The Tim Walz campaign, and the ******** attacks upon him.

Last school shooting in:

Switzerland Never
UK 2016

Spain 2015
Denmark 1994
Sweden 1961
Netherlands 2004
Poland 2019
New Zealand 1923
Australia 2012
India 2007

The US is, by far, the world's leading country in school shootings. Americans need to stop with the excuses.

Ireland's also a never. In fact our last mass shooting event happened during the civil war, 100 years ago.

And even then, consider the reasons they are campaigning against them.

For Walz, his relatives are a bunch of MAGAts who disagree with his politics.

For Trump, it's not about politics, it's because he is an awful person.

When the family says, "He is an awful person" I will listen. When the family says, "I don't agree with his policies" um, why should I care what the Walz family members political views are?

Have you missed his brother telling us how the family didn’t want to sit next to him in a car when he was a kid because he got terrible travel sickness? What more do you need to know before you admit your messiah is a very naughty, very, nasty, very awful man?

Not sure what that refers to. Dunblane in 1996 is the only one I can think of, and that was by an adult, not a pupil.

ETA: I suspect most of the other dates are bogus, too.

Well, you'd be wrong. None of them are "bogus". I forgot to add the link. Here it is: https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/school-shootings-by-country

Switzerland has never had a school shooting.

It doesn't matter that the Dunblane shooting was by an adult. It was a person with a gun shooting up a school. Just like Uvalde was an adult shooting up a school.

The highlighted one is bogus. From your own source:
European countries have had their share of school shootings, although not as frequently as in the United States or Canada. These include eight in Germany since 1913, one in Lithuania (1925), one in Sweden (1961), three since 1967 in the United Kingdom (none after the 1996 massacre), three in Finland since 1989, two in the Netherlands (1999 and 2004), one in Denmark (1994), one in Hungary (2009), two in France (2012 and 2017), one in Estonia (2014), Spain (2015), at least five in Russia since 2014 (including events in May and September 2021), one in Crimea (2018), and one in Poland (2019, no deaths).

So, last school shooting in UK 1996, not 2016. I haven't checked the rest.

ETA Sorry, ninjad

It's the year people are disputing. 1996 is not 2016. So far as I know there hasn't been a UK school shooting since Dunblane and that was 28 years ago, not 8 years ago.

It wasn't bogus, just my mistake when typing the year. "Bogus" implies intentionally misleading. I was referring to Dunblane.

Apparently all of his family hate him including his brother and grandmother and they are all voting for Trump. Here's the picture accompanying the story.

Tim Walz’ sister tells the media that she doesn’t recognize a single face in the “Walz’s for Trump” photo.

Notice the print: "Nebraska Walz's for Trump"

Not a single one of these geniuses noticed that should be the plural "Walzes" and not the possessive "Walz's"?

Are you suggesting they are too ignorant to know how to use apostrophe's?

LOL!

Everyone makes silly typos when they're in a hurry and they do know the correct word, spelling or punctuation. I know I do. We've all typed "their" or "there" when we meant "they're" and "it's" for "its", but these yahoos were paying to have T-shirts printed with a political message to wear in public. You'd think one of them would have noticed before posing for that photo.

I didn't imagine you had intentionally misled anyone.

This being the era of plausible-looking AI-generated BS, I suspected you had found an unreliable list.
 
"Walz's" might not be wrong. How would you say it?

If it's Walls then they're wrong.
If it's Wallses then they're right.

No, it's not. It doesn't matter how one says it. What matters is how it's written and used. Walz's is a possessive. They are not using it as a possessive, but as a plural.

Tim Walz's dog is named ......

The Walzes live in Nebraska.
