Rihanna is one of many celebrities speaking out about the horrific mass shootings that occurred within 24 hours of each other this weekend. On Saturday morning (August 3), gunfire broke out at a shopping center in El Paso, Texas, leaving 20 innocent people dead.
Only 13 hours later, another shooting erupted outside of the Ned Peppers Bar in Dayton, Ohio, resulting in 10 more fatalities, including the 24-year-old shooter. The Dayton incident served as the 250th mass shooting this year alone.
Like many Americans, Rihanna quickly set her sights on Donald Trump and called United States gun laws into question.
“Um… Donald, you spelt “terrorism” wrong! Your country had 2 terrorist attacks back to back hours apart leaving almost 30 innocent people dead. This, just days after yet another terrorist attack in California, where a terrorist was able to LEGALLY purchase an assault rifle (AK-47) in Vegas, then drive hours to a food festival in Cali leaving 6 more people dead including a young infant baby boy!
“Imagine a world where it’s easier to get an AK-47 than a VISA! Imagine a world where they build a wall to keep terrorists IN AMERICA!!! My prayers and deepest condolences to the families and loved ones of all the victims from Texas, California, and Ohio! I’m so sorry for your loss! Nobody deserves to die like this! NOBODY!
According to The Washington Post, the Dayton shooter is identified as Connor Stephen Betts, a community college student majoring in psychology and employee at a local Chipotle. Betts’ own sister was among the nine people he killed.
CNN reports 21-year-old Patrick Crusius is responsible for the El Paso tragedy and currently in police custody. The US Attorney for the Western District of Texas is treating the event as “domestic terrorism.”
The Justice Department is also “seriously considering” bringing federal hate crime and federal firearm charges, which US Attorney John Bash says carry a possible death penalty.
“We’re going to do what we do to terrorists in this country, which is to deliver swift and certain justice,” Bash insisted.
Rihanna is certainly not alone in her outrage. T.I., Diplo, model Winnie Harlow, Snow Tha Product and fashion designer Marc Jacobs are among the many applauding RiRi for speaking out.
shut your untalented ass up, let your songwriters write you lyrics, your producers produce music and sing, beech. nobody cares for your political opinon.
You just described Frank Sinatra, Elvis and Katy Perry
And Michael Jackson, Drake, Rihanna, Beyoncé… you’re the one who brought up race, dummy.
spin, spin, spin
The line “imagine a world where they build a wall to keep terrorists IN AMERICA!!!”…what utter nonsense. So a shooting happens, shall we now open our borders and quickly devolve into chaos? The utter absurdity and false equivalency of the left.
What she was saying is that we’re already in chaos and perhaps have more pressing issues than a wall at the moment
no we dont. a handful of psychopaths a year is nothing compared to thousands of criminals a month destroying slowly but surely our economy. If the economy collapses we are all toast
yeah beacause if the wall wasnt there the terrorists would actually leave america. The only reason these psychos do this stuff in the usa is because of the wall. that makes sense riri
Just as many shootings when Obama was in power
Defer and blame the black guy…that always works
It’s true though…
That’s not what they are doing. They are comparing it to the last president. Keep thinking everything is about race though. That’ll get you far in life.
Nah, they’re blaming the black guy…the same black guy who got blame for shit Bush did in his administration.
Give me a break. Everyone knows Bush was a joke.
Doesn’t Rihanna have a gun tattoo? Anyway good for her speaking out. The gun laws in the States are crazy.
no they are not just some people are. We have millions of law abiding citizen with guns who do nothing
I just read a comment on Twitter that compared a gun to a spoon in defense of gun rights. Amazin’!
betshe wants her body guards to be armed stick to being an industry pass around & enjoy your millions stay in your bubble
Nobody gives a fuck what these celebrities think… Oh yeah all Trumps fault lol that’s all I ever hear
Trump’s a “celebrity” genius
yeah trump is really a celebrity genius.
Learn to be racist offline
What was said that was racist? You just throw that around when nothing racist was said? LOL
It’s funny when public figured speak on issues that are approved for opining and trendy. There are an infinite number of issues to speak on in this country. Why wait until now to voice your opinion.
Not a fan of Donald, but What about condemning the people that committed the acts? They’re ultimately responsible. Can’t stand fake celebrity activists
If Hillary were prez this same shit would have happened. Just get as naked as possible and dance around while singing RhiRhi. Every time you have an idea you get a migraine, pore soul.
Yea it probably would’ve happened but the difference is Trump is inciting this kind of behavior( El Paso Shooter ) his rehotic about Hispanics invading the USA is one of the main reasons that shooter did what he did .as he said in his manifesto!
You’re delusional. Trump had nothing to do with this kid’s mental issues. Had Hillary been in office, he would have done it out of spite of something else. You REALLY think he did that shit because of Mexicans? LOL. Why didn’t he target a Latino church or restaurant? Is trump inciting the Chicago Murders that have been going on forever? There where more black men killed by other black men, so far this year in Chicago alone, than people killed in mass shootings across the ENTIRE US. The number is down from last year BTW. It was at its peak during the Obama administration. You’re a brainwashed person. Your arguments will guarantee Trump another 4 years.
