So it turns out that the mean ladies from Twitter like to read stuff here to rage bait over there - apparently they have nothing better to do like volunteering at the hospital or for kids in need, etc. This post got them all upset. Smh
This should have been an internal matter. This should have been handled by the school district and the union reps privately. It doesn't appear other than what he said in his private social media one time that there's any other reason for an investigation.

Our work to elect gun sense champions is driving major wins for gun safety nationwide! After 12 years of tireless advocacy by our volunteers and survivors, Rhode Island enacted an assault weapons ban. 🧵

Two days after the Brown University killer was found dead, RIGOP
still hasn't mentioned the death of the second student, Mukhammad Aziz Umurzokov, nor have they thanked the PPD or any local police for their work anywhere. RIGOP were all over gun control though..

As a woman, mom, POC and councilor, I'm more than a little upset by the conservative lies that were flying during the search for the Brown killer. Conservatives shared names, ethnicity, sexual orientation, racism freely while the investigation was ongoing.

Mass deportations don’t protect working people—they weaken labor standards, silence organizing and empower bad employers.

So let's get this straight Mr Depetro who has a history of villifying the homeless, is pleased because he's gotten a lot of attention for "homeless hero" reports?
December 21, 2025 at 2:45 PM
This is a good article. I would love to see that local persons who knowingly shared misinformation regarding the killer, about their ethnicity, their religion etc. be named and shamed. So many of these same people who state race has no barrier, were the 1st to go right to racism.

Wow! I wonder what's in those files that the GOP doesn't want out
Breaking: The Trump administration announces that they will not be complying with today’s deadline to release the full Epstein Files.

They insist the files will be released in the next “couple weeks.”

White men are 30% of the US and if they look around the room and see it’s less than 90% white men they think it’s affirmative action.
85% of CEOs are white men.

All but one US President has been a white man.

65% of all elected offices are held by white men.

Roughly 30% of the population is white men.

WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS TOPIC EVEN???

Over on the other platform, the posters (all RI conservatives) are posting now that 1) PPD didn't really "solve" this 2) Brown is to blame for not having enough cameras. The sheer stupid of these posts and the amount of BS they represent is astounding.

Just incredible that a Reddit poster, as confirmed by the Attorney General, was the key witness who helped crack the Brown University and MIT shootings.

Returning back to this; Mr Depetro should be questioned about the stupidity of his comment and how he's used it to himself on Fox after spreading misinformation
I'm sure John DePetro was satisfied with himself for asking, during yesterday's Brown-shooting presser, whether the person of interest's movements -- including briefly clasping his hands behind his back -- suggested he was middle eastern.

A gross moment. But on-brand for John.

The amount of misinformation that was spread over the last week until the killer was found should be studied.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart to our law enforcement, public safety & first responder leaders who are doing justice for the victims of the gun violence in Rhode Island & Massachusetts this week. I am grateful to every person who is working quickly to keep Salem & all of our communities safe.

So I really hope now some one in the RI media can ask about all those racist comments about the shooter being Middle eastern or Central American/Mexican?

We have the votes to extend the ACA tax credits NOW.

But House Republicans chose to let health care premiums skyrocket for 22 million Americans in less than two weeks — and go home early.

We should be voting immediately to help people afford their health care.

I’ve been at Providence PD all week, where though the lobby is business as usual, law enforcement have been walking in and out for days. Investigators have been working out of a command center on the third floor. Investigation still very active.

The US Administration has banned Americans from *adopting babies* from much of the African continent.

Adopting.

Babies.

What trait do those babies have that, when they grow up as fully American adults, would make them a threat to our country in any form?
On that last post: I genuinely cannot think of any good-faith reason to bar international adoptions from those 39 countries. Under this new ban, consulates will refuse adoption visas for any baby from Cuba, Haiti, Venezuela, Nigeria, or any of the 39 other countries.

Does no one recall this either? RIGOP is currently politicizing this tragedy for all its worth - calling local law enforcement names etc all while opposing gun control:

It's been amazing to watch how the RIGOP know more than any law enforcement in the tragic Brown shooting - all while they and the media ignore that the GOP doesn't want gun control and cut mental health funding. Right @wpri12.bsky.social @nbc10wjar.bsky.social ? Will you ask about this?
