That's absolutely heartbreaking and genuinely infuriating (not really a strong enough word to do this justice) at the same time.

That is fecking sad. It gets my blood boiling. This dad is grieving his 6 year old son, his 6 YEAR OLD and yet he keeps moving cause he is getting death threats from assholes who dont deserve to live. How fecking pathetic is this world?
At the very least, the kids are not letting this incident go quitely into statistics as previous mass shootings.
And the Republican scums who took money from the NRA is being outed for the greedy feckhead they are is always a good thing
What an absolutely horrific read. Poor, poor man.
I actually know one of these fecking nutjobs. Thankfully she doesn't call up the victims' families or send letters or any nonsense like that. But she believes that all of these attacks are 'false-flags', nobody is actually injured or dead and they are all government plots. Which I guess is how these idiots justify abusing these relatives, they think they're a front for a government plot to subvert something or other.
It goes without saying that she loves Assad, Putin and believes every conspiracy theory going.

Something's got to give. You don't shoot demonstrating kids with rubber bullets at point blank even though many in GOP will have supported others to do it. You just don't shit on your own doorstep.
I can see mass children demonstrations in the US in the next few weeks.
This is fecking abhorrent. Honestly have no words for this. I don't believe in good vs evil, but this is just borderline, well, evil. I'd like to think it's based on a horrific amount of ignorance, but even then, better to er on the save side?
People in this thread want to talk about this more than Americans. No one has even mentioned it in the office. 
Posted some in the gun control thread the other day. Calling them kids with uninformed brains, attention seeking snowflakes, saying that if they get their wish and guns are gone that they'll live to regret it, and someone saying that the 'weaklings' (calling the kids that) took God, morality and compassion out of schools so those pussies (again, referring to the kids) have to live with what they and their parents produced - finally capping it off with calling the students evil.
Sort of things they retweet: [1][2][3][4][5][6]
There's posters like that on the Cafe, in this thread even.

Same here. Not sure if neutral people are willing to analyse and dissect this more or just apathy has set in. A couple of lines of sympathy on day of incident and that's it.
Jesus that’s a tough read. Easy to think of conspiracy theories as harmless but when they get some momentum they cause real harm, indirectly and directly.
Shame on the cretins who lap them up and share them round.
Democrats, the left, talkshow hosts etc should totally run with this. There's multiple pictures of him wearing his MAGA hat. We all know Donald would be using it all night and day if he could, they should beat and kick him on his own level. No point in "when they go low we go high" if going high means the other side wins and kids are killed.
On a side note: I'd love a journalist to ask Trump how he feels about Nicolas Cruz supporting him in about 9 months time from now. He will have forgotten and the answer would be glorious.
Dinesh D'Souza is a proper scumbag. He's been making fun of the survivors on social media.
The lighter end of conspiracy theorists (like the flat earthers) might be harmless but the Sandy Hook truthers are vile cretins one and all. They deserve every ounce of disgust directed towards them.

Aye, not a single word. Not even in the office gym, where they have TV's showing CNN, MSNBC, and Fox.

Maybe people just don't want to talk to you?
And in the comments you can observe even more horrid people in their natural habitat.
Jesus what a complete scumbag.
He is a convicted felon too
D'Souza is a horrific human being.
Grim.
That seems very low. He gets close to $50,000 from the fecking group.
They will claim its photoshop or its not him. The scumbag Rep. senators are claiming these kids who are speaking out are left-wing activists who have been bought out by the Dems, you dont think they can swing this one?
The Sandy Hook discussion in the Gun Control Thread is one of the only times I've ever genuinely been angry in a Caf argument. Or at least the unamused side of annoyed. The level of sociopathic disassociation it takes to knowingly engage in the slander and harassment of even potentially grieving and traumatised parents, whilst proclaiming to be on the side of righteous altruistic good, is simply beyond me. It's up there with eating baby brains to obtain magical powers as far as incomprehensible attitudes go, for me.
And that's before you even begin to touch on the absurdity of "crisis actors" as a concept.
This is what telling a sub-culture of shut-ins that Fox Mulder was a cool character gets us.

It's exhausting really. Especially my freaking wife s family who voted for the Donnie and get nothing but Fox news to spoon feed them their information. Told them on Valentine s Day that it wasn't the nicest day for the parents of those kids. Silence. Just change of topic. At the office - even tho I know they agree with gun control when you try to bring up the topic you get responses like : oh I don't wanna hear about all that it makes me sick" In essence shutting down any discussion on it because it's too difficult for their emotions or what not. Maddening.People in this thread want to talk about this more than Americans. No one has even mentioned it in the office.
RWNJs run crap daily. I've had to once again correct/notify family members pushing Soros-Nazi memes, Obama-BP-gun photos, Hillary-rape defending, etc. Crap they'll post every so often. Even when called out with facts it's like they don't care, and months later they'll push the same fecking meme again. It does my head in. And that's family members - they're more tolerant and easy to speak with versus genuine assholes and crusaders.
These people are sick. They'll probably now say that the MSD yearbook video is photoshopped

You have to wonder why are they trying so hard to discredit the kids now that the kids want a protest at the White House. Is it the NRA getting their hands dirty?
I doubt the NRA need to do anything. There are millions of Americans who probably believe that this, like Sandy Hook, was a hoax with actors playing roles of students or parents. Every little thing is microanalysed as long as it fits their agenda - such as parents at Sandy Hook 'not crying' so obviously they're just bad actors. They're the kind of people who shout 'fake news' but for stuff like that photo above they spread it without giving it a second thought. Damn libs wanting to take our guns.
Obviously, not everyone in favour of 2A is like that but there's a sizeable number that scream loud enough to try and discredit anything that the MSD students or the parents of the Sandy Hook victims say. Then there are Russian bots in the mix as well.
I'd like to believe there aren't millions of people that ruled by confirmation bias but realistically and sadly, you are probably right. Unfortunately the social media really reinforces people to just take in information that already validates what they think rather than trying to challenge their biases.
