Mass Shooting Reported At Cielo Vista Mall in El Paso, Texas [Update: 22 Dead, Suspect Arrested]
- Thread starter DrForester
- Start date
How the police would know who are the real shooters if everyone start pulling out their guns?
Hard to debate that. If the las vegas shooter had a butchers cleaver, who knows how many people he could have slaughtered from his room.
probably best to just wait for official reports from the el paso police.
I wonder if these have become so common that people react to them like they react to a car crash or a robbery
Those people are idiots. Semi-auto rifles make murder easy, and there are conversion kits you can get online. At this point they should all be melted into scrap. I don't know if the perp is a disgruntled ex-employee like Mississippi or another manifesto incel.
i'd say it went the other direction, 9/11 truthers got a signal boost with sandy hook truthers.
Update
Nah. If Sandy Hook didn't do it, nothing will. Vegas happened and still nothing. The only way I see anything getting done is if minorities start banding together and forming militias.
Shopping center as back to school season is in full swing on a weekend? Hoping things aren't too crazy....
A shameful nation.
A shameful nation.
Fuck, again. :(
RIP to the victims!
America is broken, mostly thanks to corrupt right-wing politicians and the NRA.
Loved the thought of travelling the US but as it stands now, I'm never going to set a foot in this country until I see substantial changes.

Small rant here, but can people stop posting that Family Guy terrorist meme all over social media? Goddamn people are dead and dying right now, that shit can wait at least a couple of hours. Jesus Christ.
This is exactly what comes into my head when i hear about things like this happening
Social media boosted that bullshit. As soon as it became acceptable to believe in a flat earth, any bullshit was allowed. facebook and twitter are terrible for this country.
It's not just them. They wouldn't have the power they do if there wasn't a population of gun nuts to pander to. Blood for all of these shootings falls on the hands of every fucking gun owner in this trash ass country, who put the protection of their fetish/hobby above the safety and well being of society as a whole. They're all complicit in this shit. And they've been fucking normalized as "responsible gun owners" or "enthusiasts".
America did nothing after Sandy Hook and that was a mass killing of children.
The only thing that would accomplish would be getting shot at, or getting guns banned to anyone who isn't white.
I don't agree with it. Not like any of the republicans points ever make sense. Some guy told me, if you ban guns you might as well ban cars since they kill more people.
Same guy said, the climate is changing all the time. There's nothing man can do to affect the weather, that's arrogance. Those scientists are all corrupt because they need to scare people to get more funding. They've been saying since the 1970s that the world will end.
These people are lost.
WHen these happened we were glued to the TV because we couldn't believe it. Now it's just a, "did you hear about the shooting?" and that's that.
Sad shit, man.
That Bojack episode where people just say "thoughts and prayers" was on the money.
So goddamn sick of this fucking country. Hope those taken to the hospital pull through :(
It's Texas, so there were probably people shooting back. Hopefully not making things worse in the process, but who knows.
To quote Dostoyevsky
Man is a creature that can get accustomed to anything
The only way anything is going to be done on a federal level is if Republican lose grasp of all branches of government
My family members don't even wanna talk abut it anymore. It's like a cursed word or something. : /
Good moment to remind people to donate to https://momsdemandaction.org or other gun sense advocates. They have been making headway's in getting anti-gun Congress members into office or laws.

Ah ok, could explain it since three suspects sounds like a cordinated attack.
The magic number is 1000 (until goalposts can be moved).

Other way around. Fatalities = dead, casualties = wounded or dead.
Fatalities means deaths. Casualties means injuries and/or deaths.
Yup.
The blood of our children was sacrificed on the altar of "conservative values" and the country just watched.
Every single politician, regardless of party, complacent with the current law and NRA lobbying is responsible.
