Parkland Survivor: ‘I’ve Never Been So Unimpressed By A Person’ After Trump Call (HuffPo)
quote:
President Donald Trump has spoken to and met with several survivors and family members of victims of last week’s school shooting in Parkland, Florida. Not all of them were happy to hear from him.

Samantha Fuentes, a senior at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School― where a former student killed 17 people after opening fire on the campus― was at the hospital when the president called her. Fuentes, who was shot twice, told the New York Times that the president “didn’t make me feel better in the slightest.”

“He said he heard that I was a big fan of his, and then he said, ‘I’m a big fan of yours too.’ I’m pretty sure he made that up,” she told the Times. “Talking to the president, I’ve never been so unimpressed by a person in my life.”

En ondertussen loopt het Buro voor Alcohol, Tabak en Fuurwapens (ATF) verder en verder achter...

The ATF Is Getting Crushed Under The Weight Of The Gun Industry
quote:
The U.S. gun industry has grown explosively over the past decade, leaving the federal agency responsible for regulating it, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, struggling to keep up with the rising flow of guns into the civilian market. And if the ATF stumbles, it could mean serious consequences for public safety.

Production at U.S. gun companies more than doubled under the Obama administration, with manufacturing totals going from 5.5 million firearms in 2009 to 11.5 million in 2016, the latest year for which federal data are available. Gun sales appeared to go up by similar margins over that period. At the same time, the number of federally licensed gun dealers increased by about 9,000, topping out at 56,754 in 2016, while the number of federally licensed firearms manufacturers more than tripled, according to the ATF.

“As an organization, personnel wise, ATF is smaller than the Broward County Sheriff’s department, which would be law enforcement in the Miami area,” said David Chipman, a former ATF agent who now serves as senior policy adviser for the Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence. “The last aircraft carrier cost $13 billion, so that’d be like 10 years of ATF budgets.”

Nieuwe districtenverdeling Pennsylvania is "beter dan we durfden hopen" (NYTimes)
quote:
Few people expected that the Pennsylvania congressional map, which the state Supreme Court ordered redrawn to undo Republican gerrymandering, would prove to be as favorable to Democrats as the one adopted by the court on Monday.

Perhaps the easiest way to convey the cause for surprise: The new map is better for Democrats — by nearly every measure — than the maps that Democrats themselves proposed.

All four Democratic map proposals reflected an earnest effort to reach a compromise with Republicans. Democrats did not believe it was realistic to demand a truly favorable map, since it would require a series of Democratic-leaning choices. And the court order did not specify that the maps should aim for partisan balance, which might have justified a more Democratic map.

But apparently, a more favorable map was quite realistic; after all, it is now a reality, one that gives a significant boost to Democratic hopes of retaking the House. It’s a reality because the newly adopted map consistently makes subtle choices that nudge districts in the direction of Democrats.

Wat ze in Needville (TX) kennelijk nog niet doorhebben...

De Texaanse Needville High School zette zichzelf dinsdag wereldwijd op de kaart door protesterende studenten te zullen schorsen. Hun Facebookpagina is sindsdien nog steeds stuk. :P En, oja, het mág helemaal niet.
quote:
Superintendent threatens to suspend students protesting gun laws. But that’s not legal. (WaPo)

The superintendent of a Texas public school district is drawing harsh criticism after issuing a written threat Tuesday to suspend any students who take part in demonstrations about gun violence after the school shooting in Florida last week.

Curtis Rhodes, the superintendent of the school district in Needville, a small town southwest of Houston, wrote a letter to students and parents that was distributed Tuesday on the social media page for the town’s high school. It began with a reference to the protests around the country after a shooting in Parkland, Fla., left 17 people dead.

“Please be advised that the Needville ISD will not allow a student demonstration during school hours for any type of protest or awareness!!” Rhodes wrote. “Should students choose to do so, they will be suspended from school for 3 days and face all the consequences that come along with an out of school suspension. Life is all about choices and every choice has a consequence whether it be positive or negative. We will discipline no matter if it is one, fifty, or five hundred students involved.”

