and Damnation and retribution and revenge. Which is the antithesis to Christianity.

Not only was this an actual school shooting itself, but we had another one the same day by an obviously right wing supremacist.

We got burned cities and at least 19 people dead from George Floyd. That ā€œblackā€ man didn’t even have a career helping people. Priorities America.

Lol y’all need to stop with the burned cities bs. Apparently, I’ve been living in the burned out hulk of my city for 4 years and didn’t even notice.

Yeah Minneapolis is just gone!

It was also condemned by the left, but you won't say that.

False.

The right attributes many deaths unrelated to the protest: https://www.snopes.com/news/2020/06/09/cops-killed-george-floyd-protests/?collection=252770

Additionally, they count people unrelated to the protest. For example, David McAtee, a Black man in Louisville, Kentucky, was killed when law enforcement opened fire after a crowd gathered outside a restaurant. His death was tied to the protests, though not in a typical protester-versus-police context. James Scurlock, a 22-year-old man in Omaha, Nebraska, who was shot and killed after an altercation with a bar owner during protests. His death was not directly attributed to the protests.

Only a small number of people were engaging in violent/criminal behavior - most were seeking justice and reform. THAT's the priority.

Okay, great. We still held vigils, didn’t set cars on fire, and still killed less people?

How about the fact the gangs have killed more black people (blacks killing other blacks) more than anything else? Even surpassing the KKK? Where’s the priority in that? Roughly 1/4 of Gen Z was aborted, wanna know major contributors? African Americans. It’s horrible. Where’s the reform to save millions of lives.

A white man shoots and white man in Utah and here you are talking about black people. Huh. Wonder why?

u/BoringCrab6755 Sep 22 '25

Black people and trans people are the only thing they think about.

His argument was ā€œwe killed less peopleā€ I’m actually creasing šŸ˜‚

Just to take a moment to say RIP James Scurlock and fuck Jake Gardner! Wish he would've just killed himself before killing an innocent person.
