  1. WHY WE PAYING 4.80 AT THE PUMPS

  2. Urgent Alert !! More mass shooting will happen if DOJ Garland doesnt arrest top Trumpist!

    Given what we know now, the Supreme Court and DOJ are somewhat compromised by a few!

    No person is above the law Garland, do your job! Listen to former DOJ Eric Holder, you can and need to prosecute Trump.

    since January 6 2021 not one single Republican lawmaker has been held accountable for their insurrection actions. they will win re-election if not arrested and they will cause more chaos. Put an end to the Trumpist Republicans

    The world has greater peril from those who tolerate evil, like the DOJ, than from Trump and his fellow insurrectionist! DOJ Garland is ending democracy by not prosecuting Trumpist.

    Civil Contempt For Trump, But Trump Has Not Been Indicted
    1. the DOJ Garland wants to let Trump go
    2. DOJ Garland is afraid of what might happen to himself
    3. DOJ Garland is afraid to do his job and wants others to pursue Trump in Civil Court

    DOJ Garland
    promised to hold Trump insurrectionists accountable, but he has not done so for the insurrection leaders and he is not cooperating with all other justice departments.
    Garlands plan is to wait out the clock so he can say, oh we just couldn't get to it in time.www…

  3. Gun control would not have prevented this and the shooting in Buffalo, NY has the strictest gun laws in the nation yet it still happened has the shooter was able to buy an gun that was already banned in that state in the state of NY and pass a background test. The shooter in TX also passed a background test and had no history of mental illness and no criminal history. So he was able to buy a gun. Instead of blaming the NRA we need to make the local police department fully accountable for their failure. So please tell me how is this the NRA'S fault??????? Stop thinking we live in LALA land and live in safe clouds we do not.

  4. The Cops should ALL BE FIRED and especially the CHIEF should be fired a d replaced with someone else. Their Police are PROBABLY MADE UP of GOOD OLE BOYS who grew up together and like to Joke, Drink and Party with each other. FIRE EVERY ONE OF THEM AND REPLACE THEM.

    Also Maybe its time the TEACHER WHO LEFT THE DOOR OPEN be fired. A Shooter inside for OVER A HOUR while they do nothing is and should not be accepted. The Cops DID NOT DO THEIR JOBS.

    Along the same times How about HIRING SOME ARMED EX MILITARY who has had firearm training and give them the same pay and benefits as a teacher to be on site, patrol etc. How about some of you people start thinking and remembering COPS Cannot be everywhere all the time.

    Its not the legal Law Abiding Citizens Killing,. Its the Criminal Killing People. All the laws you pass is not going to STOP THE CRIMINAL or MENTALLY DERANGED so you bleeding heart leftists are also to blame.

    PUT MORE GUNS IN THE HANDS OF RESPONSIBLE PEOPLE. How about you Pickiting to PUT ALL PEOPLE who are disgnosed with a nemtal contition on a NO GUN LIST, Put ALL PEOPLE WHO HAS EVER HAD A DWI on a NO GUN LIST, Post a National LIST OF ANYONE WITH PTSD and or TAKING ANY PSY MEDICATION on a DO NOT HAV A GUN LIST and Stop trying to put a Dr. in jail for the SO CALLED RELEASE OF PERSONAL MEDICAL INFORMATION., and HOLD NON RESPONDING COPS RESPONSIBLE and FIRE THEM.

  5. What new gun laws will prevent people from being killed every week in Chicago, Philadelphia, New York, Los Angeles, Detroit and Baltimore? <SILENCE> 🤡

  6. Kids need to pressure thier parents on were thier vote is going

  7. Bless these beautiful kids !!!!

  8. School shootings only happen in America.

    27 school shootings so far this year is 5 each month with 2 extra and it's only May.

    You understand why the rest of world think Americans are Stupid like Trump !

    American parents protest at school meetings about? A: 27 school shootings this year. B: Masks.

