MODERATORS
Can't wait to hear them say "well he donated $5 to the democratic party 10 eyars ago"
They’re asking if he was on anti-depressants. Everyone else is a murderer, terrorist, what have you. When it’s one of theirs? Just a misguided kid on SSRIs.
Contrast with keying a car and being labeled a terrorist. By scratching a cybertruck, you become an enemy of the state—something a republican school shooter could never dream of.

He once made a tweet that vaguely criticised a Conservative figure. wOkE aGeNdA KiLLs AgAIn
Or they find a post where he said something nice about Bernie Sanders.
Young white men are being indoctrinated with 24/7 propaganda telling them they are the real victims

This is a weird way for me to find out about another shooting
It wasn't as bad as some (2 dead, 6 injured).
He originally started with a shotgun but it jammed without firing a shot. He grabbed a pistol from his vehicle and fired into the bystanders.
Police were on scene quickly (FSU is always crawling with plain clothes officers and unmarked cars) and shot and wounded the shooter.
Oh, what a fucked up world we live in that we see a school shooting as “not so bad, all things considered”…
It's only "not so bad" in America.
'No Way to Prevent This,' Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens
There is a really fucked up silver lining to this which is every nation not the USA can point to the USA whenever someone wants to loosen gun regulations. In a twisted way the US might be helping other nations by being such a "good" (bad) example.

If that happened in my country it would be huge news and all anyone in the country would talk about for weeks.

That pistol he grabbed from the vehicle...
...was his Mom's old service pistol.
His Mom was a school resource officer and later deputized into the Leon County Sheriffs.
https://www.newsweek.com/fsu-shooter-leon-county-deputy-phoenix-jessica-ikner-2061301
In a news conference hours after the first reports of the active shooting were announced, Leon County Sheriff Walt McNeil identified the suspect.
"The shooter is 20-year-old Phoenix Ikner ... and he is the son of a Leon County sheriff's deputy," McNeil said.
...
According to Revell during the news conference, Jessica Ikner [the shooter's mother] is a school resource officer in Leon County. The county sheriff's office website lists her as a "middle schools deputy."
Deputy Ikner was awarded law enforcement employee of the month in March 2024, the sheriff's office posted on Facebook.
...
[The Shooter] was "a long-standing member" of the Leon County Sheriff's Office Youth Advisory Council, McNeil said during the news conference.
"He has been steep in the Leon County Sheriff's Office Family," McNeil said, adding that it is "not a surprise" that Ikner had access to weapons.

Phoenix Ikner, a 20-year-old son of a sheriff’s deputy whom police accuse of using his mother’s gun, is in police custody after being identified as a suspect in a shooting on Florida State University’s campus Thursday, which killed two people and injured at least six others.
...
Jessica Ikner, a beloved Raa Middle School student resource deputy, was the 2023 law enforcement officer of the year with the Leon County Sheriff’s Office.
She also practiced shooting with her stepson, Phoenix, at a firing range, but “not in an official capacity,” according to LCSO.
...
Yeah so this guy was trained to shoot by his armed-with-a-firearm, middle school guard / county deputy mom, and he then took his mom's service pistol to shoot up his own school/uni.
I can't find more details on the shotgun, but it could also be the case that that is or was a service weapon as well... but that is barely informed speculation on my part, I just know that a lot of US cops also have a shotgun in their cruiser.

I was recently thinking it's says a lot about a culture, where kids shoot up schools regularly, but immigrants getting a terrible treatment never seem to shoot up an ICE office or other government building.
I think both are part of the same culture to be honest, they are just in very different positions both pushed to an extreme situation (the kids shooting up schools and the government officials threating immigrants like crap). Personally I believe you get what you give and this is the result of a society that is getting what it has been giving (or not giving, really). Really sad situation where a lot of people get way less than they deserve (the parents of the killed kids, the children of the deported families etc)
People in US culture want to think this is a product of white christian men getting hurt and isolated to the point that the poor innocent souls wander into committing a school shooting.
The negative mental health is only part of the equation and isn't even critical to it, what IS critical is teaching christian white men that they have the inherent right given who they are to commit violence and nobody else does.
This is why you see that "incongruity".

Who could have seen this coming
“He’s just a bad apple”
“Lone wolf”
“Let’s talk about mental health”
"Okay, what can we do for mental health?"
"Nothing or genocide/restablish the patriarchy, fuck you lib"
"We need Jesus in schools!"
No joke, I've heard people say that exact thing in response. That taking God out of schools is what started all this, so if there was more prayer in school, we wouldn't have shootings.
Yeah, because nobody does mass shootings in religious places.

And his mom is a police officer.
And he used one of her unsecured guns.
In a system where we want to discourage this we need to hold the parents accountable.
I think a life sentence for each life her son took is fair, for her and her son.
irresponsible gun owning parents, who literally put firearms into the hands of their homicidal children, need to be held accountable for these tragedies.
dozens of mass shootings in recent years, especially school shootings, were absolutely preventable. if only these fucking lazy stupid ass adults would stop fetishizing guns for 2 seconds, long enough to store their weapons securely like a sane responsible person. or they could, idk, maybe steer their mentally disturbed crotch goblin towards a more pro-social, harmless activity?
firearm ownership is a responsibility too few take seriously.

Weird how that keeps happening.
I want to stress that it has absolutely nothing, I repeat, nothing at all to do with gun "culture" and easy access to guns.
Nothing at all. Promise!

Curious that this is still happening even though Musk has killed the woke mind virus and these guys have won forever.
