Carried out by sick individuals. Kamala Harris' answer..... “I’m actually prepared to take executive action to put in place rules that improve this situation,” Harris said via the Washington Examiner, specifying that she would not wait for Congress to pass legislation or hand over the issue for Congress to address. “I also have as part of my background and experience working on this issue, when I was attorney general [of California], and we put resources into allowing law enforcement to actually knock on the doors of people who were on two lists — a list where they had been found by a court to be a danger to themselves and others and another list where they were precluded and prohibited from owning a gun because of a conviction that prohibited that ownership,” she added. How would the above method(s) stopped either of the last 3 mass casualty events? None of the shooters would have been on either lists.....

The shooting in El Paso went for almost 20 minutes before police were able to subdue the shooter who then surrendered. The shooting in Dayton ended within 1 minute with the shooter getting shot killed. One could follow the silly narrative that Walmart is supposedly a "gun free" zone, so the shooter was already breaking one law right there, and since this was a "gun free" zone, he felt safe enough to carry out his acts of terror. Ditto for the Dayton shooter with the exception of a "gun free" zone, and given there was a "good guy with a gun" who ended the rampage before it really got going..... What would have happened to an armed civilian had he dropped the El Paso shooter in "Gun Free" zone? What is the answer to stopping these senseless acts? A group of doctors are attempting to find an answer http://www.drsforamerica.org/issues/gun-violence-research-ban but needs congress to let the CDC research gun violence. Maybe the AMA will allow more exposure to individual's mental health issues, but SF doesn't know if that is the right direction either..... SF hasn't started carrying his handgun again, yet....... I don't know. I know I am tired of having my flag lowered to half staff......

SF is wondering - why aren't the democrats who are bashing Obama's policies considered racist? Any republican who does virtually the same thing certainly is.......

And we are just now hearing about this a whole week later? https://www.wbaltv.com/article/cummings-home-was-burglarized-early-saturday-morning/28582041 BALTIMORE — Sources confirm to the 11 News' I-Team that U.S. Rep. Elijah Cummings' home was broken into early Saturday morning. According to officials, the Baltimore Police Department is investigating a report of a burglary that occurred on Saturday, around 3:40 a.m., at a home in the 2000 block of Madison Avenue. At this time, it is unknown if any property was taken from the location, officials said. Hours later that morning, Trump slammed Cummings and Baltimore in a series of tweets, where Trump called Baltimore a "disgusting, rat- and rodent-infested mess." Cummings tweeted the following in response to Trump: "Mr. President, I go home to my district daily. Each morning, I wake up, and I go and fight for my neighbors.

The President of the United States is a racist. He’s made it abundantly clear his re-election is based on white nationalism. If you support him, there can be no distinction between you being a racist and a racist enabler. They are the same. - Rob Reiner President Donald J. Trump - Living rent-free in liberal's heads since 2016....

Wait - Was Trump actually right about this? https://www.baltimoresun.com/entertainment/movies/bs-wk-movies-0915-story.html 'Rat Film' highlights Baltimore's rat warfare, urban planning failures

At the National Art Gallery in Dublin, a husband and wife were staring at a portrait that had them completely confused. The painting depicted three black men totally naked, sitting on a bench. Two of the figures had black penises, but the one in the middle had a pink penis. The curator of the gallery realized that they were having trouble interpreting the painting and offered his personal assessment. He went on for over half an hour explaining how it depicted the sexual emasculation of African Americans in a predominately white patriarchal society . "In fact", he pointed out, "some serious critics believe that the pink penis also reflects the cultural and sociological oppression experienced by gay men in contemporary society". After the curator left, an Irishman approached the couple and said, "Would you like to know what the painting is really about?" "Now why would you claim to be more of an expert than the curator of the gallery", asked the couple? "Because I am the artist, who painted the picture", he replied, "In fact, there are no African Americans depicted at all. They're just three Irish coal miners. The guy in the middle went home for lunch"

https://www.huffpost.com/entry/erin-burnett-donald-trump-infested-trope_n_5d3fec29e4b01d8c9780ac72 Erin Burnett on Monday broke down the ways in which President Donald Trump has previously used the word “infested” to stoke racism. The host of CNN’s “Outfront” explained that Trump’s recent Twitter attacks on Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) and the city of Baltimore, which he called a “disgusting rodent and rat infested mess,” was designed to ”feed his base’s basest tendencies.” “And ‘infest’ is a word the president often uses when it comes to black and brown people,” said Burnett, who highlighted previous examples of Trump using the “trope.” “Infest is a loaded word throughout history and when people defending Trump say ’well, literally, there are rats in Baltimore, that shows a painful willingness to look the other way,’” she added. So......Who is racist again? Congressman Cummings uses the word "Infested" when referring to his district back in 1999. (a district which hasn't improved much since then)

Elijah Cummings declined an offer to tour a Baltimore Housing and Urban Development (HUD) facility with HUD secretary Ben Carson on Wednesday. HUD invited Cummings to tour the facility with Carson on Tuesday, however Cummings rejected the invitation, the Daily Caller has learned. https://www.baltimoresun.com/politics/bs-md-pol-ben-carson-visit-20190731-20190731-zk22qwmp4fhvjklv3wxlbvxfkm-story.html U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson came to Baltimore Wednesday to tout the Trump administration’s efforts to improve urban areas. But Carson ran into trouble when his entourage was kicked off the Southwest Baltimore property where they planned to hold a press conference. HUD officials hoped to stage their event on a vacant lot, but never asked permission from Morning Star Baptist Church of Christ, which owns the lot and hopes to build a parking lot there, said church member Gregory Evans. Evans asked the HUD group to move off the property. “It’s nothing personal,” Evans said from the church lobby, where he was reading the newspaper and checking in children to a vacation Bible school camp. “I didn’t know it was Secretary Carson. I just know there were a bunch of people over there that were taking over our site. And we said, 'Why are they here? They’ve not even asked for permission to be here.” Yeah, Cummings sure cares about his district.........And his district sure doesn't appear to appreciate HUD's efforts to help......

SF thought it was the racist Trump's fault....... https://www.cnn.com/videos/politics/2019/07/31/flint-michigan-marianne-williamson-cnn-democratic-debate-vpx.cnn

I dunno - the wooden spoon was still pretty persuasive.......

Triggers for you......

Cummings must be so proud......

I would agree. BUT - when the belt cleared the loops, it was too late by then to correct the behavior that brought the belt out......

SF agrees with the first sentence.......and for the record - SF wouldn't justify racism......but what the President tweeted was not racist IMHO - it was factual. But if you want to justify calling someone a racist, then don't be choosy.....

So.....What ever Trump says, even when it's factual, it's just racist then......Even the (former) Mayor was shocked..... BUT - Because Cummings is black, the President can't even point out what everyone around Baltimore knows......

https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/otilliasteadman/baltimore-residents-trumps-racist-tweets Baltimore residents are defending the city a day after President Trump went on another racist tirade calling the city “a disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess.” If racist Elijah Cummings would focus more of his energy on helping the good people of his district, and Baltimore itself, perhaps progress could be made in fixing the mess that he has helped to create over many years of incompetent leadership. His radical “oversight” is a joke! A "racist tirade"? Bernie was ignored a few short years ago...... https://www.dailywire.com/news/49995/watch-sen-bernie-sanders-trashed-baltimore-years-frank-camp The Washington Examiner dug up a tweet from 2016 in which Sanders wrote: "Residents of Baltimore’s poorest boroughs have lifespans shorter than people living under dictatorship in North Korea. That is a disgrace." In February, USA Today published a list of the "25 Most Dangerous Cities in America," which was complied using data from the FBI’s 2017 Uniform Crime Report. Baltimore ranked as the third most dangerous city in terms of "murder ... non-negligent manslaughter, rape, robbery, and aggravated assault." Only Detroit and St. Louis ranked higher in those combined categories. Additionally, as The Daily Wire has previously noted, pest control company Orkin ranked Baltimore as the ninth "rattiest city" in the country in 2018. The city ranked number eight in 2017, number six in 2016, and number nine in 2014. Before castigating the president regarding his tweets, Sen. Sanders would do well to remember the statistics, as well as his own words from just four years ago. Maybe Baltimore ought to wake up here...... When both Bernie AND the President carry about the same message......

SF got to cut his own switches from the willow tree for Dad. That's when you knew you really screwed up.......
