That's the playbook, simply learning from DeSantis who won a landslide with shining his own star by bragging about such things.

Must have been a scary half-block.

Here's another good one. An 18 year old was shot in the face and killed, and a 19 year old is in critical condition after 2 groups agreed to meet up in a park to fight. Both sides were shooting at each other. Apparently the fight started on Facebook after someone responded to a photo of him and his girlfriend with a laughing emoji. Nothing that a good old gun fight in the park can solve.

I wish it mattered at all to anyone in that country, but it doesn't anymore.

They’re going to become so desensitized to gun violence, it will just become part of the evening weather report, like the UV index. “Cloudy with heavy AR-15 spray in the morning, thinning to partly cloudy with some scattered 9mm rounds by the afternoon, so have those umbrellas and vests on hand.”

It's Mourning in America

You have to think getting shot is pretty high up the list of causes of death in the US. Probably third these days behind heart attack and cancer?

Ted Cruz: "Heidi and I are praying for the families of the victims"

Congressman Keith Self (R) "Community owes “debt of gratitude” to first responders in Allen mall shooting, We will never know how many lives were saved by the swift actions of our first responders,”

I'm sure the family's of the 8 killed feel fortunate and grateful Mr Cruz , and you're right Mr Self, everyone is so happy there was a cop nearby, except the family's of the victims

Nine people killed versus 20 people saved. Sounds like a pretty good trade off. At least that is how they are probably looking at it.

Of course that's how they look at it because of the almighty second amendment

Of course the shooter had your every day protection weapon

Spoiler!

My girlfriend uses the same logic to buy things that are on sale. "Think of all of the money I saved us!"

"I never imagined in 100 years I would be thrust into the position of being the first first responder on the site to take care of people," he shared. "The first girl I walked up to was crouched down covering her head in the bushes, so I felt for a pulse, pulled her head to the side and she had no face."

Spainhouer said he also found a child, who survived while covered by his protective mother who had been killed.

My god, that is some horrifying s***. I can't imagine living in a country where this happens so regularly. What a terrible f'd up thing to have to go through.

####ing hell. This sent me quite a fright. Have family in Allen and we regularly go to that mall whenever we are in town.

How the #### is any of this acceptable. This is so so sad and so so ducking unnecessary.
