I'm coming around to your way of thinking, complete wrong-uns.

They say 'no more than 10' as if that is some kind of victory to celebrate! What a country. The Native Americans should just get together again and wait for all those European 'conquerers' to wipe each other out and take back their original homelands.

The story of the ex-soldier running towards the shooter is amazing.  Brave guy.

They were holding an all age drag night apparently. There's been increasing violence against trans and drag people in America, especially with the Proud Boys.

The shooter would seem to identify as non-binary.

That is hilarious,but equally tragic that it's heavily based on fact.

My American cousin visited early this year while travelling and it was lovely to see her as she had just turned 70 we hadn't see her for about 25 years. Anyway,we talked a lot about the US and family and she was telling me that she has fallen out with a lot of her family because of their crazy views. She is a lot like us,very liberal,open minded and cares about things like the environment and poor treatment of foreign workers etc. She has a brother who is your typical Trumpist and she,naturally,doesnt see eye to eye as he's a second amendment 'guns for breakfast,dinner and tea etc. He befriended me on facebook but after a couple of posts I deleted him as I had a feeling he was that way. Her Mum,my Dad's sister met her husband and my Uncle through him being stationed in the USAF in Europe in the 1950s and he was a lovely quiet man from a large family in Georgia. My cousin also doesn't speak to them as they are religious nutters. My cousin has travelled extensively around the world over the years and I think this is why,alongside some familial DNA,that she is so open in her thinking. Similarly,my Uncle and her Dad travelled through being in the Air Force and his kids lived in Spain and Guam,plus elsewhere during their childhood before settling in California near Vandenburgh Air Base where he was finally stationed. This is a long winded way of saying that 'travel broadens the mind' and opens up the thought processes. The insularity of many Americans is a major cause of 'Trumpism' and religious fanatasism that is rife over there and other cultures aren't allowed to seep in too much other than in 'harmless' ways like food and fashion etc.

Well, that must be a relief to the people that were murdered.

I think it’s a relief to the women who were blamed for it.

My uncle (Scouser) lives in the States now and he's into all the pro gun ownership stuff (he's not got one, just think he's bought into the glamorised view of the land of the free stuff) and he posted a vid the other day of some bloke trying to rob a cashier in the supermarket with a knife in Texas and one of the customers pulled out a gun and threatened to fill his ass up with some hot ones, so he dropped the knife. I suppose that's another side of the argument.

Over here they'd threaten the cashier with a knife and customer would pull out and threaten the raider with a baguette. 'Not that type of bread.'

Who's done that?

Many people, my favourite being Billy Bragg.  Prominent trans activists in the U.K. and US.  Katy Montgomerie for example.

Living the saying  of bringing a knife to a gun fight.

 

if the robber had read this thread, he would have known he’d need a gun, as they’re all armed to the teeth in America.

Trans activists, apparently with no sense of irony, are now pouring doubt on whether the shooter's self-identification is accurate.

It’s astonishing isn’t it?

I wish it was.

 

If only someone had warned us that bad faith actors could pretend to be something they were not in order to perpetrate crimes.

How many times could they be told?
