3 McDonald's employees shot in Oklahoma after informing customer the dining area was closed due to COVID-19

Psamtik · May 7, 2020

COVID-19 protocols are taking a psychological toll on everyone, and that includes the people who were already extremists, already on the fringe, already fantasizing about the day they'd get to shoot another human being.

We obviously have no other choice, but the longer this goes on, the crazier people are going to get. Good luck keeping stores open when employees need to worry about getting murdered.

Brinbe · May 7, 2020

Sensing a pattern here

Fuck out of here with your guns. It's fucking insanity how easy it is to access in so many states.

And of course the people baring the brunt of this bullshit are those who are fucking working at a mcdonalds or a dollar store just to get by.

Breaks my heart how devalued their lives have become.

I know America is a large country with a very disparate population regarding the 2nd amendment but pls do all you can now/when this pandemic is over, to prioritise gun control. No more kowtowing to all these idiots trying to gaslight you into thinking anything else regarding guns.

They are unnecessary, they destroy lives and it is illegally exported all over world to wreak havoc on even more people. No more guns.

Have you followed American news for the last few decades? I rarely hear about mass shootings in other countries. There's a reason for that. I'm sure India has much stricter laws on guns. Like almost any country that isn't a warzone does.

You underestimate just how truly stupid some can be.

America will continue like this without bans on guns. And half the country is stupid enough to believe they have a "right" to own these death tools because some geniuses thought they were smart to put it in their fucking constitution.

What an inhuman constitution.

Everybody keeps telling me that the second amendment is there to prevent tyranny, but now there's a god damn tyrant in office and they're all turning their guns on McDonald's employees or using them to intimidate legislators into letting them get haircuts again. The second amendment never stopped being a tool for white supremacy, except now they're literally hunting down black people with no consequences instead of chasing slaves back onto the plantations

Honestly the constitution is a fucking joke. When this country was founded, the rights they established were intended for the white, male, and wealthy. That's it. Unless it's rebuilt from the ground up, it will always be that way. Doesn't matter what color your walls are, how nice your floor is, or how much care goes into your lawn, when your foundation is shit.

Exactly 110% correct!!!

Now rebuilding the entire nation is the absolute highly challenging part due to how strong white supremacy and the wealthy is so deeply ingrained into the U.S.

We are a country of 300 million people. I know this found likes to shit on Americans without hesitation, but remember that this is a very large country and you are getting cherry picked stories that are chosen specifically because they are outrageous.

Does the United States have serious problems? Of course. Are many of these problems unique to this country? No.

I do wonder how different the moderation reactions would be if we had threads constantly shitting on the people of other countries in overly broad and insulting ways?

I've heard that in some states, statistics for traffic accidents are up, rather than down, with less people out on the roads.

With responsible people trying not to go out unnecessarily it increases the odds of unstable people having encounters in public.

And these people are going to be emboldened by feeling like "rebels".

2nd amendment rights are the safest they have ever been in the USA, more guns were sold in March 2020 than ever before. Between 2-3.7m guns were sold in the USA in March, as people got frightened that a severe erosion in police and health services could lead to a breakdown in law and order.

How the coronavirus led to the highest-ever spike in US gun sales

More than 2m guns were purchased in March and the FBI conducted 3.7m background checks.

www.bbc.com

Every single local gun store was completely sold out of all guns and almost all ammo for all of february and march. Anecdotally the store near me told me about 50% of sales were to first time gun owners.

When officers arrived, they found one employee shot in the arm, two employees injured by shrapnel and one employee suffering from a head injury during a physical altercation.

I guess it's good (for the employees) that only 1 person was actually shot. Hopefully they all recover and are taken care of by McDonalds.

Surely my anti-vax governor wouldn't have said something so short sighted, especially after the state had already received national coverage for threats of gun violence against restaurant employees led Stillwater to scaling back it's mask mandate because, of course, gun toting freedomers are more important than the health and wishes of citizens at probate businesses. I can't believe such a smart successful businessman, who's smart enough to let his numerous goatdevil fucking progeny not be vaccinated, could have such a lapse in judgement.

If we don't get rid of Governor Shit next time around the state is gone. He's new to politics but ran off bring a Trump Jr, and he will only get worse the more we allow him to.
