Mass Shooting Reported At Cielo Vista Mall in El Paso, Texas [Update: 22 Dead, Suspect Arrested]
- Thread starter DrForester

You sometimes never know how impactful a shooting is until it lands in your backyard. (Lives in El Paso)
A good chunk of my family thankfully lives on the westside of town, whereas the shooting at Wal-Mart/Cielo Vista Mall happened on the East side. Still, had to make sure no family decided to go to Cielo Vista today.
Doesn't change facts though that a good sum of people sadly got gunned down and while arrests have been made, the situation is still very much active.

Nothing will change until we have a DDD trifecta in government federally which is just sad. We should be doing something :(
Sadly, this. The shooting will get coverage for a day, maybe a couple of days, and then it's business as usual. This country is seriously fucked up.

I wouldn't be surprised if the people behind this did it to try to prove him wrong.
What is the point of them showing videos of people hiding while people are getting murdered in the background?
Attempt to appeal to emotion to hopefully cause some change.
People need to learn the horror of these situations. Until then, being too far removed allows the continued apathy to take place.
In these situations the words mean the same on most news outlets.
This goes beyond Republicans even though they're the worst of it.
Any Democrat too cowardly to bring forth or vote for gun legislation is to blame. Any group of people that make politicians think attempting gun reform is "political suicide" are to blame. News networks dropping this as a topic immediately are to blame. Low voter turnout that stifles candidates who would bring forth radical change is to blame.
This whole country needs to change.
RIP to the victims. This is so sad... and IMO this goes beyond republicants and NRA. Of course they are at fault, but they're a sympton of an horrific gun culture that so many people embrace and don't want to give up their stupid freedom at expense of inocents getting killed. It's just a terrible vision of a big part of American society, one that ignore death of innocent for their "right" to own an object..
not gonna link to it, but someone, maybe one of the shooters, may have posted on 8chan prior to things and posted a manifesto copycating off the christchurch murderer, reason being the hispanic takeover of texas
no way to know for sure if it's true but smfh if it is

I'm still quite comfortable with calling out the main culprits though: the NRA and Republicans.
Only if you hammer that connection into people's heads, they will vote accordingly.
Yep, otherwise it's just a number.
Had we had more photos and videos of kids being gunned down in Sandy Hook there might have been more of an outcry. Sadly, keyword there being "might".
I firmly think we have taken that long look and at best, we have a split decision. At worse, the collective answer is "forever". I really fear we have decided this is tolerable.
Shooting becomes a norm now. I live close to Houston medical center and I hear gunshots everywhere other days. Medical. Fcking. Center. People are too quick to draw their guns. It's not about defending themselves anymore.
The fact that there is even a small chance this could end up being true is so messed up.
We had a fucking elementary school class gunned down and didn't do shit.
Trump packed the courts with absolute garbage so any laws you want will be declared unconstitutional anyway.
