GOP lawmaker blames mass shootings on Obama and ‘drag queen advocates’ in crazed Facebook rant
The Cincinnati Enquirer reports that Ohio state Rep. Candice Keller posted an unhinged Facebook rant shortly after the mass shooting in Dayton, Ohio that sought to blame everything but easy access to firearms for the latest massacre of American citizens.
“The breakdown of the traditional American family (thank you, transgender, homosexual marriage, and drag queen advocates); fatherlessness, a subject no one discusses or believes is relevant; the ignoring of violent video games; the relaxing of laws against criminals (open borders); the acceptance of recreational marijuana; failed school policies (hello, parents who defend misbehaving students): disrespect to law enforcement (thank you, Obama),” she wrote in her post.

Nobody replied quickly enough the first time you brought this to the table you decided to reheat it and offer leftovers?
Again, it was part of a larger list of examples of the degradation of society and she's not wrong.

Death toll now stands a 31.

Here is the sick part IMO. Something like this happens and we have a few weeks of pearl clutching and name calling and mud slinging by Politicians who want nothing better for us than to ”govern" us to the grave. Do gooders think they have the answer and all it requires is for everyone to give up something so that someone doesn't get hurt tomorrow.
Where is all this angst, 24 hour news coverage, and the quick fixes for the 3000 deaths in swimming pools each year in the US?
Or any of the other deaths by objects that are in common usage?
You are correct, this is about scoring points but who is try6 to score these points and to what means? That is what is important here.

To be fair, in the El Paso case we know the motive. And it is very much in line with the rhetoric of the far Right and even mirrors some statements made by Trump.
We still don't know the root cause in the Dayton case. Although the death of the sister would seemingly indicate something more domestic.
One of these is very much a politically motivated act. The other is an unknown. That's why it's ridiculous to try to peg the Dayton tragedy to the killer's political leanings.
I hope you and others can see the difference.

The interesting thing about the El Paso manifesto is it is ideologically all over the map.
Trump isn't anti corporation nor does Trump ever say anything about urban sprawl and diminished resources these are more leftists sort of ideologies.
I think the El Paso Murderer was the sort who reacted and blamed anyone he could for anything.
And you are right, we don't know what Dayton's motive was yet.
