    I know that questioning the moderating is a huge no-no, but I’m not sure why the school shooting thread merited a lock.

    Sometimes, you just have to trust us. Or don't, doesn't much matter either way.

    We tried to give it some time because it is a pretty big topic. But, as usual, it devolved quickly. Because a politics thread. We have one of those.

    Thanks for playing. Carry on.

    What a dimwit:

    House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) was quick to caution against “knee-jerk” policy decisions less than 24 hours after a mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School left 17 people dead.

    Ryan suggested waiting on “the facts” when asked Thursday morning whether the shooting should prompt a debate on gun control.

    “It’s just a horrific, horrific, horrible, horrible shooting. I mean, I think we need to pray,” he said during an interview with Indiana radio station WIBC. “Our hearts go out to these victims. I think as public policy makers, we don’t just knee-jerk before we even have all of the facts and the data.”

    Here are the facts, dimwit: Another group of people got shot full of holes by a fucktard with a military-grade weapon.

    Whut? Oh, OK. Let us pray ...

    Fair enough.

    Let’s peg the conversation to Vegas. Surely the Speaker agrees enough time has passed.

    Why do the Florida cops have to act like deranged idiots just because Baltimore cops did?

    This is what America wants. Well, white America, which is the only America that counts.
    Sorry, Dick. Juries acquitted the Baltimore officers in every trial. America wants a police state, as long as it's only the Other that's being policed.

    I saw the first line and thought for a second you were talking to me. I was like, whoa, now THAT is a little harsh (though maybe true).

    I need a few drinks.

    He doesn't want cops to act like deranged idiots?

    I wonder what the reaction would be if the 800,000 Dreamers went out tomorrow and bought themselves AR-15s?
