School shooting in Madison, Wisconsin, police say

[@christopherwollard5117]

I'm trying to send thoughts and prayers but united Healthcare keeps denying me

[@SplashOfOrange]

If you're praying to UHC you're doing it wrong.

[@Brandalf_The_Grey]

School shootings are so crazy when Luigi showed us who the real enemies in this country are.

[@Manley156]

Bowser?

[@kbleo90]

Yup, the health and insurance companiss.

[@Southernguy41]

Luigi? I agree. Yes, them too, but so is Luigi.

[@JRDubya77]

So, violence is wrong and should always be condemned, except when the victim is someone whom you dislike. Is that how this works?

[@SkyWalker-s1x]

Broken society in america.

[@chrisbohanon403]

The left has destroyed this country!

[@WilliamKiene]

America might not be able to avoid a second horrific Civil War.

[@infamoustimes2927]

Republicans Prayers & Thoughts should be stopping this madness by now. Why isn't it working?

[@jpkral]

Because prayers and thoughts are not used to "fix the problem", it's to wish the best for the families that are suffering from the loss. It's not that complicated.

[@firstlast8258]

​@jpkral pain is inevitable but suffering is usually optional

[@FilmSureelist97]

You must live under a rock

[@733t0ne-yd6qf]

Most likely a child of a single mother.. would like to know how active a relationship he has with dad. Would be shocked if dad is there. Bullying.

[@yourenotspecial3735]

@jpkral while they’re wasting their time with prayers, gods preying on all of us. Kinda like what he did with poor little Mary. How old was she again? Younger than these high schoolers right? 😳😂

[@ppploans]

NRA has left the chat

[@kinjunranger140]

Nope, still here.

[@chrisbohanon403]

Love the NRA! Great organization. But they are the smallest group today. Much better ones have stepped up to protect our rights!

[@JRDubya77]

The NRA supports the lawful use of firearms, provides safety training, and supports law enforcement. Your comment makes no sense.

[@rusch_playz8716]

"Bullied" "monsters" vs. "BULLY" NOT ROCKET SCIENCE! TO STOP FUTURE SHOOTING: HOLD "BULLY" ACCOUNTABLE. NOT "BULLIED"

[@sqrley]

Boomer parents... must change from 'pat on th head' 'time out' parents. Children have zero parental control/love/interaction. Geezus, parents step up and be a parent not a buddy.

[@Brandalf_The_Grey]

How horrible is it that many of these casualties may be denied their healthcare claim? These innocent victims will be dealing with the pain and trauma for the rest of their lives for being shot and then stuck with tens of thousands of dollars in hospital bills.

[@ChiefRocka323]

It's only getting worse

[@Meemeeseecoo]

Thoughts & Prayers y’all, thoughts & prayers. Prayers & Thoughts!

[@SplashOfOrange]

Yeah, because compassion and empathy are over-rated and definitely not something we need more of.

[@Chris-df1or]

If people would stop blaming faith, and take responsibility for there own actions the world would be much better😊 Christians are amazing. Not every one is bad .

[@angrytheeditor7253]

First Robb second Nashville Third Georgia and now Madison

[@1940limited]

The school's web site seems to have been taken down.

[@Doris-i3o]

Was the child abused? One has to wonder.

[@SWR1-1]

Let's review a couple of facts It is already illegal for a 16 year old to possess a handgun. It is already illegal to take a handgun to a school. Red flag laws are unconstitutional because they deny due process under the 4th amendment. It's tragic, but no new laws are necessary. Who is the adult who allowed this child to get hold of this weapon? That is the pertinent question.

[@cedricksamaniego9146]

In̈ Christ we trust????

[@sqrley]

Boomer parents... must change from 'pat on th head' 'time out' parents. Children have zero parental control/love/interaction. Geezus, parents step up and be a parent not a buddy.

[@tsb7911]

True, but thoughts and prayers are a waste of everyone's time and energy.

[@Personalities-mn4vl]

Ironic school name.

[@hunterblack6494]

Well I guess "taking God out of school" is not the reason this happens all the time in the US. Call me crazy but maybe it's the extremely easy access to firearms...

[@h14resells64]

All those thoughts and prayers did nothing? color me surprised

[@SplashOfOrange]

Because doing this kind of thing isn't illegal enough already? It's not a gun problem because the guns have always been here and were even easier to get in the past. And it's not a lack-of-law problem because this was already illegal. It's tragic, but "access to guns" is a placebo that doesn't address the root causes. We'll wait for more info of course, but in almost every case the gun control measures suggested in response wouldn't have prevented the incident anyway, or the incident shows that more serious laws were violated which shows the futility of thinking "more law" has anything to do with the actual solution.

[@jpkral]

Yes because the gun alone killed people, not the individual behind the trigger. Call me crazy but taking guns away from law-abiding citizens, that want to protect their family, isn't going to fix the school shootings that are happening.

[@GooglePlayGamesAccount]

​@SplashOfOrange Yes, this has not always been an issue. However, now that it is, we need to make LAWS that rise to this issue. Australia was able to do a buy back and restrict guns when Port arthur happened, so your claim of laws not doing anything is incorrect.

[@733t0ne-yd6qf]

No but taking Dad out the home is.. 99% of the time.. Single Momma Kid.

