It has been 4... 0 days since the last mass shooting official shooting thread

[Kurt Russell]

Still no theories on what could have caused the woman, who recently went on an arranged date with a ResetERA member, to reach breaking point.

A vegan bodybuilder.

That's a red flag right there.

They’re not sending their best. They’re sending vegans. They’re sending bodybuilders. They’re YouTubers. And some, I assume, are good people.

Apparently demonetization is the most likely motive for the shooting. Why she shot those she did and not others appears to be somewhat random. She was likely looking for someone responsible for taking away her YT channel. Witnesses claim she stalked the halls with her gun, asking where a guy named Al Gorhythm was.

Story on the acquittal of the Pulse nightclub shooter's wife. From the evidence it looks like he probably picked Pulse randomly (he googled "downtown Orlando nightclubs" an hour before the shooting, after going to a couple of other possible targets).

Fairly depressing story in several ways.

Depressing for you:

We've reached the point where not even a naked guy (who thinks Taylor Swift was hacking his phone) shooting up a Waffle House is enough to get this thread bumped these days. Thanks, Obama.

[etiolate]

time to pass Taylor Swift regulation

[Atramental]

I guess all Waffle Houses need bullet proof glass and metal detectors now.

[CatsCatsCats]

I imagine that’s already a thing at some waffle houses

[Raist]

No. Arm waffles with guns.

If we armed guns with waffle shooters we would solve all this shit.

Well, here we go again:

Multiple deaths are being reported in Friday morning's shooting at southeastern Texas' Santa Fe High School, two law enforcement sources told CNN, citing preliminary information.

 

[agrajag]

horrible 

[Let's Cyber]

At least eight fatalities according to the local sheriff.

[Stoney Mason]

Clearly nothing we can do about this issue so no big deal.

[Assimilate]

Agreed, thoughts and prayers and move on. Who cares at this point.

are you really that obtuse

It initially crossed my mind that his brain just registered a black guy dancing in confederate pants with exaggerated minstrel moves/expressions and it triggered him so he immediately closed the video. Since he responded a minute after I edited the video in.

....But on reflection that seems just as likely.

The funny thing is that parts of CG's video could be interpreted as a critique of black communities, so even Ass could find something he agrees with in it. But he's probably too dense/triggered to watch it all the way through.

The second dude shouldn't be calling the Trump supporter an idiot, when his response is "we need more prayers".

[seagrams hotsauce]

nah i think basically anyone can call someone showing up to the scene of a school shooting with a pistol an idiot and be accurate

[agrajag]

He is an idiot, the second dude is also an idiot, just less so, in this particular instance.

[Human Snorenado]

Everyone is stupid to some extent, but showing up to a school where a shooting just happened strapped makes you a c*nt

[Skullfuckers Anonymous]

nah i think basically anyone can call someone showing up to the scene of a school shooting with a pistol an idiot and be accurate

The Trump supporter's an idiot no doubt, but someone responding to a school shooting by saying, "we need more prayers" isn't much better. Is he trying to say that God had the ability to prevent this school shooting and the loss of eight innocent lives, but decided against it because the prayer quota wasn't met?

[seagrams hotsauce]

i dunno, praying obviously isn't gonna do shit but i think bringing a gun to a place where a bunch of kids just got shot is considerably dumber and more insensitive than the defacto american 'thoughts and prayers' response

[Nintex]

Guys guys, praying might not improve the situation but it doesn't make it worse either.

Religious people don't necessarily think it through in those logical terms. I think it's more of a combination of believing that life is suffering and we should pray more for our personal and others' salvation and the belief that the society at large spending more time on prayer and becoming more spiritual is a net positive and will prevent further atrocities being committed.

[Nola]

A dumb cunt showing up with an oversized flag, a pistol, and a MAGA hat to offer talking points and empty platitudes and a guy who recognizes the absurdity in that behavior, but who himself is only really arguing about the manner and ways in which we offer our empty platitudes. Expressing a need for more of them. Since he himself likes his guns and farcically feels in the middle of that rant that he needs to let it be known he doesn’t want this to be perceived as a gun control rant.


They both are kind of crazy representations of the way a good chunk of America deals with these problems.

[Nintex]

Shit sources so far but apparently the shooter had a jacket with both Nazi and Soviet medals pinned to it.
He was also a satanist.

no you imbecile i just don't care. i don't need to gain cultural insights from a rap artist. frankly, i don't need to gain any political or societal insights from an artist. 99% of the time they're dumb emotional twats that don't know anything. fuck, you guys feed too much off pop culture.

yo have you guys seen black panther?  it's so powerful yo. it's so culturally relevant... can someone give me an interpretation of all it's symbolism? it's too dense for me.

 yeah who views art for insights on the human condition, lol @ you dummies reading into anything beyond the most surface level haha

[Mandark]

In the thread dedicated to when people are randomly slaughtered by gunfire, I feel there are things other than other people's enjoyment of pop culture to get worked up over.

Just sayin'!



edit: before I'd seen the news, I saw a Tweet that referenced today's shooting, and I couldn't figure out if they meant there had been a new one, or if this was one of the "smaller" incidents that had just sort of blended in with the rest. Not great!

People that have half a fucking brain. Art is there to entertain, to inspire, not to gain some type of deep meaningful understanding of, well, anything.

That's why as you go up the IQ ladder music becomes more about complex patterns and arrangements and less about some dumbass spitting rhymes at you.

Hey man, take it up with the guy who can't help but reeee when he sees a shirtless black man

If you must know it was actually his big nipples that made me feel uneasy. Nothing to do with him being black

I really should change "art" to music. Art can encompass a lot of things.

I just can't get myself about mass shootings anymore, there's nothing I can do about them and our lawmakers can't even agree on simple gun control measures so it's not going to stop anytime soon. Apparently the one today is the 22nd school shooting this year, ffs.

You seem really triggered at the casual inclusion of a music video that simply shared some themes and visual elucidation to what was being demonstrated in the accompanying tweet I posted. lol

 No one was demanding you watch it, let alone expect it to transmute a person’s worldview...Though had you not gotten triggered in the first 5 seconds because of black nipples and this reactionary thinking, you might of found something to like with regards to the bold.
