You can also get run over at a parade, like over Christmas.

People are fucked up and evil. First thing everyone needs to realize.

Assume the worst in people. Don't trust anyone

Yes, but Santa and his reindeer aren't suppose to run over you on Christmas. It's a holiday, damnit!

 

[SlyPokerDog]

This is why I am considering getting a gun and a CCW. You can't trust people or the police to protect you anymore.

Waiting for people to defend the shooter.

Who in this forum has ever defended a mass shooter?

Audie Murphy is an American hero!

Sure people will continue to blame guns for this, but when are we going to address the massive spike in mental illness we've seen in this country over the past few decades? America's always had guns, but what's with all these angry and unstable people running around shooting up their communities lately? Seems like a conversation a lot of people don't want to have.

Lots of people want to have this discussion.

What do you want to discuss about it?

Universal healthcare?

Sanity test before buying a gun?

I highly doubt this is happening because of a lack of "free" healthcare. Again, we've always had a plethora of guns in this country and yet this phenomena is relatively new. There's something clearly toxic that's polluting the minds of our young people.

They are called fascists, and they are now the entire republican party.

Way to contribute.

Sorry. It is the massive elephant in the room. They have gotten as far as they have because no one wanted to talk about it. They don't deserve anonymity at this point. Only by addressing the problem and calling them what they ARE, are we going to be able to start the process of correcting the issue.

I'm sorry you feel that way.

Many shooters are known to be crazy. Lower the bar for getting them committed.

Commit them to where?

Commit them to where?

Bring back mental asylums.

What better way to “celebrate” the good old USA? Apple Pie, some baseball, a 4th parade, a shooting, maybe someone was forced to give birth on a float, if they are serious.

 

[Chris Craig]

There isn't much to celebrate anymore.

[BigGameDamian]

Did they get the shooter?

No, he’s still at large.

 

[MickZagger]

Sly, you get any pictures of people getting their head blown off?

 

[Chris Craig]

No, he’s still at large.

They need to get the SOB quick. It's possible he came from another area like the New York shooter and is already in the wind. They should have some kind of video of him by now. Lots of cameras everywhere these days. Fingerprints on the rifle he left behind.

 

[Chris Craig]

Sly, you get any pictures of people getting their head blown off?

Come on dude

 

[MickZagger]

The kid's legs and shoes have blood on them.

Very sad.

The world has become a sick fucked up place

 

[MickZagger]

Come on dude

Hey I didn’t post them, nor do I want to see them

 

[Chris Craig]

Hey I didn’t post them, nor do I want to see them

Is there video in this thread of people getting killed? I know there is a picture with some dead bodies. I'm not a fan of that shit being posted. I try to have respect for the dead. But, maybe it needs to be seen, so shit like this can be stopped.

 

[MickZagger]

The shooter didn’t act alone.

He was assisted by 50 senators. 210 House members and the NRA

 

[crandc]

Other countries have mental illness.

Other countries have mental illness.

But not access to semi automatic killing machines
