This nonsense and bµllsh!t has to stop! I'm tired of the violence and the foolishness. We really do live in a world full of miserable, hurtful and angry people who think violence is the answer to everything. Please, stay safe everyone!

I knew this would happen. This crap is not going to stop and the Republican party are not going to do anything about it. This is so messed up. And Texas again? Wow

It is a white guy! Colour me shocked.

I'm so tired of this sh!t. People have more than enough to worry about. We don't need to worry about crazy white men as well. This is so emotionally draining.

So this is a planned, co - ordinated attack? I know Repubs will still go out of their way to scream mental health problems if the shooters are white.

RIP to any victims

Trumpians are already on Twitter saying don’t blame Trump for this. That guns have always been on the street.

30 people shoot and the suspects are still at large with the potential to shoot and hurt even more people in that area. smh. Kind of got lucky with the last few cases being "false alarms." But, it was only a matter of time before yet another shooting happened in this country.

I read some article the other day that the FBI has stopped at least 40 mass shooters who had plans and this included groups of 2 or 3 people who planned to do something together.

It is just unfathomable that people are this crazy out there.

I hate this for us.

But one thing Dave Chappelle said on his special, there is no peaceful way to get guns from these whites.

They'd rather kill everyone, even their families before they give them up.

It took a while for me to not freak out each time I go somewhere after the El Paso shooting and now I am afraid all over again. What is going on in our state Texas?

They will say that more guns are needed. Yet, even with Texas being a state that has open carry and laxer gun laws, the police are telling people in that area to stay inside and away from the areas of where the shooting happened.

So scary. These keep getting closer and closer to home for me. I already texted all my family in Midland I just hope they find the shooters.
