Wow, with all this heightened response just because someone killed a dog with a gun, just think what would happen if, hypothetically, someone went into a school building and shot a bunch of children!

I didn't want to sound churlish but this actually annoys the shit out of me. Dozens of children? Meh. But a puppy? BURN THE WITCH!

(Not that either are okay, but come the fuck on.)

I think, if Kristi Noem had personally shot dozens of children, the backlash would be even worse than for Cricket the hellhound.

She might go to jail, even.

Wouldn't hurt her reelection prospects, though

She could raise campaign funds at her trial. Oh, I mean funds that she could use for legal fees.

*which i still don't understand why this is legal??

There's a scene at the end of John Michael McDonagh's Calvary where someone asks Brendan Gleeson's "good" priest, who openly weeps when his dog is murdered, if he ever cried over the abuse of children by other priests, and he admits he hasn't. It's an indictment of the audience as much as the priest.

That would actually force Congress to pass reasonable gun legislation, wouldn't it?

Why, yes. Yes it would.
