The suspect in the Florida State University shooter, who faces first degree murder charges for killing two and injuring five on Thursday was a member of Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point USA, a fascist youth group around the Republican Party, and is a registered Republican voter in Florida. The 20-year-old suspect, Phoenix Ikner, is the stepson of Leon County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Jessica Ikner, who has been with the department for 18 years.

There was another article that said the shooter used the step parent's service gun.

so do they have responsibility for their weapons?

like securely locked-up whenever they are not on physically in possession and in control of them?

this isn’t a crime that would have been prevented by the gun control measures advocated by the Democrats, since none of the proposals involve disarming the police

Just had to get that in there, you fucking donkeys.

I saw some of these guys at the protest on Saturday. Someone had a microphone and spent, no lie, about 2/3rds of the time they had the mic aiming vicious criticism at the Democrats. Not "both sides," not the whole system (that was the remaining 1/3rd), but the Democrats specifically. I thought about making a bigger post about it but I'm not even sure what to say about it. I think there was 0 criticism at all leveled at the Trump administration or anything that they were doing.

Great job guys

Disarming the police does sound like an excellent idea. Police cause more problems than they solve with firearms.

Who could possibly not have foreseen this?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 days ago

Unsurprising.

... but I repeat myself.

It's always the ones you most suspect.
