The American mass shooting thread

Thoughts glad it wasn't me
prayers please god don't let them take my guns:mad:

apprantly not letting inadequate young men have military style semi automatic rifles is sooooo hard it cant be done.:hmm:
Of course you can't call it a military style rifle or an assault rifle because its not fully automatic and your a namby pamby bed wetting liberal whose scared of scary looking guns. The fact they are advertised as Tactical
https://www.tactical-life.com/:facepalm: where they review the trump tommy gun:rolleyes: doesnt mean theirs anything paramilitary about them.
Most of the rest of the world manages it.
They play silly buggers with the mass shooting stats include gang related drive bys, and when some bloke decides to off his entire family then himself:mad:
both of which are horrific but different from somebody going out and shooting randoms:(.

you can dress up in camo gear and shoot an Ar15 in the uk or even a a huge magazine fed shotgun but you've at least managed to persuade the Police your GP and fellow shooters your just a bit strange rather than dangerous:D.
still safer than bisley target shooters if they corner you will just wish for death as they bore you to death
:eek:
 
Guns in america have the same thing here as I guess Tea.:facepalm:
trying to argue maybe some sort of control should be put in place when theirs a constant stream of massacres that doesnt happen anywhere else makes them look like you've suggested opening death camps for white people:facepalm:
 
Just read some really horrible posts saying that ICE showed up on the scene in El Paso and were asking destressed family members for evidence of citizenship... :mad: Quite a few posts circulating that are essentially reaching out to people that are thought to have been present and maybe injured, but left before the authorities got there for fear of problems with ICE too. :(
 
the chans have become the go to site to post your shit if your off to murder people.
but they are already such a cesspit people dont realise its for real till the shooting has finished:(

Their "sense of humor" already included rape padeohilla nazism and worse:D. Nazis targeted the sites to start "racial enlightenment":hmm: but you were already dealing with people who were Nazis for the lols.
unfortunately 8chan is based in the philippines to avoid being cracked down on

Mexico vows to take legal action against U.S. after El Paso shooting

Mexico on Sunday threatened to take legal action against the United States for failing to protect its citizens after this weekend's mass shooting in the border city of El Paso.

Of the 20 people gunned down at a Walmart at the Cielo Vista Mall, at least three were Mexican citizens, and Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard promised Mexico City will act.

Ebrard called Saturday's shooting an “act of barbarism.”

Of the 26 injured in the attack, at least nine were Mexican nationals, according to the government.

El Paso, America's 22nd-largest city with an estimated population of 682,669, is more than 80 percent Hispanic or Latino, according to U.S. census data. El Paso sits just across the Rio Grande from Ciudad Juárez, which has a population of 1.3 million.

The 'real' Donald Trump. Funny. Shame it won't effect his election chances with his lovely base.
ETA: BTW the idea you can 'reach out' to these cunts is ludicrous. This idea that laughing at them is a bad thing is bogus. The only way positive change will come is to get the lazy and disinterested out to vote because that base won't budge. Same as the Brexit crowd here.
 
I posted on Twitter about 'It's almost like you need gun control or something' and got this reply:



Like that country is otherwise exactly the same as US and as though it all happens because 'good' people are unarmed. No mention of all the gun-free countries where death figures are tiny. The denial is astonishing.
 
8chan far-right forum set to be pushed offline

The far-right web forum 8chan, used to celebrate mass shootings and spread suspects' so-called “manifestos”, is likely to be forced offline after losing its cybersecurity protection.

Cloudflare, a San Francisco-based firm that provides added security for websites to prevent cyber-attacks, has said it will stop protecting 8chan at midnight Pacific Time (08:00 BST) on Monday.....

However it's fairly clear where Cloudflare's priorities lie. while talking about 8chan coming back online fairly quickly using an alternate service Cloudflare's CEO says:

He added: "I have little doubt we'll see the same happen with 8chan. While removing 8chan from our network takes heat off of us, it does nothing to address why hateful sites fester online. It does nothing to address why mass shootings occur. It does nothing to address why portions of the population feel so disenchanted they turn to hate.

"In taking this action we've solved our own problem, but we haven't solved the Internet’s.”...

Zero awareness of the role the US has in other peoples gun crime too, especially in a country like Mexico. There's a huge black market for firearms there fed largely by US exports. Then there's the fact that cartel crime exists mostly because of the USA's love of cocaine, plus the decades long boot on the neck pressure the states' have applied to Mexico economically, politically and socially.

The Daily Stormer is still online despite being booted off Cloudflare (and multiple other services) since Charlottesville. It uses the Cloudflare alternative Bitmitigate. The service supplied by Bitmitigate isn't at Cloudflare levels of efficiency. I'm aware of at least two outages this year which led to the regular URL for the Stormer ceasing to work. (It's still available on the "Dark Web" when that happens, but only if you can find its address). I don't see any reason to believe 8chan will not find alternative service providers. Some will say that there's no point to booting obnoxious sites off services then. I disagree, although that doesn't mean I'm applauding Cloudflare for essentially engaging in high profile brand management. The Stormer may still be online but it's harder to find unless you're actively looking for it. And causing problems for lowlifes, however temporary, and being entertained when other people cause them, is it's own reward.
 
One really messed up thing was that the Dayton shooting, the shooter's sister and her boyfriend were among the dead:

Dayton Police Deputy Chief Matt Carper confirmed that Connor Betts is the shooter and that his sister Megan Betts, 22, was one of those killed.

Dayton police: The shooter's sister is among the dead

Having survived the American school system, and I don't used "survived" lightly, I can't help but think that these are elaborate murder/suicides. Bullying is rampant, as is trauma such as abuse and neglect, and just plain indifference. If you look at these shooters they have several things in common:

* a history of trauma
* a history of being bullied
* social isolation
* access to guns
* a triggering event like the death of a parent, or a bullying incident

I know that gun control won't be happening any time soon, so we should be focusing on other points of attacking the problem. I've heard teachers say that if a kid has one friend, they don't worry about them. Just one. A kid who is traumatized, outcast, and armed prone to act out. That seems to be an access point that we can start with.
