May 19, 2018

One minute later she tweeted:
Kathy Griffin?@kathygriffin
We can’t back down no matter what. The NRA has won in the past because we always move on with our daily lives and they don’t – they focus on their agenda.
Fuck The NRA https://twitter.com/cameron_kasky/status/997498409723531264 …

The NRA owns you. You don’t take simple, logical steps to save lives because you want their money. You are an evil man. https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump/status/997493407097524224 …

Modern Family executive producer Danny Zuker responded by telling calling Cruz a “worm” and telling him to “eat sh*t.” He then demanded more gun control:
Danny Zuker?@DannyZuker
Please eat all of the shit, you worm! Children’s blood is on YOUR hands. Gun control saves lives. We’ve seen that proven all over the world but I guess kids’ lives aren’t as important as money. I hope that hell you always preach about exists. No doubt you’ll find yourself there. https://twitter.com/sentedcruz/status/997476331398074371 …
Conan O’Brien’s sidekick Andy Richter responded to President Trump giving remarks about the shooting, saying, “Who is he really with, though? The shooters or the ones who get shot?”

Parkland gun control activist gun control activist Cameron Kasky responded to news of the shooting by tweeting:
Cameron Kasky?@cameron_kasky
At least 8 students have been shot and killed at Santa Fe High School.
Prepare to watch the NRA boast about getting higher donations.
Prepare to see students rise up and be called ‘civil terrorists’ and crisis actors.
Prepare for the right-wing media to attack the survivors.
Kasky’s tweet overlooks the fact that the record-breaking increase in NRA donations following the Parkland shooting was the result of an untold number of Americans rejecting the gun control push, including the gun campaign launched by Parkland students, Hollywood celebrities, and the establishment media.
It should be noted that the Santa Fe High School shooting also involved bombs. The Houston Chronicle quotes quotes a “senior law enforcement official” who said the suspected attacker “threw pipe bombs all in [the school].” The official said they have not confirmed if any of the bombs detonated.

One group says common sense gun safety laws can save lives as they have in countless other countries. The other group (NRA, Repubs) say nothing can be done so just pray. Maybe it’s time to give the first group a chance? https://twitter.com/joshtpm/status/997518154766147585 …
