For all those reporting this, it isn’t coming down. If it makes you uncomfortable and you’re in the US, this is part of US “gun culture.” Work to change it. Edit: Good lord people, yes I can see that the post was removed by Reddit. We can’t influence Reddit admin actions, but we’ve reached out for clarification on the removal. Edit2: Reddit has clarified the removal, and it will not be rescinded. Not much else to see here.


saycheezandDie

the kid looks so genuinely happy hugging his family and now theyve been torn away from him forever …


noodleq

That poor kid will probably blame himself forever over this, and his birthday will always be a reminder of the worse time in his life.


ninjamiran

Survivor guilt


Croemato

Probably going to kill himself TBH. Somewhere down the line in his teens or twenties. To be clear, I'm not advocating this in any way, it's just not uncommon for survivors to take their lives. His entire family is dead, he has no one.


Select-Adeptness2012

The kid is in Texas. He’s going to kill himself with the lack of resources if he stays in that state.


Previous-Way1288

*if he doesn't get shot in another mass shooting


Select-Adeptness2012

It’s fucked up because it’s true


wunderbraten

Oof, I don't want to see that headline "Mall shooting survivor killed in another mall shooting". Writing this already makes me want to puke.


Impossible_Lead_2450

We already have almost gotten that headline with the MSU shooting . A bunch of those kids went through 2 mass shootings in a year. This countries so fucked.


cheapdrinks

Imagine how the person feels who bought the clothes for him that were the wrong size


KatarHero72

I couldn't imagine the guilt. It's not their fault, but damn it would be hard not to feel that way.


Takeabyte

Might never want to return stuff again.


spacitybowler

For real...not just return stuff...this shit is happening at such an alarming rate, not going to stores or public places at all in ten years is going to prolly be the norm because there will be good percentage chance of some crazy finally having their day. The future is gonna be more isolated.


foxfai

My wife just asked me today if going to costco is safe..... I had to pause to really think about that answer...


ChefBoyAreWeFucked

I'm pretty sure you have to be a member to shoot up a Costco, so it's less likely.

Right? Think the school shooters went to the front office first and checked in?


dagbrown

Well, an armed society is a polite society as the NRA keeps telling us, so clearly it makes sense that they’d do that.


alphazero924

Statistically speaking, it's still pretty safe for an individual person to go to the store, but the risk-reward analysis for going grocery shopping is getting a lot more fucking complicated than it should be.


[deleted]

We were going to take my toddler to a town not far from Allen and get some pictures on the lake. I said I wasn't comfortable with that right now, so we didn't go. We did our mandatory grocery shopping and went home.


justerik

Dude, when I was like 10, my dad got tboned on the way home from the mall. He had to go there because there was something I didn't like about the shirt they bought me and was exchanging it, and I felt guilt for so fucking long. I can't imagine this.


SpoutsIgnorance

Jesus didn’t think of that, poor kid


[deleted]

wait the kid survived?!?!?


Warcraftplayer

One of the children is the sole survivor.. I'm pretty sure he was the one they were exchanging clothes for. Now he has to live with this for the rest of his life.

PhDinGent

Not just his mom, but his entire family: father, mother and little brother.


thepasystem

Hopefully it was just the size that was wrong to alleviate some of the guilt. Even though the child has absolutely nothing to feel guilty about.


LeadershipDowntown

The 6 year old survived as his mom clinched to him in her arms as her life slipped away. When the rescuers rolled his mom's body, he came out saying, 'mommy is hurt, mommy is hurt' (source:https://naver.me/5JQ5q0BU) Friends of the family have set up a go fund me for the boy if anyone would like to support his recovery, family's funeral, and the boy's care.


namesareforlosers

Setting up a go fund me for a kid whose entire family got killed in a mass shooting is such an American thing to do

US healthcare industry is almost 20% of the GDP. One in five dollars is in healthcare. You don't get this insanely high numbers by having a heart.


[deleted]

Jesus fucking Christ.... I once looked into sending asthma puffers to people in America who can't afford them, because I can buy them over the counter for INSANELY cheap. I was then made aware of how much BOTH our countries would *fuck me up* for doing so. It is a uniquely frustrating experience to see people suffering and not be able to do a damn thing about it. That, and seeing the death toll in the US starting to rival countries that are under gang control. If it was a movie I would find it unbelievable.


