To be expected. Hell we had a 3 page discussion on another shooting where people here wouldn’t even open the door for a kid shot and people agreed with that take. We are shitty people 

dude, in no way should those two situation be compared. i would assume 100% people in the middle of a chaotic shooting scene would duck and run.

    The "we can't solve 100% of the problem so we shouldn't make any attempt at all" line of thinking is a big reason why we are where we are.

OOPS. I said clip instead of magazine. Therefore, my sarcasm is invalid, and we should spend the next 300 posts discussing proper terminology.

This is the American dream. The greatest country in the world! This isn’t even a problem…and if it IS…well, the solution is easy: WE NEED EVEN MORE GUNS! EVERY PERSON OVER 2 YEARS OF AGE SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO CARRY AN AR FOR DEFENSE! AND OUR OURLET MALLS SHOULD HAVE DEFENSIVE .50 CAL MACHINE GUN NESTS ON THE ROOFLINE EVERY 100 YARDS, MANNED BY RETIRED VETERANS!

only Veterans from Red States. 

Do you think Raphael has this tweet sentence in the notes section of his phone? Just have to change out the name of city/county.

from Cancun?

One thing we never hear anymore is, "This is the kind of place you would never expect something like this to happen."
It was always inane and more than a little racist/classist. Now, we're all equal opportunity victims. There is no place where something like this would be totally unexpected. Churches, schools, little towns, big towns, shopping malls, movie theaters, you name it.
Envy of the world.

Yeah. Envy of the world. Greatest country ever. I love the lies we tell ourselves.

Was visiting my daughter in Gothenburg last week. She was telling us about a shocking act of violence that really threw the city on its heels recently. I mean, the kind of horrific act that made people stop and ask “wait, what the hell is wrong with us?” That act being…a random stabbing in the city center. A mentally ill woman stabbed another woman (she survived).
A single, non-fatal stabbing made the entire city sit down and re-evaluate shit.
Here…that would be the least violent event in the news cycle every single day.
If they had a shooting like we just had in Allen A FEW FUCKING HOURS AGO, the whole country would stop. Of course, they give something of a shit about other human beings and human life.
We…do not. In fact, giving a shit about others is the crime of being “woke.” Only by being max selfish, and treating other people like shit, can we demonstrate how true American we really are.

We are a broken fucking country. And our main response to this shit is “let’s make it even WORSE.” Fuck.

I'm intrigued about the police response time as it's been established a cop there, on another call, killed the gunman at 3.36pm. The dashcam twitter shows 2:55pm start time.

Just a heads up. That thread, just a few tweets down, has a photo of casualties before they were covered up. One appears to be a very young child. I wish I had known before I saw it.

I wish every person who thinks unregulated access to firearms is a great idea could see that photo. But they'd probably just say that it's too bad a good guy with a gun wasn't instantly present to dispatch the shooter in the 5 seconds it took him to get out of his car and murder 5 children.

I can’t recall the last time I accidentally viewed a photo of an elementary school kid with their brains blown out but maybe I just internet different that’s a lot of folks.

Actually, this collin county resident isn’t surprised at all. Mission accomplished republicans: mass shootings are normalized. Fuck anyone who votes republican.

Yep. If I owned a billboard, I’d put that photo, and others like it, right there on I-35, so nobody could avoid seeing the truth.
The truth being that we have chosen this. This is a policy success.

I sing even know what to say do about guns anymore.

Mandatory buybacks of automatic and semiautomatic weapons are the only thing that would make a difference at this point; and they are both politically untenable in a large portion of the country and would still result in significant number of casualties.

This problem isn’t going to get solved.

I’m not a ghoul, but what you witnessed is what happens when everybody in America is allowed to buy assault type weapons. It’s especially true in Texas where permits, licenses and training are not a requirement to purchase.

I don’t want to see it but feel free to post it in the gun owners thread with a spoiler, because the people there should bear witness if they are going to oppose red flag laws.

Good luck. Billboards are for medical disinformation in Texas.

Active shooter prank at Walmart.
 

That's probably about the only thing that will end the nightmare.  Once Walmart sees their foot traffic dwindle and Amazon take their profits they'll dump some money into anti-gunnery candidates.  In return they'll ask for a $4 an hour minimum wage.

Update: 9 dead. 3 critical in Allen.

That could be true. I just saw the crawl on the local station. It didn’t distinguish between victims and perpetrators.

If Sandy Hook couldn't make a difference, a photo of a single child killed won't move the needle.

as he walked out, a reporter asked about the gunman, and he said that was one of the 9.  

I'm interested in 2 things 

- timeline , when did it start and end? Was it 40 minutes or closer to 5? 

- all types of store/parking lot surveillance video.  Anything from phones/dashcams too.  This is going to take a long time to piece together. 

This tweet isn’t wrong. We’ve chosen a path where the only possible outcomes are one extreme or the other. It’s insanely stupid, but that’s what we’ve picked.

Weird. I’m not remotely interested in any of the minutiae.

Thoughts and prayers may have prevented millions of shootings.  You just can’t know because you can’t count things that didn’t happen.

It’s not insane. It’s the gloating of the victor. She’s not even serious about the “solutions” in her second post. The first pair was the point.
The gun nuts look at each shattered body as a sign that they’ve won. The broken corpses are actually trophies. An undeniable piece of proof that victory is theirs.
And she’s right. They’ve won. Not only can we not do ANYTHING to reduce the dissemination and use of weapons of mass killing, the gun nuts are ensuring that the proliferation of those weapons is increasing at an astonishing rate. And then, they blame THE REST OF US when the inevitable happens.
It’s evil, of course. But that’s the game these days. Just unbridled evil.

Mexico. Or Iraqi oil. Take your pick.

This is what got me. She somehow is blaming the gun control advocates for the proliferation of mass shootings. Just wow.