You’re really indoctrinated into the lefts bullshit. Mexico is our neighbor, so yeah, they’re gonna get called out for all the shit that passes from their country to ours. Has nothing to do with being racist against Hispanics. I can’t believe you need that explained to your dumb ass.
There was a time when thots keep there mouth close…..
This women is pathetic, stick to singing tacky songs in skimpy underwear. Her political aspirations are just as rubbish as her acting
Maybe Rihanna should go back to where she came from, nothing worse than foreigners forgetting they weren’t invited to America.
yeah….just like the founders weren’t invited
Lmao, taking crap about the founding fathers further reinforces the fact that we shouldn’t take in unvetted foreigners in 2019. The founding fathers came in, and btw there were NO IMMIGRATION LAWS 3 CENTURIES AGO, and they went to war, and took whatever the fuck they wanted. Us wanting to prevent that from happening to us is common sense. So yeah, I guess we’re crazy because don’t want to be invaded and taken over like the natives a few centuries back?
Why talk? Stupid b u from Barbados
Lol, these comment sections are like the He-man Woman Haters club. Who hurt y’all?
Blacks are bad…ummmkayy
Your mom hurt us. Why won’t she return our texts?
Lol @ TI showing support to her comment about gun control. The same dumbass who got caught trying to buy a bunch of illegal firearms.
and yet she didn’t call Obama out once for the many mass shootings on his watch or for drone bombing children all across the Middle East.
..u need a pop corn uh.
She spelt you’re wrong .
These same activists didn’t blame Obama for the violence during his presidency… Because it’s retarded to blame them. Hell, one of the shooters was an antifa support and Trump hater.
Obama, Obama, Obama, shut up already lol…he’s black, you don’t like him (or any other black person who’s not professionally entertaining you)…we get it
So basically the guy’s whole argument went over you heard and you decided to make it a race thing?
No, we dont like the hypocrisy or the pass be got for being fucking incompetent just because he was black. We don’t like that he gets a pass for murdering innocent children just because he is fucking Black. No white person would get those passes.
Now fuck off defending a child murderer.
All this site does is post hate on Trump. never positives. It shows. They HATE Trump so much. They will blame him for horrific mass shootings.
Who do we blame for rapists? Trump? Obama? Anyone? Fuck no. Blame those who commit the fucking crime. So sick of people blaming other people for sickening crimes. Bunch of evil, slave fucks. Trump had better have Hollywood destroyed by the time he’s done in the Oval Office.
It is media buddy. They tend to be extreme leftist weirdos.
why is she talkin? aint she from the islands or some shit? she has no place talkin about politics, the government, what it should or souldnt have done etc.
2nd Amendment was written by men and can be changed. No civilian should carry autos or semi-autos period. It’s the white racists obsessed with guns cause they fear and hate others. they think some civil war is coming where they’ll kill minorities
Nice racist generalization there buddy. I’m guessing you’re a white racist, speaking on your own? Do you know where the highest homicide rate, per capita is on earth, per square mile/population excluding cartel and war zones? South side Chicago. There has been 246 people killed in mass shootings across the entire US this year. There have been 293 people murdered in Chicago this year. LOLOLOLOL. 98% black on black buddy. Maybe shut your ignorant, racist ass up. You aren’t woke. You can’t rap. Punk.
Fuck you, pussy. You’re the type of idiot that hands over your freedom to politicians no questions asked. You fucking nanny state sheep.
Thank you!. Laws are meant to change with the times. The Constitution once said blacks were 3/5ths of a human being and that women can’t vote.. those racist and misogynistic laws were much later abolished because they were wrong and dumb.
FYI. There have been 246 people killed in mass shootings across the ENTIRE US this year. There have been 293 people murdered in Chicago this year. LOLOLOLOL. 98% black on black. The number is down from last year, and it hit its peak during the Obama administration. I hate Trump, I’ve voted republican my whole life. This is all a media/leftist ploy to disarm the people. I don’t hear ANYONE talking about CHI.
Not a Rihanna fan at all but I’m with her on this. That statement Trump made condemning the shootings couldn’t have been more fake and awkwardly read if the teleprompter had purposely messed it up. He’s such a fake it’s not even funny.
nice one
nice one said
Wow. Rihanna is delusional. LOL. Walls to keep terrorists in? She thinks Americans are crossing the border by foot? LoL. I’d also like to have her site ONE case of a mass shooting done by an American, outside the US. This butch is retried dumb. No comment or money/time donated to help out Chicago, right? That doesn’t fit the narrative? 246 people killed in mass shootings in the US this year, 293 people were murdered in Chicago alone. +90% of the mass shooting victims were killed by Assault weapons. +95% of the people killed in chicago were killed by handguns.
