I keep telling people (like my more liberally inclined friends) that the IRS is the real enemy of the people and they just look at me like sheep.  The IRS have to navigate a complicated tax code to go after the rich and that's too much trouble - they will always prioritize going after the poor and middle class no matter what the progressives say. I hate gun violence but you are gonna want to have your guns if the goons squads show up because you filled out one form wrong lol

A Texas man went next door with a rifle and began shooting his neighbors, killing an 8-year-old and four others inside the house, after the family asked him to stop firing rounds in his yard because they were trying to sleep, authorities said Saturday.

San Jacinto County Sheriff Greg Capers said authorities were still searching for the 39-year-old suspect following the overnight shooting in the town of Cleveland, about 45 miles (72 kilometers) north of Houston. He said the suspect, whom he did not identify, used an AR-style rifle in the shooting.

"Everyone that was shot was shot from the neck up, almost execution-style," Capers said during a news conference at the scene.

oh that's brutal

"The Honduran ladies that were laying over these children were doing it in such an effort as to protect the child," according to Capers, who said a total of three blood-covered children were found in the home but were determined to be uninjured after being taken to a hospital.

i had a student whose mother was shot while shielding her like that

nobody died in that incident though - the girl missed a bunch of school after that

oh that's brutal

I'm guessing the victims recently arrived in the US from Honduras?

Wonder if the killer is headed for the Mexican border?

i think he's going to die in prison and learn what it means to suffer like the homeless he tortured with bear spray - they got his psycho ass on film - he probably bought it on amazon and now that it's going viral big time prosecutors are going to "smoke" his ass -

police can't find the dude

Rene Arevalo Sr., who lives a few houses down, said he heard gunshots around midnight but didn't think anything of it.

"It's a normal thing people do around here, especially on Fridays after work," Arevalo said. "They get home and start drinking in their backyards and shooting out there."

Capers said his deputies had been to Oropeza's home at least once before and spoken with him about "shooting his gun in the yard." It was not clear whether any action was taken at the time. At a news conference Saturday evening, the sheriff said firing a gun on your own property can be illegal, but he did not say whether Oropeza had previously broken the law.

idgaf if it's texas you can't go blasting an ar in your backyard unless you live on a 40 acre farm
