Re: The Latest Mass Shooting In America
May be naive but I'm still puzzled how someone can be influenced by notions of 'white supremacy" in only 18 years growing up in this day and age. Guess that his website not being picked up and closed might be one part i.e. there must still be a lot of this stuff still out there.

Re: The Latest Mass Shooting In America
Isn't this a few high profile shootings that have been live streamed by the perpetrators now?
Didn't think it was possible but we might not be entering a new and more terrifying stage of these sorts of events. That surely encourages them to one up each other :shock:

Re: The Latest Mass Shooting In America
Everyone of these (and all the other) deaths is on the lawmakers who simply refuse to deal with America's gn problem.
If you cannot control your people (and thay can't), then the only solution is to control the weapons they have access to.
In 2022, this is ****ing appalling. I'm amazed anyone let's the chldren leave the house in that godforsaken country.

He doesn't like people living in the wrong land. Someone needs to tell him he descends from European settlers.
Hope he lives a long and miserable life.

Same way a vocal few in this country claim Anglo Saxon descent and then moan about people coming to the UK illegally on boats...bonzosbeard wrote: ↑Sun May 15, 2022 11:19 am He doesn't like people living in the wrong land. Someone needs to tell him he descends from European settlers.

Too many want the drawbridge up once they have a better life.
Also agree with DDA that the live streaming is a worrying trend and can only produce copycats.

Re: The Latest Mass Shooting In America
Agreed, but too many American lawmakers think that gun ownership is the answer to the problem. Unfortunately America is riddled with stupid, ignorant people who don't want to hear anything that doesn't align with their own narrow minded view of the world. Let them get on with it.Turns to Stone wrote: ↑Sun May 15, 2022 11:01 am Everyone of these (and all the other) deaths is on the lawmakers who simply refuse to deal with America's gn problem.

Re: The Latest Mass Shooting In America
he was inspired by that Aussie bloke that shot up the Kiwi mosques. He also livestreamed the massacre. This kid would have been 15 or so then & that started his journey to being a racist terrorist.Danny's Dyer Acting wrote: ↑Sun May 15, 2022 8:47 am Isn't this a few high profile shootings that have been live streamed by the perpetrators now?

Well at least that's what his manifesto said.
If his parents would have have fox news on at home he would have heard plenty about immigrant invaders etc etc taking our jobs & tainting our blood b*llocks.

Re: The Latest Mass Shooting In America
Just read about this, very sad news. When I was younger, I use to go to and through Buffalo quite often while going to and playing shows. Lots of found memories of the place. I actually still have an unpaid speeding ticket from Buffalo dating back over 20 years.

Re: The Latest Mass Shooting In America
This is why every ****er shouldn't be allowed a semi-automatic weapon. Over here, the crazies tend to stand outside stations ranting or chewing someone's ear off whilst coked up in a pub. In America, they get their guns, bullet proof vests and helmets, drive hundreds of miles and shoot as many people as they can.
Still, the usual people will shrug their shoulders and go "well, it wasn't the gun's fault" and deflect with some **** about stabbings in London or rape gangs in Sweden.
The USA gets what it deserves.

And we're not even talking about 10% of them, just a tiny minority.

Re: The Latest Mass Shooting In America
Four years ago today a 17 year old kid went to his school with guns & killed ten, and injured another 13.
In response to this Texas allowed more teachers to carry concealed weapons into schools. Which is the obvious answer.

Re: The Latest Mass Shooting In America
I clicked on your link and read about it, then at the bottom I clicked on the ‘list of school shootings’. Just in the 2000’s alone, the list goes on forever, there’s been so many

I just can't get my head around American culture. It frazzles my brain.

Re: The Latest Mass Shooting In America
:shock: It's like something from a horror film.One wounded victim told reporters the shooter walked into the classroom and pointed at another person, singing "Another One Bites the Dust" in between shots. According to a witness, students barricaded themselves in the art classroom storage closet, and the shooter shot through the door with a shotgun
