Tim Walz has said he’s “sick and tired of hearing about thoughts and prayers” following the Apalachee High School shooting in Georgia, which left four dead.

Walz, who was named as Kamala Harris’ running mate in the race for the White House in August, spoke about the Wednesday (4 September) shooting at a campaign rally at the Highmark Amphitheater in Erie, Pennsylvania on Thursday.

He told his supporters: “We believe in the freedom to send our kids to school without being shot dead in the hall.”

“The news cycle moves on within a day,” he commented of the incident, adding that kids had returned to school feeling excited and “now we have four dead”.

    no better indicator that prayer doesn’t work then the fact that there’s a new school shooting almost every day after republicans do a new thoughts and prayers.

        It’s just so evil, do they think we are dumb and can’t just look up how other countries with better gun control are doing? What do they say when they are asked about that?

          do they think we are dumb and can’t just look up how other countries with better gun control are doing?

          They think we are lazy and won’t do that. And they’re largely right.

        Worse, they don’t actually think it works. They just care about the NRA’s blood money more than the lives of your children. THEIR children are in private schools with procedures in place to prevent this from happening.

      No see, if we have bible studies in school, that would turn all the bad students good because teenagers are known for being very receptive to religion. Just ask Reddit!

      (I’m being sarcastic as fuck)