  9. Stop Voting Republican!

  10. Adults too need to explain to their kids that it is vital to report right away when they see images on social media of fellow students talking about hate crimes or notice a student isolating themselves with dangerous thoughts or pics of students with guns. Can't keep quiet need to speak up, big changes all around, everyone here has a part in helping making a change for the better and to protect

  11. Being Born Black Ain't No Joke.🖤 = This I know for sure 😳 but if someone could explain to me what more gun laws is going to do to stop someone who cares less about any-O-law 🙄 demon possessed outlaw 😈🤠 ⁉️ – 😔 what is so sad is that your president can send military equipment to another country , but they can't put , as a good man said , one armed vehicle and two soldiers at every school in America for our kids 😔🤔 politicians ought to be ashamed of themselves and that is No Joke.🖤aka.The Kidd . =!? What is all this really about 🤔🖤

  12. I can’t wait till the next generation that actually wants change can vote this garbage out!! The boomer gen is in for a rude awakening when they realize all those quivers they wanted out in the world do not play by their rules!

  13. Too many dense and insecure right-wingers lay in the road of progress like dead cows.

  14. The cops sat there while then children were killed I'm gonna give up my guns an exchange for that kind of protection quit lying to the kids

  15. don't grow up to be democrats or you'll be supporting the 70 million kids already killed.

  16. The NRA isn't allowing guns into their convention during Trump's speech,so being a hypocrite must be part of their membership. They are protecting the orange sleaze but don't care about student safety or anyone else's.

  17. Maybe school registration in the United States should come with a funeral plot as it seems to be a prerequisite to attend school.

  18. This is what Mahatma Gandhi did with his followers in India to achieve the country's independence.

  19. Walkouts, rallies, and protests should be held every single school day.

  20. Everyone is next. As long as these semi automatic assult rifles are abundantly available, then mass shooting will inevitably continue to happen. I'm not even agruing against the 2nd amendment. I'm just saying that this is the price for that "freedom".

    There is no possible way to predict when some suicidal 18 year old will suddenly decide to get up from the couch and start shooting people with one of these things.

    But I guess we've decided as a country that it's a price we are willing to pay ?

  21. Stay gold kids! Please avoid becoming cynisized, jaded, or hateful. Its never been a better time to be yourself as a young person than now. Please accept and welcome each other, but most of all, respect one another.

  22. These people are idiots, they never read our Constitution.

  23. How much you wanna bet there's armed security at NBC News?

  24. Why should children go to school if when they need help from those who have a job to answer their pleas coward in fear

  25. Good!!! This needs to happen at every school across America EVERY day until the government passes gun laws to protect them! Don't give up! You can make a difference!!! Great job!!!

  26. Those are voters in 2024, kick those Republicans so far out of government that they have to join a tour group to go in the Capital.

  27. They should have better security if we can guard politicians and banks can't we protect our children. Taking guns away from legal gun owners is not the answer . They would be vulnerable to the evil that exists in the world a gun gives people a chance to defend themselves. But we should hold politicians and police accountable for letting this happen. The cops waited an hour to engage the shooter. The doors to the school were unlocked and they had no security! Also the moster that did this already shot his grandma and stole his grandfather's truck and crashed it then walked to the school with the same rifle he shot his grandma with yet the cops didn't stop him then either. We must protect ourselves and our children the government will not.

  28. Bless these children!! You CAN make a difference! Good on all of you!! You deserve better!

  29. Gun owners should be required to purchase personal injury and wrongful death liability insurance covering all their firearms and ammunition.

  30. The Right is radicalizing kids alright, they're creating an entire generation of lefties.

  31. If people want gun reform, They should vote Democrat, because the Republicans are going to make sure it's easier for you to die by a gun, than alcohol

  32. ask your school to lock doors and your police to stop being cowards.

  33. Wonder how many of these kids are on antidepressants

  34. Since Americans don't want to learn from their mistake we will wait for the next mass shooting to comment.

  35. America, the shining 🌟 beacon to the world 🌎!

  36. If students walk out: Lock the doors. And don't let them back in. Ever.

  37. Sadly answer is Yes, you are next.. so long voters keeping Republicans in their seats

  38. The only real way to secure our schools is to make them fenced and gated like prisons, that’s the answer nobody comes in or goes out without approval
