Ted Cruz said the kids killed in Santa Fe today made a “sacrifice”. No, you dumb fucking asshole, they were murdered. #SantaFeHighSchool

Reminds me of the insane Aggie cultists who declared that the 12 students killed in the 1999 bonfire collapse had “sacrificed themselves for the Aggie spirit,” as though a grotesque alcohol-fueled tragedy would somehow advance whatever cause these people thought they had. I saw this characterization more than once, in letters to the editor and online, so I suspect that it originated from a common published source.
