 Frustrated Democrats weigh limited options after Buffalo shooting
by Mike Lillis - 05/21/22 6:30 PM ET

Democrats are scrambling for answers in the wake of the shooting massacre in Buffalo, N.Y., the latest in a string of racist mass killings that have stunned the country, terrified minority communities — and frustrated reform-minded lawmakers who are left scouring for a viable response.

The deadly tragedy in Buffalo, where a lone gunman shot 13 people in a grocery store, 11 of them Black, killing 10, follows on the heels of similar bigoted attacks in Texas and Pittsburgh, where racist gunmen singled out specific ethnic minorities they deemed a threat to white culture and power.

And it’s put Democrats in a familiar position: full of ideas for combating racist violence but lacking the political heft to see most of them through.

While House Democratic leaders this week successfully rushed to pass legislation giving the federal government new tools to combat domestic terrorism, the bill appears to lack the needed Republican support to move through the Senate.

Boy are their options limited, the Blacks may still vote for their masters but they won't tolerate being disarmed by them again, nor will all the Hispanics that they believe they can count on for their vote. The democrats communists are fools if they aren't paying attention to the stats of who is arming themselves, it's not their fairytale White Supremacist bogeyman, it's every race and creed who realize the police aren't there to protect them so they have to be able to protect themselves against criminals on the street and in the government.

What total BS. Democrats "ideas for combating racist violence" is exactly what causes racist violence. They promote it constantly. As far as lacking "political heft", that simply means there's still enough people resisting their racist/totalitarian agenda to hold them back to some degree.
