Another US Shooting

Watch the NRA campaign for the removal of safety catches now

12 year old kids don't not kill teachers.

 

Safety catches do.

Probably the most practical opinion put forward (under the crazy circumstances that go on in the USA) was to clamp down on getting hold of bullets,given the fact that clamping down on the guns themselves is never going to work. It's just so difficult to speak about practical steps when other often sensible people just go googley eyed when the topic of guns crops up. Starving the NRA of funds and classifying it as a terrorist organisation would be a big step in the right direction though.

Six people have been killed in linked shootings in the city of Bakersfield in California, police say.

A man and his wife drove to a trucking business in the city, where the man shot dead two men and his wife.

The man then drove to another residence where he shot dead two more people.

After hijacking a vehicle with a woman and child in it, the man was then confronted by a deputy and shot himself dead. Police are still investigating the motives behind the killings.

Donny Youngblood of the Kern County Sheriff's Department said deputies were called to the trucking business after reports of shots being fired at 17:20 local time (00:20 GMT) .

The deputies learned that the husband had confronted a man and then shot both him and his own wife. Another man then appeared at the scene and the husband shot at him, before pursuing him and shooting him dead.

The husband then drove to a residence on Breckenridge Road and shot dead two people.

After carjacking a vehicle, the woman and child inside managed to escape.

The man pulled over after a deputy confronted him with a firearm and then shot himself dead.

The Sheriff's Department said the shootings took only a short period of time and were not random.

If I had had an M16 in my car there would have been a massive massacre in the uk years ago. Throwing a pencil sharpener does not have the same effect.

See, thoughts and prayers are working, only four dead this time. Progress.

Maybe conversion therapy is working? Fewer gays, less angry wrath.

Grim that shooting in Crimea. 19 dead, 10 still badly injured. All the hallmarks of Columbine. The world is fucking horrible.

Made the BBC news as an afterthought, somewhere between brexit and skateboarding ducks. Shabby as fuck. 

[Jairzinho]

The BBC report on it is fucking hideous. 

 

"Seized!" "Annexed!"

 

Oh, and some kids died and that.

active shooter incident with fatalities reported at a synagogue in Pittsburgh.

Can we assume this guy is a hard left corbynite Marxist... or?

 

 

My guess is Fox News watching Trump supporter

 

The US right wing has really upped the rhetoric recently with elections around the corner. Don’t want to make any snap judgements... but this blood is on their hands. 

[Bjornebye]

8 dead. Fucking disgusting 

[Carvalho Diablo]

The insane cunts love  their guns more than they love their children. Barmy bastards.

Pointless discussion, if someone going full cyberdyne out of a Vagas window wasn't going to bring the problem to a head, nothing will. 

[polymerpunkah]

Have to agree with that.

 

Past the point of no return.

I do actually wonder if there's any studies been done about whether sections of the us population show symptoms of actual brainwashing, I'm not saying that to take the piss it's a genuine question. Fox News etc.

I’d be interested to see the results of such a study because it’s 100% the case. You only have to step onto twitter to see them in all their glory. It’s absolutely chilling

Whenever me and the Mrs or mates have been to America we always say the telly gives us a headache. The news is incredibly intense, the adverts and the speed with which the breaks come and go. We always say it could probably make you mentally ill.

Beyond parody 

[Section_31]

He also called for stiffer death penalty laws which, considering these people usually end up blowing their own heads off, isn't likely to be a deterrent.
