Must be a Christian conservative as they won’t release details about the shooter yet (sarcasm).
Especially since the murderer also killed himself.
The “Wild West” wasn’t as ‘wild’ as today’s society.
Why?
Because EVERYONE WAS ARMED.....................
“An armed society is a polite society. Manners are good when one may have to back up his acts with his life.” - Robert Heinlein.............
“Never let a crisis go to waste” as said by Rahm Emanuel, was first said in a different way by Saul Alinsky. He wrote in his Rules for Radicals, “in the arena of action a threat or a crisis becomes almost a precondition to communication”
Why can’t all these mass shooters who ultimately commit suicide just do that at the start?
America has become far too tolerant of the mentally ill, the perverted and all the derivative ilk.
Pretty soon they’ll start labeling conservative Christians as mentally ill. Oh wait…
This guy was yucking it ip with his coworkers, moments before he went off the rails.
This simply isn’t possible. I think Walmart has a no gun on the premises policy
this will be the shooting the shift to from Colorado, since the Colorado shooting doesn’t fit the agenda.
The guns have always been around. So what has changed? Could it be an upside down society that eschews honor and morality, and thinks men can have babies?
The west was also not as wild as today because despite hit TV shows, literacy was much higher, Christianity was a powerful force, courts dispensed justice, and there was no welfare. You worked or starved. They were hard working people. And most of the west didn’t walk around armed all the time. Miners didn’t, farmers by far most common gun was a shotgun, Laura engals wilders dad didn’t walk around strapped either. Tombstone was a thing in the news because it was not a common thing. High noon street duals in reality were literally almost unknown.
Btw we actually are far more violent than they were. Forget murder rates. Today we have EMS, emergency rooms, helicopters, radios, modern medicine, surgical techniques and antibiotics, etc. many people today live that would have died back in the 1880s. Compare rates of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and you see America today is FAR more violent.
Basically, back then we were a decent and moral country.
Yes, without a doubt.
2 recent mass shooters. Different races, locations etc.‘ So what’s in common, they both have guns?
Well I would suggest a little more —-they both are hate filled assholes with guns.
It is strange that our country is the only one that goes to this. Yes I know other countries have an occasional one, but we have them daily sometimes more than one daily. I do believe something needs to be done. obviously taking away guns isn’t gonna do it, but something has to stop this.
Good theory if mass murders began two years ago. Lol.
Both were members of groups that have had the flames of grievance fanned into red hot coals. The one in Colorado was a Homo, the one at the Walmart was a black guy, and I would give you even money that he was a Homo also. If it wasn’t for grievance minority groups, and violet subcultures like Mexican, America would have the crime rate of Switzerland
Maybe in Gang world. But most mass shootings are young white men who went astray.
