I know you're posting in bad faith but
breaking news: 32 dead in ongoing mass roasting. Frightened eyewitnesses recall "that poor kid was wearing Crocs to school and the shooter roasted him so hard. He keeps coming at us."
believe me, that'll die down pretty quickly
and in big democratic cities like detroit and chicago, where there are ridiculously strict gun laws, gun violence is out of control:thinking:
