Source // Two heroes from the Colorado Springs nightclub shooting were a military veteran and a trans woman (misidentified as a drag queen in the article) who stepped on the gumman with her heels.
No cops. A vet and a trans woman.

There’s really nothing to say is there? Just everything to feel.
*edit: Club Q stated on their Facebook that they would like donations for victims to go through Colorado Gives.

The cops had advance notice of a gunman on the loose, from the shooter’s grandmother, at great pains, notifying the police.
Tumblr media
He crashed his car before arriving at the school, once again alerting the police. His grandmother stood in the line of fire to stop him, teachers threw themselves in front of bullets to save their students - but the US cops, heavily armed and armoured, the prototypical ‘good guy with a gun’? They stood by and did nothing.
Tumblr media
Cops kill defenceless kids more than mass shooters do, and when given the opportunity to stop a shooting, refuse. What heroes. The cowardice makes sense, though; cops have no obligation to protect people, just to defend property.

the texas shooting boils my blood because there were cops outside the school who were supposed to be protecting the students inside, and the shooter was inside the school for FORTY MINUTES while parents were at the school begging to be let in to try to save their children and. they. did. nothing.
The cops just let this person murder 18 (???) schoolchildren like ????

I want everyone to be very careful with the words they use to describe my state and the situation that is occurring at the moment.
Maine is a rural state, and people are used to driving long distances to see people and even just to go to work. Cities that are about an hour from Lewiston are cancelling events and classes because an hour drive isn’t that long for a Mainer.
This also isn’t a teenager with little to no gun experience getting his hands on a weapon of war. Robert Card is trained former military, highly dangerous, and knows how to aim a gun, shoot properly, reload quickly, change weapons, and unjam a weapon.
There is a large immigrant and refugee population in Lewiston. You will see people mentioning that this could be the fault of “gangs.” It is not. Robert Card is a racist, transphobic, white man who shot at children and families during a bowling league competition. Lewiston’s immigrant and refugee population had absolutely nothing to do with this attack.
Follow news sources, not social media.
And for the love of god, it’s LEWIS-TIN. NOT LEWISTOWN.

The police covered up killing this man for as long as they could. If the shooter doesn’t kill you, the police will.

For those that don’t know, tonight (October 25th) there has been a series of mass shootings with multiple suspects involved in Lewiston, Maine, USA.
There are 18 confirmed deaths so far and 60+ injured with 2 locations involved. The shooter(s) have not been caught, multiple counties are on active lockdown with shelter-in-place orders.
The primary suspect is a white man from a military background in firearms, Lewiston has one of the largest concentration of refugees in the state, and anytime the Lewiston/Auburn area gets any news coverage, there is an increase in hate violence against all of the people of color in the area.
People and news outlets are absolutely going to try to spin this to place blame on the immigrant and refugee communities in the area. It is so vital that people combat this racist misinformation.
Maine is a small, rural state without the resources or infrastructure for anything like this. Hospitals are overwhelmed, even with backups being called in from New Hampshire and Massachusetts. I'll post updates and fundraisers for the community as they come up. I'm so worried for my community.

ICYMI today while the media concentrated on Trump’s arrest, in Tennessee:
Protesters gathered at the TN State Capitol to protest gun violence and legislators’ inaction, a week after a mass shooting occurred in Nashville. The government is overwhelming run by Republicans.
3 Democratic legislators - Reps Justin Jones, Gloria Johnson, and Justin Pearson - joined protestors in the State House demanding gun reform.
For “dishonoring the House” by speaking out of turn, Republicans put forth a vote tomorrow to expel them from the House.
The media and protestors were escorted out as Rep. Lafferty (R) assaulted Rep. Jones (D).
Meanwhile, Rep. Lamberth (R) confronted protestors with tone deaf rhetoric asking "If there is a firearm out there that you’re comfortable being shot with, please show me which one it is.”
A reminder that our government is run by evil conservatives who try each day to steal more power as they do nothing to address injustices.

if you hear a phrase like “gun violence is now the leading cause of death for american children” and can just go about your day and not feel an ounce of rage or shame, something is incredibly wrong with you

New footage of cops at Uvalde has come out. Timestamps let us see that, at 12:36, while a child desperately pleaded with 911 to send police, the cops were in fact milling around in the hallway outside, doing nothing.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Evidently, they were too busy looking up Punisher logos on their phones.
Tumblr media
Or getting a squirt of hand sanitiser.
Tumblr media
Keep in mind that, while this was happening, children were bleeding out. When suffering traumatic injury, survival rates drastically increase if a person can be taken to a hospital within the 'golden hour' after it occurs - the cops were pissing that time away.