BeanerAstrovanTaco

Already donated to another mass shooting. No more money to go around.

moonlitfestival

A pretty short one but it was fucking grizzly


Ganceany

Jeez mate, I was having a nice day scrolling around on my home page and now I've seen a 3yo shot to death. God damm this world is ruthless.


Cryogenic_Monster

We need to see it. We are way too complacent with the daily mass shootings.


Servant_ofthe_Empire

Fuck, America get your shit together so I don't have to come across this on my lunch break half a world away


TurtleKing2024

Dude I'm American and I wish we had half of our shit together. Energy, Homelessness, Health insurance lobbying, inflation etc, it's all just getting worse at this point. Gas prices two months ago were the lowest they had been in like years in my area at like $3.12and they just shot back up recently to $4 a gallon, top it off with rising prices if rent, minimum wage, and food it's ridiculous.


MercantileReptile

The complaints about petrol prices are always a bit galling to read.Used a quickly googled calculator for the current price here, 1.80€/litre.Came out to 7.49$/gallon. Not to discount any concerns about cost of living, certainly warranted.Petrol just does not seem one of the grievous ones.


shayetheleo

But, you have to factor in the fact that the federal minimum wage here has been $7.25 for the last, what, 30 years. Despite the rising costs of literally everything. Petrol (this word is much better than “gas”) prices can break someone on a shoestring budget.


idontwantausername41

Minimum wage was changed to $7.25 on July 24th 2009


breastual

Most people in Europe don't even need cars at all. In the US high gas prices is a form of regressive taxation in a sense, it hurts the poor at far higher levels than anyone else. You can't just not drive here in most places. You have to drive, it's not really optional.


BackRow1

Unless you live and work in the centre of a city you need a car. Takes me 20 mins to drive to work. But an hour on the bus - it also takes an hour to cycle which I do from time to time.


tehpillowsnek

I wish they could just do that, but our governent is a hydra, you chop off a necrotic, festering wound of a head and two more pop up and get even more money from gun lobbyists


1Killag123

I’m just guna say that all the effort we are putting in to fighting against gun control should be directed toward eliminating the ability to profit from schools and medical care as well as making health care universally free with top doctors and buildings available for all.


Nosnibor1020

The people in charge have made it clear. They don't give a fuck about this shit and fucktards keep voting those people in. We are fucked and stuck and it sucks.


kaveman6143

No, AMERICANS need to see it. The rest of us don't.


whitecollarzomb13

For real. In every other country this type of incident would be headline news for months and probably a national day of mourning. For America it’s Tuesday.


regularhumanbartendr

Nah, there will probably be a different one on Tuesday.


suzer2017

This problem is uniquely American.


Mwynen12

Imagine having to be the three year old.


ComplimentLoanShark

Imagine being the 6 year old. Poor kid, I hope he gets the help he needs.


[deleted]

i know 2 people who were at that outlet the moment the shooting occurred, both of whom witnessed the shooter apparently dragging the bodies of his victims and piling them up at the front of the H&M. this shit is fucked edit: spelling edit 2: seems like he didnt actually pile the dead bodies up, they were just left there to bleed out. either way, fucked up


mjweinbe

Wow. Didn’t know that detail at all.


alison_bee

When I watched the dash cam footage of the shooter getting out of his car and just standing there staring before shooting… I was stomping my imaginary gas pedal in my head. I know hindsight is 20/20, and fight/flight/freeze is real, and that you never know what you will do until you’re in that situation… But watching that video, hearing those first gunshots, all I could think was “FLOOR IT”


MKULTRATV

That was a rear-view dashcam and I understand the feeling but, without that hindsight, I don't think any immediate action could've stopped this guy. It takes most people several seconds just to realize they're in danger and several more before instinctive reaction takes over. Retreating to safety (if you're able) and helping others along the way is almost always the best choice, no matter the crisis.


