Unconscionable...eh?

Teens video drowning.

A terrible and disturbing incident...no doubt. Makes ya just shake your head.

And there are already thousands of comments and posts all over the web blogs, forums, and comments sections of news pages on this despicable behavior. Many, if not most of them by those on the right...ready to jump on this story with both feet to decry what this country has become under Obama, and how they could never just stand by and watch someone die.

And I say...No way you could stand by, eh? Really...no way you could just stand by and watch someone die? Well listen up assholes, because all this is, is just the street version of Trumpcare, and these "kids" are just street versions of Congressional Republicans, who will happily pull health care coverage out from under 32 million Americans, and just stand there and watch 45,000 of them die every year as they were before the ACA. Dying for no reason other than the lack of decent health care coverage, just as the politicians, and those who voted for them stood there and watched them dying for decades before the passage of Obamacare.

How very Libertarian, Ayn Rand and Rand Paul (coincidence? We think not) would approve.

Pretty sad statement about this smart phone generation. And Florida's approval of this sort of thing.

I'm guessing their rearing had most to do with it.

Lets' not forget the tens of thousands of people who die of gun deaths in this country every year while republicans continue to insist that every crazy in the country has a right to own an uzi. Your point sir is spot on.
