Mass shooting in Dayton, Ohio [Update: 9 dead]
- Thread starter Sagadego17
- Start date
Because people have trouble comprehending that we have two serious problems in America (white supremacy and mass shootings) and those two problems don't always overlap....well we have lots of other problems, but those two are certainly in focus this week. It's fucking annoying and unhelpful.
Yeah. Kinda freaky to think that if I saw someone carrying that it'd take me awhile to NOT think it's a gun-like super soaker cause of those drums.
Even as a Canadien... I mean my oncle is pretty big hunting fan, I've already tried shooting a couples of time at shooting range.... and I know how dangerous and destructive gun can be.... but when I see this...you are right this look just insane...
I think it's important to address the gun problem in the US separate from ideology and background. There have been and continue to be shootings in Chicago nearly every week for one reason or another and suicide by guns and accidental death by guns happen at an alarming rate as well. The problem is ease of access, zero training required to own and operate, and next to no background checks. White nationalism is a very real and growing problem that should be addressed on its own because it is affecting people's lives in more ways than shootings.
This should be a huge deal, but no one will care. The president and his team are actively trying to silence critics and shape the feedback they get. Any tweet he sends, even if the brain dead idiot can't spell or mistypes something, should be set in stone and not even have an option to delete.
These people are too damn smart for me.
Lmao. What this guy thinks his backyard is like:

interesting topic to bring up, if its not in the TOS it should be put in if thats twitter's stance on it
He was a registered Democrat and called himself a "leftist" in his Twitter bio. He even calling for gun control on Twitter after the Parkland shooting.
Funny thing is, with all the information we have about this guy, mental health might actually be the contributing factor. He had no manifesto, no support of violent groups, no glorifying of violence, etc.
Being that he killed his sister, it was likely a personal problem and he decided to take out other people as well.
This is going to sound extremely insensitive, and I apologize if this is in bad taste...
He still literally proved his own point.
Regardless, gun violence is gun violence. While it's good that the public consciousness is more aware of certain magat terrorists, people have to realize that the call for action is to prevent guns from getting into the hands of ALL troubled people.
Damn. there is CCTV video out there. If the Police hand't been there as quick as they were, there would have been dozens more dead. The guy was chasing dozens of people into a bar and was shot dead right before he got in. Crazy.
Is the current assumption that he killed his sister because she was dating a black guy? That's the motive that seems to be getting hinted at...
I'm black so I'm speaking for me.
You're not gonna find us in the cesspools of the internet contemplating the murdering a ton of people...
Yet, people would still feel the most threatened by my appearance. What a world lol.
Don't think anyone knows.
Current speculation is that he was a leftist and that's all I know.
Freedom and the greatest country in the world isn't it?
Just seems like a deranged dude. Might have considered himself leftist but he also had a kill and rape list.
Dude was fucked up and there were so many red flags.
I feel like if you are found to have written something like a hit list/rape list or any kind of violent threats you should be barred from buying guns and potentially even having your legally owned guns confiscated. At the very least for some amount of years or some shit.

I'm trying to raise a little money for Everyday for Gun Safety on my Facebook if anyone cares to donate.
You obviously don't need to donate through there as they have their own site too. But I noticed a few people had shared my post and figured I would add a donate button in the hope that maybe I could help out even a little.

Ever heard of the Red Brigades?
Leftist terror has declined in the past decades, but it's not impossible for it to make a (sporadic) comeback.
I don't understand how all people that did not vote for Trump aren't out there protesting every single day until he resigns.
In other countries if there was this much violence, and it was clear that the president was inciting it, the people would be rushing the white house to oust him.

2 things.
The US is fairly tame as far as protests go. We will have a march and be done with it and nothing will change. I think this is largely due to how militarized our police is and how by the books and peaceful our protests tend to be. The media and government has done a great job at painting protesters as sleazes. Even peaceful protests are seen as negative if they slightly disrupt every day life. Such as blocking roads and such. Meanwhile look at Hong Kong or France and people are MAD and it shows.
People are desensitized. I remember there were plenty of protests pre-trump and after trump. Seemed like there was one every week.
But time after time again, nothing changed. Trump did something awful, this must be what breaks his presidency... NOPE. Repeat x100. it became a running gag on John Oliver with his "We got him" button.
I mean Trump should have been disqualified after grab em by the pussy. But he won. There should have been bipartisan support to impeach after he made vile comments, how he trusted Russia more than the intelligence community. How he paints the media and immigrants and enemies of the state. But nope.
People have been saying this since his political ideology came out and it hasn't happened. Trump's press conference today pretty much ensured that it won't happen either.
I'm a proudly-openly-gay man. I have a lifetime of personal experience knowing my own state isn't on my side, let alone the police and the military. If I rush, I know I'm on my own, and I know I'm losing that fight
I'll always appreciate this forum's admiration for optimism, belief that the human heart is the strongest force alive, and trust that justice always finds its place in the end of every story. But not all of us are getting that happy ending others of us will
Feels like he wanted to be a gun control martyr based on the gear he had.
/tinfoil hat
I feel the same way. The NFA needs to be repealed and replaced in one shot to cover modern firearms, and actually just ban things instead of making it such a huge tax that only rich people can buy guns.
The metal shit doesn't matter unless their lyrics are inciting violence/violence against women.
I think its clear he was just a shit person who has violent tendencies and hates women. He just chose to allign himself with the left instead of the right.
