Yeah, both sides have been complaining about that lack of data. That's an absolute good.

This is interesting: Dennis Kucinich Joining Fox News
The friend who shared it's take on it: "It's shocking at first, until it sinks in to me that it's actually pretty apt in how it fits with his role he's already played (full bias disclosure: working on his campaign was the experience that broke me away from the Dems forever). Token progressive giving left cover to the totally morally bankrupt Democratic Party becomes token progressive giving left cover to the totally morally bankrupt Fox News."

kucinich is an idiot, but if he wants to be a punching bag and a tool in fox's arsenal for making democrats look ridiculous, that's his prerogative

This is singlehandedly the most fucked up thing I have ever read. Hands fucking down.

A 15 year old snuck into his parents room while his other was sleeping, got guns out of an unlocked closet, and shot his mother dead while she slept. He then showed the head to his 9 year old brother, who started crying. He then shot his brother in the head. After hearing his sisters, ages 2 and 5, crying, he shot them in the head as well.

His father, a former pastor, came home at 5 am, not knowing what had happened. The kid then shot him with an AR. He texted pictures of his dead mother to his 12 year old girlfriend, and contemplated going on a shooting spree at the local Walmart, as well as killing his girlfriend's parents. He then spent the day with his girlfriend, before going to the local church and saying his parents had been killed in a car accident. Someone at the church called 911.

He then lied to investigators, saying he had come home at 5 am and found his family dead, and had taken the guns as protection. After being pressed, he admitted to killing his family. He's being charged with murder and child abuse, and is being tried as an adult.

And apparently he talked to police a bunch about violent video games he loved to play - Modern Warfare and GTA.

Well, I guess we know where the blame is heading with this one, if the media has any say about it. But seriously, this is just so fucked up. I can't get over the fact that after killing his whole family, he spent the day with his girlfriend and then went to church and told them his family died in a car accident. I mean, he's fucking 15. And his girlfriend is 12. TWELVE. That'd mean she's still in grade school, for fucks sake.

The world is an appalling place.

And this is all going to be blamed on violent video games.

It's regrettable, but these things happen all the time. One thing I never understood is why they try to take down as many people with them. It's not like anyone's going to pat them on the back for a kill/death ratio.

[CTrees]

High scores.

Because free will is totally a thing we have control over, as opposed to the existence, number, and access to firearms, which we have no control over at all.


God you're fucking stupid, how have you not drowned while looking up at the sky wondering where the water was coming from yet?
