Re: The Latest Mass Shooting In America
Mass shooting at a church in Alabama.
Only one dead so not very newsworthy.
Once again local people say "you'd never think something like this would happen here"

Sounds as though the suspect walked into the church, which begs the question why weren't the doors secured and armed guards posted?
Thoughts n prayers etc.

Re: The Latest Mass Shooting In America
A little example of the mindset of too many people. He's running to be a Senator from Missouri. He was the state governor there once but had to resign due to accusations of sexual assault and campaign finance shenanigans (quite why he's allowed to continue seeking public office is another thread for another day on another forum). His latest ad suggests, in jest, maybe, that Republicans hunt & gun down RINO's (Republicans in name only).
Hilarious. Demented. And worst of all, effective. Polls have him leading comfortably.
after thought and an oh by the way, there was another mass shooting in DC last night.

Re: The Latest Mass Shooting In America
More people being killed in shootings? I know - let's loosen the law a little bit more around gun ownership - that'll do the trick!!

The US Supreme Court is run by white evangelical Christians and it says in the Bible that Americans should have AR15s to protect themselves from raccoons and bunnies.Loftyhammer wrote: ↑Thu Jun 23, 2022 4:20 pm More people being killed in shootings?

You can't argue with God. Just ask Jonah.

So. Let's improve matters by letting you walk round new York City with a pistol in your pocket. I'm not going to the US. Ever

EDIT: Seeing that this is done at CL finals too. Not sure why this would work against a terrorist, but ok.

Re: The Latest Mass Shooting In America
The rest of the world should offer amnesty to the sensible Americans (there are some) and just turn our backs on those that want to stay.. Give it 10 years until they have killed each other and then the sensible lot can move back. The place feels unsaveable right now and feel sorry for the non-nutters stuck in the middle it all.

Ah, but this wasn’t Chicago. Highland Park is an upscale suburb. Different county altogether. Looks like the hood in Home Alone.

Re: The Latest Mass Shooting In America
First line from updated story. A witness quoted saying, "This doesn't happen here." Does now.
Updated link. Man on a rooftop killed 6 and at least 24 wounded. So far.

Re: The Latest Mass Shooting In America
It's getting to the stage when you're surprised that you don't see a mass shooting pop up on breaking news.
As usual more guns will be the mantra from the NRA etc.
