Shooting at live Twitch Madden tournament - four reported to be dead

You know, for someone who hates the American constitution and hates the American President so much wishing you were in New York seems bizarre .... Haven't you gone yet? This trip's taking some bleedin' organising ;)

I don't hate American President, their constitution or hate America, I just dislike hypocrites and liars. Trump just happens to fit the bill.

And I've been to New York, actually been to Georgia, the deep south!
 
A one time there was an Amendment which mandated a prohibition on alcohol, another Amendment later repealed that Amendment.

Not sure why, beyond money and power of course, some particular Amendments are held as more sacred than others. If they were all equal the US would still be a drink free nation.

Thoughts, prayers and other empty words will do nothing for those kids and their families nor the countless others.
 
Can you imagine the reaction I would get if I said (seeing as we are picking on skin colour here) "that black retard Obama". Instaban. But hey it's Trump, and I'm so edgy to rip out of him.

Come off it, be serious for a second. Trump is white not orange, no one is mocking his race merely that he's painted himself bright orange with a pot of fake tan.

If Obama had painted himself green then I imagine he would have been equally ridiculed, you comparison is utterly ridiculous.

Fake tan is not a race
 
[nra]thoughts and prayers, it's not the time to make knee jerk reactions, we commend the brave police officers who responded to the scene[/nra]

we've all been through this argument before and we'll go through it again, but at this rate i don't know what it'll take for any real change to happen because the blood of innocent men women and children plainly isn't enough.

"Acceptable losses to preserve our way of life," or something.

Our collective conscience has always been prepared to sacrifice a few here and there, when the need arises.
 
The suspect doesn't look like he was a very happy chappy and seems to have taken himself terribly seriously. I wonder what his underlying issues were.

("Bread" was one of his gaming aliases.)

During a YouTube livestream of the 2017 tournament, announcers said Bread did not show "much emotion" during his matches.

"David Katz keeps to himself. He's a man of business," the announcer said. "He's not here to make friends."

"You can't even get him to open up about anything, it's like pulling teeth," the announcer added.

Well Obama is black through no choice of his own.

Trump is orange because he choses to tan each morning so he "looks good all day".

So like most things making fun of an unchoosable fact of somones life is discrimination, making fun of thier own stupid dress sense or style is open game
 
I'm still amazed Americans think everything is fine.

Guns are just too ingrained in their culture now & no amount off mass shootings well ever change that, they are that far gone ide even put money on them accepting a dozen Dunblanes as a price worth paying for the right to bear arms. :(
 
I thought that is pittance compare to say Fortnite prices or DOTA.

Yeah, it is small compared to the massive esports events they’re now hosting at arenas. But the shooting was apparently at a very small venue. So I’m wondering if the events he competed in were much smaller local events vs nationally ranked ones. Depending on the size and the competition, $3.5k could be decent.
 
It's hardly surprising, people pour their whole lives into these tournaments and the fact that said people tend to be more neurally atypical is important, losing is a very serious downer for some of them.
