Lawmaker Has Terse Line After Michigan Shooting

Among the more typical politicians responding to Monday night's mass shooting at Michigan State University were:

• Gov. Gretchen Whitmer: "I want to thank the countless first responders for their swift actions on the ground tonight and the healthcare workers who poured into local hospitals to save lives."
• Sen. Debbie Stabenow (an MSU alum): "Spartans are strong and resilient—I know that the university and community will come together and get through this. I’m so incredibly sad and angry that they have to."
• State Senate Leader Aric Nesbitt: "My heart breaks for the victims and their families, and I pray they find comfort in the loving embrace of their family and friends."

Then there was this, per Fox 17:

• State House Majority Whip Ranjeev Puri: "F--- your thoughts and prayers." (And, yes, he spelled the word out.) Puri used the line in a tweet and in the full statement that accompanied it.

In another tweet, Puri wrote: "A mass shooting at my family's place of worship is what prompted me to run for office. A society plagued with gun violence is a symptom of years of inaction. My colleagues and I are going to work tirelessly to ensure change is coming to Michigan in the coming days." (More Michigan State University stories.)
