Republicans: Now is not the time to discuss politics, now is the time to mourn! Doing anything else is disrespectful to the victims!
Victims: Hey, can we have some gun laws? Republicans: Haha, what makes those kids experts on how dangerous guns are, seeing their classmates get pumped full of bullets? Stupid entitled millennials! "What, pray tell, did these students do to earn their claim to expertise? They were present during a mass shooting, and they have the right point of view, according to the Left." —Ben Shapiro It's funny that Shapiro has an entire article about how youth are too naive and irrational to have a say in politics, yet I've never been entirely convinced that Ben Shapiro isn't just three children in a trenchcoat. |

Shapiro is something else
but I don't know if you're just doomed to sillyness by the nature of trying to position as a "conservative intellectual" great dissecting of the guy in this article: https://static.currentaffairs.org/20...ds-philosopher |

reprise, what is the likely line of procedure in Florida with this, will either the entire system what happens when authorities are alerted be adapted or at least checked, or will they simply ask someone to take the blame and step down, and that's that?

So many fucking people fucked this up. Henderson Mental Health definitely deserves some of the blame. They are basically the tri-county mental health care system for child protection and violence cases, plus therapy etc for poor people. The fact that they never thought he was a danger after several violent incidents is terrible. Honestly I feel like the buck stops with the sheriff but since he is a democrat and says all the right things, nothing will happen to him. I will not vote for him again, however. There were so many chances to get this kid. FBI fucked up, Broward County fuck up, the school fucked up, henderson fucked up. Obviously they need to be able to have a better communication system. Also whatever therapist he saw fucked up by not seeing or reporting that he was a danger to others. I think he saw a therapist recently, too. If nothing else happens, the way law enforcement and community outreach talks to each other needs to change. And mental health professionals need to be able to ask and act on if their client is known to or admits to having guns. I do not think there is a protocol to do this currently. |

I am just incapable of understanding that this can really happen.
in a country with so many mass and especially school shootings, that literally nothing happens if you and a dozen other people alert authorities EIGHTEEN TIMES over the years - and then 17 people are dead. |

my cynical take will come once I have seen how gun sales in Florida are doing since that shooting.

I would assume gun sales would go up because the kind of people that buy guns would have fear instilled in them and would want to have a means to "protect themselves"
or they freak out thinking assault weapons will soon be banned and think it might be their last chance to buy them. source: no idea |

exactly. source - every mass shooting of at least the past 5 years where I paid attention. guns sales always go up.
you shoot school kids in elementary school age and the result are bulletproof backpacks being the next hot thing under the Christmas tree. who would want to prevent that? at least one sector of the economy is booming! okay I am done now. |

When I was in college at Duquesne like half our basketball team got shot and I considered participating in the open tryouts. But then I was a lazy sack of shit and didn’t bother. WORTH IT.

It's a good thing he isn't far-right though. He left Breitbart right when Andrew Breitbart died and Steve Bannon joined, he really doesn't like that guy. Quote:

The social chameleon just received its cue to shift again and maximize acceptance.

"Maximize acceptance"? You're either really fucking daft or I'm too socially inept to understand that this is a joke or something of the sort.
I'm hoping it's the latter. You do realize I'm making an argument against them, right? |

Hmm, I'm not immediately sure how to respond. I've been all for this guy so far, but am willing to look into the matter and might possibly experience an evolution of opinion that should prove a little more conducive to coming off as anything other than a viscid half-person with nothing interesting to contribute. Like, imagine an invertebrate sociopath following the wikiHow for ingratiation.
[Insert list of reasons why a positive view of him is at least arguably defensible here. Provide evidence. Demonstrate room for compromise; lessen the need to backflip.] |

Okay.
Sorry I called you a bitch. Did you read the article I posted? I feel like that's a fairer take on his career in general. The one you sent is way too one dimensional tbh, the other one highlights both the pros and cons. Dude has done some stupid shit, yeah. |
