You're dumb as shit, for the love of God I hope you're never on a jury.

You really don't like it when people point out that, in reality, you're a spoiled faggot who rarely leaves his house. Anyone who's had any serious shit in their lives would tell you - you never know how you'll react until you do.

Except you, apparently, where everything perfectly matches with what you see through your dusty ass PC screen.

Oh look, the Israel shill is trying to life people now, real impressive. Maybe you should use some dismissive insult like calling me "kid" which is really a projection of your own insecurities.

All I want is for some Connecticut police officer to go rogue and release the photos just so retarded boomers and schizos can be disproven once and for all. Their arguments have so many holes but they will never ever admit they are wrong until something like that is released.

The narrative is irreperable at this point for them. If the laws restricting autopsy/csi information were really enacted in response to shady hook, that's strange as fuck even if the reason, as ever now, was feelings. Suing Alex Jones for billions of dollars years later further entrenched their positions. None of that makes any sense, and I'm not even someone that thinks it's a hoax, what would be the reason? The three letters can convince any number of mentally broke people to go over that final ledge. But there's a lot of dumbass psyop shit surrounding any big shooting within the last few years.

What kind of wild wigger sorcery is this?

Obviously I'm going to be dismissive of your shit, Israeli shilling is a well-documented phenomenon and it usually involves exaggerating Israeli involvement or assistance with the Western countries.

Why are you acting as if, firstly, this is my first account on KiwiFarms, secondly, like you're a psychoanalyst, and thirdly, like you are a keen international espionage specialist who can snuffle out Mossad agents on the internet?

Not to mention having an evidence photo of the gun laying on the bloodstained ground from about every shooting they cite. Their emotional manipulation of the public keeps getting worse.
 
The article shows off body bags but that's the closest to dead kids it gets.

They refer to the events as a "AR 15 Shooting", like its a natural disaster or some shit. Its just a blatant "Ar 15 bad, plz ban them" article, I honestly think the whole shit storm about the article was a plan to get more people to read this blatant propaganda. I wouldn't be shocked if someone from WaPo "Leaked" to the family's that they were gonna show off images of the dead children for some free advertising.

i dont know where this "dead children" meme started, the parents never said that WaPO was going to share pics of dead children
everything the parents said was right, they are sharing never before seen graphic photos from crime scenes, just not pictures of dead children
 
I've never gone to Wapo before, but holy shit I despise their formatting. On mobile at least, it looks like a coffee table book.
Skimmed it and didn't see any mention of officers standing around for an hour in the halls. But Im sure that wasnt relevant to the death toll at all.

Oh we have actual photo evidence of Ramos writing “LOL” on the white board in victims blood now.
 
What is the point of those pictures? Interesting sure but no one doubted there was a death count.

What people had a problem with is the police standing around doing nothing, except for the brave soul or two that took the time to block and prevent parents from going into the school to protect the children.

Why were the children allowed to die? Who wanted them dead? Preventing anyone from stopping it sure looks like someone was helping the shooter get the most kills in. Who would do that, and why?

Can we get interviews with all the police and security guards who were there that day? Can we find out how they go on with their lives knowing they stood around for 77 goddamn minutes, over an hour, while children died?
I want to know their secret. Seriously, I do. How do they see any value in their existance after letting that happen? Do they compartmentalize it away in their minds? Did they get a big payout for it? Are they just sociopaths?
 
The Washington Post released an additional article explaining why they are doing what they are doing.

Why we are publishing disturbing content from AR-15 mass shootings​

In “Terror on repeat,” the latest story in our series examining the role of the AR-15 in American life, The Washington Post is taking the unusual step of publishing photographs and videos taken during the immediate aftermaths of some of the nation’s deadliest mass shootings.

Like other news organizations, we cover the effects of these tragedies when they occur. But because journalists generally do not have access to crime scenes and news organizations rarely if ever publish graphic content, most Americans have no way to understand the full scope of an AR-15’s destructive power or the extent of the trauma inflicted on victims, survivors and first responders when a shooter uses this weapon on people.

