Numerous people were killed, and many more were injured.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">Unsurprisingly, the government has sat on their hands throughout all of this, and gone through the motions of condemning those monsters who would do something like this, and of course, to offer up their <strong>thoughts and prayers<\/strong> for those families affected by these tragedies.\u00a0 But naturally, they have not and will not, do anything about the rampant availability of firearms, because weapon manufacturers are obviously paying these talking heads to continue talking but not much else, while in deep recesses and dark corners throughout America, psychos are amassing large arsenals of military grade weaponry while writing up their manifestos of death while seething over the existence of people unlike them, waiting to hit the boiling point in which they finally decide to enact on their rage and start shooting at innocent people.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\">Honestly?\u00a0 There\u2019s really nothing else to add to this.\u00a0 Mass shootings are nothing new and are ironically a way of American life these days, so frankly I have nothing else to really say that hasn\u2019t already been said by millions of other like-minded Americans who are simply fed up with feeling unsafe in their lives, and feeling like the people running their own country don\u2019t have their backs because they\u2019re looking out for their own self-interests ahead of the people.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Lora; font-size: 12pt;\"><em>hashtagMurica<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In plot A, one classroom in the entire country is chosen, supposedly at random, where the students are pitted against each other in a fight to the death, where only the last one standing is allowed to live.\u00a0 It is sanctioned by the government, and the end result is bloodbath with numerous fatalities and a &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/totfc.net\/?p=46632\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">It\u2019s kind of like Battle Royale, but real<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[176],"class_list":["post-46632","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-brog","tag-murica"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46632","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=46632"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46632\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":46634,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46632\/revisions\/46634"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=46632"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=46632"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=46632"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
