Public Shooting and GC Thread: Active Shooter reported at LAX

Headshot

Also… Not all body armor is created equal. Kevlar can be penetrated.

Lets end this right here right now.

You want to know why gun control doesn’t work?

Look down south of the border, Mexico.

Im now going to fuking hang myself for indulging you people with this shit.

mass effect is a shit game, so who cares.

Cause it’s a hot topic, and USA is a violent country.

But I still think we need to focus on mental health instead.

Compared to what? Our country is pretty damn calm, relatively speaking. So much sensationalism.

A study was released this year where they explained this. Mexicans, after tough gun laws, got their guns from (lol) the US.

So Cho’s record has yet to be broken.

This must be one of those cats Nasa was talking about. Probably thought he was saving their souls or some ish.

Oh well, after the media gets done making a few quick bucks off of this I wonder how many weeks it will take for this to forgotten?

sigh…

And???

The cartels make so much money that they could get their guns from China, Russia, or the same places African Warlords get theirs. That doesn’t explain anything, that just points in the direction where they got them. You think NORINCO cares who buys their weapons?

We never do. Doesn’t surprise me this happened just after that mall shooting 2 hours north of me.

I’m just answering a post you wrote. I didn’t say anything else. Though, those US guns were bought legally and given to Mexicans illegally. So…yeah.

It baffles me how people are surprised and in a uproar about this. Meanwhile in the Middle East kids are being bombed, in China thousands of kids are sold into slavery, and in Africa 40,000 children under age five die every day from hunger and preventable diseases. Once this stop trending on twitter, that’s when we will see if anything changes. We saw what happened with Kony.

People forgot about Anders Breivik pretty quickly

Not the correct attitude to have in this situation, at all.

fair enough, i shouldn’t have jumped the gun

No one forgot this. Wtf are you talking about?

(My gods, you…some of you guys are so predictable about this gun control/ban stuff I’m surprised Geese didn’t pop in here and counter throws half your asses.)

Speaking of predictability, I honestly expected some thing like this to happen before Christmas, especially with that “lackluster” shooting in Portland, Oregon that possibly gave the shooter(s) “courage” to finally do it.

As such, I have to ask this again, like I think I did almost a year ago: As much as both the news and I get horror-boners–@Kromo–from the suffering and misery of others, can we just make a general thread for “America’s School Shooting Tour and its Spin-offs”? At the very least, we’d get everyone kvetching about gun control who are never going to agree either way in one thread rather than it recurring so damn frequently.

Other than that, all I’m going to do is quote a bunch of shit, as per usual:

Yeah, there’s no reason to watch TV really save some of the movie channels, Syfy and whatever your channels your favorite couple of non-reality TV series are on. The national news is pretty much never informative, which is why I’ve made it a point only to try to watch the local news if I watch it at all. For instance, this incident has now already been reported non-stop for at least the past 6 hours straight.

Just let that marinate.

That said, as much as the news is a useless sack of shit, they actually aren’t all that wrong with the number jumping around: 18 kids died at the school, 2 supposedly died on the way to hospital or at the hospital, 6 more adults were killed and the 27 comes from counting the shooter himself who supposedly committed suicide.

They were totally dead wrong about it being a “Ryan Lanza” at all apparently, though, which is extra “hilarious” with the Facebook thing.

Considering how white this Newton, CT places seems, I’d imagine that’s because it’s pretty difficult to “stand your ground” against kids with a skin color the American public at large actually gives a damn about. Just a guess.

Key word being “should”. He probably won’t bother unless he wants to get stuck in court for months, if not years.

Personally, I blame The Walking Dead, especially since there’s a video game of that now, so it’s a two-fer.

You know what’s even better? The fact that, aside from maybe the two kids who died on the way to or at the hospital, the other parents don’t get to officially know for a while since the police have to officially identify all the bodies first, which will take at least a day.

Happy Holidays!

“So, I hear you’re looking for discount child-size coffins…”

Hahaha. Yeah, there’s a good chance of that ever happening any time soon. There’s an even “better” chance of that discussion leading to anything, and an even betterer chance of that leading anywhere actually being something productive that doesn’t just fuck people over harder due to how Americans only respond to fear-mongering.

Psst.

…Psst.

Psst.

…I’m being sarcastic.

I spent most of my emotional investment points for this week at over a 100 civilians dying in the bombings in Syria.

Yeh America is really good at not learning from history, it’s all about $ at the end of the day.

Okay?

This entire thread is a fuckfest of repeating the same shit over and over like everyone does “OH MY GOD THIS IS SO TRAGIC MY HEART GOES OUT TO THE FAMILIES” etc

Followed by a debate about what should be done with Gun Control and mental health services followed up by zero action, just forgetting about it until another one of these shootings happens and we can make another thread and post it all over again.
