Different victims.
Different shooters.
Different states.
Different reasons.
Same outcome: An epidemic of "accidental" shootings has erupted, because our society has devolved to the point where the answer to any and all uncertainty is to start shooting. Three young people have been shot in the past week because they chose the wrong door, driveway, and car.
- Ralph Yarl, 16 years old, was attempting to pick up his twin brothers and ended up at the wrong address in Kansas City, Missouri. After ringing the doorbell, he was shot by Andrew Lester, 84, in the head through the door. Lester then opened the door and shot him again while he was on the floor. He has been released from the hospital.
- Kaylin Gillis, 20, was shot dead after her friend pulled into the wrong driveway in upstate New York, and Kevin Monahan, 65, started blasting before words had even been exchanged and nobody left the vehicle. She was shot as the car was leaving, and died before reaching a hospital.
- Payton Washington, an 18-year-old cheerleader, was shot after she and her friend accidentally got into the wrong car in an Elgin, Texas parking lot. Pedro Tello Rodriguez, Jr. shot her and her friend multiple times, and the cheerleader is in critical condition at the hospital.
In a shoot-first, ask-questions-later society that believes more guns are the answer to everything, these incidents are bound to increase unnecessarily.
Drop a 💙 if you agree this is MADNESS.
JUST IN: The family of Tyre Nichols, who died following a beating by officers, files a federal lawsuit against the city of Memphis and its police department.

Justin Jones and Justin Pearson will be stars within the Democratic party and Gen Z voters will be the worst nightmare for the GOP come 2024, as they help preserve our democracy.
Short term gains by the GOP in Tennessee will ultimately lead to generational losses. Short term losses for these two young, intelligent, men will ultimately lead them both to change the nation for the better.
Smash the ❤️ if you want to see Democrats PASS their bill in the House requiring 18-year term limits for U.S. Supreme Court Justices.
Let's send Clarence Thomas into early retirement.

This is Justin Jones. Tennessee Republicans just voted to expel him from the House because he protested against gun violence. Young people are watching. The world is watching. Republicans are going to regret this and pay the consequences. We stand with you, Rep. Jones.
Justin Jones of Tennessee is an American hero.
If Republicans in the TN House can expel fellow members of the opposition party simply for protesting gun violence, then surely Democrats in the US House should be able to expel members of Congress for taking part in or aiding an insurrection, right?
Just imagine the GOP outrage if Democrats tried to do just half of what Republicans actually do.
- Child molestation
- Domestic violence
- Corruption
Those are issues that DO NOT rise to the level of expulsion from Congress in Tennessee.
But protesting gun violence after a deadly mass shooting can get Reps Gloria Johnson, Justin Jones and Justin Pearson expelled.
I stand with the #TennesseeThree. ✊
HOLY SHIT! Senate Judiciary Chair Dick Durbin is about to put the smackdown on SCOTUS Justice Clarence Thomas after revelations that he's been accepting luxury gifts from Republican donors and not disclosing them.
"Supreme Court Justices must be held to an enforceable code of conduct, just like every other federal judge. The ProPublica report is a call to action, and the Senate Judiciary Committee will act," Senator Durbin vowed.
IMPEACH CORRUPT CLARENCE THOMAS!
I dreamed of a music career my entire life. From orchestra in Elementary School, to Jazz Band in Middle, & Marching Band in HS. I dreamed of signing to a label and one day playing Warped Tour. Did all of that and never smiled as big as dancing in the kitchen with my daughter.
This was Gen Z earlier today in Wisconsin. They just flipped the state Supreme Court from conservative to liberal in a massive victory for abortion rights. (h/t @Lnsciales)
