They were brown. [View all]

The children of Robb Elementary School were brown and therefore not that important.

The police seem confused and have conflicting stories about the events. Snips show the police tackling parents and doing nothing for the children. Were they so terrified for their own safety that they let the children be slaughtered. If they were too terrified of a shooter with an AK15 that they stood outside the fence in safety as they listened to the shots as each child died...then the gun should be banned.

Fuck the NRA and the GOP.

Ruben Ruiz, a district police officer, lost his wife Eva Mireles (teacher) Ms. Toad May 2022 #90

One of the teachers killed was the wife of a cop. One cop lost his daughter. Are you aware of that? BlackSkimmer May 2022 #6

PLEASE READ MY POST. I do not think you are. You are fixated on color. MerryHolidays May 2022 #46

Rather than blaming someone, would you care to get over debating points? MerryHolidays May 2022 #54

Hopefully, you too will delete your laughing emoji. nt MerryHolidays May 2022 #76

Your laughing emojis in this saddest of times is disgusting. I would strongly suggest you remove. nt MerryHolidays May 2022 #55

Glad you removed it. Oh, so sorry: you didn't! MerryHolidays May 2022 #59

Um, no. Never was. Show me in the edits where I removed it from the post you replied to. (n/t) SMC22307 May 2022 #61

Different post. And that one's staying. (n/t) SMC22307 May 2022 #62

That's entirely on you to have laughing emojis about this. nt MerryHolidays May 2022 #68

"Distinguished DUers"? SMC22307 May 2022 #48

Wow...really profound. Your ad hominem and useless attack is duly disregarded. nt MerryHolidays May 2022 #50

Right-wingedness? nt MerryHolidays May 2022 #69
