Mass shooting on campus in Oregon

I thought I solved the whole gun issue back at the end of August after that TV shooting.

 

Also, fuck Ben Carson.

 

Now I might have to vote for him.

 

Going for the internet tough guy vote, I see.

"Then Fox’s Brian Kilmeade asked if, like Obama, Carson would would still travel to visit victims’ families despite some residents protests of grandstanding, to which Carson replied all too casually:


"Probably not. I mean, I would probably have so many things on my agenda that I would go to the next one."


There goes that whole "Brain surgeons are smart" thing.

 

Hysterical. If he visits them, he's grandstanding. If he doesn't, he's ignoring them for the clock kid.

 

What I like is Carson's bland "the next one". No worries, there will be another school or theater shot up soon, if I miss this one I'll catch the make up visit with the grieving families.

 

Unfortunately, surgeons are worse than politicians in they think they are Gods. A least politicians know their place in the universe.

 

Well, surgeons at least have some useful accomplishments/skills to which they can point. Politicians, on the other hand ...

 

Not to be out-douchebagged by Carson, Bobby Jindal steps up to the plate and blames the shooter's dad. "He owes us an apology," he says.

Bobby Jindal blames Oregon shooter's father for tragedy

No missive for the mom that loaded up the kid, though...

 

Don't forget. He also blamed TV, movies and video games.

No word on backward Satanic lyrics on vinyl records, though.

 

Remember the Jovan Belcher muder-suicide in 2012?
Remember the outrage that followed Bob Costas' commentary on it? One would think he stabbed a puppy on live TV judging by the response. Apparently, he messed with a sacred cow.
If a gun is just a tool, as gun rights people often point out, what's so sacred about it?