Where’s Chris Brown when you need him? This trick is talking mad reckless.
what about the THOUSANDS of people dying from opiate overdoeses? Fuck war overseas we got major problems here…… Chicago… cancer…… overdoses….. I could keep going on n on… Scary fuccin world
People in this comment section are ridiculous. Rihanna is NOT blaming Trump for these attacks. She’s simply staying facts, he rushes to call for Muslim bans because they’re terrorists, or a wall for Latinos because they’re criminals, or for the death penalty for blacks in the central Park case. But when the criminals are WHITES he suddenly wants to make a generic statement about the incident. He suddenly doesn’t call for any rash action to occur. Yet you can believe MOST in these comments will ignore facts and deflect by saying “libtards blame trump for everything” No we just don’t want a clearly racist president as our leader. Won’t condemn whites or white nationalists but wants severe actions towards any other minority group.
This
Straight facts? He called the attacks cowardice and literally CONDEMNED the act. What else do you expect? What did Obama do? They’re all corporate puppets buddy. You know there are more dead Black folk, killed by other black folk, in Chicago alone this year, when compared to people killed in mass shootings? Is anyone yelling racism and BLACK criminals? They’re getting ignored because they’re black? You’re the reason he’ll have another 4 years. White people like myself feel embarrassed for you. I’ve been a life long democrat BTW.
Again you choose to miss the point, Trump will not denounce white nationalist or whites in general in these attacks. Had the attacks came from someone else HE makes it a race or religion issue. When they’re white he treats them as isolated incidents. Obama never did that, that’s the difference. But per usual Trump fans choose to deflect always bringing up Obama or Chicago, it’s like it’s impossible for you to stay on subject
Stay on subject? LOL. These ARE isolated incidents. Are you suggesting all of these mass shooters are some how in cahoots? It’s an organization? LOL. Chicago is brought up, because I don’t see anyone denouncing these “black terrorists” (that was a ironic joke, they are gang bangers from poor crime ridden communities). So everyone should demonize mentally ill white people, and just sweep the same base problem, that happens to a larger extent, in another city, under the rug? Wait, so you’re saying more people are killed in one city in a year with handguns, than people are killed all year long in the entire country with assault weapons, when everyone is crying about the dangers of assault weapons, so therefore it isn’t a valid argument that these same people are doing and saying nothing about Chicago? Dude, don’t try to debate a point with anyone over the age of 8. You’ll lose. I’m a democrat. I’ve never voted republican. Bullshit like YOUR racist rhetoric will guarantee him another 4 years. This shit happened when Obama was president, it would have happened just the same if Hilary was president now. Obviously Trump isn’t going to denounce anyone, it would make it seem like he had to, because they are part of his base of supporters. You act shocked that racist weirdos will vote for the white guy in favor of reform, and dislike the democratic woman, or the black president, when you are the exact opposite (yet still racist). I don’t see ANYONE disowning all the bloods and crips, GD’s, vice lords etc, Democrat or republican. I’ve never met an actual skinhead or Aryan Brotherhood member in my life. I’ve met TONS of bloods, crips and Surenos. I grew up in LA. The paranoia about white supremacy is less valid than gang paranoia, and I have neither. I’m a Latino BTW. ThE point YOU made was that when other things happen involving people of color, he jumps all over it, when it’s white people he doesn’t? You’re delusional buddy. Keep blaming the white man for everything. There are less white supremacists in the entire US than there are crips and bloods in L.A. alone. There have been 178 deaths due to white supremacy OVER THE LAST 8 YEARS worldwide. You think some racist jackass in a pointy hat is showing up at NATO and controlling things secretly? The Chicago factor will ALWAYS be brought up. More people are killed by handguns every year. It’s a 300 to 1 ratio over any other type of firearm. Once the government takes one class of weapon off of the table, they’ll slowly move to the next. Again, more people are killed in Chicago alone than victims of mass shootings across the US. We should just ignore that because it doesn’t fit your statistically inaccurate rhetoric? Again, I hate Trump. Kanye and Kim got him to pass that prison reform law. Saying stupid unfounded shit about the guy isn’t going to help ANYONE like myself, who wants him out of the White House.
One question. Do you think either trump or Obama has ever worked toward bettering your life? They are both egomaniacs as well as corporate puppets. All they want is power and fame. To get that they sell out to corporate interests in the form of campaign corporations. Obama talked all that game about change, but what changed? America became increasingly more unfair during his tenure. Maybe you argue that it’s the Republicans fault. Ok, then what happened after. Did he fight to make changes? No hes cashing out as fast possibly can. The same guy that denounced investment banking is now giving speeches at Goldman. His wife rented a house in the Hollywood Hills. Bro they dont give an f about people like us.

And who will blame her for being a promiscuous woman with highly suggestive lyrics that are a bad influence? It’s time we stop giving some of these celebrities a pass and recognize them for the scum they truly are.
Interpol will catch the bastard all of these attacks are linked.
