Today's mass shooting in the US
- Thread starter Rroff
- Start date
It is getting ridiculously frequent this year - firearms related incidents have always been relatively high in the US but I don't recall as regular mass shootings of the general public - usually much more criminal elements like gang stuff, etc. though not sure how much of that is my perception versus reality.
Man, it writes itself now, i barely need to offer skeptical positions anymore when the evidence is so blatant. I wonder how it will be until we get back to the innate intelligence and superiority debate that so ravaged the early 20th century.
Meaning that unlike the constant news coverage of the "pipe bombs" which nobody died or even got injured this shooting will be over and done with in no time at all.

This crap will eat itself eventually. Unfortunately though decent folk will suffer before it does. Twas ever thus.
Then they elected Trump and the illusion was shattered. Everything since his election has just confirmed the (now) obvious.
To be fair to trump mass shootings have been happening in the US before his presidency and will most likely continue to happen afterwards.
And the idea that the US is the greatest country in the world has been false since the 70s.
I do wonder with rise of the far right and mass migration of middle eastern Muslims how long will the Jewish population decide to stay in western countries?

Well one is caused by a very useful mode of transport that can be dangerous if people aren't paying attention and the other is caused by giving millions of people easy access to guns, designed to kill things as efficiently as possible.

Where would they go? Israel? they're far safer in America and they know it.
Its still the greatest country in the world, just a shame they have a total moron in the white house.

LOL, by what metric? The USA is falling behind the rest of the Western world every day.

Yeah, under FDR.
I have come to that point now whereas if it's on the news I don't care anymore.
Just heard the youngest victim was in their 50's and the oldest was a 97 year old lady. She lived the whole of her life, during which the world has see 2 world wars and the persecution of millions of Jewish folk, for some cowardly ******* lunatic, radicalised by some online nonsense, to shoot her dead in her place of worship.
We need to root these people out.

Looks like he posted a load of Anti Jewish stuff on Gab, one post just before he did this. They have subsequently been turfed off their hosting provider and PayPal have banned them from using their service.
Gab seems to be a bit of an alt/far right hotbed, started because other social media is “too Left wing”.

It's a perfect warning to any online platform of the kinds of people you will attract if you attempt a zero or light touch moderation policy. An absolute dumpster fire of racist lunatics.

Don't forgot Facebook too, since he had a account there, but since that's a "leftie" heaven, we will ignore that and go after other social sites. Zuckerberg thanks you for all your information.
