Don't get to worked up... the clock is ticking before your next one.
Canada has all the same shit as the USA that is typically and erroneously attributed to the causal factors for these depressing incidents (video games, drugs, lonesome losers, etc.).
The only 'real' difference between the two countries is the fact that one country is riddled with an obscene amount of guns with ineffective... no... non-existent gun legislation while the other doesn't.
It's a f**king joke to deny the obvious and you lie in the bed you make: so go bury your kids, neighbours.
Once you're done digging... go shoot some shit at the landfill. Yeehaw! I reckon ya figure if dem der boys hadda had der guns on 'em... there ain't nobody who'd be dead outside of dat der crazy feller?
Just absurd. I'm at our university this week getting recertified in 1st aid. I see all the kids on campus getting busy with their lives and what a fresh, exciting, vibrant place.
Has anyone stopped to think how these mass shootings may very well have changed fate and, for example, placed the cure for cancer in the ground?"My brain's a good brain!"0 -
Citizens court. Star twith the show trial and then summary execution of Wayne La Pierre. Start ticking them off the list. see how quick shit changes then.ldent42 said:
I understand that. And trust me, personally I'm on the side of stricter gun control. But large portions of the population of this country don't think that that is a good idea. Even our goddamned President has had it up to here with that bullshit but apparently he can't do anything about it either. Tell me, if the President can't get stricter gun control put into place, what the hell can the rest of us do?facepollution said:
It comes across as denial, because there has been no significant movement towards change at all. It's that old saying about doing what you always did and getting what you always got.ldent42 said:
speaking only as a person who lives in said country, it seems to me that no one is in denial about the situation. There's a huge schism between those who believe this problem needs to be addressed by restricting access to guns, and those who believe that restricting access to guns will not address this problem.facepollution said:I don't often comment on these pages, but this is the 45th school shooting in the US this year. I'm at a loss for words, I feel my compassion slowly diminishing...... how can a country as great and as advanced in so many ways be so completely in denial about such a horrendous problem?
There's probably a 3rd school of people who don't give a shit one way or another too._____________________________________SIGNATURE________________________________________________

More guns and social media. What could go wrong?!?!?mcgruff10 said:Supposedly the shooter posted online last night his plans for today. Yet nothing was done to arrest him?!
from cnn.com:
'I'm so insignificant'
According to the source close to the investigation, authorities are looking at social media posts between a person they believe may have been the shooter, and others.
The conversation happened Wednesday night on 4chan.
In it, the writer talks about planning to carry out a shooting. Others egg him on, giving him suggestions on how to do it, and the type of weapons to use.
The responses are mixed -- with some users characterizing the would-be gunman as a pathetic loser. Others called him a twisted hero.
In the posts, there is a reference to the UC Santa Barbara shooter, who wrote a manifesto and videoed himself before opening fire a year ago.
"This is the only time I'll ever be in the news. I'm so insignificant," reads an apparent post by the would-be Oregon gunman.10-18-2000 Houston, 04-06-2003 Houston, 6-25-2003 Toronto, 10-8-2004 Kissimmee, 9-4-2005 Calgary, 12-3-05 Sao Paulo, 7-2-2006 Denver, 7-22-06 Gorge, 7-23-2006 Gorge, 9-13-2006 Bern, 6-22-2008 DC, 6-24-2008 MSG, 6-25-2008 MSG0 -

If this was a "terrorist" 'Murica would be talking about which country to go bomb0
-
we spent a trillion bucks and changed/made new laws to deal with terrorists.
gun violence?
not a fucking peep.
even more galling is the majority of americans want congress to do something. but they won't. there is no money in stopping gun violence.
can't even have a discussion about it in our congress."You can tell the greatness of a man by what makes him angry." - Lincoln
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."0 -
Again & again & again there is nothing I can add to this topic except it will happen again & again , where are you safe these days ? The only place shit like this doesn't happen is at ball games everywhere else is open game !!!! My condolences to the family's affected today ...jesus greets me looks just like me ....0

This country is a fucking joke.
Donald fucking trump is apparently a serious presidential candidate and we have mass
Shootings by the day.
Fucking joke0 -
The shooter allegedly asked each victim their religion before they opened fire. If they said they were christian they were shot in the head.
wtf?!I'll ride the wave where it takes me......0 -

We often hear those in support of more relaxed gun control laws say....
"Guns don't kill people"....
They're right
Gun owners kill people0 -

Maybe you should explain why it's unfair and offensive because I fail to see how?"My brain's a good brain!"0 -

Cuz not everyone in this country is a Yosemite Sam cartoon?
Cuz I was born here, never touched a gun my life, and did not make this bed you're telling me I have to lie in?
Cuz I don't think people should have guns and I don't support this idea that we live in the wild west and need to shoot or be shot?
I dunno how you want to me to explain to you how that sentence is an unfair and offensive characterisation if you can't see that just by reading it.NYC 06/24/08-Auckland 11/27/09-Chch 11/29/09-Newark 05/18/10-Atlanta 09/22/12-Chicago 07/19/13-Brooklyn 10/18/13 & 10/19/13-Hartford 10/25/13-Baltimore 10/27/13-Auckland 1/17/14-GC 1/19/14-Melbourne 1/24/14-Sydney 1/26/14-Amsterdam 6/16/14 & 6/17/14-Milan 6/20/14-Berlin 6/26/14-Leeds 7/8/14-Milton Keynes 7/11/14-St. Louis 10/3/14-NYC 9/26/15
