but DAYUM, that's funny.

Sad thing is, if it WERE to be Kyle he'd probably be hailed as a hero (again) for saving a bad band inflicting harm on innocent Americans (well, I'm guessing that's the defense Rudy would use in defending him.......).

OK, seriously, NONE of this is funny - but the way things are going here NOTHING is any more......

In the immediate aftermath of a deadly mass shooting while the shooter is at large, ILGOP nominee for Governor Darren Bailey goes on Facebook to offer prayers for families & police, voices frustrations about a canceled parade, and then says, “Let’s move on and celebrate freedom.”


Celebrate freedom? WHAT freedom? If you're talking about the freedom to go out and sbout and come home alive, that's pretty much nonexistent now. And don't get me started on the freedom women have lost in many parts of this country, to be in charge of their own bodies and make decisions about what's best for themselves. 😠😡🤬

Especially since YOU, Mr. Bailey, have talked about how you'd like to take away the above-mentioned fredoms from Illinois women if you are, gods forbid, ever elected governor. And I'm not buying that crap you recently spouted about no longer supporting a complete ban on abortion. (https://wgnradio.com/chicagos-afternoon-news/darren-bailey-says-he-no-longer-supports-a-complete-abortion-ban/; go to 11:07 to hear what he says about abortion)

In short, go to hell, Darren Bailey. You are the last thing this state needs, and I look forward to watching you go down in flames 4 months from now.

This mentally ill mother fucker did not even do the right thing in the end which would have been to kill himself.
Edit .... I am not blaming the mental illness as much as I am blaming our system that lets people like
this buy assault weapons.



I bet ya he bought the assault rifle legally too. What part of "a well regulated militia" was he in?

Fuck the NRA!
