"Protect" the Children

Post by Kishkumen »

There is nothing more obscene than obsessing about fake threats to children (critical race theory, critical race theory!!!) while guns splatter their blood on the walls of American schools.

We must protect the children from men dressed up in women's clothes reading stories. That's the real threat!

Flying bullets? Meh, that's life. What can you do?
Religion is for people whose existential fear is greater than their common sense.

The god idea is popular with desperate people.

Yeah if the Christian school would have just gotten the pronouns right and queerified their curriculum like they were told, there would have been no need for she/her to kill Christian children and faculty.
And when the Confederates saw Jackson standing fearless like a stonewall, the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.

You have a magical way of missing the point. The point is that you can escape critical race theory by going to a private Christian school, but you can’t escape crazy gun-toting murderers.

But you're implying that getting rid of AR-15s will let one escape crazy gun toting murderers. I don't believe it will to any appreciable extent. If the shooter had right wing views or believed in God you'd be calling for censorship of conservative media. But since this particular shooter has held left wing views you don't want to talk about motives anymore much less censoring the mainstream media that helped shape this shooters worldview and ideology.

Shrug.

And you are basing this on what?

I am not concerned about what brand of crazy he ascribes to.

But if it were someone like the Buffalo shooter you'd be demanding the shooters maifesto be released.
