Authorities say more than 20 girls are still unaccounted for at Camp Mystic in Kerr County, Texas, where the Guadalupe River rose more than 20 feet in less than two hours during torrential rains that triggered flash flooding in parts of the state yesterday.
At least 27 people, including nine children, have died in the flooding, according to local officials. The families of three campers have confirmed their deaths to CNN.

Article says the camp has been there for a century, and the water washed away the cabin while the girls were asleep… Sounds like climate change to me. Even though the building is surely newer, they’d know where the river had risen to in the past.
Womp womp you got what you voted for…
Texas had more votes for Kamala than New York; Texas had 4.8M democrat voters, while New York only had 4.6M. Believe it or not, most states are fairly purple, and the elections largely depend on a small amount (less than 10%) of swing voters. Republican states have also largely relied on voter suppression to disenfranchise blue voters, rather than trying to grab the swing votes.
I voted against Trump but if something bad happened because of him in my state, some absolutely trash human being would still say the exact same thing about me.
Be better.
A tolerant society can’t tolerate intolerance. Fuxk them kids.
You are a real asshole if you think anyone deserves to have their children drown to death.
Trump voters absolutely deserve the death of their children. that’s not even in question.
The children may not deserve it - but the parents who voted for trump do.
For the parents - I won’t say so much that they deserved as much as it was predictable based on the long voting history of the state. The children really didn’t deserve it, though.
Saying “long voting history of the state” is a gross misunderstanding of Texas. Every major city here votes blue. We are so heavily gerrymandered that we get screwed every election. Texas is a sleeper swing state. I know because I live here.
Our local and state elections are 100% gerrymandered, but the presidential doesn’t use districts. Instead, republicans have focused on suppressing blue votes. Things like shutting down voting locations in blue areas, so people in blue areas need to travel farther, and wait times at the remaining locations are 6-8 hours, instead of minutes. Making it illegal to hand out water to people waiting in line. Voter ID laws, to bar people who can’t afford the fees+time off work to get an ID. Plenty of others too, but those are the big ones. Usually they use the “ensuring the integrity of the election” messaging to justify it, but it’s really about eliminating blue votes.
Meh. There’s consequences to our actions.
Ah yes, all the 9-year-old girls who voted for Trump…
He was obviously referring to the adults in the state, not the children.
Oh well then that’s just so much better, huh?
The adults in the state were not the ones affected in this instance. Unfortunately.
Parents tend to be impacted when their children die. Dying themselves is often preferable.
I’m not sure why fucktards downvoted you, because you’re right.
I mean there was that idiot that said he didn’t regret not vaccinating his child that died from measles.
Womp womp, parents not effected by losing their children due to poor public services they voted for.
