YouTube and Reddit are sued for allegedly enabling the racist mass shooting in Buffalo that left 10 dead::The complementary lawsuits claim that the massacre in 2022 was made possible by tech giants, a local gun shop, and the gunman’s parents.

      Go take a political litmus test of every gang member in the US and see how many are conservatives.

      Active shooters make a drop in the pale comparatively, they’re just the ones the media focuses on because it’s the narrative they prefer.

        You really don’t see why the media would focus on a random mass killing instead of 2 scumbags shooting at each other over drugs? Weird.

          2? More like thousands. If guns are the problem, then guns are the problem. We don’t need to focus on specific gun crime when those crimes are once again a drop in the bucket.

          That’s why it’s weird.

            Guns are indeed the problem. As every other developed nation shows.

            Why people still claim the US is developed beats me, they belong in the same line as Brazil and Mexico (no offence Brazilians and Mexicans)

        Learn the difference between the concept of one who enables the crime, and one who commits the crime.

        If you’re having a hard time understanding how our law handles such a thing:

        Read up on a guy named Charles Manson. Then delete your dumb shit.
