Another mass shooting. Maine this time. At least 22 dead.

As if we aren't dealing with enough shit at the moment.

If we are to restore sanity we must bring back the death penalty. Case in point right here… These… whatever you want to call them, should be publicly executed and their bodies left to rot.

I figure that link is straight up malware, but I’m guessing it’s people who camp out in the left lane doing three under the speed limit.

I was thinking of posting an article about this heinous crime too, now don't need to. I've seen that horrible maddening video of them hitting the cop several times already.

It's just sick that they could care less.

Someone did a scenario of that if Ukraine wins the war, China will invade Russia during the power struggle, but will quickly retreat if the power vacuum gets quickly filled.

I've heard of quite a few detransitioners sueing doctors and think it will become more common if those sex changes continue. Hopefully that will make this sick procedure more uncommon if they know it could backfire.

It seems those Dems under 40 in the House have forgotten lessons of the past.  The big speak from the squad on the steps of Congress yesterday-

edit:  In thinking on this, the right needs a refresher course too.

Alright, I'll summarize:

I am against the invasion of Ukraine.  I think the idea of China invading Russia is crazy.

I mean, the number of mass shootings in schools were much lower when Christian Teachings were there. (Could also be less people had access to firearms)

I mean, during a power struggle, China would do it as they think Russia is fighting themselves and not protecting their own borders.

I live in a city where a majority of people are irreligious, and we don’t have a problem with school shootings.

That is different, maybe because the crime rate is lower?

It's a case-by-case basis

Plenty of Bible Belt states have high violent crime rates. Meanwhile, the famously irreligious Pacific Northwest has lower than average violent crime rates.

If there is a causal relation between religiosity and crime, it seems to go exactly opposite the way you think it does!

Sometimes Religion has been used as a weapon or a justification for nasty crimes.

 

In Schools? That was different, school mass shootings when religion was more common was schools was generally lower compared to now.

Fewer school shootings in Canada than in the USA, and Canada is less religious.

Japan is less religious yet, and school shootings are unknown there.

I saw a recent article about how the study often cited by Democrats (conducted by The Third Way) that showed states who voted for Trump have a higher crime rate than those that voted for Biden is conceptually flawed. In the vast majority of cases, crimes take place at the local level and do not involve federal or state officials. Due to that, it would be more appropriate to compare crime rates in counties that voted for Trump vs counties that voted for Biden. The results of those comparisons are in the below chart.

You can draw your own conclusions but I thought it was an interesting point to make.
