arrest made in the case of the 9 year old boy gunned down by gangs in Chicago, apparently because the boy was a family member of a rival gang. shot in the face and back while he was on the way to the park to play basketball. he was lured into an alley where he was murdered.

Brutal.

Not as brutal as the link in your link detailing the abduction, rape and murder of a 7 year old from a Kentucky community football game (where a candidate for the DP is sitting behind bars pleading his innocence)... but really brutal.

* Sometimes the web is awful when it tempts you to spiral downwards sifting through shitty story after shitty story hating mankind as you do.
I've found myself doing just that on cnn.com. my inner morbid curiosity makes me do it. damn disgusting click bait.

Exploiting a base human need to see shit like that.

Something about "bloodsport" appeals to our inner caveman. Indicates we arent as evolved as we like to think. Generally speaking of course.

I often wonder why UFC appeals to me. Sometimes I feel guilty for watching it. I am about as anti-violence as you get. But I love UFC. it's a complete contradiction in values vs interest for me. it's odd.

The Internet and commercial media is the modern day version of the Roman Coliseum. People still like watching others get eaten by fucking lions.

There are many times I see a woman walk towards me and instinctively I find myself checking her out to some capacity.

It's not a conscious thing... and maybe there's something wrong with me... but I can't help but feel it's just me being a caveman.

Yep. Ingrained intuitive reaction. To my knowledge and experience it cant be helped. Whats important though is the conduct after the initial thought.

There is no helping it, yoga pants are an immutable force, like gravity lol

Okay, dammit.

I needed to test the field before committing to being a drooling fool fixated on lululemons.

I'm wondering if we should have a separate thread for American gun terrorism.

You guys don't need to start anymore threads about terrorism.
There is enough already.
Keep that shit in the east.

The citizens of your country might not engage in "that shit"

But unfortunately citizens in ours do.

He is canadian. I am american.

It was posited by rgambs Colorado Springs was a terrorist act. I am inclined to agree. Recent church firebombings. Other shootings.

CH156378 · November 2015

It really breaks my heart to see the news coming out of Colorado of the shooting at a planned parenthood. So sad. I read a tweet from a celebrity who said something like"'every time something like this happens, we make another donation to planned parenthood". I might have to do that myself.

Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains released a statement as the scene unfolded, saying what while “we don't yet know the full circumstances and motives behind this criminal action … [w]e share the concerns of many Americans that extremists are creating a poisonous environment that feeds domestic terrorism in this country."

Motive? Let's see.

Yeah. It's for sure something that Americans are justified in focusing some attention on. There are terrorist attacks on what i would call a semi-regular basis in the US..... Just a matter of time for Canadians too, I figure, unless we get really lucky with prevention. We have actually had a few incidents recently. The federal Parliament building attack last year was a big deal, although the attacker was mentally ill and worked alone if i remember correctly, so not sure that really counts. The cop killings in Ontario and and Quebec certainly qualify and ISIS at least claimed credit for those. The biggest was probably the one that never happened 2 years ago. There was a plot to bomb the BC legislature on Canada Day during public festivities. Their plot was foiled. There was another foiled plot to blow up a via rail train - that was a Canada/US co-op plot. Canada needs to be vigilant too. But Canadians aren't scared. Wary, but not scared.
