Rethug Thune says victims have a responsibility to "get small" to avoid gunfire.

https://www.rawstory.com/2017/10/sen-john-thune-blames-shooting-victims-for-failing-to-take-precautions-and-get-small-to-avoid-gunfire/

Sen. John Thune (R-SD) on Tuesday responded to calls for increased gun control after the massacre in Las Vegas by telling reporters that shooting victims had a responsibility to protect themselves from gunfire.

Brave man with all his security and metal detectors. He is vile.

From all accounts, there was no warning here and the shooter did not even need to aim - other than at the huge sea of people. Whether you were hit or whether you were maimed or whether you were not physically injured was not based on anything you consciously did. Is his next advise going to be to be sure to be on the other side of a crowd from the killer?

That VICTIMS have the RESPONSIBILITY when attacked.

That is the sick mindset running this country now and he is flat out telling all of you that you are subjects at the mercy of their shit stain.