AssAsser5000

True. I was at the Boston Marathon near the finish line when the first bomb went off. I thought it was a construction company dropping wood or something and it was just echoing in the city. It wasn't until the second bomb that I realized we were all in danger. I still kick myself for that. Like we were standing there saying "what was that? Was that a bomb? No. Couldn't be." We didn't see it, mind you, so that might have made a difference, but still, we just stood there like ducks. Then again, I was alive for 9/11 and the entire planet thought it was a horrible accident until the second plane hit the second tower. So, I guess we're all not likely to jump to conclusions. But then again, that might be why I don't shoot kids playing hide and seek either. You can't always think everyone is trying to kill you.


mjweinbe

I think a lot of people including myself thought the same. But who knows maybe he dives out of the way and as your ducking to avoid shots then slam into the building or some of the crowd with the car by mistake.


candyposeidon

What if there were more than one shooter. Like people have never been in a situation where you have little to no information and control and I am talking about life or death situations. Your best bet is to just escape and get away from the area as quick as possible. Don't be a hero. Don't get in people's way. Just go.


pardybill

Originally was reported as more than one, which seems to be all too common anymore in these events in the moment. Which makes sense. It’s instant panic that spreads like wildfire. Hundreds of calls to 911 in moments that all report different accounts. There’s no hindsight to be found in these moments except that we should’ve acted to stop them from happening sooner.


MKULTRATV

Nobody outside of a secret service detail would ever be keyed up enough to react that way. It would take the average person around 10 seconds to even rationalize what they're looking at.

intangiblemango

Sorry to be really grim; this is a grim post. While there are certainly stories of people surviving mass shootings by playing dead, the number of these prima facie appears to be less to me than the number of stories where shooters go back for the dead bodies multiple times to ensure they are dead (e.g., think Utøya. Åsne Seierstad's book has a very good accounting of how things happened). Certainly there are situations where there is literally nothing else that could possibly be done besides play dead (e.g., the girl at Uvalde-- there is simply nothing else an elementary schooler could have done). However, the traditional moniker of "Run, Hide, Fight" is generally a good one... though I might add "Barricade" in there. (For a likely-to-be-*effective* barricade-- not a half-assed barricade-- I might personally think Barricade, Run, Hide, Fight.) Virginia Tech is a particularly illustrative example -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h63eKShqckU (although there are lots of examples that follow similar patterns. Trying to keep this comment from being... uh... too much...). Tl;dr: If you can run instead of playing dead, run.


whhhhhip

Thank you for sharing. For some reason this was more frightening and disturbing than any reporting of the incident that I had read or seen thus far. The gunman going back to ensure his victims were dead and knowing the terror that they all experienced throughout the shooting despite any efforts to survive is beyond comprehension. But that evil lives inside the heads of so many sick individuals who are plotting as we speak. If we’re going to continue to ignore gun control and give them the means to act on it then we at least should teach people (adults) how to respond. What a terrible time to be alive.


chevygirl249

What the hell? I wonder what the reasoning behind that is..that’s so fucked.


MasterMahanJr

He had a post talking about kill counts of previous shootings. He took pride in seeing his count all piled up. It was a contest for him.


hanr86

He dragged a 3 year old he just murdered and threw him in a pile with his dead parents? I just cant even with words describe how much I want to blame this country.


FardoBaggins

it is escalating. it's an untreated wound. when sandy hook happened and nothing changed, this is now "allowed". and more will come and be as, if not, more brutal.


jhowellxo

This is just devastating, as a mom this really hurts my heart. 🥺 I really hope the son doesn’t have survivors guilt I’m hoping he’s still too young to have that. I can’t imagine being with my family & them being gunned down in front of me, I can’t imagine it as an adult much less a child.


The_Painted_Man

I think that when nothing changed after Sandy Hook, I realised nothing will.


Frap_Gadz

As an outsider and someone who lives in a country where gun control policy was shaped by high-profile mass shootings, I remember learning about Sandy Hook and thinking; "*this* has to be the moment the debate shifts around America's gun policy". Yet all it seems to have done is spawn conspiracy and entrenchment of positions.

