Mass shooting at Madden live event (Jacksonville, FL) Warning NSFW (READ OP) [Up: Suspect dead]

WTF, terrorism is a huge problem. People NEED better protection, and one of the causes is clear as day. Weapons should be banned.
I wouldn't watch the video. I'll be hearing those screams for a long time.
Don't know what to say. Nowhere is safe.

Not watching the video. Nope.
I don't even know what to say anymore, starting to legit be numb to it. Getting mentally prepared for the media pattern to repeat, and all the empty "thoughts and prayers" tweets so some MAGA-hat wearing assholes and politicians can feel good about themselves.
For us as a country to wake up, we as a country would have to care more about our lives and those of our fellow human beings than metal contraptions designed with the sole purpose of ending those lives.
When nothing happened after Sandy Hook to curb gun violence, America stated loud and fucking clear what it cares about most: guns and money, even over the lives of children. CHILDREN.
We're fucked, this going to get worse, because there really is no bottom.

The man fought for his country and was a pow. Show some damn respect and stop being immature.
After a brief conversation among the team, we've determined this thread and topic goes above and beyond the scope of gaming. For that reason, we're temp locking this thread and redirecting the thread to EtcetEra.
Additionally, do not derail this thread with conversations about John McCain. Posts that invoke John McCain will be treated as derailment, and they will be actioned accordingly.

Ridiculous. Just saw this in my local news as well, they only talked about it for 30 seconds. That's the normalization of mass shooting right there when the airtime is 30 seconds for a mass shooting...
Seems strange not to also have a gaming side thread, given how many gaming side people don't come to ETC, and given that it's a safety issue for people on the gaming side.
I wonder who's being a dick, the person who points out gun problems in America right after a mass shooting or the person who tries to downplay America's problems of mass shootings by scraping at the bottom of the barrel of other countries, also right after a mass shooting.
Wake me up when something like Vegas happens elsewhere. I'll sleep a long time then.
That's insanely scary. I actually can't believe you can see the red dot on him before the shooting. The clip is just weird in a bad way.
According CNN, yes.
Depends on scale of event and location. If this took place in somekind mall then most likely there wasn't event specific security.
We're never truly safe. Politically, no one ever cares. Not about children, not about this.
It's hopeless. Spaces where we can get security, should get it. Everyone else is just fucked.

Not really, one dude was legit asking another to throw a fair one outside, these dudes were ready to throw hands over a game of Madden, and they weren't even playing each other. Little to no security.
Reading that it was another member of the community, think the black kid in the video is dead (Trueboy). Sad as fuck, fuck this game and the community.
Great argument. Really...
But keep being ignorant
He doesn't deserve my respect for what he did to his fellow citizens.
Adn yes it's the right time to talk about shit like this, becasue he wasn't the only one getting money from that terror organization
yes they are.... this is insane..... on a freaking video game tournement.... this is just crazy...
To be fair it is still a breaking news story. I'm surprised a local station would have anything right now.
In Germany roughly 50 people die by guns a year. Police killing people is also single digits.
In America, you approach ~40k.
Germany population is 80m, open borders. U.S is 325m, no open borders.
You don't need raw stats. Look at per capita, the U.S is shameful, 11.96 per 100k and Germany is 1.01.
You have a mass shooting almost every day of the year, it's so fucking common they don't even make the news and people think little of, that's how fucking common it is in your country.
Wake up.
My country isn't nearly as fucked up as the shithole that America is about gun control and terrorism attack, thanks. Keep those dumb comparisons to yourself and try to use that energy to work out about what is wrong with your country.
Sitting, enjoying a videogame and this happens. Terrible.
The story will develop further, but I wonder if this is completely random, or if the player with the laser sight aimed at him was specifically targeted. No matter what a terrible series of events.

Wow, I live in Jax. Welp I'm glad every place and even grocery stores deliver now because my anxiety issues and leaving the house aren't going to get better. Fuck guns. We have shootings here all the time but now we are in the mass shooting club.
There's a shooting every day in this country, so this is easy shit for you guys to just always say it's not the time to talk about it.
Get out of here with this bullshit.
Which is a slap on the wrist considering what those two could've done had they carried out their plans.
