I think it's because on whack-job goes off the deep end at which point the others see how much attention and publicity he gets and decides to upstage him. If it wasn't for the notoriety, they'd just off themselves and leave everybody else alone.

This is where media should refrain from covering those events. It appears to encourage copycats.

It looks like we joined FR at about the same time (I moved, changed email, computer died, had to retread). I miss the old days. Lately it seems FR has turned into Conspiracy Central. Everything is a a false flag, some nefarious plot by the deep state cabal, MKultra, etc. Maybe it’s the King Cobra venom in the water supply (which is the real cause of Covid, not some virus doncha know) or Bill Gates has finally activated the nano-bots in the “clot shots” via 5G (read all about in The Daily Expose or Steve Kirsch’s blog). It’s got beyond ridiculous. Oh, and anyone who disagrees is a “pedo” or a “troll” or “paid shill”.

For all we know the shooter was some mentally unstable guy with a personal grudge against someone there. Could be anything from his wife leaving him to he thought someone cheated him or he took offense to something someone said. There are crazy people in the world, people with short fuses. They tend to set each other off and we get copycat mass shootings.

WTF is going on in this country?

Now the earth was corrupt in God’s sight and was full of violence. God saw how corrupt the earth had become, for all the people on earth had corrupted their ways. So God said to Noah, “I am going to put an end to all people, for the earth is filled with violence because of them. I am surely going to destroy both them and the earth. As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. Gen. 6:11-13 (NIV)

As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. Matt. 24:37 (NIV) Today's events hardly surprising, and it'll prolly get worse.

Wow… Another one. The Democrats are firing up all of their lunatics to go commit shootings so they can scream for gun control.

Like clockwork… And so transparent.

Unfortunately I think you are correct. I feel we are in a car headed down hill with no brakes. Ethical and moral behavior is submerged to a notion that responsibility for one’s action is of little importance.

Bingo. Crazy is crazy. Important to resist politicizing this crap because it will crop up all over the spectrum, with insanity being the common thread.

Ah, but what about their First Amendment rights? I mean, every time one of these incidents occurs, they go screaming to deprive us of our Second Amendment rights. If it turns out that they're the problem, shouldn't they be shilling to be silenced?

They have their rights. We know that mainstream media is going to stir things up because they have an agenda.

‘”Before the service started, members had greeted the gunman — who they had never seen before — and welcomed him. He told them he had attended services several times, but the members were doubtful because no one recognized him, Chen said.’

“Chen said he then saw the pastor, Billy Chang, hit the gunman with a chair when the shooter paused to reload his weapon. Other members of the congregation tackled him. Authorities said they hogtied him with an extension cord, a move officials believe likely saved many more lives. A law enforcement source told The Times the gunman, who has not been identified, had blocked the exits to the hall to prevent people from getting out.”

Good people.

The media and government are to blame for the mass paranoia - especially when the gubmint media admits that Buffalo shooter was known to authorities for threats to shoot up a school. It is no surprise that he later shoots up something, so what was the point of letting him explode? It serves someone’s agenda...

We moved here 20 years ago in June. Our local mall was THE happening place in the area. Everybody went there.

It is one of the few malls surviving, but lots of closed stores. The last time we went there was about a year ago while we were getting our car serviced. The dealer has several dealerships by the mall and runs a shuttle van on the half hour.

The only really busy place in the mall was a casino that occupies one of the spaces of a former anchor tenant.

As Chris Rock said, there are two kinds of malls:

-The malls the white people go to.
-The malls the white people used to go to.

Early stages of collapse. Desperate people doing desperate things. People with mental health conditions will be the first ones to ‘snap.’ They will be looking for any reason or any situation in which they have a perceived enemy/threat.

People who can buy food, people who worship the Living God, law enforcement...anyone they perceive to be over them on the socio-economic scale is a potential target.

Situational awareness right now is key. I am grateful Ohio will soon not require a permit to CCW. As far as ‘gun free zones,’ ideally no one will know you have it, unless you need to use it. You might have some legal troubles in the after-action, but you would be alive and have saved lives.

All of this is going to get much, much worse this summer. I have been saying June the unraveling begins. And it seems to be I was right. Just wait until after Memorial Day when the diesel rationing begins on the East Coast. SHTF has already started and will arrive in waves of descent, it is not going to happen overnight.
