… for the Easter meal.

Well, let’s see. Did he successfully keep the fact that he was a mentally ill violence-loving fascist from her?
And that’s only criminal. She’s about to be sued like crazy in civil court.
Two billionaires love Giacometti
It’s made them behave rather petty
As suits follow suits
Between rich greedy brutes
The sick’ning tableau is perfetti
A fellow student recalls their Little Hitler. The same ex-member went on to become a mass murderer. “I remember thinking this man should not have access to firearms,” another classmate tells a reporter. But “what are you supposed to do?”
Yeah, we’re talking Florida, where there’s a stigma attached to not having a gun.
Hint: Not really peaceful.
Few states make it as easy to put firepower in the hands of drunk/inept/suicidal 21 year olds.
No one’s saying exactly how a star football player at Missouri State did himself in (sounds like suicide to me), but however it happened, the state certainly did its part in making sure this young’un was fully equipped to get dead.
Hey, babe, not to worry.
Whole thing was a false flag operation anyway.
Mentally disturbed, as expected, with a parent who seems to have thought access to guns was just what the doctor ordered.
A reactionary gunfucker who openly broadcast violent views.
Exactly the age and gender at highest risk for blowing everyone away in a public setting.
****************
Yeah, I know. What are we spozed to do about it, UD? Arrest and hold all nutty young male reactionary gunfuckers?
Well, we can at least prosecute and jail the degenerates who allow these incredibly dangerous people access to guns.
Go here for an earlier post.
He gave himself the name Phoenix in 2020; he was born Christian Gunnar Eriksen. He has always had developmental and psychological problems, not helped by three nutty parents fighting about him for years.
‘“I don’t think it’s a nuisance,” he said.
The laughter from the audience following that comment temporarily paused the hearing.’

It isn’t just communities having to fight gun ranges down the street; more importantly, it’s the faith of the gun range owner that daily life permeated by shattering machine gun fire is fine, akin to the ordinary fact of traffic noise. He expects the rest of us to share his faith in the great god Gun, that this god be constantly in our ears. He expects us to sacrifice our peace of mind to that god. Guns in America are the universal god, with us always, blasting away.
After Sandy Hook, Gary Wills wrote:
We guarantee that crazed man after crazed man will have a flood of killing power readily supplied him. We have to make that offering, out of devotion to our Moloch, our god. The gun is our Moloch. We sacrifice children to him daily. … The gun is not a mere tool, a bit of technology, a political issue, a point of debate. It is an object of reverence… Adoration of Moloch permeates the country, imposing a hushed silence as he works his will. One cannot question his rites, even as the blood is gushing through the idol’s teeth. … We are required to deny that there is any connection between the fact that we have the greatest number of guns in private hands and the greatest number of deaths from them. Denial on this scale always comes from or is protected by religious fundamentalism… [T]he Supreme Court has been cowed, reversing its own long history of recognizing that the Second Amendment applied to militias. Now the court feels bound to guarantee that any every madman can indulge his “religion” of slaughter… So let us celebrate the falling bodies … as a demonstration of our fealty, our bondage, to the great god Gun.
Our constant mass murders are religious events, ritual reenactments of the sacrificial blood we offer the great god Gun. Each massacre – today’s, tomorrow’s – prompts this prayer: O Lord, make us truly worthy of this our sacrifice for your bloody majesty.
American universities should have drills on what to do when there isn’t an active shooter on campus.

Says here they’ve arrested someone. Four people are being treated in hospitals.
Let’s see if we can’t draw a picture of the shooter. Male. Very young, like 19. Psychotic, has been undergoing treatment for years. Name either excruciatingly Mayflower (Randolph Higginbottom The Fourth) or way ethnic (Alfredo Ibn Gandhi).

You remember, right? The last shooting at FSU?
****************
[A] student who lived through the Parkland shooting entered [a room where students were sheltering]. “He was like, ‘Man, I never thought this would happen again.'”
******************
*******************
Hoping against hope this is inaccurate: Five dead, four injured. Two shooters, one of them dead.
***************
Thinking of that gun billboard on the streets of Oakland. Suggested slogan: USE IT TO KILL EVERYONE BECAUSE YOU HATE THE WORLD.
*******************
“[N]ormal college dude” … a white man with light hair, wearing an orange t-shirt and khaki shorts.
********************
Apparently the five dead/two shooters report is incorrect.

I was off by one year: The tyke was just 20. I was right about the funny name: Phoenix Ikner. His parents – they’re in law enforcement and have mucho guns at home, very convenient for their troubled son – gave him [I’ve corrected this; see a later post on Ikner] that wondrous, grandiloquent first name, regarding their babe I guess as a great beautiful mythic bird reborn from its own ashes. They probably didn’t anticipate that he’d reduce everyone around him to ashes. Maybe they were blinded by that name; maybe, less blinded, they would have made an effort to keep him away from guns. They may face prosecution.
