  1. Mass shooting is out of control in USA.

  2. The Huxtables are outa control.

  3. "Calmly surrenders" (with the smoking gun in his hand), yet pleads not guilty?…our justice system is a JOKE! Fire all Liberal DA's and Judges that reduce punishments, and bring back the DEATH penalty…it's the only way to become a civilized society again. So sad

  4. 86. should not learn to "censor like China is doing to its people".
    87. does not give up its authoritarian rule and holds free elections with the participation of all parties expressing all different political views.
    88. it's not a beautiful word to liberate the country, but they have mobilized patriotism that has "made the people proud and because of pride, many people ignore the issue of oppression"
    89. China's political model should not be imitated because of the problem of repression "the water will break the bank".
    90. not ban rich cadres and party members! the contingent of cadres and party members must comply with the provisions of the Law on Cadres and Civil servants; Law on Officials; Law on Anti-corruption… so as not to have regrets.
    91. not giving up the dictatorship, sharing power with the people and other political forces in society.
    92. not only suppresses dissenting elements but also suppresses and punishes party members.
    93. not giving up on getting "abnormally rich" related to "gifts" of millions of dollars… many cadres and party members present in luxury places, their children study abroad, and buy houses abroad with Mysterious sources of money.
    94. not controlling powers in agencies, organizations, units, assets, incomes of people with positions in order to contribute to preventing corruption.
    95. does not immediately end the doctrine of using violence to gain power, competing equally and freely with all parties.
    96. Many cadres and party members, especially those in positions of authority, have the right to degrade in moral, political and ideological qualities – associated with bureaucracy and corruption.
    97. there are no transparent decision-making and policy-making processes in the management and use of land, construction investment, equitization of state-owned enterprises, and management and use of capital and finance. state property'.
    98. not being transparent about the assets of cadres, party members, leaders and managers in the state apparatus.
    99. no end to cumbersome procedures increases the opportunity for “facilitation” fees to develop. Very cumbersome procedures are an opportunity for extortion and harassment.
    100% Freer, more democratic, stronger faster for all Vietnamese people. the wheel of history missed the race… tragically.
    101. without a multi-party, there is no control of the parties against each other. The Party's ability to "not make mistakes" of 'saying but not doing, refusing to do, not wanting to do and can't do' fights corruption.

  5. This was the best and most accurate coverage of this story

  6. Breaks my heart to hear this.💔

  7. Gun culture,….. Guns guns everywhere.☹️

  8. The 19 year old shooter planned on killing then staying alive by surrendering with free room & food and have a chance of coming out in some years. He accomplished his mission. I think they called each other the N word. Btw, prisons is so updated that they allow inmates to have tablets. Unbelievable.

  9. Moral of story : don't argue or curse other …

  10. Any time they gather, there is a shooting. Avoid them if possible, like Scott Adams says

  11. he disrespected him so what else could he do?

  12. not really surprising if you live in the area,teenagers in the south have been at war with the east end all year.

  13. I am sick of hearing in the news about more murders against AMERICANS. This is going to have to stop. The polititians are the ones that can change it. But as soon as they are elected they forget who elected them.

  14. Most people are mentally ill and don't even know it.

  15. Security personnel are very comfortable 😂

  16. People are supposed to learn as children that feeling angry doesn't justify violent actions, what's with our modern cultural amnesia about this fundamental legal and moral truth?
    I don't care if people "manage" their anger, but they MUST control their actions!!!!!

  17. …how does he get to plead not guilty, having given himself up for the shooting…a coward, who should have been summarily eliminated. America needs to figure out how to deter this.

  18. Sad very sad,2 lifes just endining like that,really got no words,may The Lord be with their family.

  19. Don't understand how ignorant this shooter is, he's injured so many people, killed two and runs I Ned so many lives, including his own. Total ignorance.

  20. Shooting someone for saying something that "you" didn't like is worse than shooting someone for not paying a debt. It just shows that society has a long way of becoming civilized.

  21. This is sickening. God bless all families involved. Keep voting blue. Cause the demon crats don't care about US CITIZENS. NO MATTER YOUR RACE. THEY WANT ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT/ OPENED BORDERS AT EVERYONE EXPENSE.

  22. You can't go any where that has crowds. Otherwise, you run the risk of getting killed. This happens so often that its the norm.

  23. This is seamless, never ending , there is no hope for anyone now a days 😢 Why guns are still in existence in these days on this planet …..☹️😞😣 there are truly no words

  24. Oh my God! Why Lord why?!!! Black people stop the madness!!!

  25. This mf better get the death penalty! Those kids spent 12+ years of their life in school just for a mf to ruin their happy ending..

  26. Probably gang related

  27. This is completely unacceptable 😤 My deepest prayers and condolences to all the families!!! 🤬🙏💔😥💔🙏🤬

  28. when your Republican governor encourages students to Bring their guns to graduation…

  29. Its not a mass shooting. The reporters even said so. Fslse title

  30. Just another weekend in Chicago… oh wait…😅

  31. Little tip for you normies…blacks do this kite frequently than whites

  32. You see, it's NOT the gun that kills, but the PERSON.
    (We KNOW this because you didn't MENTION what KIND of gun he brought.)
    It's a >>SICK<< PERSON with no soul, that KILLS for no reason.

    I HOPE you charge him with bringing a gun into a GUN FREE ZONE, otherwise those signs are USELESS.

    They are ANYWAY, since CRIMINALS DON'T FOLLOW THE LAW… But go ahead, we KNOW YOU WILL, use this as just ANOTHER EXCUSE to push for stronger gun laws that will ONLY be followed by those that went there WITHOUT ONE, the LAW ABIDING VICTIMS!!

  33. I’m surprised NBC even showed a picture of the shooter since it doesn’t fit the narrative.

  34. Tragedy beyond belief. Lock the shooter up and throw away the key. Condolences to the family. He had a whole life ahead of him. Sending prayers.

  35. USA society has lot of Pyscho. Each day USA witness new mass shooting but no-one points finger liar corrupt Democratic or Republic politicians who encourage such pyscho

  36. My condolences to the families put the guns down. God help us.
