Why don't you want to count Canada?  Is it the same reason you're not going to want to count this one ...

17. Old enough to remember we had ZERO. Columbine which was the first and a unique tragedy. Now it is the norm. Thanks NRA

Yeah, I don't think you can blame the NRA for this one.  It was a looney tune man pretending to be a woman.  That's not the NRA, and this is becoming a very growing problem!  Until you stop celebrating these people and calling them 'brave', and start treating them like the mentally ill people they are, this is going to get worse.

He might have had TDS, but that isn't the cause of the shooting.

At a late-night news conference, Pawtucket Police Chief Tina Goncalves said Dorgan also went by the name “Roberta,” and court documents show his gender identity played a role in multiple family disputes over recent years.

In early 2020, Dorgan went to the North Providence Police Department and reported he had recently undergone gender-reassignment surgery and that his father-in-law wanted him out of their North Providence home because of it.

-snip-

Around the same time, Dorgan’s then-wife Rhonda Dorgan filed for divorce. Under grounds for divorce, Rhonda initially wrote, “gender reassignment surgery, narcissistic + personality disorder traits.” Those reasons were then crossed out and replaced with “irreconcilable differences which have caused the immediate breakdown of the marriage.”

The divorce was finalized in June 2021, court records show.

Yeah, he was living in his dad and mom in law's house.  Mentally ill loser.

I wish Roberta had killed herself first instead of after shooting her family

Ah DU, you never fail to ... fail.

Apparently the father had well known mental health issues, and strife with his family.

And somehow - he was allowed to have guns.

Maybe DUmmie orleans should take this up with Harmeet Dhillon and Kash Patel.

And how presumptions of you to suggest that they are "boys"? Perhaps they identify as wimmen?

Is that Larry Sinclair lying next to B.H.O.?

I cannot seem to explain how to extract support monies to you.

As stupid as this UpinArms DUmbAss is, I have to wonder how it remembers to breathe without some sort of memory cards or some such.

I'm beginning to think that some of the DU members aren't there because of their political beliefs. I think that some of them actually realize that they are stupid and are at DU as kind of a confidence builder. At DU, whenever their stupidity gets them to feeling down, they can point to DUers like UpinArms and say, "I may be too stupid to poor piss out of a boot with the instructions on the sole, but at least I'm not as stupid as UpinArms".
