I'm not on a high horse you're just in the fucking gutter.

The scutter in the gutter

 

[Sea Star]

It's part and parcel of the rising income inequality. Societies that have large disparities between the rich and poor are always more violent than those that are more equitable. In some neighborhoods in the US, the average lifespan of an African American man is less than a man in Bangladesh. You're also going to see rising amounts of alcholism, domestic violence, and falling health indicators. Welcome to our Libertarian paradise.

and having shit loads of guns in circulation doesn't help either.

Guns, anger, and despair don't mix.

didn't that photo first appear on stormfront?

This is the pic the beeb are using

 

[Belushi]

I really hope he's getting the best of medical care so he can recover and live with the consequences of his actions.

they seem to mix very well

They're using both...

 

[fishfinger]

They're using both...

They appear to be using 2 pictures, the one I posted above, and the one of him caught on video after the shooting. They don't appear to be using the one in post #60.

if they've got the death penalty in that state you'd have the madness of saving his life in hospital so you can kill him later in prison

add in whisky and you've a recipe for disaster

I just watched the 6 o'clock news and this pic below was on teh background as the anchor starting talking. I leapt up to get my phone to snap a pic cuz i couldn't believe it, but they didn't show it again, just more of the, uh, other guy. It's clearly not the same guy I suppose it's a mistake.

I'm sure we'll find out in due course.

TBH I hope they do their level best to erase his existence from the public consciousness - this incident seems to have been headline news across much of the English-speaking world solely because of how visible it was, the last thing loons like him need is the promise of that kind of fame if they carry out horrors of this kind.

 

[5t3IIa]

Channel 4 news says he's dead now.

 

[Buckaroo]

Planet loon spudders are desperate to find the angle on this. If he was white it's military psycho-meds shenanigans, if he's black it's Jewish-negro puppetry, it's racism, it's Ferguson, it has to be something, everything has to be explained. It's frightening and it's live on TV, it's Natural Born Killers. Channel fuck says they're all dead now.

Seriously fucked up

Yep, it's sickening how successful he was.

Disgruntled man in US kills 2 former colleagues: Big news in the town where it happened, unlikely to to make the news anywhere else.

Disgruntled man in US kills 2 former colleagues on live TV, films it and uploads it: Massive news all around the world.

Hundreds of people drown in horrible Mediterranean disaster: Not news anymore.

 

[ViolentPanda]

you arrive after the matter's been settled. why do you want to start a fight?

Impotence.

 

[TheHoodedClaw]

Tonight's UK newspaper front pages have disgraced themselves, with only a few exceptions. The Sun looks like they've added a fake muzzle flash...

 

[weltweit]

So, just 3 Americans killed and one seriously injured in a latest, but regularly recurring, US hand gun episode, gets worldwide coverage.

While 50 people found dead inside the hold of a ship north of Libya have already been bumped off the front page. Not photogenic enough perhaps.

The factors that control the media seam to want or to divert attention to this (usa) local news story rather than explain why 100's of people are fleeing a conflict, which the western powers had a large hand in causing.

The press will always make a big deal out of one of their own dying on the job. Its like the police pulling out all the stops if a copper gets shot.

No the media are covering it because the victims are journalists, and as it turned out so was the perp. Its an empathy thing, (that could have been me).

Not sure which conflict has people fleeing in there hundreds, but I'd like some more reporting on Syria, where 4 years in, over half the country is dispossessed.

tbh if a lot more journos were killed it would stop being news after a while too, as it was in eg iraq
