Today's mass shooting in the US

[BaDBoY_uK]

As someone who lives in Texas, let me say that you are not taking guns from law abiding Americans. And the media is using children to push their / the left's agenda. Disgusting

Great way to going about solving a dispute or problem when one of the two opposing sides refuses point blank to budge on the main issue at all.

That's true of both sides, not just one. It's just that one side is more honest about it.

Pity it never happened under Obama. But it's good news that less guns have been sold under Trump.

Oh, America. You're so... special.

The suspect in the Florida high school shooting that killed 17 is getting letters of support in jail including fan mail and pictures of scantily-clad women, in addition to hundreds of dollars in contributions to his commissary account. Teenage girls, women and men are sending letters and photographs of themselves and Facebook groups have been started to discuss how to help Nikolas Cruz, the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reported.

...On March 15, a teenager sent a letter from Texas inside an envelope with happy faces and hearts. "I'm 18-years-old. I'm a senior in high school. When I saw your picture on the television, something attracted me to you," the letter stated.

The cult of celebrity taken to extremes. Doesn't matter what you are famous for, as long as you are famous..

Actually, there is nothing new about criminal notoriety-groupies.

It is a common theme running throughout the centuries.

America has more loons, that's a fact, but they probably have ~ the same percentage of loons Maybe.

Plenty of British loons on display in GD

Hope this isn't over YouTube's recent, albeit retarded, changes to rules regarding firearms content on the site.

 

[dowie]

or perhaps some far right person they demonetized?

but then again, how easily can an outsider get into youtube? Surely, like with school shootings, it would most likely be someone who is supposed to be there but has flipped out.

I'd be surprised if they could just walk in, due to security.

indeed, i follow a couple of channels (forgotten weapons/c&rsenal) and it'd be a shame to see the baby thrown out with the redneck bathwater.

guess we'd better get ready to re-start the cycle of arguing over why america refuses to do anything about this

 

[Rroff]

Yeah lot of educational and historical channels hit by the letter of the changes

Lots of weird stories going around on this one. Possibly disgruntled ex-employee tried to shoot their supervisor maybe with mixed reports it might be a women - not seen anything verified.

Is trump nearby to run in unarmed and take her on?

 

[Fr0dders]

place your bets now folks. "Islamic terrorist" or just another white american "gunman"

I'd bet on the latter based on this ...

[Pigeon_Killer]

Sounds like it was a woman who went to shoot her boyfriend and shot other people, she's now dead.

Suspected female shooter

bit unusual

that sort of thing will cause more media attention, if she's hot then even more so... (see "Foxy Knoxy")

edit in light of the above post

and if she survives and makes it about something related to harassment in the workplace (#MeToo) etc.. she'll probably get some female fans as well as male admirers.
