No details yet, but since all of them have been it's not a big leap to assume it's more of the same.

True, and I’m reading it might be quite a few people killed. More thoughts and prayers coming the White Hiouse.

But no one looks at the big picture?
Sure looks like a society coming apart under extreme stress to me.
Class warfare? Vast numbers of people thrown under the bus in pursuit of corporate profits?
The social safety net cut to shreds in the name of tax cuts for billionaires?
Nah. Couldn't be any of that.
Thoughts and prayers!

He probably thought it would be a good place to kill Mexicans.

Speaking of thoughts and prayers (not to mention a little gratuitous grandstanding), here's 'Beto' O'Rourke;

Vacuous self serving drivel.

He and his family is from there. If he didn’t speak about it he would get criticized for not giving a fuck. Give the dude a break.

Great. Discussing the political ramifications of the shooter's race.
That just doesn't seem to be getting to the heart of the matter somehow.

I'm fine with him saying something.
It's WHAT HE SAID that's pathetic, not to mention self serving and typically devoid of substance.

If he shot up a fundraising dinner full of millionaires, would you like to bet the conversation about him control would change?
Shooting poor people is fine, though- especially if they're minorities.
