  1. Ban Assault Weapons—YES, but since Republicans won't act, please try to secure obvious targets. If the parade route had been surveilled by police camera drones, this might have been prevented. POLICE FAIL

  2. I think a history…especially recent history…of suicide is more then adequate to keep you from owning guns.

  3. Okay, so he’s a Trumper. Now it makes sense. We can tie a lot of violence right back to Trump. Need to get to the source.

  4. Americans think they have the best democracy and freedom, you will be killing each other confused by your own laws, rubbish

  5. One again Facebook allowed another maniac to post on their site

  6. 🚫REPORTING CRIME IS A COSTLY CRIMINAL OFFENSE! 🚫
    REPORTING criminal activity to the police will land the callers in court with a criminal charge, and flat broke: (Maybe even jail)
    Callers reporting criminal activity will receive a ticket (Criminal Offense) and court date through the mail for falsely reporting crimes transferring the legal burden of proof and legal costs upon unsuspecting callers! (This is common practice among the police and it's dead wrong!)
    Oakland County Sheriff Deputy MATT MATCHETT #2366 and Wayne County DPD Gerald Beckem #3798 are obsessed with this dishonorable evil ploy of forcing innocent taxpayers to act as state prosecutors!
    REPORTING CRIME IS FAR TOO COSTLY FOR THE AVERAGE TAXPAYER!
    CAVEAT: (Police serve and protect the state, not the people!)
    QUALIFIED IMMUNITY MUST BE ABOLISHED FROM ALL POLICE FOR ACCOUNTABILITY!

  7. nice mass shooting to cover up JAN 6.

    shooter was a waldo trump supporter

  8. As a morally superior progressive genius liberal Democrat I say confiscate all law abiding citizens guns because I believe only evil criminals should have them…

  9. You're so stupid for blurring his face 🥴🥴 its PLASTERED EVERYWHERE. No one reported his YouTube until after the shooting.

  10. best call justification we just saw that school go up and what did that guy tell his cops don't go in but little kids are pleading for you to take come in they're killing people and it took another Force to come in and bump that law and help so you know what you're full of s*** cops

  11. they should have investigated it then when he took the compensated those nights with these type of young people doing these things they should investigate him even deeper you know what the police force can talk about all they wanted they always have some f**** excuse anybody knowing that kid they turned a blind eye okay you can look at that kid and see that he's trouble I thought cops and best look at things like that they pull people over you look suspicious you got a gun I smell marijuana and the kids oh yeah he's black never smoked a marijuana in his life but they pulled him over and gave him a hard time and you compensated nice on this kid and you had no reason to go in deeper with all these type of kids he's one of them looking at him that go out and do these type of mass killings come on now you guys are not qualified and let me tell you something nothing about you guys for you to see this going on over and over again and just for you to turn a blind eye you guys you ain't doing your job right that kid should have been deeply investigated

  12. Media trying to gaslight people into believing he was a conservative Trump supporter 😂😂

  13. Now everything this young lady said, was correct, but one can't watch these individuals 24/7, also, every seemingly nut, does not go to this far…..all are not killers, just strange…..

  14. News Flash – Trumpist making deadly threats and trying to intimidate witnesses!

    Trumpist gunmen will continue because Trump has never been punished for his crimes…..they see no Law and no Order. Arrest Trump and save our kids!

    Trump attacked his secret service agent. Secret Service Agents asked to testify UNDER oath!

    Trump vandalized the White House, destroyed White House property in fit of rage and stole secret documents.

    FBI seized John Eastman for criminal activity and now has his cell phone

    Ron Johnson lies about his seditious conspiracy efforts.

    Mo Brooks, Matt Gates,Scott Perry,Louis Gohmert, Andy Biggs,Paul Gosar, Marjorie Taylor Greene, John Eastman admits guilt….all by asking for pardons!

    Everyone knows, if you ask for or accept a pardon you are admitting guilt! A pardon is for a crime committed.

    Trump willfully mounted the insurrection and violate conspiracy statute 18 U.S.C. § 371 of the criminal code. Trump also stole secret documents from the White House.

    Attorney General Merrick Garland plans to arrest Trump and his leadership team!

    Steve Bannon Arrested, Guilty and Indicted! All appeals denied by courts and his trial starts in July 2022.