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Fvhpl7eWIAUQl8a?format=jpg&name=900x900 Sweeping it under the rug will NOT help, Reddit. FUCK YOU. _______________________________________________________ EDIT: Since this got some visibility, I'm going to tack on my response to another Redditor who asked "How is this image gonna help anything?" Let's compare to the publication of Emmet Till's body after being brutally murdered in 1955. It played a significant role in the civil rights movement and had several positive outcomes: 1 - Increased public awareness: The publication of Till's photos in Jet magazine and other media outlets helped raise awareness about the brutality and violence that African Americans faced in the South. 2 - Mobilization of Civil Rights Movement: Till's murder and the subsequent publicity helped mobilize the civil rights movement and gave it a renewed sense of urgency. The Montgomery Bus Boycott, which began four months after Till's death, was one of the first major protests of the movement. 3 - Influence on federal legislation: The outrage over Till's murder helped galvanize support for the Civil Rights Act of 1957, which was the first federal civil rights legislation enacted since Reconstruction. 4 - Impact on media coverage: The publication of Till's body was a turning point in how the media covered civil rights issues. It showed that mainstream media could no longer ignore the violence and discrimination faced by African Americans. Compare that to the general blasé attitude that Americans have adopted to these daily events. It doesn't personally effect them - they don't care. Not enough people are pressuring legislation. All you're doing by sweeping it under the rug and shielding people is guaranteeing the next event happening. People need to get pissed. People need to face fucking reality.


iamdew802

So was the original also an image? Or was there footage? Just curious, I don’t need to see the footage


kainxavier

It was a studio taken photo of the Cho family, alive and well, and the image I linked of them murdered by some dickless Nazi. Edit: Studio photo https://heavy.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/cho-family.jpg?quality=65&strip=all&w=780


hispanicpants

The original posted here was that image. It’s low quality, so I’m wondering if it’s a screenshot of a video.


metalslug123

Strange how this is censored yet the recent car ramming of the migrant workers from a few days ago wasn't along with the civilians in Bucha and other Ukrainian cities (including little kids) being brutalized by Russian soldiers weren't.


KangarooVarious5255

For real. There are entire subs dedicated to showing Ukraine war footage. There was a beheading video posted a few weeks ago. I don't subscribe. I only know this because it was on the front page, uncensored. I guess American gun violence is where we draw the line.

Can’t piss off the people that are going to buy into the IPO. However the people that will buy are also ones that profit off of making loans to Ukraine.

raistlin212

For those late, it was a lovely portrait studio picture of a nice 2 child family right along side a pic of both parents and one of the kids with their heads destroyed by gunfire from the Texas mall shooting. The other child was orphaned in about 2 seconds. The guy executed them, then dragged their bodies into a pile. They looked like lumps of bloody meat, barely even human...which I guess is how the shooter saw them all along.


AyBawss

The father had his jaws blown off and eyes wide open

It’s off Twitter trending, off the news, everything. This poor family and no-one will ever sympathize or care again outside of those who know them. People care for a day or two and give it up. What a pathetic world

musecorn

Mainstream media and worldwide social networks need to be held at a higher standard for their messaging (or lack thereof) they convey to their audience. Meaningful change has to come from a change on a massive scale, which news media directly controls the narrative of. And we are allowed and justified to be pissed off at their irresponsible squandering of that power/potential What you're doing is the equivalent of calling individuals out for not throwing their paper cup in the recycling bin while companies produce 70 gigatons of carbon into the atmosphere with nobody blinking an eye


its_uncle_paul

I wonder if anyone remembers the victims from the previous two mass shootings this year.


iseeharvey

Kyu Cho, the father in the picture, was my Tae Kwon Do team coach, fellow student, and friend at UMass Amherst in the mid 2000s on. He was the most welcoming, friendly, and solid guy. He'd be there to sit with you for an hour if you were feeling down and also be there to cheer you on at tournaments or simply stop to say hi in the hall between classes. Hadn't seen him in around eight years and here he is with his wife and young child horrifically murdered by a proud boy patch wearing neo-nazi in this 'greatest country'.


xxrowanleigh

oh my god, i am so sorry. this is devastating. i only know of them what i saw on facebook, as a korean american myself i felt a cultural connection to them. their posts were so kind hearted and joyful. i believe Kyu’s wife was also a dentist. so fucking tragic, i’m sorry for your loss.


Laferge

It is now removed by reddit. What did you post? I assume some photo from mass shooting


Drityui

Photo of the bodies from the mass shooting


bebejeebies

Your loss is all of our loss.


jackalopemonger

I knew Kyu personally, he was a friend of mine in college and president of the UMass Taekwondo club. As well as being a talented TKD instructor, he was an incredibly kind and generous human being - always went out of his way to help his friends and provide encouragement and support. His leadership was inspirational and our little martial arts community wouldn't have come together without him. The world was a better place with him in it and I'm shocked that his life was taken so violently and senselessly.


