Another lethal school shooting, this one in Texas near Houston, with 10 dead so far<\/a>: <\/p>\n

A male student used a shotgun and a .38 revolver in a shooting spree at a high school in southeast Texas on Friday morning, leaving at least 10 dead \u2014 the majority believed to be students \u2014 and 10 others wounded, the authorities said.<\/span>

<\/span> In what has become a national rite, the authorities arrived en masse at a campus, this time at Santa Fe High School, 35 miles from Houston, as students fled in tears. The suspect, whom the authorities identified as Dimitrios Pagourtzis, 17, appears to have obtained the weapons from his father who legally owned them, Gov. Greg Abbott of Texas said at a news conference.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The shooter is wypipo, so there is no talk of terrorism, despite the fact that he posted Nazi sh%$ online<\/a>.<\/p>\n

You know how it is: Wypipo are never terrorists.<\/p>\n

About the only thing different about this time is that some MAGA loser showed up packing heat and waving a flag<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Trump supporter earned the rebuke of a fellow Second Amendment fan when he brought his open-carry pistol and an American flag to the scene of a school shooting in Santa Fe, Texas<\/a> that resulted in the reported deaths of multiple students. <\/span>

<\/span> When asked what his first thought was upon hearing about the active shooter at Santa Fe High School, the unnamed Trump supporter said he first thought he needed to \u201cget to the school,\u201d and then the phrase \u201cmake America great again.\u201d <\/span>

<\/span> He told a reporter from Houston\u2019s KHOU that he was there \u201coffering support,\u201d and that a \u201cgod bless y\u2019all will go a long way right now.\u201d<\/span>

<\/span> As he walked away, the camera panned to the man\u2019s hip to show that he had a pistol holstered on his belt \u2014 a fact that enraged another resident interviewed by the news station.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I’m not making this up, you know. (Anna Russell abides<\/a>)<\/p>\n

I guess that this is the point where I offer thoughts and prayers, right?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
