- The body language and words coming out of the "parents" not to mention how fast they all appear to have recovered after their kids were "murdered by guns". They never ever grieve. Always ready to rock with syndicated television hours later. No body confirmation, no funeral, nothing. Just "She was an angel. Everybody loved her. She was my star", shit like that. All fake. All actors. Every one of them tells normies "we need change." or something like that. Immediately going for gun control narrative.
- Police always running around randomly in the clips. They like to make it look busy and like their is an emergency going on. They'll show clips of 20 cops standing around shooting the shit then right next to those cops, two or three 3 cops in a rush to get "somewhere" as if they just got word that another incident is occurring. These guys literally run in circles to make the clips look more intense.
Here is an example-

From 9-12 seconds these cops are running for no reason. The place has been taped and everything is settled. Where are they running to and why? Especially the second pair. These two have been shown in every headline you can think of. Actors. Running around while everyone else including the shit ton of other cops are just chatting. Where are these two degenerates running to? lol
As someone who worked with families that suffered severe trauma like the death of a child, I can confirm that the parents are not going to rush to go on TV - ever. And normal journos don't gang-stalk parents for quotes - it's considered unethical, believe it or not. Also no healthcare worker is going to talk to the news - it is a total violation of patient privacy and likely also HIPAA. So I am always very skeptical of the tv coverage of mass shootings with their long interviews of well-groomed, made up parents. It rings very false.

I know a grief counselor that said the same thing. Their reactions to their own small child being murdered is to go on tv and discuss gun control?
The problem is that people do not stop and think about this shit unless they are looking for it.
They need us to point it out.
My wife and I don't have kids, but we have had dogs who were as dear to us as children are to their parents.
When our first dog died I felt like I was being stabbed in the heart, repeatedly, for several days - a complete mess. It took me two years to start to come to terms with her loss.
Unless these parents are literally inhuman, there's just no way you can just 'go on tv' etc. I still tear up when I try and talk about our dogs sometimes, because the memories are full of emotions that never go away.
Take comfort in knowing that your dog loved you just as much.
Thanks ❤
Yep. That's why I can't stand the Hard Right mentality of "iT's JuSt An AnImAl" this is where I agree with the term "toxic masculinity"
That "just an animal" is in of itself a sacred life. A living, breathing soul. It runs more on instinct than we do, but it is still a life none the less. How we treat that life, even our cows and other food animals DOES MATTER.
That disregard for life is what allows for things like the holocaust and communist genocide. "iT's JuSt An AnImAl" was also used to describe slaves or any group of human that the ruling authority needed or simply wanted to remove.
Our existence is not as simple as religious zealots need it to be.
I'm sorry for your loss.
Thank you.
We'll be here when the time comes. This community is refreshingly supportive of families including pets.
Hopefully you never do have any kids cuz you’re one damaged and fucked up person if you think losing your fucking dog is on the same level as having lost a child. Do you really think that a god damned dog dying is on par with losing a child? On behalf of my spouse, myself and anyone else that’s had to struggle with the loss of their child, FUCK YOU man. I have a dog and two cats that I’m quite fond of, I’d kill all three of them right now for 5 more minutes with my boy.
I'm sorry for your loss, but that doesn't give you the right to hurl abuse at me.
And this right here is exactly what I was talking about. Normally I am supportive of people who lose their children, but your insecurity just made me lose all sympathy for you. Oh you're better than them because you lost a child? No. You're pathetic and insecure and your child is better off.
Yeah. I fucking went there. Do I have your attention now? You made mourning your son, something that should be sacred and beautiful into something extremely toxic with your statement. Who are you to dictate other people's feelings like that? Who are you to hide behind the corpse of your child and lash out like this?
Sounds to me like you need a lesson in truth: all life is sacred ( some both tasty and sacred) and how other people value their pets does not diminish the value you placed in your son (which seems pretty low since you shamelessly used his memory to grandstand). What would he say if he read your comment? How would he feel if he saw you using his memory to put someone down?
I hope this pissed you off, but I also hope in time it brings perspective. They may just be animals to you, but it's not for you to decide what those animals mean to someone else.