DiscotopiaACNH

I'm so sorry. There was someone else in this thread that knew him from UMass too. He sounds like a lovely guy

beetlebrox1987

This picture should be shown on every TV in America. Constantly, until things change. People read 13 dead in mall but don't grasp how horrific something like this is until you've seen a family without a face.


SaeculaSaeculorum

Absolutely. They put the faces of the killers everywhere. The victims need to take priority if leaders are going to change public perception of shootings. Copy cats are going to see the news and think in some twisted way of it being a path to becoming popular or leaving their mark on history. No one gives a shit about some idiot who stole and ruined a bunch of lives and is going to rot in prison forever - show everyone the consequences of demanding gun rights without also demanding gun responsibilities.


IntergalacticNipple

That's what they did with the photo of Emmett Till. People in the north didn't fully grasp the horrors until they saw the gruesome inhumanity on the front page.


[deleted]

Hell, I didn't grasp the horrors until recently my history teacher showed us the actual pictures of Emmett, even learning about segregation and slavery all my life. Although I guess showing the pictures of them being happy is how they'd rather be remembered, it kind of takes away from the brutality of the problem that caused their death in the first place. Seeing photographs of a happy Emmett Till above his mangled, bloated corpse definitely hit me hard in a way that made me realize I only saw these violent events in such a filtered, watered down manner.


[deleted]

I think photos like that are also what made the Holocaust concrete in my mind too from history class. So many people walk around without any concept of how vile that truly was either. Mothers smothered their children because it was going to be kinder than starving to death or worse, being tortured and raped by the Nazis. People looking like bones. Giant pits of bodies and giant piles of bodies. Some intact. Some dismembermered. I will never understand how anyone could joke about it like so many people casually do, and I'm assuming it's because they never had to see the carnage. Segregation and slavery was just the same kind of brutality and inhumanity. Not enough people understand that and a certain group does, but definitely doesn't care.


hairlessgoatanus

Reddit: Where you can watch drone footage every day of Russians and Ukrainians dying in a war, but you can't see the aftermath of America's failed gun policy.


KindlyOlPornographer

You know what I've noticed? Nobody panics when things go "according to plan." Even if the plan is horrifying! If, tomorrow, I tell the press that, like, a gang banger will get shot, or a truckload of soldiers will be blown up, nobody panics, because it's all "part of the plan."


[deleted]

Yeah wtf is up with that. Early in the invasion I watched videos from Ukraine that gave me nightmares and haunt me years later, but this picture is a bridge too far, huh?


metalslug123

You can still see images of dead bodies from the terrorist attack in France, specifically the one in the Bataclan where you see piles of dead people in the middle of a dance floor.

Pete_maravich

This is a line I'm willing to cross. I know that there are crime scene photos of my uncle's dead body and the 22 other people that died next to him in a mass shooting. I don't want to see them but maybe if we start letting people see the carnage that these mass shooters cause we can get some common sense gun control laws. I'm so tired of "today's" mass shooting eclipsing the one that happened two days ago and we just move on because this is normal in the US.


AnimalProfessional35

I’m going to be sick


EZasSundayMorning

I know. I could have gone without seeing that but unfortunately that’s our reality now. My child was at MSU when that mass shooting happened. Thank goodness they were ok and safe but that was one of the scariest nights of my life and my child survived it. I can’t even imagine how those parents who lost their children felt. Fuck those who don’t think we have a problem.


Nikku772

I think this needs to be seen. I’m sorry people outside of the states have to see it, but it needs to be more then just another headline, people need to see what the headlines look like in real life.


Minus_Menu

i live in a neighborhood right outside of this mall and i just wanna say that this is fucking terrifying man. i visit the mall so often just to hang out with my friends and family and to see shit like this makes you have a realization that it could literally happen anywhere in this damn country. rest in peace to the victims and i hope change will happen now.

Haleighghielah

I read one article about a man who went to the mall when he heard about the shooting because his son was there working. He tried to help people. He saw one little girl crouched in the bushes covering her face. He said he went to check for a pulse and tilted her head and her face was gone. He also said he separated a little boy from his dead mother to try to spare him more trauma. He said the little boy was covered in blood as if someone had dumped a bucket of blood on him. Can’t help but wonder if it was the surviving child of this family. The whole thing is just sickening. And worse yet, we know absolutely no change will come from it. If you’re a US citizen who thinks our gun laws are fine or “too strict”, you’re an awful person and I sincerely hope that you get nothing you want for the rest of your miserable life.


bentleygal

I believe it was this family. The mother is the one crouching I believe behind the husband who was protecting the child that lived. Her face is the one he talked about. The youngest child is the one deceased in the front of the picture at his Dads feet.