Drawing on the details of 11 mass killings from the past 11 years, this story is the result of a months-long effort to examine these episodes as a cumulative and relatively recent phenomenon that has upended communities across the country.

The story is largely narrated by those who experienced the shootings firsthand. It reveals the commonalities shared by each tragedy — the sudden transition from normal life to terror, then the onset of chaos, destruction and death, and, finally, the gruesome aftermath of investigation and cleanup.

Our decision to publish this story came after careful and extensive deliberation among the reporters and editors who worked on it, as well as senior leaders in our newsroom.

The goal was to balance two crucial objectives: to advance the public’s understanding of mass killers’ increasing use of this readily available weapon, which was originally designed for war, while being sensitive to victims’ families and communities directly affected by AR-15 shootings.

While many types of firearms, including other semiautomatic rifles, are used to commit violent crimes, the AR-15 has soared in popularity over the past two decades and is now the gun used more than any other in the country’s deadliest mass shootings.

In the end, we decided that there is public value in illuminating the profound and repeated devastation left by tragedies that are often covered as isolated news events but rarely considered as part of a broader pattern of violence.

We filed more than 30 public records requests in jurisdictions that had investigated AR-15 shootings since 2012, the year that included massacres at a movie theater in Aurora, Colo., and at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., seeking medical examiner records, crime scene photographs, police body-camera footage and other investigative files. Most of our requests were rejected, with officials citing ongoing investigations or local laws preventing the release of such information. Officials in some communities released documents in response to our requests, including Dayton, Ohio, Aurora and Las Vegas.

Our reporters also gathered court records and other information that had previously been made public, and scoured social media and websites for photos and videos that may have surfaced after AR-15 shootings and that we could authenticate. They interviewed survivors and first responders willing to share their experiences, searched for official transcripts of witness testimony and compiled relevant interviews conducted in the past by Post journalists — amassing firsthand accounts that are crucial to this story.

The Post separately obtained a collection of evidence from the 2022 shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Tex., compiled by state and federal police, some of which has not previously been made public. Those files include intensely graphic crime scene photos and videos taken moments after police entered the classrooms where 19 students and two teachers were killed.

Before viewing the graphic content, our reporters and editors participated in training by the Dart Center for Journalism and Trauma, learning best practices for viewing disturbing photos and discussing how publishing them could affect readers.

At the same time, reporters and editors engaged in intensive discussions over the merits of publishing disturbing photographs and videos. We engaged in conversations with advocates, including victims’ families, some of whom see a potential value in publishing content to increase public awareness and others who see such publication as dehumanizing and traumatizing.

Our team grappled with our own standard practices when it comes to publishing graphic content. We seek to be thoughtful about how doing so affects victims of violence and those who care about them, but we also recognize that at times disturbing photos and videos can add to an accurate understanding of events. We also realize that news outlets are often more comfortable publishing pictures of violence overseas, where some of our readers are less likely to have a direct connection.

For this project, we established one ground rule at the start of our reporting: If we sought to publish any pictures of identifiable bodies, we would seek permission from the families of the victims. Some families indicated they would be open to granting permission, but ultimately we decided that the potential harm to victims’ families outweighed any potential journalistic value of showing recognizable bodies. We ultimately included nine photos from the Uvalde files showing scenes inside the classrooms taken shortly after bodies were removed. In addition, we show sealed body bags in the school hallway.

The only photograph in this story showing bodies is one taken immediately after the 2017 shooting at the Route 91 Harvest festival in Las Vegas. We felt the scene captured in this photo — a field strewn with the dead and wounded beneath the Las Vegas skyline — illustrates why witnesses often liken AR-15 shootings to American war zones. The perspective of the photograph, in which the victims are seen from a distance, makes it unlikely that individuals could be identified.

As we prepared to publish this story in recent days, we sought to be sensitive to the people most directly affected — providing advance notice to many families of victims, their representatives and community leaders so they could choose to avoid the coverage if they preferred.

We realize this story will be disturbing to readers, but we believe that publishing these images gives the public a new vantage point into the pattern of AR-15 mass killings in the United States. We hope that readers will share their feedback in the comments section at the end of the story.
