You are now listening to the hottest true crime podcast in the stream.

Hello and welcome to another episode of Affirmative Murder, the Equal Opportunity true crime comedy podcast. I'm Alvin Williams joined as always by my partner in true crime, France 11's.

Oh yeah, it's right in the minute, Mr. Postman.

Yeah, man, I'm the male man, can you tell me? Go and post it.

What up, Frank? Talk to me, man. What's going on?

No much, man. I am a live man. I'm a live and well kicking right now, so I think I'm very fortunate.

Yeah, that's saying a lot these days, man. Just this last week, not two weeks after we addressed, you know, what happened in Buffalo up at the top grocery store.

And a lot of the comments that we said in that episode have been, you know, kind of DM to me and tweeted to us and stuff about like you guys were just talking about this, which everybody's always talking about this because it's always happening in the US.

But it's just so crazy, like fresh off of that, we've said things like there's going to be another one and it's only a matter of time and all this time, the politicization and all this stuff and the conversation happens and go in a circle and all.

Everything that we are in another another cycle of it as we speak at school and you've all detect this was shot up by a 18 year old kid who bought a gun from a store and went into an elementary school.

I don't know about an assault rifle. He bought an assault rifle. I'm sorry about an assault rifle from the store and went into an elementary school and shot a bunch of kids again.

He was 18 years old and went to the school, the high school next door. So I don't really know what the logic is there. I don't know if he wanted to exact revenge on his classmates little sibling. I don't know what the reasoning was, but we are currently in the midst of another cycle of pointless conversations and, you know, political theater and all that stuff.

And, you know, this time, it's different. All the things that I've heard before and I really do hope that this is this time is different. But one thing I want to say before I throw things over to you for and get your thoughts is we really need to figure out what the word politicization means.

Like that word gets thrown around like politicistic.

I can't even say the fucking words of time.

It's basically politicizing. So politicization of things. So like basically, you know, a politician will come out and say when a reporter comes up to them and says, you know, there's something that we need to do about gun reformers.

You're politicizing the issue. That's not what we need to be talking about right now. People are hurting. Families are mourning. You're politicizing this. It's not about that right now. That's kind of the shut up. Basically, that's what that means.

Shut up. Like we don't, I don't want to hear that right now. That's not what I want to talk about. And the idea that trying to come up with, you know, ways to change this cycle is politicizing something is crazy to me.

So I feel like we need to either start calling people out on that bullshit when they say that or we need to redefine what that means because basically what it means is I don't want to talk about what you want to talk about. And I'm never going to want to talk about what you want to talk about.

So let's just move on. That's what I hear when I hear politicized. Yeah. So aside from that, Fran, we're here again. Yeah, man, you mentioned the thing about, you know, alive. And I have some thoughts on that myself.

What are your thoughts?

Just based on like the whole event and like, you know, as a parent, everything.
