Good news. They need to go after more parents of mass shooters who obviously enable their kids to carry them out

Re: The Latest Mass Shooting In America
A 52 year old bloke goes on a rampage in a tiny town in Mississippi (population 246) & kills 6 people, one of them his ex wife.
Killings happened in 3 different locations.
I looked at the town, Arkabutla, & it's so small it doesn't even have a restaurant.

It seems it's also the hometown of actor James Earl Jones whether by birth or nowadays. Apropos of nothing I guess.
This'll be yet another nutbar/pissed off person with a gun handy. Is alive in custody.

Re: The Latest Mass Shooting In America
Bloody hell, this 19 year old bloke in Orlando shoots his girlfriend to death at 11am, flees the scene then returns at 4pm & shoots a journalist & a photographer before strolling across the street, entering a house & shooting a woman & her 9 year old daughter.
The journalist & the 9 year old die, the photographer is in critical condition.
Bloke doesn't seem that upset about killing people...

Re: The Latest Mass Shooting In America
The fact that a supporting Delegate witnessed one of the worst mass shootings is almost persuasive. However it still seems to invite an 'OK Corral' situation in colleges. It's the same control or spread gun carrying dilemma.Shabu wrote: ↑Thu Feb 23, 2023 12:25 am West Virginia vote to allow students to carry guns at schools & universities.

Re: The Latest Mass Shooting In America
Bloke who shot up a supermarket in Colorado 2 years ago, killing 10, is unable to stand trial as he's schizophrenic.
But he passed a background check & legally bought the gun just 6 days before the shooting.

Re: The Latest Mass Shooting In America
Not America but a mass shooting at a jehovahs witness place in Germany
Is it my imagination or are mass shootings becoming more commonplace around the world?

You think these loonies must be a small minority, yet in a country of 300 m half voted for Trump which involves a fair amount of insanity.

I doubt if 150 million Germans actually voted for trump, mate.irving boleyn wrote: ↑Fri Mar 10, 2023 8:17 pm You think these loonies must be a small minority, yet in a country of 300 m half voted for Trump which involves a fair amount of insanity.
Less than half of that number of Americans actually voted for him.
More people didn't bother voting than voted for trump.

I'm not making light of this tragedy, but you feel someone will say if the sister had a gun too it might not have happened.
Unbelievable

Re: America - Guns & Mass Shootings
Don't know if you remember this event from 2017.
A bloke is sitting at home in Wichita, a couple of days after Christmas, when he notices a load of Old Bill outside. So he goes & opens the door to have a look and gets shot - by the police swat team.
They'd received a call from a man claiming to be at that address who said he had a gun & was going to kill his family.
However, it was nothing to do with him. Two eejits playing video games online got into a row over a $2 bet so one of them hires this other bloke in LA to do a fake call but they get the address wrong & a completely innocent man gets executed.
The bloke who made the call got 20 years in jail.
Now the family of the dead bloke, who was a 28 year old father of two, has received a $5 million payout from the police & city.
