Imagine if a foreign group was committing these attacks on our citizens. We would be bombing their homelands.

Was there a nationwide manhunt complete with up-to-the-minute pics of all the times the shooter was seen anywhere? No? Weird.

rivernewstc.bsky.social•76 days ago

If the victims of that mass shooting had been insurance company executives we would have heard plenty 😎🌵🪴

Nothing’s going to be done about it Andrew.

There weren't any CEOs there. No story to be told

Unfortunately, without a commitment to amending the Constitution, such that all laws *create* more freedom than they limit; such that all laws *limit* more tyranny than they create, so will the tyrannical epidemic of gun violence remain. Peace.

lifelongtennisfan.bsky.social•76 days ago

I’m in Mobile and didn’t hear a damn thing about it

barleyblue.bsky.social•76 days ago

Let’s see the perp’s photos! We will find the shooter!

Had one of them been a billionaire it would be top story on cnn

We can't solve for mass shootings until we remove Republicans from office. They've been blocking action on this for decades.

debbell.bsky.social•76 days ago

You are spot on! The Republicans accept donations from the NRA ! They don’t care about kids getting killed by AR15’s and hand guns!

elpresidente39.bsky.social•76 days ago

They haven't since columbine.

lonelan.bsky.social•76 days ago

or remove (NRA) money from politics

elpresidente39.bsky.social•76 days ago

It would fix a problem, not THE problem, preventing this being solved.

samstribling1.bsky.social•76 days ago

This is what they want. For anybody to be able to shoot anyone, anywhere, anytime for anything or nothing at all.

thesharkpunch.bsky.social•76 days ago

With Trump coming into office I'm sure he'll address the issue by making it illegal to report gun deaths.

rickclark.bsky.social•76 days ago

The constant mass-killings has forced the public into a pressure cooker. The murder of UHC exec, is one gasket blowing. The public feels powerless next to the crush of gun lobby $$ and, like the insurance industry, I fear more rage will explode in this gilded age controlled by the indifferent rich.

meanmsmadigan.bsky.social•76 days ago

But the CEO was killed, that's way more important 😡😡😡🤬🤬🤬

stevetommo67.bsky.social•76 days ago

As a non American,it amazes me that people vote in,a party that does not want too change almost all of America too safe zones.
Its a shootout zone everywhere across America.Not just the general public.Police officers feel the need to put 40 bullets into a car,when 5 or 6 will do.

ziggeroonski.bsky.social•76 days ago

If it had been seven CEO's we would have heard about it, regular people have become disposable.

angiesuniverse.bsky.social•76 days ago

But the CEOs are prey... shouldn't we focus all of our energy on that?
PS, so-called Mayor Adams, is a tool.

thomasjchirico.bsky.social•76 days ago

This happens in Chicago a lot. I see it on my local news. The problem is nobody in DC cares because our politicians are bought & paid for by the gun lobbyists & the NRA.

mimimagoo.bsky.social•76 days ago

🤬🤬🤬 f$&@ing damn it.

abilynn.bsky.social•76 days ago

Nope we were busy on a CEO man hunt. Sorry kids you didn't qualify.

Florida has now seen 16 mass shootings this year, more than any other state in the nation and two more than the Sunshine State saw by this time last year according to the Gun Violence Archive. Florida jumped ahead of the rest last month when there were three mass shootings in three days.

I stay 40 minutes from Mobile and didn't know this.

artblather.bsky.social•75 days ago

I was wondering when the shooting would begin again ☹️

I live in Alabama, and I didn't hear anything about it! Note: I am a Blue Dot in a red state. 🔵💙🔵

leftyairlinepilot.bsky.social•76 days ago

Well you could go on @msnbc and say something but then some producer would chastise you in your ear piece and then Mika would apologize to UHC after the commercial break 🤷‍♂️

allanpgregory.bsky.social•76 days ago

Agreed. However, the time to do something was November 5th.

jrwebster.bsky.social•76 days ago

Remember - it is video games, mental health, outside door left open, substance abuse, anger management - it is never a gun problem 🙈

jacksprat39.bsky.social•76 days ago

wbrushing.bsky.social•76 days ago

But did you hear that a rich guy in Manhattan got shot?

exiledindixie.bsky.social•76 days ago

Alabama has 5 million residents. Someone is murdered in Alabama every 7 hours, for a rate of 14.9 per 100K.

NYC with 8.8 million has a rate of 5.5 per 100K. So I guess you could say murder in NYC is more of a rarity.

thejesuschrysler.bsky.social•76 days ago

We would have heard more if the adult
was the CEO of some insurance company.

exiledindixie.bsky.social•76 days ago

Or a pretty blonde woman.

But but but - Don't look at this. Remember Hunter Biden. 🤬

draznnl.bsky.social•76 days ago

Has the FBI offered a reward for an arrest in the case or was the shooter the adult it was killed?

jmd2025.bsky.social•76 days ago

Well the incoming admin doesn’t give a rats ass about the Constitution so their 2nd amendment can go too.

I live 20 miles from Mobile and I didn’t hear a thing!

northsleuth.bsky.social•76 days ago

If MSM didn't give Trump so much air time, they could report on real news. Yes Trump needs to be reported, but not every minute of every day.

happytobeme.bsky.social•76 days ago

Unless you're a super duper, disgustingly rich CEO, it doesn't matter . Our lives mean nothing to the rich.

Following because you are correct, heard nothing about it.

tbeachgirl1.bsky.social•76 days ago

Well now that A CEO got shot, after not carrying A bullet proof backpack. When it becomes open season on CEO’s now we will see gun reform. Only because they don’t give 2 shits about the rest of us

bearsdi.bsky.social•76 days ago

Absolutely I didn’t hear anything about it.

In the United States, a significant proportion of female homicide victims are killed by intimate partners. According to a 2021 report by the Bureau of Justice Statistics, approximately 34% of female murder and nonnegligent manslaughter victims were killed by an intimate partner

gailgailtk.bsky.social•76 days ago

I didn’t hear about it and I live in Alabama. But then, I haven’t watched the news since the election.

4justice8.bsky.social•76 days ago

Sad 😔

tonytrink.bsky.social•76 days ago

I know I didn't hear about it on MSM because they were super busy reporting on the shooting of one corporate CEO and their outrage at how internet culture is supporting the shooter. #Priorities of MSM are pretty clear.

majlh77.bsky.social•76 days ago

What are you going to do?

gaymcmillen.bsky.social•76 days ago

We're the victims people of color because that's going to tell you a lot about why there was no coverage for the mass shooting. Media is fixated with rich white folks being murdered but could care less if someone not rich and famous is murdered even in for mass shooting event.

bonniel55.bsky.social•76 days ago

No. Not once did i hear about it because corporate media is bought and paid for. It’s the owners club that decides what’s relevant. “It’s a big club and you ain’t in it”. G Carlin.
