Public Shooting and GC Thread: Active Shooter reported at LAX

What gave it away: the purple shoulderpads, or the flamboyant hand gestures?

I do, and they specifically discussed in their journals wanting to write their names into history.

EDIT: Meh, better to practice what I preach.

I understand how people can make mistakes, but CNN AND Fox both have the WRONG guy. They are the ones who are supposed to the facts straight before anybody else, they ARE the news.

Surprised this didn’t happen in Florida tbh

4:07pm CBS finally says that they got the name wrong.

Yup. This guy will be famous and on the cover of a bunch of magazines and talked about in news media outlets. Our society has a boner for people who kill/are killed in the public eye. This guy will be a media martyr just like those two shits who shot up Columbine.

One possibly good thing to come out of this is that guy who CNN mis-identified should get some compensation. That’s pretty fucked up.

How do you make this mistake? “The shooter is confirmed dead inside the school. We go live to his Facebook account, where he is angrily cursing our network in real time.”

If I was him, I’d sue the ever-loving shit out of CNN. He’d be totally justified in doing so

Oh don’t worry - law firms are probably beating down his door, DM & PMing him as we speak.

They now say Adam (Ryan’s brother) is the shooter and Ryan is in Jersey being questioned.

perfect example on how the media misinformed its viewers with false facts

The “Ryan Lanza” trend is so frustrating to read. People are friggin’ clueless.

Yup that is what they said now. So I guess Ryan is not completely out of the woods yet in terms of getting harassed by police officials.

Isn’t this the second time they fucked up a report badly within the last three months?

“Wait, his dad might not be dead after all, despite what we’ve reported for an hour! How do we keep our jobs? All this, and Andy Rooney, tonight on 60 Minutes.”

the US has the highest per-capita rate of gun ownership in the world at 88.9 guns per 100 people… how exactly are guns hard to obtain?

This is the type of thing that really just hurts me deep in my soul and whats worse is yall are probably right, nothing will be learned from this.

To the people who said "we need to control/ban guns."
You guys are fucking idiots.

On the same fucking day, a Chinese man stabbed over 20+ children.

We don’t need to ban guns.
We need to ban humanity.

Hurry up December 21st. We’re impatiently waiting.

Someone offered to buy the innocent Ryan Lanza’s Twitter account.

SMH.
