Or as likely, feel as charmed by the prospect as by the prospect of dancing in the sewer. No earnest advice to stop it would be needed.
Another thread just mentioned a shooter @a Birmingham hospital. Shot three people, he was killed by an armed security guard.
That’s the one, thanks again
Not a good idea to copycat Connecticut in red state, red neck, Alabama. Where they at least dare to have guards with guns, if not more.
Jeanne Assam is probably the best & most recent example, although your average person would not be as well trained as she was.
There was this time I attached ACME rockets to roller skates........
I’m afraid I’ve forgotten the title, but there was also a book with statistical analysis on where there is more gun violence—in gun free cities and states, or in states which allow citizens to carry. The statistics are pretty clear.
An American citizen can carry a fully automatic weapon... And kill bad guys that are out to maim,torture, and kill other citizens..... But that's only if they are in a different country and under orders by an American president. Yet in our own country, The American citizens are not aloud to fully protect ourselves and our loved ones from the bad guys, with semi-automatic weapons or rifle that our founders and the Constitution guaranteed us.Crazy isn't it.
Albeit the 32 homicides in Chicago this year are not ‘mass shootings’ however, leave people just as dead. Titillating Sit coms or music video with sexy themes with half clad people or showing leather jacked foul mouth tough women and men killing “the enemy” as role models or car ads showing reckless driving etc. etc. are all complicit in this amoral culture we live in where life is dirt cheap and people made even cheaper....some how this must affect the minds of those on the edge. Cleaning up that exposure might help some....
EXCELLENT!
I know a lot of people here do not like Rudy; however, when he took over as Mayor of NYC he cleaned up what was once a cr@p filled toilet bowl with no running water.
Everyone hated him, especially the unions. He cleaned up the streets, locked up the crazies, removed the homeless from the streets, made NYC a clean safe place.
Now NYC is becoming what it once was, prior to Rudy.
Actually, I’ve seen a lot of violent game addiction, up close and personal.
Almost always hitting far-left, liberal adults and youngsters. To get “turn” at the game could lead to fistfight, sometimes. Very weird.
Chicago sees that many killings in a hot weekend... whaddya mean this year?
A good point in this article is that most times these mass shootings take place in a gun free zone. The shooter knows he is not going to be thwarted.
How many mass shootings have we ever had in a Pro Bass or a Cabela’s store? Safest place in the world to be. Half the customers are CC.
Politically correct euphemisms are offered up to confuse facts.
good baddog
Another consideration is that if a civilian stops a shooter early, it’s difficult to know whether or not a mass shooting was averted. And since it’s a non-event, the media won’t cover it.
Not even the vague “the killer was angry.”
