Graphic images of Texas mall shooting spread on Twitter, rekindling debate on how much to share

These images were harder to avoid on the platform, according to some users, in part because they were shared from accounts that had paid to be verified.

Bonnie Scherr "Nice try tho, but nope" made it sound as if he was claiming that most of the left is in fact saying those things. At the very least your grammar is terribly unclear.

You've made the assumption that he meant "all," as in each & every single person who in any way supports left wing politics makes both statements. In reality he's most likely referring to the disagreement within the left on graphic images, which is clearly shown within the article.

In article, a Liberal educator says “It’s time, with the permission of a surviving parent, to show what a slaughtered 7-year-old looks like.”

Then a CNN contributor said “I was shocked that that video and those images stayed on Twitter as long as they did… In a different era of Twitter, they wouldn’t have been circulating, they would have been taken off immediately.”


Federal officials are looking into whether the gunman who killed eight people at a Dallas-area mall expressed an interest in white supremacist ideology Sunday as they work to discern a motive for the attack, a law enforcement official told The Associated Press. The official cautioned the investigation is in its early stages.

Federal agents have been reviewing social media accounts they believe were used by Mauricio Garcia, 33, and posts that expressed interest in white supremacist and neo-Nazi views, said the official, who could not discuss details of the investigation publicly and spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity.

Garcia also had a patch on his chest when he was killed by police that read “RWDS,” an acronym for the phrase “Right Wing Death Squad,” which is popular among right-wing extremists and white supremacy groups, the official said.

Here is MORE Live Updates from ALLEN TEXAS re: The shooting over the weekend.
Here is MORE LIES by CNN on LIVE UPDATES:
NOWHERE in there does it state his GANG TATS. The DRIVEL that follows is what they print instead. There SHOULD be a CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT against them !!
<Potential extremist ties: Authorities are investigating whether the shooter was motivated by right-wing extremism, a senior law enforcement source said. Authorities have not zeroed in on a specific motive, but the source said the shooter was found with an insignia on his clothing that read "RWDS" — an acronym known to watch groups — potentially standing for "Right Wing Death Squad." He also had an extensive social media presence that included neo-Nazi and White supremacist-related posts, according to the official.>
SO rather than calling it a plain HATE CRIME by a HISPANIC, the Hispanic is a Neo Nazi White Supremacist because of a PATCH on his vest ??? That patch COULD have been on there WHEN he bought it !!!


Maybe congressmen and congresswomen should view the graphic images of every mass shooting. They are not allowed to stare at their phones but view the images of what ar-15 and ar-15 style weapons are doing to the citizens of the United States. I believe that citizens can have guns, rifles, shotguns but do not need weapons of mass destruction which those weapons are. Wake up senators and representatives YOU are allowing your constituents to be murdered almost everyday! If some people feel the need to shoot these weapons then set up courses and ranges to similar to the FBI where they can rent them for an hour or two. Not taking anyone’s rights away. Can still go hunting. Just trying to make it safe for children in schools and adults going about their daily life.


One good Samaritan said the little girls face was gone. Maybe those graphic images and pictures are necessary to confront the accepters of this spreading and disturbing gun carnage. Thoughts and prayers are nice but do nothing to stop this. Nothing. Now heaven has 8 more murdered souls. And on another network, a political resident of tx , Mathew dowd said by years end TX will have had 4000 or so gun deaths. Something deeply wrong there. Deeply. And it starts with all those loose gun laws and their governor Abbott. Since 2015, It's out of control, deadly bonkers . Warning, live there at your own risk. These guns are no longer muskets and flint lock pistols.


Do you know that AR in AR15 does NOT stand for Assault Rifle.. Sporterized AR15's, as are legally sold in the US are semi automatic. They shoot what is BASICALLY a .22 cal bullet. There is also a model used for hunting that is bored out for the .308. You cannot burn thru a 30 round mag in 1 sec. It is 1 shot per 1 trigger pull. Unlike what they try to show in movies...
NOW, there are kits sold ON THE BLACK MARKET that will convert to 3rnd burst and full auto. BUT those are ILLEGAL But you can get kits like that for a lot of different rifles and firearms.
Politicians use the AR15 as a gun to ban because THEY KNOW that a lot of people on the right own them. Personally I do not. But I know those that do. When those on the left ban the AR's (ooh, black and scary looking weapon), they will pick the next and the next and so on. They will have a BIG TIME ISSUE with the AR because the LAW ABIDING CITIZEN that owns them for self defense/hunting are NOT the ones doing this.