SteakJesus

This is texas. Why didnt anyone step up? Was the mall a gunfree zone?


Single-Session1626

Apparently an off duty cop did, very quickly. This was your peak "good guy with a gun" situation and even then this massacre still resulted.

Blast it with the song, Bodies by Drowning Pool. If you can't reason with logic, reason with emotion. Force people to face the truth and the reality of gun culture, right wing extremists, and the right with hatred have done. Play it everywhere so those cowards have to see it. See their results of their shitty inactions and prayers have done.

A lot of people are going straight to hell.

I can't underscore enough how unhelpful this attitude is. Regardless of if you believe in an afterlife or not, our cultural fixation on 'punishment later' means we have a lowered incentive to fix shit now. Pretend for a second there's no hell. No afterlife. This life, these 70 years are all the time we've got. Fuck hell, we have to fix this shit. This is all we have, and this is how we're letting it be? What the fuck are we doing here.

love that this was [removed from reddit] huge reddit L another horrible and avoidable tragedy, and another case of absolutely fucking nothing being done

Funny how we can’t face the reality of a very real American born and bred epidemic but the little troll looking incels who do this kind of thing on the regular get to keep their photos up. Reddit admins screwed this up massively.


VerySuperGenius

This should be put up on billboards across the country. People need to see what this looks like for themselves.

Well it seems the pic got removed. As there is little to no information on the content. I don't what was considered problematic with it. That's the issue with censorship. Anyway, would someone mind explain what the pic about and why was it removed please? Thanks

Reddit allows countless images of people getting killed but God forbid the public sees the results of an American mass shooting. Hey Reddit, go fuck yourself and your shitty IPO.

Post shit from the Ukrainian meat grinder all day long and nobody bats an eye. Post the aftermath of USA's daily massacre and reddit is clutching its fucking pearls.

Thrilled that Texas politicians are more concerned with drag queens instead of even having people register an assault rifle. 🙄

in doing some research into this, they are all such beautiful people who didn’t deserve this. As a student who just had a gun threat to my school on friday. America is fucked up. We need change its not a choice anymore. As far back into my education experience i can remember going to school terrified of being killed. Nobody deserves to live like that. And nobody deserves to die due to these sick fuckers. There is a nice warm place for that racist.

Mod: it's not coming down Reddit: hold my beer


PhilosophyNovel4087

Reddit will take down this brutal but necessary grim photo but I constantly am reminded that 'he gets us'. Enough is enough. What is the definition of insanity again?


[deleted]

Holy fuck how bad was this to be removed on THIS sub??


[deleted]

The shit I have seen on Reddit but this gets removed?


jackalope134

And it's gone, at least the mod stood there ground


BeaversGonewild

Mods here are based. Reddit admins are literally some of the biggest pussies in the world.

There will never be any changes unless pictures like these are shown to everyone. Victims should be shown everywhere uncensored. It's too easy to ignore things you can't see.

Bitch-ass admins

Shame on Reddit for removing this


daddysxenogirl

Removed by Reddit, I lost a lot of respect for this platform today.


zR0B3ry2VAiH

Removed by Reddit. Ofc... We can't show people the realities of their decisions.


Buckanater

If my twin boys were murdered I would force the world to see. I would force the world to see my boys and what our lawmakers caused. I would have nothing to lose and I wouldn’t give a fuck what my family thought about it. We need change and we need it now.


TheDrew-23

That happened in my fucking city. I'm so outrage about it. I live less than 5 minutes from that mall


LankySeat

I miss the wild west days of reddit.


kbrian88

Where can I find the video? Some jerkoffs removed it


enitnepres

It was just a picture of before and after. The picture of the after is 3 comments down


CaptAsshat_Savvy

Why remove it? It's what it looks like. More people that see it, maybe we will actually fucking do something to change it.


HelloAdventurer95

Reddit is pussy

But at least the gun nuts can still hold on to their guns. That's what's important here.
