The Active Shooter Thread

Not open for further replies.
Trump just Tweeted about this basically contradicting himself from a few days ago when he Tweeted about false accusations. It almost reads like he is blaming the kids/teachers too AND He's threaded the Tweet to a previous one about..... DACA.

Anyone else want to say the cnut isn't racist?

 
Also points to mental illness whilst conveniently ignoring the fact that the first thing he did as President was make it easier for the mentally ill to get guns.
 
Also going to post this for the umpeenth time given all the mental health talk going on again:

It's not racist. He doesn't give a flying feck about the average joe langster. He's shown it again and again. They're like animals to him.

Jesus Christ, he's basically saying they brought it on themselves.

It certainly reads like that. It’s as if mental illness is the only thing at fault here, when you can implement laws that prevent ridiculously easy access to guns for people with mental illness. Simply saying mental illness is ridiculous and insensitive too, seeing as it’s such a broad area. Adam Lanza for instance who carried out the Sandy Hook shooting was diagnosed with autism.

Are you saying he is not a racist or just that that post wasnt racist?
 
Maybe a compromise could be - sure, you can keep your guns, but bullets are banned.
 
RedSky said:
That post, he's obviously racist. But I think his main problem is he gives zero fecks to anyone but the elite. He doesn't have a shred of empathy in him.

He keeps talking about mental health, but someone should check his mental health. He is a fecking lunatic.
 
Don't see much wrong with that Trump tweet. Its a fact that people who knew him have said he was a troubled guy, but they never thought about reporting him.

You just need to look at the things he posted on social media to realise the guy had issues.

It's victim blaming for a start, and overlooks the fundamental issue entirely.

Plus the hypocrisy of blaming mental illness when he made arming the mentally ill his first act as POTUS.
 
So I somehow ended up reading a blog by Vittoria Gallagher about things PMS makes you do. Stupid internet click trap.

Anyway:
The right to bare arms isn't something that you can legislate out of the American culture. At least, not with facts, since gun nuts are just that, gun nuts. And the annoying thing about nuts is that they don't use reason.

The fact that Trump cancelled Obama legislation that made it harder for the mentally ill to buy fire arms should be much more in focus though. That's a fecking disgrace. In what world is it good for anyone to give fire arms to the mentally ill.

To whom, exactly?

"So there's this kid in my class and he's a bit fecking weird..."

So you're going to go around reporting anyone who has disciplinary issues to the cops? Also even if reported, no one takes this things seriously if they have no prior history.

Autism is more of a developmental disorder than the sort of preventable mental illness that gun nuts like to blame for these killings. I don't know the answer to this but has any mass shooter ever been diagnosed with a treatable mental illness?

Banning sale of big guns like AR-15 could be a start.

:lol:

Sorry to laugh just the description tickled me. An AR15 is not a big gun it has a pretty short barrel and the bullet is tiny at .223, so similar to a .22 air-gun pellet. What does makes them lethal is the the high velocity of the projectile, the magazine size and the macho reputation of them. For some reason people get them in their hands and they think they are Rambo or in seal team six.

Are you suggesting that cops should lock up all mentally unstable kids because one of them could tomorrow go to a shop, buy some guns and go murdering people.

And the fact that simply saying ''mental illness'' as the only reason to why these shootings are happening this is daft. There are countless different forms of mental illness. Is Trump saying that people for example with mild depression are capable of shooting up high schools? what mental illness is he referring to?

The mental illness thing is a scapegoat. Most of these guys were pretty normal before they decided to walk into a freaking school to kill unarmed and innocent kids. Screw all that "they were probably messed up" excuse. The NRA and their gun nuts would love for the conversation to take that route without actually having to fix the real problem. As I've said before, ONLY in America there's a debate on keeping your own kids safe from guns.

Well I have no clue about guns or arms. Not an enthusiast either. For me a semi-automatic which can shoot loads of bullets is a big gun
 
I dont think even if Lapier's (NRA President) children got shot, it will change his mind on gun control.

This here is the only actual pro gun argument. Feck off, I like guns!! Guns are cool!!!
 
The only way something is ever done is if a massive public pressure somehow evolves. As of now, it seems the American public keeps quiet apart from some angry tweets that will just be brushed aside as people “being in the heat of the moment”. They need to protest and in an unprecidented scale. Unfortunately, just like the rest of us, they have probably become immune to news like these and consider it the price of freedom.

Schoolkids who were doing interviews were saying students were wary of the suspect because they knew he had guns and that they thought he would be the one to go on a shooting rampage.
 
It's the same old trite bullshit from the thoughts and prayers crowd. You can't cite mental illness as the underlying cause every time the criminal isn't a foreigner and then also propose massive cuts to mental healthcare programs. Well you can, but you're a lying scumbag.

This is where the idea of referring to social welfare programs as "entitlements" falls on its face. If it's something that is in the best interest of society at large, do it. To not is the epitome of selfishness.
