Re: The Latest Mass Shooting In America
The bloke who did the Walmart shooting has been named as Andre Bing, 31, who'd been with them for 12 years.
Apparently was so paranoid of the government he put tape over the camera on his phone.

Re: The Latest Mass Shooting In America
I guess there was a "mass shooting" execution in Oklahoma last week. Missed that one altogether.

Re: The Latest Mass Shooting In America
Reticent to post this because it’s very I obvious that this man is not well. Still, it is relevant. This has nothing to do with affiliation. This has to do with mental health and who is allowed to purchase weapons.WCpete wrote: ↑Wed Nov 23, 2022 4:27 pm https://www.axios.com/2022/11/23/colora ... orneys-say
Colorado shooter’s attorneys are saying he identifies as non-binary, which is likely an extremely cynical attempt to mitigate the hate crime charges. So instead of 20 life sentences he’ll get 15. **** off.

Christ almighty. I agree 100% Pete.
OK, the son is an individual (albeit a very sick, twisted one) but for God's sake - basic background checks would surely put up red flags?
Sorry mate - there comes a point when your country has to acknowledge that you reap what you sow. Until then, the shooting carnival will go on and on.

Re: The Latest Mass Shooting In America
Mass shootings seem to mainly be in supermarkets, schools, churches and workplaces.
My workplace is a supermarket next to a mega church and 4 schools.
I don't recall any happening in breweries.

Re: The Latest Mass Shooting In America
We are reaping what a minority is sowing. The majority of the population minimally would like strict regulations, but that’s not how it works here. I don’t acknowledge that we deserve this. I do acknowledge that money is more important than people here.Plashet Grove Pete wrote: ↑Wed Nov 23, 2022 10:00 pm Christ almighty. I agree 100% Pete.

Then there’s this person who displays a completely different kind of mental health issue.

You give everyone a voice....... some cretin's gonna talk shyte.
Social media outlets like FB/ Instagram/Twitter/whatever, just mean idiots can spout drivel without hearing everyone laugh at them. I'm not sure either that it's that healthy to watch them and take pleasure in pointing out their stupidity.

Re: The Latest Mass Shooting In America
Yes, that's fair. For the record I don't take any pleasure in watching them and pointing out their stupidity. I posted them because they represent attitudes shared by a lot of people here. Nevertheless, I hear you and I will tone it down.Tenbury wrote: ↑Thu Nov 24, 2022 5:56 am You give everyone a voice....... some cretin's gonna talk shyte.

So if non Christians are going to Christian hell does that mean Christians are going to Hindu hell, or some other religion they don't follow?

Re: The Latest Mass Shooting In America
The father of the July 4th mass shooter, who allegedly killed 7 people at a parade while dressed as a woman so he could make a quick getaway, has been charged with reckless endangerment.
Not sure what that charge means but it's good that they're going after parents who enable these shootings. The kid had issues, threatened to kill himself & others then after that his dad co signed so he could buy the weapons he eventually went of a rampage with.
If you know your child has problems, keep them the f*ck away from guns. Don't buy them more in the hope of bonding.
That's three cases in the last year where the parents did this. Sandy Hook was another.
Do you think giving these young men a gun is a good idea?

Not a mass shooting, but a school shooting with a very sad and bizarre twist.

I hope they charge the parents.
Keep charging the parents of child shooters.
Hold them ALL responsible.

Re: The Latest Mass Shooting In America
How is a 6 year old bringing a gun to school? And how does he even know how to use it?
Actually, scratch that. I knew how to when I was 6. My Dad had a 22, a small gun, but I used to shoot it with him on weekends and found it once in his bed room, loaded it and shot it out the window at a tree in the yard.

A six year old firing a gun? Whether at at tree or a teacher, what a f*cked up country.
