Omar Mateen, mass shooter.

[SlyPokerDog]

There is something stopping me actually, it happened almost three days ago and people don't care to respond to old news.

I just think it is a bit of a double standard really.

Really?

 

[RipCityDSCPL]

Really?

Yes really. People will talk only talk about something until something else comes along, then they will stop caring and gossip about the newest hot topic.

Why don't you agree?

Why don't you agree?

I'm not agreeing with you equating the single shooting of one person with a mass shooting of over 100.

I can't understand why love isn't more powerful.

So, if 99 more people had been killed along with Grimmie, a thread being made would have been justified then? Is that the kind of logic you are throwing at me right now? One life is as important as a hundred lives because each of those hundred lives count as one each

Please read the Koran. It's tough but it needs to be done.
Maybe follow that up with reading about Stephen Decatur.

A, your math is wrong.

B, I could start threads about 100 things. I almost started a thread about a toddler in Nevada miraculously surviving being internally decapitated.

Make a thread! If it's important to you make a thread. But to go into a thread and complain that another thread wasn't made seems odd to me. Look at BigGameDamien, he makes lots of threads of things that are important to him. I've never watched the spinning singing chair show so I didn't have a clue who that person was. You did. You could have... I don't know, posted some youtube videos of her singing, told something about why her death effected you. Instead you want to complain in an unrelated thread that no one made a thread about her.

How about this..

A.) Each of those people killed have only one body, so how is my math wrong?
B.) If you did start threads about 100 things. Each and every one of those threads would have responses in them.

Exit out of this thread into the OT forum. Sort the threads by number of replies. You will see pages of threads that never received any replies to them.

Its related because both happened in Orlando, Florida two days apart from each other. Everyone is so shocked about how could something like this even happen when if everyone had been paying attention to when Grimmie was killed in the same manner it wouldn't have been so shocking to hear about what happened today.

I don't know that that's true. Denny is happy to chat with you about the death of Vince Foster any time.

Gotta be honest. Im terrified of going to work tomorrow. Smh. Such a terrible event.

 

[Chris Craig]

Mass shootings are becoming common place in our country. Nothing is being done. Our government can't protect us. We must protect ourselves.

I enjoy working from home and small home-based offices.

We must have the ability to protect ourselves. From gunmen and government.

I hate having to explain obvious things to people but here goes. If you are counting a human death as a negative, 1 is not as bad as 100.

If every life is equally important as you say, imagine every human on Earth dying 5 seconds after the last single human death on Earth.

Mass extinction is a bigger event than a single human death, logically 100 dying could be bigger also.

I also remember starting threads that went nowhere.

 

[Denny Crane]

Government fails to do their job, that's nothing new.

Agreed.

 

[Denny Crane]

Say you want a revolution, well, you know...

Or a fight (for whatever) of some kind.

Suicide is a sad thing.

I like small home-based offices. But when ive worked from home in the past, its hard for me to concentrate. Instead id think of all the work i should be doing at home. Which is why i never have really worked from home even when its been offered.

I have seen no reports the idiot who showed up in LA was a Sanders supporter.

All the homophobes are lined up to offer "prayers". Fuck their prayers. I don't want prayers from people who hate me. Except for Cornyn, not one even bother to mention it was a gay, Latino/a club that was shot up. Just some anonymous dead bodies to pray over. Now, let's go pass another antigay law.

Florida is one of the states where a person can be fired from his/her job solely due to sexual orientation or gender identity/expression. So some of the injured in hospitals could lose their jobs when they recover. And have zero recourse in law. Does that sound far-fetched? When Christian terrorist Eric Rudolph bombed the Atlanta Olympics, he also bombed a women's health clinic that performed abortions, killing a police officer and blinding a nurse, and a lesbian nightclub. No one was killed at the club but many injured. The most seriously injured was a woman who worked at in insurance company. After weeks in the hospital, she returned to work and was fired her first day back, for being gay. She filed suit. The judge was outraged but said legally, he could do nothing. It was entirely legal to fire her for being gay. And still is.

Was hiking this weekend around Mt. Rainier. Totally remote and no access to media. Go into breakfast at the local watering hole yesterday morning and hear people talking about the largest terror attack on US soil. I hop on my phone to read about it. How surreal and sad. What a vicious and cowardly attack.

On the way into work today, there was a pride flag at half mast. I don't know what else to say, except that I hope that this attack doesn't add fuel to the fire of those spouting hateful things. I hope instead that the response from Americans is one we can be proud of.

Also, I agree with this tweet:

There was a news report I read that on his facebook page he talked about going to a Sanders rally and had posted a picture of Hillary as Hitler.

Not even the guys who anonymously meet up in public bathrooms for sex? There are a few stings for that and it is a public nuisance/safety issue.

I thought that was part of bro culture. Hook up in bathrooms. Hook up behind dumpsters. You know, bro culture.

Broculture is never pre-scheduled. It just happens.

Totally agree. Wouldn't have been able to do it if I hadn't first worked in an office with a total of 2-3 people daily.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Anyone willing to guess why people aren't putting rainbow flags or changing their profile pictures on Facebook because of this like they do during most tragedies of this nature? I notice, at least on my feed, people aren't doing the same thing as they usually do.

Seems like there was more of a social media reaction to the Paris Islamic Terrorist attacks than the Orland Islamic Terrorist attacks. Are we numb to these things?

Did he forget about George Michael? And Larry Craig??