Rhodes — a registered Republican, according to public records — said parental notes would make no difference. “Respect yourself,” Rhodes wrote, “and please understand that we are here for an education and not a political protest.”

Meer mijn straatje: Trump geeft ook even de schuld aan games dat ze geweld veroorzaken.

https://kotaku.com/trump-(...)tm_medium=Socialflow

quote:
Today during a meeting on school safety at the White House, U.S. President Donald Trump suggested that violent video games are partly responsible for school shootings.

His train of thought was hard to follow—as it often is—so here’s the full comment:

“We have to look at the internet, because a lot of bad things are happening to young kids and young minds, and their minds are being formed, and we have to do something about maybe what they’re seeing and how they’re seeing it. And also video games. I’m hearing more and more people say the level of violence on video games is really shaping young people’s thoughts. And you go one further step and that’s the movies. You see these movies, and they’re so violent, a kid is able to see the movie if sex isn’t involved, but killing is involved, and maybe we need to put a rating system for that.”

Blaming video games for gun violence isn’t anything new for Trump who, after the Sandy Hook shooting in 2012, tweeted, “Video game violence & glorification must be stopped—it is creating monsters!” His comments also echo those made by other Republican politicians, including the governor of Kentucky, who said last week on a radio talk show that violent video games were responsible for desensitizing people to the value of human life. It’s a familiar scapegoat many of us have been hearing for decades, one which often acts like a smokescreen to deflect responsibility away from the Second Amendment and lax gun laws.

The last major attempt to try and regulate violent video games came in the form of a 2005 California law backed by then Democratic assemblyman Leland Yee. It sought to criminalize the sale of violent games to minors, but was blocked from taking effect when groups like the ESA and Entertainment Merchants Association sued. The law was then eventually eventually shot down by the Supreme Court which found that it violated the First Amendment.

Overigens moet opgemerkt worden dat je in de VS wel klaar bent voor het echte werk wanneer je zeventien bent (je kan in de VS dan al het leger in met toestemming van je ouders) maar games zoals Call of Duty moet je achttien voor zijn. Maar games veroorzaken natuurlijk veel meer trauma's en maken kinderen agressiever dan een echte oorlog :')

Rick Gates, Trump Campaign Aide, to Plead Guilty in Mueller Inquiry and Cooperate

quote:
A former top adviser to Donald J. Trump’s presidential campaign indicted by the special counsel was expected to plead guilty as soon as Friday afternoon, according to two people familiar with his plea agreement, a move that signals he is cooperating with the investigation into Russia’s interference in the 2016 election.

The adviser, Rick Gates, is a longtime political consultant who once served as Mr. Trump’s deputy campaign chairman. The plea deal could be a significant development in the investigation — a sign that Mr. Gates plans to offer incriminating information against his longtime associate and the former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, or other members of the Trump campaign in exchange for a lighter punishment.

The deal comes as the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, has been raising pressure on Mr. Gates and Mr. Manafort with dozens of new charges of money laundering and bank fraud that were unsealed on Thursday. Mr. Mueller first indicted both men in October, and both pleaded not guilty.

Mr. Gates’s primary concern has been protecting his family, both emotionally and financially, from the prospect of a drawn-out trial, according to a person familiar with his defense strategy who was not authorized to publicly discuss the case and spoke on the condition of anonymity.

Die zal wel verkeerd advies hebben gegeven waarna Mueller besloot met nog een paar decennia extra celstraf te dreigen.

Gates praat ---> Dan is Manaforf de lul ---> Manafort wil niet de lul zijn. ---> Manafort gaat praten. ---> Mensen boven Manafort kunnen de lul zijn. ---> verkoop van zakken chips stijgt....

Dat Mueller genoeg bewijs heeft om die twee lang op te sluiten lijkt me duidelijk.
