What an amazing coincidence!

 

 

Lots of people “struggle with mental health issues” and, when changing up their meds, may act out of character.  However, constructing bombs and driving to DC with intent to destroy a chunk of the city isn’t acting out of character.  That’s just his MAGA slip showing.

A Republican mad at Joe Biden because he can’t get access to healthcare 

The simulation is winning 

This is the genius of the GOP, and championed best by Rove. Getting poorly educated people to vote against their own best interests, and to be proud of it. 

This is why a majority or poor Republicans like the Affordable Care Act, but dislike Obamacare. When they are told it is the same thing, the get a blank look on their face, like a Tech fan trying to mentally calculate a tip at Red Lobster.

Imagine if an American official said the EXACT same thing, except about islamofascist terrorists attacking the US.  "I understand your anger directed at the Great Satan and its threat to the muslim world and the very fabric of Islam, but the way to stop the Great Satan is to vote for Islamofascist leadership who will overturn democracy and impose Shariah law.  I encourage all muslims to do exactly that more so than ever before."

I for one am saddened that Ray Roseberry was unable to Ashli Babbitt himself into MAGA martyrdom, this signifying that he is was the truest of TRUE PATRIOTS.

I feel especially bad for his would-be widow, who will not only be denied the opportunity to collect millions of dollars from GoFundMe accounts but also miss out on the chance to be feted at numerous GQP fundraisers while sitting at the head table with Kyle Rittenhouse's mom.  

[Horn Under a Bad Sign 20,839]

This young man "only" killed one person and severely wounded another before killing himself, but the video that accompanies this is so sad because its apparent that his mother knew that her son was in trouble and just didn't know what to do.

I see people on Twitter saying "he should have been locked up for the full 28 years"  when he was 15 years old.  But, if you're a judge, is that something that you want to do?  You're basically taking the best/prime years of a man's life away for a crime that was never committed. No easy answers.

People are mentally ill.  Having guns so readily available makes the mentally ill dangerous to others.  The only rational response when this is the case is to carry a gun yourself. And, unfortunately, with so many guns in the country, putting the cow back into the barn is impossible.

He was planning to murder children, taking away the best years of their lives. At that point, why is his future regarded at all? I’m sure the judge gets great sleep knowing his slap on the wrist led to murder victims.

Wasn't sure what thread to stick this in.  Whoever is counsel for Remington in this matter needs to get fucked.

 

 

 

Spoiler

“In mid-July, the defense served a subpoena on the Newton Public School District seeking: ‘Any and all educational records in your possession including but not limited to, application and admission paperwork, attendance records, transcripts, report cards, disciplinary records, correspondence and any and all other educational information and records pertaining to’ each of the five first-graders whose Estates are plaintiffs in this case,” according to the motion filed today that sought to protect the victims’ families from further subpoenas. “There is no conceivable way that these [records] will assist Remington in its defense, and the plaintiffs do not understand why Remington would invade the families’ privacy with such a request. Nonetheless, this personal and private information has been produced to Remington.”

In addition, Remington subpoenaed employment records of four teachers who were killed in the shooting, in which a total of 20 children and six adults died. Some of the parents of the Sandy Hook victims have been suing the weapons manufacturer since 2014, alleging that the gun manufacturer advertised its line of semi-automatic weapons to civilians. Remington previously responded to a discovery request for its internal company communications by producing more than 18,000 unsorted files containing memes, cartoons, and ice bucket challenge videos.

"We have no explanation for why Remington subpoenaed the Newtown Public School District to obtain the kindergarten and first grade academic, attendance and disciplinary records of these five school children,” Josh Koskoff, one of the lawyers representing the Sandy Hook parents, told Motherboard. “The records cannot possibly excuse Remington’s egregious marketing conduct, or be of any assistance in estimating the catastrophic damages in this case. The only relevant part of their attendance records is that they were at their desks on December 14, 2012.”

Remington’s lawyers did not immediately return Motherboard’s request for comment.

[WhatTheBuck 28,904]

Victim blaming. Typical. 

[Guest Lobo]

If I'm Sandy Hook administrators, I'd comply and give them the report cards and attendance records up until whatever grade they were in December of 2012.  Then I'd staple a blank copy of their report card and attendance record for every single victim for the last 9 years.  I think it would be very powerful for a judge and jury to see, on paper, the years stolen from small children.

Jane Smith 

2011-12:  Missed 5 days (family vacation and flu).  3 A's, 2 B's, 1 C

2012-13:  Missed 103 days (shooting death).  4 A's, 2 C's (first semester only)

2013-14:  Missed 186 days (shooting death).  No grades submitted. 

2014-15:  Missed 186 days (shooting death).  No grades submitted.

2015-16:  Missed 186 days (shooting death).  No grades submitted.

2016-17:  Missed 186 days (shooting death).  No grades submitted.

2017-18:  Missed 186 days (shooting death).  No grades submitted.

2019-20:  Missed 186 days (shooting death).  No grades submitted. 

2020-21:  Missed 186 days (shooting death).  No grades submitted.

Then do it for the rest of the kids.  Remington will obviously not like the gesture, but you could just shrug your shoulders and say, "We keep very thorough records of anyone under 18 in our district, especially when they haven't shown up to school in some time.  Whoops."