[@Archangelmychel]

Stop blaming guns!

[@michaellombardo7312]

Let's make this completely clear!! The gun manufacturers and NRA had NOTHING TO DO WITH IT !!!!!!!!!!!!! Thoughts and prayers! There that fixed it!!!!

[@SplashOfOrange]

You got the first half right, the 2nd half though -- lack of legitimate thoughts and concern for each other is exactly the problem. It's weird that you mock having compassion and empathy for those who are hurting. Should we do MORE than that? Of course, but it's bizarre that it's trendy to downplay the first and more important component of actually caring for each other in the first place. 🧡

[@AdversaryOne]

Usual suspect.

[@BenjaminRamos-i7n]

God help all this families

[@jeepguy4499]

Wow! Can you believe god did this?

[@randyrisch188]

It’s insane people doing this, not a political party

[@lheart9423]

Have we tried any solution for insane people not to get guns? Oh, that's right, the GOP blocked any progress.

[@RS-Caleb]

There are the people who are committing the act. Then there are those people in politics doing nothing to prevent it from happening again.

[@Michael0663-qo4wx]

GOP support armed insane people doing this for profit though so actually yeah this issue is politcal as well. The GOP is fully corporate owned. The Democrat party is partially, perhaps mostly corporate owned. Trump is a corporate puppet, best con man on earth.

[@SplashOfOrange]

@@RS-Caleb Right, the D's keep playing the same blue-pill broken record of "laws" that are clearly being broken anyway, while R's have at least tried to harden schools to protect our kids even if just as an interim solution. It's telling that D's would rather this keep happening to feed their narrative than try something different.

[@grobanite4ever85]

The specific political party fuels this

[@LocalBatteryThief]

guess their thoughts and prayers didnt save them huh 😅

[@timafiggy]

Sad

[@tipoomaster]

An event like this was pretty callable by anyone with a finger on the pulse and paying attention imo. Misandry has been okayed in teaching the new generations and it's just going to be the new rising hate group. We didn't replace hate with no hate, we just changed the group it's ok to hate on. Reminds me of that Facebook thing that happened when they tried to make a gender and race blind algorithm for combatting hate speech, and instead of what they expected something like 90% or something to that effect of the hate was directed at men

[@733t0ne-yd6qf]

Would like to know if the shooter has a dad in home.

[@sqrley]

Boomer parents... must change from 'pat on th head' 'time out' parents. Children have zero parental control/love/interaction. Geezus, parents step up and be a parent not a buddy.

[@733t0ne-yd6qf]

@sqrley It looks like the child had no dad.

[@wanderer44-xr5si]

School shootings are heartbreaking and tragic events, and they highlight the deep brokenness in our world. As Christians, we recognize that sin and evil exist because of humanity's separation from God. When God’s presence, truth, and moral foundation are removed from homes, hearts, and societies, the void can lead to destructive behavior, as the enemy thrives in places where God is rejected. The Bible reminds us that our battle is not against flesh and blood but against spiritual forces of evil (Ephesians 6:12). The demonic influence in these acts cannot be overlooked. However, it’s also a call for Christians to be light in a dark world-to live out and share God’s love, truth, and hope with others. Prayer, teaching godly principles in the home, and spreading the message of Jesus can bring healing to broken lives. While we may not be able to control the actions of others, we can pray for our communities, for the hearts of young people to turn to Christ, and for God to heal the wounds caused by such tragedies. God’s love and the power of the gospel are what ultimately overcome evil.

Please pray for the bereaved in this their time of need🎉

50 years of telling children that life is not sacred is paying off.

😢 WTF.

[@Tampa81333]

👽👽👽👽 take us out bruh

[@NYDonP]

Do you get it? I love Everything Everyone.. But Their not Blacks 😢..God Bless and we send our condolences and prayers..

[@briankoyn9629]

Why is there nobody evacuating

[@timafiggy]

Probably did ,maybe the back of the school.tgey aren't in camera like they did with Parkland. Also protecting identity if the children being let out. It's not Uvalde.

[@SplashOfOrange]

It's bizarre that many of those who respond are going to bash "thoughts and prayers" as if thoughtfulness, empathy, and compassion are bad things instead of key components of meaningful solutions.

[@briankoyn9629]

Bunch of nothing

[@RocKnight11]

My goodness, these Christians are getting out of control 😳

[@tsb7911]

Thoughts and prayers. Yes that is a joke. Iceland doesn't need thoughts and prayers.

[@davidarmola6218]

These are the "Last" of the "Last Day's" Matthew 24:3-14. Jesus said it would be this way during the time of his "Presence" and the "Conclusion" of this system of things. He compared this time period to the days of Noah (Matthew 24:37/ Luke 17:26,27). Why? Just as it was in Noah's day the earth is filled with "Violence." Compare Genesis 6:11-13. Things are going from bad to worse. Seek God and his righteousness, seek meekness, seek Gods Kingdom while there is still time. Compare Zephaniah 2:3 and Matthew 24:14. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the victims and their families.

[@threefreaksonaleash6619]

You guys have been saying forever now. Maybe this "conclusion" ain't gonna happen.

The fact we have a mental health crisis going on but yet continue to make this a gun issue is just mind boggling to me 🫠
