The 'Americans Getting Shot' Thread

[Backspin]

Let me know when you say something funny.

Going down the American standard was kinda funny tbh.

[harrybarracuda]

The problem is that everyone in this world, even Americans, can become a little irrational at some time in their lives. It's best they don't have access to guns when this happens.

The most significant concept that seems beyond their ability to grasp.

I mean it was the seppos who invented the phrase "going postal" - how long ago now?

[Headworx]

How many politicians in the two major parties are being....sponsored by the weapons industry ?

It really doesn't matter because sponsored or not, they're powerless to do anything meaningful about weapons ownership which is protected by the 2nd Amendment and is quite simply a part of American culture. There are no circumstances under which the public will ever be disarmed. War-zone standard deaths and casualty numbers, including kids shot at school, are something they accept as being part of their right to own weapons. Well not everyone of course, but enough that any sort of a disarming procedure or buy-back like Australia did is completely impossible.

In the moment clearly race wasn't the main thing on his mind.

A lot of the blame falls at the feet of this piece of shit.

[pickel]

Social media misinformation has as much responsibility for this as gun culture does.

Without a doubt. And when you have major news outlets, and in Tucker Carlson’s case, the number one show on cable news, promoting this bullshit, it’s throwing gasoline on a fire.

Not strictly true.

Lots of gun control measures do not require a constitutional change, just sensible lawmaking.

However, Republicans are not known for sensible lawmaking.

Socal:

An American wears a Nazi emblem. Not all Americans are Nazi's.

A Ukrainian wears a Nazi emblem. All Ukrainians are Nazi's.

It is most likely just a Photoshop phony anyway. Never trust anything skiddy posts. I automatically just assume it is bullshit because it almost always is.

Either way it ain't gonna happen. I couldn't give a shit what laws are spoken about or even passed, there's absolutely and positively no way your average American with an assault rifle, hand cannon, and 5000++ rounds of ammunition will ever be handing them over because of some new law while he's still got a pulse. I don't think you've spent much time in America to think otherwise, especially Texas!

Absolutely right. They can try to skip around the 2nd ammendment but there will always be an out and they will never hand them over. At this point there are too many guns to take back anyway.

I do fully support tighter screening and longer wait times and stricter sentences on people who sell without following the legal process.

Sounds like a step forward

So I guess they will have to live with it

Authorities: Hate against Taiwanese led to church attack

LAGUNA WOODS, Calif. (AP) — A gunman in a deadly attack at a Southern California church was a Chinese immigrant motivated by hate for Taiwanese people, authorities said.


The shooter killed Dr. John Cheng, 52, and wounded five others during a lunch held by Irvine Taiwanese Presbyterian Church, which worships at Geneva Presbyterian Church in Laguna Woods, authorities said at a Monday news conference.


Orange County Sheriff Don Barnes said the motive of the shooting was a grievance between the shooter, identified as a Chinese immigrant and U.S. citizen, and the Taiwanese community. China claims Taiwan is a part of its national territory and has not ruled out force to bring the island under its rule.


The suspect was identified as David Chou, 68, of Las Vegas. He has been booked on one count of murder and five counts of attempted murder and is being held on $1 million bail.


Chou is expected to appear in state court Tuesday and it was not immediately clear whether he had an attorney who could speak on his behalf. A federal hate crimes investigation is also ongoing.

Chou’s family was among many that were apparently forcibly removed from China to Taiwan sometime after 1948, Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer said. Chou’s hatred toward the island, documented in hand-written notes that authorities found, seems like it began when he felt he wasn’t treated well while living there.


Barnes, the sheriff, said Chou drove from Las Vegas to the Orange County church, where he was not a regular attendee, secured the doors with chains, super glue and nails and started shooting. The gunman had placed four Molotov cocktail-like devices inside the church.

Yep. There are many actions that can be taken but nobody in power does therefore nothing will change. So the shooter gets his 10 minutes of fame after that same scenario plays out. Then it's forgotten until the next clown takes up a gun, straps on a camera and loads up an AR and streams it live on Twitter or FB.

It's all sadly predictable.

[DrWilly]

Like everything else, you seem to have your finger on the pulse of the story. Explain why he drove hours to a black neighborhood, to carry out the attack.

Backbit being edgy.

[panama hat]

Backbit being edgy.

The shooter made a first person video of it. I seen some of it.

But apparently he has the manifesto and everything. So he's raysist but he went and shot white ppl too

The suspect had ni**er written on the barrel of his gun, he posted the video on 4 chan.

Theres a distinct lack of blood in the video. It all seems a bit strange.

Backspit is a disgusting incel . . . being an apologist for the racist piece of shit and wanking off to the murdering arsehole's video.

Yes, clearly I'm the one without class . . . lucky Backspit.

Just can't stand ghoulish attitudes.

This is his established pattern. He has a history of always backing the racist and attempting to deny that it was a racist attack.

Let's not pull any punches here. Skiddy is clearly a white nationalist, he just does not have the stones to outright admit it on this forum. Typical of those racist coward keyboard warriors. He checks every box.

At this point there are too many guns to take back anyway.

Nah! That's just a defeatist attitude.

The NRA needs to be shamed into oblivion...

[pickel]

Nah! That's just a defeatist attitude.

Do you have an idea for how to do it? Because knocking on people's doors and asking for them is obviously not gonna work.
