    There is no such thing as a right wing talking point.  Congrats, you’ve picked up on the buzzword from the last Dem debate when they didn’t want to answer a question.  It’s easy not to answer and brush off. You are aware of the false reporting of hate crimes I assume?  Now if we are to directly have a debate about mass shootings and hate crimes, let’s examine them.  There were two these past few days.  One of a far rightest, and one of a far leftist.  Can we agree on that and move forward?
    Ofc, I am aware of the false reporting because white supremacy is a hoax.

    Interesting enough, a Chicago hospital closed its doors to taking any more er patients. The reason they were overwhelmed by gunshot victims.  Why isn’t this big news and set off any bells?  Doesn’t Chicago already have some of the strictest gun laws?  Please correct me if I’m wrong and please tell me why this isn’t big news?
    stopped taking ambulance runs, had reached trauma capacity. not uncommon decision when a big event occurs. such as multivehicle pileup, mass shooting or multiple shootings as Chicago experienced over the weekend or other large scale injury event. overflow or other victims went to one of 4 other hospitals for trauma treatment.

    you would have seen the same in Dayton with the number of injured. Same for El Paso. That didnt exactly make the news for trauma center diversion decisions either.

    the fact that chicago has strict gun laws is irrelevant considering within an hour or so drive from there you can be in 3 different states with varying degrees of laxity in gun laws.
    Hmm, so it’s okay for ambulances to stop making runs to a hospital? I mean car pile up or gunshot victims.  This case happens to be because of gunshot victims.  Not a mass shooting.  So that should be common.  No need to raise an alarm.  Check.

    El Paso and and Dayton are an easy drive in from foreign countries.  So if every district around had equally strict lawns the problem would go away?  I can’t help but feel like you are rationalizing the irrational.  That’s my opinion granted

    I would be more interested in your solutions.
    just how many trauma patients do you think a given hospital can or should handle at one time?
    I don’t have the answer.  But if it’s just taking in gunshot victims not connected with a mass shooting.  Just being another random Monday.  Don’t you think that is a cause of concern?  I don’t even understand how you could be a gun advocate after a mass shooting and even question why say to day life in a city like Chicago is”meh, well how many should they take?”  That logic falls on me.  It really does.  Try and justify this while making and arguing excuses for that.  You and myself are better than that.
    who says I am a gun advocate? because I accept reality here as it is means I'm an advocate? acceptance doesnt equate to approval or agreement.

    you understand by diverting trauma victims from whatever type of injury(trauma meaning severe or life threatening) to other trauma centers offers the besy chance of survival dont you?

    where are you from anyway?
    That was a type o.  It’s obvious you are an anti gun advocate.  Typing from my phone in the airport on a layover

    so again, you are okay with Chicago hospitals having to divert trauma victims do to being overwhelmed by gunshot victims.  You see no issue with that but a mass shooting, now this is the hill you plant your flag on and are willing to die for?  I call hypocrisy.  With you lack of caring why and justifying why a Chicago hospital hat to divert patients because they were overwhelmed by gun violence victims and you continually argue why it’s okay.  Well that shows your real hand.  You strike me as an outrage monger.  Reality doesn’t matter, but headlines hit hard for you.  With that, I’m out of this conversation.  I prefer to talk with people that are fully concerned about the violence and can debate solutions with.  Not people that make excuses.  I wish you the best.

    Weird, I expected Swedish Women to have the highest rate.
    You really need to step up whatever you are doing a notch.
    No, the subtlety is just perfect.  
    At least they have the right to maternal leave. And the right to abortions. And don't have to marry at 12. And are not like in the US being held back by you and your 'murican brothers.
    None of these are problems which should worry you in any country.  
    Exactly my point.
    But the exits from France to England, to New Zealand to the United States.  Are those are only the shootings that get headline attention.  Let’s not pretend the world has it all figured out and the US just hadn’t caught up.  Also take into account the population size and the diversity.  The US is it’s own case study.  There has never been a country this big and this diverse before with the amount of freedom offered.  We are the test.



    Are we really not the test?  There’s a reason France has been France and England has been England for so long, and Spain has been Spain for so long.  Maybe there’s a reason they never decided hey let’s just be Frenglanish?
    You are a test in how one can make a population accept any BS served to them as long as you make them believe they are "the test"

    Sadly. I don’t have a Twitter or even know what you are referring to.  But I’m sure that was a good burn, you got me comment.  Dang you got me so good with your lack of facts and insistent urge to put me down.  You got me there buddy.

    are you drunk?

    you start your tirade around a hospital saying we reached our limit to effectively treat these injured patients. standard operating procedure to divert.

    you later recognize I am not a gun advocate but in the next breath claim I am ok with this weekends events in chicago.

    you asking us why the media wasnt as vocal on chicago , well you're asking the wrong people.

    for my own sanity I have to be emotionally detached from these tragedies. they happen far too often

    You don't think there were guns around in the 1800s in other, sane, countries?

