Last image before the twitch video stream cut and gunshots are heard is a laser sight appearing on the chest of a smiling kid playing a video game

God bless America

Gee golly someone should probably initiate a conversation about mental health that will lead to the obvious conclusion that having 25 million Americans with no health care at all is the answer.

Ugh. No way I'm listening to the audio. Seeing the kid with the laser on his chest knowing he'd be dead in a few seconds is chilling enough for me.

An LA Times reporter got an account from someone there who said the shooter lost his game earlier. WTF.

Picture is gut-wrenching. Kid was just having a great time playing some Madden.

So are we at the point to abreviate it to T&P yet? Or can we get a thoughts and prayers emoji?

Rick Scott is going to win a statewide race

Florida is the perfect GOP mix of rich white olds and poor white racists (and voter suppression schemes, of course)

Yeah I was really hoping on the massive influx of Puerto Rican’s to save it. But polls how they aren’t voting as much as I thought they would. Not sure they know they can.

Apparently the shooter was pissed because he got schooled at Madden. Man, I've definitely had a few Heated Gaming Moments trying to beat Dark Souls 3, but I can't imagine going off and shooting a bunch of people over it.
