Public Shooting and GC Thread: Active Shooter reported at LAX

Why not just make guns illegal? It works great with drugs. Oh wait…

Am I the only one who just doesn’t fucking care anymore when this shit happens?

It’s like when I hear about people being killed in the middle east. I simply have no more fucks to give.

this is so fucked up. My prayers and sincere sympathy goes to all the victim and survivor’s families. To think it’s almost Christmas. :frowning:

Seeing this on the news made me pause and take 5 minutes. There really are no words to accompany something like this. I just hope planet earth gets it’s act together for 2013. But we hope for that every year don’t we.

2nd funniest post I ever read on SRK

First it was 18 kids, now its 20 kids, then its 27 deaths, then its 26 again. This is the most epic fail of news reporting I’ve ever seen. I think I’m going to just stop watching TV, this is what they mean when they say that TV rots your brain.

:encore:thank you, I try.

The newsgroups are so busy jacking off to tragedy they forgot to get actual facts. Oops.

This type of crap always gets skewed until the doctors start releasing death certificates. You can’t blame them too much on that part since numbers are always sketchy especially in the first early reports. But the whole shooter identity debacle is just lazy reporting.

Yeah, I’m sure some psycho with a gun who mows down a bunch of children with a gun really cares about obtaining one legally.

Yes, 20 of them injured.
Compared to 20 odd dead.

There’s a slight difference, no matter how horrible the act.

It’s a fucking start to make it harder to obtain the weapons that are capable of taking so many lives, so quickly. How the fuck is this even up for debate?

So what you’re saying is the coverage is being handled by Fox?

On the same fucking day, the vast majority of the 7 billion+ people that collectively make up humanity didn’t kill anybody.

That means absolutely nothing. I personally own 13 guns, which by your math means 12 less people own guns than you previously thought.

@SaikoStyle IMO: It’s because we live in a society that doesn’t have to worry about the NY shooting missiles at NJ because of the border. Yes, we deal with violence, but, not to this scale on a daily basis. While the Middle East gets fucked in every available orifice and even some made, American’s aren’t use to these sorts of “mass” tragedies. Not to say those that live over there want to be deal with it, of course, but there’s a difference in culture. We fight mass wars over social media/news.

Americans have put themselves in an microcosm of ignorance and only are pushed out when things of these caliber occur. Then once the initial wave of that come and goes, it’ll be back to business as usual.

You’d think that, but they’ve been busy interviewing kids and mixing up facts today. I know because all I’ve done today is watch Fox News :l

You know gasoline can be made into a bomb, let’s ban that too. I don’t even want to see what MacGyver can do with vinegar, baking soda, and clay.

it means that we have a disproportionate amount of guns in our country compared with others when you compare for populations, that’s more guns potentially falling into the hands of someone other than a responsible gun owner. i never said that almost the entire population of the US owns guns…

Lord have mercy.
