The girls father tackled this asshole while he was trying to shoot again and he shot himself in the eye. That's why he's all stitched up.
Jesus H. Christ... This dude walked up to a little girl and shot her in the head right in front of her father. What a fucking monster.
- This is who Conservatives in the United States want to protect. They think guns are the answer to all their problems. It is very sad.
  
  If the dad had a gun he could have shot the shooter after his child was murdered. See, it just takes a good guy with a gun to make more bodies!
See people say don't judge a book by its cover, but this asshole looks exactly how I imagined he'd look....
How can someone do this.... It's beyond me
- We need social programs to support mental illness. And better laws to restrict gun ownership so we aren't providing guns to unstable people.
  
  But both options were constantly shot down by GOP for the past two decades.
  
  So we still have school shootings and apparently dead kids is a small price to pay for FREEDOM.
  
  Other people's dead kids. They never think it will happen to their kids because they're kept safe by daddy's hero fantasies or robotic devotion to statistics.
  
  Of course, it does happen to their kids.
  
  Occasionally it happens to their kids because they indiscriminately arm the far-right, who then get upset nobody will give them hand jobs, so decide to indiscriminately fire in to crowds of people.
  
  But mostly it happens because their children kill themselves with daddy's guns, that they were probably taught at an early age how to load and fire because that's what "responsible gun owners" crow about doing.
Read that the girls mom was shot and killed a while earlier. Just crazy. Feel horrible for that family.
He looks like a retired Bond villain that stopped exercising.
That is fucking horrible... Single dad who lost his wife to gun violence as well.
- That’s what gets me so much. Five years ago the mom was killed by random gun violence, and now the daughter.