    Proud Boys Leader Henry “Enrique” Tarrio is arrested for seditious conspiracy
    Proud Boys – Pezzola arrested for seditious conspiracy
    Proud Boys – Ethan Nordean, of Seattle, arrested for seditious conspiracy
    Proud Boys – Joe Biggs, of the Daytona Beach area arrested for seditious conspiracy
    Proud Boys – Zachary Rehl, of Philadelphia arrested for seditious conspiracy

    Peter Navarrow Arrested, Guilty and Indicted! Trial date 11/17/2022

    Mark Meadows Guilty and Contempt

    Civil Contempt For Trump Is Pending
    Civil lawsuits For Trump Are Pending
    Jail Time For Trump Is Coming: he stole white house documents and gifts to America from foreign officials. oh and he is the insurrection leader
    Loudermilk is a Trumpist Insurgent. He lead Trumpists into the Capital and then denied it.

    Now you know what the future with Trumpism will continue to be like !! More mass shooting will happen if DOJ Garland doesnt arrest all top Trumpists.

    No person is above the law! 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 and mass shootings. Put an end to the evil Trumpist Republicans and support the good Republicans and good democrats.

    MAGA Trumpists are ramping up their war machine to lie about their insurrection! Dont believe the lies!
    .

    We need to support a federal law mandating prison time for each lie told by an elected official.

    More Very Disturbing Trends –

    1 Law enforcement has NO OBLIGATION TO HELP ANYONE…that is what their Union will fight for during investigations and trials.

    2 Law enforcement cant be prosecuted for Not doing their jobs

    3 Law enforcement can legally lie unless they are under oath at that moment

    4 The District Attorney will side with the cops almost always

    5 Law enforcement has qualified immunity, which makes it very difficult to prosecute them

    Texas Shooting Coverup …..over 18 armed evil trumpist c o p s had over 11,000 live rounds of ammo and they waited. and waited…..while people were being killed. it took the border patrol to take out the shooter…. how sad is that?

    nothing will happen to these evil trumpist people unless the locals keep up the pressure and the cops and politicians involved leave!

  15. Another yt man taken alive 🤦🏿‍♂️

  16. He was a wannabe rapper lol

    This tragedy was sooooo avoidable

  17. Wow big surprise another deranged Trump supporter

  18. Sue his family they knew he suffered from mental illness they let him keep all those guns and knives in the house Sue his family and Shame on america

  19. It doesn't matter how mentally ill this boy is — if he couldn't get ahold of assault weapons this could not happen.
    There is no reason that we cannot ban assault weapons. No reason. Assault weapons do not belong on our streets or in our communities. No justification other than the gun lobby that continues to push these weapons for profit. They are lethal.

No justification other than the gun lobby that continues to push these weapons for profit. They are lethal. We ban formula from the grocery shelves if found to have any bad health effects on children. We ban people from driving if they refuse to wear safety belts. We have laws to protect the community that restrict certain "freedoms." You can't yell "fire" in a crowded theater. The freedom to own these assault weapons is a threat to every single community. Our freedom is being destroyed by the gun lobby's "freedom" to sell their weapons. We don't sell nuclear bombs to street gangs, right? The government needs to draw the line.

  20. The republicans are deliberately stonewalling SENSIBLE gun legislation that would save thousands of lives because they want the so called "Law and Order" President back in office. It's called Münchausen Hero syndrome. It's a mental illness. Not only gun safety but the fact that the republicans gave huge tax breaks to the ultra rich. Those tax breaks cause an avalanche effect to the budgets of Health and Human services, Education and Food programs. They had to take the money from somewhere and who do you think it hurts… the elderly, the poor, mentally ill and millions of children. Even now those programs are working with under staffed, under paid, over worked personnel who can't keep up with their case loads and now that the supreme court has over turned Roe vs Wade it will only get worst! We all feel helpless but WE CAN do something to change it…VOTE! VOTE! VOTE!

  21. shooter just another trumper

  22. Where are the parents? Thats what i want to know

  23. FAKE News as usual. 👀 seek the truth at Gematria Effect News.

  24. Just think about it there’s so many potential shooters don’t give any clue

  25. Besides being beholden to the NRA and their cash, one other good reason the GOP doesn't care about mass shootings, is that every mass killing helps to distract from crimes that Republicans commit while being in office.

  26. Trump flag, typical Trump follower!!!!!! Q

  27. Wake up America this is today's republican party!

  28. This degenerate looks like he fell far from the tree, and somehow he managed to smack every single branch down that tree without missing a one…. Wow
