Democrats wanting to commit suicide are gunning down people who are not Democrat supporters (kids, Christians, sane people) to firm up the landscape for massive power grabs by their preferred party.

It was a domestic situation, not random.

Sheriff Paul Fitzgerald identified the two women killed in the shooting as 22-year-old Eden Moriah Montang and 21-year-old Vivian Renee Flores. Fitzgerald identified the shooter as 33-year-old Johnathan Lee Whitlatch.

Fitzgerald said the shooting was a domestic incident as Whitlatch and Montang were previously in a relationship. He said Montang had recently broken up with Whitlatch. On May 31, Whitlatch was charged with harassment and posing as a public official by Ames police in a domestic incident. He was scheduled to appear in court on those charges on June 10. Fitzgerald said Montang had a restraining order in place against Whitlatch.

Except in the filthy inner cities... I guess those lives don’t matter; black on black cancels out automatically.

Except for all the black people shot by black people in Chicatopia, one of the most gun restricted places in the country. News blackout on that one.

“Democrats wanting to commit suicide are gunning down people who are not Democrat supporters (kids, Christians, sane people) to firm up the landscape for massive power grabs by their preferred party.”

The problem is you are trying to come up with a rational explanation for irrational behavior.

Evil exists. We don’t need to understand it. We just need to fight it.

I appreciate your enthusiasm and encourage righteous activism.
But in this instance yer about 30 years late to the party and preaching to the choir.
"We" know this. The question is what to do besides what we're already doing. Or should be doing if we've been paying any attention at all over said 30 years.

Well, these killings in our big cities, are mostly members of minority groups killing other minority group members. Much of it is gang related.

Black lives don’t matter when black killers kill other black people.

And the media barely report on all these shootings in our cities. Sadly it’s just a normal weekend in Chicago, when a dozen or more people get shot, and 3 or 4 of victims die.

Perp was out on bond and had a restraining or against him from the victim. Legal system worked really well to protect her, right!? Granting both was it legal for him to have guns. Did, and should, the court have addressed whether he had guns and whether he should temporarily surrender the guns before they let him out?

Only two shot? If the media isn’t careful they might HAVE to start reporting the carnage in Chicago.
