Another fucking spree shooting. Great.

Is it wrong to suggest that if a mass shooting can take place on a military base, let alone the same military base, twice, where I assume the majority of people are if not trained in weapons use then at least familiar with guns, that maybe, contrary to the NRA and eager-beaver would-be citizen vigilantes, a well-trained and well-armed population may indeed have no bearing on preventing or otherwise thwarting mass shooters?

In the wake of the Navy Yard shooting, a lot of...shall we say Second Amendment zealots...pointed out that most of the people on that and other military installations are expressly forbidden to routinely carry firearms.

Are there gun-toters right now beating their chests, suggesting that if they were there on that base, packing, that this never would have happened?

Firearms advocates have said that, more or less, after every previous spree shooting, so I'm not going to go to the relevant forums to seek out exact quotes.

[That touches on what I thought was the least realistic part of Spring Breakers--during the restaurant robbery, shouldn't at least one of the patrons been carrying a real gun, and responded in what he or she thought was the right way?]

Spoiler!

Just kidding. They were probably chickenshit.

That movie looks awful anyway

The NRA has so thoroughly brainwashed its members that no amount of real world facts will change the overarching narrative, which is that Obama is coming for your guns. True, he may be waiting until the end of his second term, but he's still coming for your guns, and every mass shooting is a false flag designed to facilitate this.

school stabbing spree

Ban school.

there was a spree-stabbing here in toronto too, in an office a friend of mine works at...

Of course that happened at a human resources company.

Kansas. Seems anti-Semitic in nature.

So despicable.

Coverage from SPLC contains this delightful tidbit:

Our research shows that racist killers are hiding among us in plain sight. A forthcoming two-year study by the SPLC will show that nearly 100 people in the last five years have been murdered by active users on another prominent racist website, Stormfront.org.

Did I hear correctly that two of the three people he killed were non-Jews? What a fucker.

Yep:

Two of the victims who died were shot in a car at the community center, 5801 W. 115th St., Douglass said. One of them was William Lewis Corporon, a Johnson County doctor. The other, Reat Griffin Underwood, was Corporon’s 14-year-old grandson, who died later at Overland Park Regional Medical Center.
...
The teen and his grandfather both attended the United Methodist Church of the Resurrection in Leawood, said church spokeswoman Cathy Bien.

Like, what put this asshole over the edge? After years and years of hating Jews and non-whites, he just wakes up one morning and says, fuck it, might as well shoot some people?

Great question

From the BBC site:

"Local TV stations broadcast footage of police arresting a suspect at the scene The man appeared to shout "Heil Hitler" from the back of a police car.

Police said the suspect was not from the area, and that he used a shotgun in the attacks. They are trying to establish whether he used other weapons in addition.

The attack took place just before the Jewish festival of Passover, but police have declined to say whether the incident is linked to anti-semitism."

Not jumping to easy conclusions is entirely laudable but...

It's probably for legal/procedural reasons, I think they already went as far as to say that they're investigating it as a hate crime; same reason they have to say "alleged suspect"

another stabbing spree

wtf.

This is what happens when you take guns away from people. Way to go, Obama.

Wait this was in Canada? There's still got to be some way to blame this on Obama.

fuck. this is the first one in California in a loooooong time (I can't remember the last one. the 101 California shooting in the 90s maybe?)

Don't know anything about this site but seems like he was in deep w some real creeps

Jimmy Chang, a reporter for the UCSB newspaper and senior at the school, said he spoke with a female student who said the gunman opened fire on her as she was walking on an Isla Vista street.

"He actually drove across street to meet her," Chang said, repeating the witness' account. "The guy stuck his head out and says, 'Hey, what are you doing,' She ignored him, thinking he was just the 'typical, Isla Vista douche bag.' The guy pulled out a gun and shot at her. The bullet missed her head. She said she thought it was a BB gun, and she just kept walking faster."

jfc

this is the banner moment for the fedora red pill brigade finally realising they're human shit

possibly

doubtful tbh

Reading that thread I linked to is like going into a dimension of self delusion and misogyny and reading thoughts from people who are never challenged on their creepiness bc they just talk to others who encourage it.

christ, couldn't watch that video for more than a few seconds.

entitlement is a very dangerous thing.

Yeah, seriously. I made it a bit over halfway, but the guy is literally saying "not fucking me is a crime for which you will pay with your life". FFS.

What the fucking fuck

those posted YT videos look like a satire, his laugh is pure drama club overacting villain

Ucsb is a horrible place right now. Recent headlines include meningitis, rape and murder.

'isla vista' is not the same thing as 'ucsb'

but yes, isla vista has many problems
