Since there had been reported incident of shooting in other parts of US and that reportedly the government is lacking action to come up with a solution about this problem, netizen lambasted Trump for what he tweeted.

More “thoughts and prayers” that aren’t going to change anything. https://t.co/9yaPxTI6i2

clear backpacks or armed teachers would not have stopped the shooting at the Youtube HQ.

Trump is neither a thinking man nor a religious one, so “thoughts and prayers” mean little coming from him.
We need action, not hollow gestures, to help change the developed world’s worst mass shooting problem.
Until then there will be another San Bruno next week if not sooner.

Trump and Republicans,
Your “thoughts and prayers” are condescending and empty.
Stop praying and start legislating!
San Bruno & YouTube
