The thing I find interesting it that all of arrested had their mug shots put up.
All the murdered showed facebook pictures.
Interesting way to make a poster, I guess.

Maybe it wouldn’t be very tasteful to show mugshots of murdered people, assuming they were available.
Plus arrested person top right looks like a Facebook pic.

No, so strong are second amendment rights you can take your rifle to your mug-shooting.

If the goal was to trigger reactions, then having one of the "arrested"'s picture show a gun was a good choice.
Just saying that the optics were good.
Totally horrified about the "murders" - something is not quite right.
God bless America!!!!

Because he's an interesting poster. Am wondering what it was about the caricature that offended him. Was it that it was a gross stereotype or what?

I was wondering whether petee might have found the first sentence sphincter-clenchingly cringey, being a listing of the author’s claimed virtues (comfort with sexuality, interpersonal skills etc.), with the complete lack of self-awareness in the second half adding three flavours of facepalm to the shit sundae.
Or maybe it was the spelling.

Can see where you’re going here, but I couldn’t tell even who this man was supposed to be so it makes sense people would interpret things differently.
There are guns and a MAGA hat, but is he a regular NRA member, a Trump rally attendee, an “open carry” fetishist or is he perhaps in the middle of storming the Capitol building?
Were 60% of the angry violent men you have dealt with over years wearing pink MAGA hats and McDonald’s badges?

How do I change this 'custom title' thing then?
It’s a cartoon, so culturally not required to be as finely nuanced as a six page polemic in a newspaper sold outside pubs that no one except the editorial cadre will ever read.

Indeed. Cartoons are more ‘culturally required’ to be quickly legible and make some kind of point over and above the cartoonist’s proclivity for narcissistic anus-gazing.

Pretty sure that cops don't take mugshots of the people they shoot dead.
Getting them to stand up for the photoshoot would seem to be a bit tricky...

I assumed what was meant was a mugshot from a previous arrest.

Two dead at elementary school. At least 15 taken to hospitals. The toll could rise.
You know, I went to high school in the US, so I kinda get the active shooter thing there. There's plenty of bullying and angst to go around. Couple that with plenty of teens with untreated mental illness, and guns, and its a recipe for disaster. But, I don't get killing babies at elementary schools.

Fifteen dead, 14 of them students.

According to ABC news, this elementary school had students in the 2nd to 4th grades. This would all be children under 10.
They also found the shooter's grandmother dead as well.

As The Onion will say, "'No Way to Prevent This,' Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens"
Lately, they've been updating that story by the hour.