    You are attempting to prove your point of why the US isn’t a social test.  You posted a Bernie quote.  I hope you understand why that really doesn’t influence or make me even think about why I might be wrong.  You’ve got to come out a little more specific and make a case for what you think and what point you are proving.  You told me I just proved your point earlier.  Above was your response why.  Not really making a case my friend.

    Try to keep up with how an internet forum works. Everything isn't about you. The quote was in relation to the video I posted on Bernie speaking of mass shooting. And the list of countries where "The god given test" really sets itself apart was also in connection to that.

    There can be more discussion in a thread than yours.

    To respond to your edit, no.  obviously not.  America had controlled the market on guns since 1776.  I’m also not sure who you quoted with your HAHA and ended quoting with your HAHA, but I assume you aren’t just debating me right now.  There are things to you.

    And my point was proven by you parroting BIG. DIVERSE. CANT BE COMPARED. UNIQUE EXPERIMENT.

    All that needs to be said.

    I don't care about influencing you. I'm confident you are:

    You are attempting to prove your point of why the US isn’t a social test.  You posted a Bernie quote.  I hope you understand why that really doesn’t influence or make me even think about why I might be wrong.  You’ve got to come out a little more specific and make a case for what you think and what point you are proving.  You told me I just proved your point earlier.  Above was your response why.  Not really making a case my friend.
    Try to keep up with how an internet forum works. Everything isn't about you. The quote was in relation to the video I posted on Bernie speaking of mass shooting. And the list of countries where "The god given test" really sets itself apart was also in connection to that.

    There can be more discussion in a thread than yours.
    Well I do try to keep up, especially if I’m debating with someone.  I would like to think the conversation does involve me.  But obviously I’m wrong in that aspect.  I wish you will my friend.  Keep fighting your good fight.

    Is that a Warren or Sanders sticker I see on the back of your SUV?

    I doubt it, I don’t own an suv.  But I do have a sweet bmw sedan and a gas eatin machine of a ford truck?   But for being a good sport, inbox me.  I’ve got some pj posters to get ride of.  Seriously, I enjoyed your passion.  For reals.  I’ll hook you up.

    There is no such thing as a right wing talking point.  Congrats, you’ve picked up on the buzzword from the last Dem debate when they didn’t want to answer a question.  It’s easy not to answer and brush off. You are aware of the false reporting of hate crimes I assume?  Now if we are to directly have a debate about mass shootings and hate crimes, let’s examine them.  There were two these past few days.  One of a far rightest, and one of a far leftist.  Can we agree on that and move forward?
    Ofc, I am aware of the false reporting because white supremacy is a hoax.

    Nope, but I do have a spare copy of live on 10 legs and some killer posters from shows I’ve been too, including an extra Thomas Train.  But if you want to be facetious, not of my concern.  And also, Kiss sucked and will always suck.  Best wishes my friend, hope you get whatever point you wanted to make and that Kiss III album.

    Yup, your politics are as wonky as you live album ratings.  Keep up with your CNN and Bernie Posts, and your love for Kiss Live III.  You are your own animal, live it, love it, never apologize for it.

    So does anyone have a real solution?  Two mass shootings.  One from a far right extremist, one from a far left extremist.  I’m sorry, but you can’t just point fingers and blame one side or the other.  Any actual solutions instead of the blame game and yelling trumpers or antifa’ers?  
    Do all of us a favor and start on page one of this thread and catch up.

    This is why you can’t have a conversation around here.

    What solutions would you offer for ending gun violence in Chicago or anywhere? How would you address hospital diversions? A woman working in a hospital in Chicago or Illinois had a heart attack or asthma attack and was diverted from her hospital to the one next door. She died. Where’s your outrage?

    Nothing can be done.

    Hmm, last I checked I asked for solutions because obviously I don’t have them.  If your response is to attack me for my stance on asking, good for you.  Oh look, still no solution. Thanks for attacking me with no real input except for you taking a big ol moral chair to explain why you have no real input, but rationalizing why you don’t have any real input.  You really furthered the conversation buddy.
