Today I despise humans, especially those who seem to lack basic empathy and respect for human life. Without preaching left or right or who's "correct" per se, I'm disgusted by the politics surrounding a tragedy. Nobody should ever be executed on the streets for ANY reason. Why is that so hard for so many to understand?

There’s been a mass shooting at a kids party in Stockton, California.
4 are dead and at least ten are wounded.
School shootings. Birthday party shootings. Christmas tree lighting shootings.
It doesn’t have to be this way. This isn’t normal.
The problem is the guns.

'Authorities have seized more than 1,000 firearms and gun parts in a crackdown on the spread of illicit weapons in Australia and New Zealand.
The week-long transnational operation led to more than 180 arrests, according to Australian Border Force, and the seizure of 281 privately manufactured firearms and parts, including those made by 3D printers.
In New South Wales, police located multiple 3D printers alongside glock-style pistols, magazines and 3D-printed holsters, among other items.' https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2025/oct/21/australia-new-zealand-gun-control-firearms-seized-weapon-crackdown #guncontrol #3dprinting #health #safety

Confirmed, even at 11:30PM MT suspect still at large.
Every “ #left” politician & talking head has decried the fatal #shooting of #CharlieKirk, but the #RightWing peeps like #SteveBannon & #FoxNews‘ #JesseWaters are saying we are at WAR. Disgusting. They’re not calling for unity or an end to #PoliticalViolence. They are fanning the flames of #division & #hate.

#KashPatel, #Trump#FBI director, says on social media that the suspected #CharlieKirk shooter is in custody.
Utah law enforcement are currently holding a press conference, they say the suspect is still at large.
Pretty sure Patel is wrong.
Video posted on social media shows the moment #CharlieKirk was shot & the seconds leading to the incident. Kirk was being asked questions about #MassShootings in the #US.
“Do you know how many mass shooters there have been in America in the last 10 years?” a person asks. “Counting or not counting gang violence?” Kirk responds right before he is shot.
Speaker #MikeJohnson paused the #House in the middle of a series of votes to call for a moment of silence and prayer for #CharlieKirk.
Several Democrats objected, pointing out that the House had not given a #SchoolShooting in #Colorado earlier in the day the same treatment.
Also #Trump ordered all American flags to be lowered to half-staff until Sunday evening at 6PM in honor of Kirk, he didn’t mention the 3 students shot at Colorado #Evergreen HS.

Law enforcement officials are still looking for the #shooter, said a university spox, Ellen Treanor: “There is no suspect in custody; it is an active investigation.” The campus was closed, & classes have been canceled.
Treanor said that #CharlieKirk, 31, was struck about 20 mins after he began speaking on the university’s campus in Orem, #Utah. She said an attacker had fired at Kirk from the Losee Center, a building more than 100 yards away.
#CharlieKirk, #FarRight Activist, Fatally #Shot in Utah
Mr. Kirk, 31, a close ally of #Trump, was killed while speaking in front of a large crowd at #Utah Valley University. A university official said no suspect was in custody.
