Lawyers seeking profits and piss poor parenting.
And a societal structure that both does very little to catch piss poor parenting while also guaranteeing that a minimum amount of poor parenting can have large and devastating consequences.
Or parents could parent 😅🤔.
Oy! Before you spew out shit that is frankly disgusting in the context of what happened in Uvalde, maybe think for a split-second about what you’re about to say, eh?
Besides, if a whole nation continues to fail it’s “tired, poor, it’s huddled masses yearning to breathe free”, blaming parents for just not parenting enough is misguided at best and delusional at worst. Do you think parents just don’t give a fuck when their children suffer? Do you think parents will just let their kids down and let them fall into the void that results in school shooters? No. No, they will not. But there is only so much a parent can do if the entire rest of society doesn’t give the slightest of fucks. You don’t have kids, have you?
In the USA, of course it happens and you wonder why people end up using guns to solve their problems. Immerse yourself into a 1st World EU country and watch how the social programs work to help people, which prevent lunatics from developing. For example, maternity leave, some countries have 3 years for each parent. The USA is fucked up in every single direction and it’s all thanks to greed.
Ah yes, because being a good parent and making sure your kid goes to school would’ve certainly prevented them from getting shot at the elementary school 😅🤔.
How do you propose they parent other people’s kids?
This right here. Lack of parenting is the issue . And children in school these days , their mental health is ignored and we let kids graduate despite not meeting requirements. No wonder we have such an issue with disrespect, mental health, and intelligence. We are failing a generation and its now starting to catch up
Maybe they should switch gears and try suing them for motivating basement dwelling armchair Action heroes so they became Uvalde Cops. No wonder they thought they could handle a shooter until shit got real.
I understand they want closure and to prevent this from happening again, but seeing a video game publisher bcz of depictions of guns is a bit of a reach.
There’s research to back this up, video games do not cause violence.
They just want something to blame without actually tackling the real problem, gun control, which will never happen because ‘murica. They’d never get anywhere if they tried.
They voted all the leadership positions for the Uvalde police back in, so voters collectively approved of their actions.
The research is not nearly comprehensive enough to say that a massively popular game franchise does not have a social and political effect on how people view firearms. That’s a massive leap from “gamer kids don’t get into fights at recess more than non-gamers.”
This is a huge stretch and I completely disagree with the premise.
Talk about misdirected anger…
The brakes in my car didn’t work because the car Company bribed the government to not put any regulations in place. Let’s sue those damn breakdancers. It sure must have been because of these breakdancers.
The fact that CoD doesn’t even use real guns/manufacturers anymore makes me think this suit has zero chance. Video games do not cause violence, certainly not more than any other media!
Yeah, without evidence that CoD was intentionally in cahoots with arms manufacturers, this is pretty flimsy.
I do think the case against Daniel Defense is stronger, though. I can see a legitimate argument being made that guns should not be advertised directly at young men, and that firearms shouldn’t be advertised of social media in general.
Uvalde was a tragedy but this has absolutely no merit
it’s interesting how they got to this target as conclusion.
for places that don’t ban guns, every walmart would have them with minimal barriers for buying.
like what steam does for games, maybe it’s because these guns are that easy to acquire to begin with?
I’m not so sure Walmart sells guns any more. They don’t in my area and I live in a very gun friendly area. They just seem to sell air rifles and hunting accessories.
They don’t sell them online, but they do still sell them in stores. They only stopped selling some guns and some types of ammo.
From the horse’s mouth:
Prediction: This will get thrown out almost immediately.
Sorry, wrong target. Sue the cops who didn’t act. Oh, wait. They’re basically untouchable. Well, I guess sue yourselves for having children in America. That’s about the only case you might win.
They did sue the cops.
And the result was… Finish the rest
About 120K per kid.
I assume, paid for by the state out of the general fund, with no impact on police budgets. But I’d love to hear I was wrong.
Insurance, apparently. The parents are also suing each cop individually, and the school district.
Jfc, people are stupid
CoD is propaganda for the MIC and US imperialism, not gun companies.
I find it sad that some lawyer sold them on this suit, while also settling with the police department for peanuts.
The police caused all of the extra pain here, and no studies have ever shown a link to violence from video games.
I have no doubt that Adam Lanza’s obsession with Dance Dance Revolution compelled him to commit the Sandy Hook massacre.
That’s how they get you. Before it was Catcher In The Rye, then it was Helter Skelter. Next it’ll be Kirby’s Return to Dream Land Deluxe!
It’s the tessellation of the splines, I tell you! THE TESSELLATION OF THE SPLINES
