People Sick Of 'Thoughts And Prayers' Demand Action After Florida School Shooting

I don’t want your condolences you fucking price of shit, my friends and teachers were shot. Multiple of my fellow classmates are dead. Do something instead of sending prayers. Prayers won’t fix this. But Gun control will prevent it from happening again. https://t.co/UZPgcPoPUX

When is enough, enough!?! How much bloodshed, how many more deaths!?!

My heart breaks at the news from Florida.

I mourn the senseless loss of life. This must not be normal, such carnage must not be routine.

Thoughts and prayers are not enough.

Our nation must act.

I too am sending out thoughts and prayers: thoughts that Congress is a bunch of cowards, and prayers that we'll finally throw the bums out of office and elect representatives with the guts to enact the sane gun laws most citizens in our country are begging to see put in place.

We could save a lot of money on that wall by just putting up some thoughts and prayers instead.

Broward school shooting--There will be prayers from Blabbermouth Don, Pence the Grinch, and their rightwing cohorts. There will be no call for any sort of sane gun regs.

We owe it to our children and our teachers to keep them safe while at school. Prayers won't do this: action will. Congress, please do your job and protect Americans from senseless gun violence

Another school shooting!? 18 already this year??? Jesus Christ. Utterly horrific and tragic. Enough with "thoughts and prayers," how about "changes and action?" Or maybe even just, "ok this actually is the time to talk about this."

On days like this, "thoughts and prayers" with no further action, may as well be bullets in the next mass shooting.#GunControlNow #NRA#Parkland #GOP

Thoughts and prayers obviously ain’t doin’ shit to stop nothin’.

My thoughts and prayers have led me to believe it’s time for a change in policy.

It’s time for law and order Republicans - or Democrats or Independents - to step to the plate and lay down some rules on guns. Responsible gun owners yes. Nut jobs no. And let’s cut this “thoughts and prayers” nonsense. We’ll do that in church, but politicians must do their jobs. https://t.co/ljbfs0sWmF

I will take back everything bad I’ve ever said about Trump if he does something about the gun issue.

But hey thoughts and prayers seem to be crushing it soooo.

Thoughts and prayers are what you send when there is literally nothing you can do. When there is, in fact, everything you can do, sending thoughts and prayers is an act of cruelty.

When
Will
The @GOP
Stop
Being
OWNED
By
The @NRA
And
FINALLY
Do
ANYTHING
About #GunControl?

Never.

Their thoughts and prayers mean nothing.

We must replace them all.

Would you accept "thoughts and prayers" as the ONLY response by public servants if they had food and your family was starving?

Would you accept empty talk about mental health - from people who had no intention to act - if someone set your house on fire?

Of course you wouldn't.
