No.

Republicans don’t care unless somebody is shooting at them!

Steve Scalise was shot and he still doesn't care.

left of his brain

That is what a hi-velocity bullet does to a human.

As Shannon Watts says:

We are not numb, we're traumatized.

Living under constant threat and fear, not knowing when or where the next attack will come. Is that not tyranny?

The American dream has been turned into a nightmare we are all stuck in.

Then he should have been asked why he's voting that way.

I don't need first hand accounts of the carnage. I want self-reflection from them. I want them to realize where the solution is to all of these shootings.

This jumps out at me and it PISSES ME OFF.

To be "recording", instead of helping in that situation seems cold and sick to me.

Thank you. I felt gut punched when I read that.

Were they recording for the thrill? Perhaps the money they can make from selling it. This wasn't like recording George Floyd's murder. They were held back by police and they were recording the violence...these people were taking pictures of dead babies, their mommies and dads.

from the very real horror of the situation by relegating it to a tiny screen.

I don't know. It's all I can come up with. I guess that's my coping mechanism.

Perhaps you are right, yet it doesn't seem right to me. I just don't know.

It makes me cry.

Spainhouer called 911 and got in vehicle, raced to site, got there before any other 1st responders. I believe police officer on site had already "neutralized" shooter.

This could have been so much worse had that officer not happened to be there, by chance, on another call.

Every incident is horrific. This one touched to very, very close to home. I've shopped there with my mom. Too many people I know shop there. I don't believe it will ever be the same. We truly are not safe to go anywhere, anytime of the day or night.

Isn't an individual obligated by law to help if possible or is that only if one is involved in the accident? I seem to recall from a long time ago (age isn't all that great for remembering details) that if you are part of a chain accident (could a mass shooting qualify) that you were not to leave the scene but to render aid if possible. I am probably delusional.

They want. Just in case THEY need to do a shooting some day.

absolute fucking cowards

They are convinced that if they are at the scene of a mass shooting they will be able to defend themselves and take out the shooter.

It does not occur to them that they might be the first or second one shot, caught by surprise without warning, before they even have time to see where the shots are coming from or who the shooter is.

I agree with posts that say that this is domestic terrorism and that's the reason why R legislators are happy to have guns available to anyone, any time, any where. When people feel terrified, they are more willing to accept authoritarian leadership.

It’s what they can use.

To function in our daily lives?

I call bullshit. This is not freedom, it's tyranny.

WTF, no one should be thinking like that anymore, this kind of shit can happen ANYWHERE to ANYONE

Heck of a job Rollerboi and your ratpuke cronies.

is heart breaking.

Here is a link that does not discuss the state of the victims when this first responder arrived
