Poll question: Does our murdering president inspire mass shootings
Its getting pretty sad when there's a mass killing a week in the news.

2. I hate to say it, but it is to be expected.
The current administration is driving good people over the edge. People get to the point of frustration and then they snap. No jobs, no health insurance, no Social Security and loved ones being sent to the other side of the globe in a criminal endeavor are just a few of the root causes. If people didn't care they wouldn't react so violently to situations that affect them so deeply, situations they have no control over. A good government is supposed to protect. A bad government will oppress.

3. These things happened during Bill Clinton's presdeincey too.
A nutcase or SOB doesn't care who is president.

Just look at the worst mass murder prior to 9-11.
(Oklahoma City.)

4. it seems more frequent now
or maybe its because theres been two mass shootings in WI and one in MN... I moved to WI from the south side of Chicago partly to get away from crime.

did at the same point in presidencies.

6. In this latest shooting, there might be a connection.
....I believe I heard somewhere that the kid's mother was brain damaged and confined to a nursing home. What if the Schiavopalooza coverage - or maybe an argument with his grandparents inspired by it - is what caused him to snap?

Granted, it's a stretch to blame the Chimp for this, but he's been responsible for so many deaths already as it is.
