300+ mass shootings but according to Tucker Carson, women and weed are major causes. In Uvalde, trigger-pulling by cops failed. In Highland Park, not one cop returned fire. Because women caused all this?
x Republicans Iike Tucker Carlson are blaming women, anti-depressants and weed for mass shootings now.

x Tucker: The authorities in their lives, mostly women, never stop lecturing them about their so-called male privilege. A lot of young men in America are going nuts. Are you surprised? A shockingly large number have been prescribed psychotropic drugs. pic.twitter.com/bB9Nb4CHQ1 — Acyn (@Acyn) July 6, 2022
x Conservatives' masculinity panic has been a constant as far back as we care to look, back to Antiquity. Tucker Carlson's version of shrewish harpies feminizing men is straight out of a misogynist '50s comedy, either the 1950s or the 350s BCE.

A gunman killed seven people and wounded dozens more during a Fourth of July celebration in Highland Park, Ill., on Monday.
It was one of several shootings on the holiday around the United States, according to the Gun Violence Archive, a nonprofit research group that tracks gun violence using police reports, news coverage and other public sources. The group defines a mass shooting as one in which at least four people were killed or injured.
The deadliest mass shooting in the country so far this year was the massacre in which 19 children and two teachers were killed at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, on May 24. It happened 10 days after 10 people were shot and killed in a supermarket in Buffalo.
There is no consensus on what constitutes a mass shooting, complicating the efforts of government, nonprofits and news organizations to document the scope of the problem. Different groups define mass shootings differently, depending on circumstances including the number of victims, whether the victims are killed or wounded, and whether the shooting occurs in a public place.
The Gun Violence Archive has counted more than 300 mass shootings through early July. Of those shootings, 15 involved four or more fatalities, including the one in Highland Park on Monday.
The group recorded 692 mass shootings last year, with 28 involving four or more fatalities.

x The report by the Advanced Law Enforcement Rapid Response Training cites 3 missed chances to slow the gunman before he entered the building. It says officers who tried to stop him in the classroom "lost momentum" after taking fire as more weapons, including tear gas arrived. 2/4 — Tony Plohetski (@tplohetski) July 6, 2022
The request from the Uvalde officer, who was outside the school, about a minute before the gunman entered Robb Elementary had not been previously reported. The officer was reported to have been afraid of possibly shooting children while attempting to take out the gunman, according to the report released Wednesday by the Advanced Law Enforcement Rapid Response Training Center in San Marcos.
The report provides a host of new details about the May 24 shooting, including several missed opportunities to engage or stop the gunman before he entered the school.
The lack of response to the officer’s request to shoot the suspect outside the school was the most significant new detail that the report revealed.
