The El Paso / Dayton Shootings Thread

No we feel the shooter is responsible.

Sure. Panem et circenses - it's just the morbid entertainment of an otherwise quiet Saturday summer night. The rolling-news networks love them.

Jacinda Ardern in New Zealand showed the way by refusing to name the perpetrator of the recent killings there, which was mostly followed by news networks. It's not a case of censorship, just one of restraint. I don't see the American networks following suit any time soon.

This. And Trump, of course.

Pretty sure Russia is behind these as well. And perhaps Assad and Maduro. And Tulsi Gabbard and Julian Assange.

Not «mass shootings», these are organized rightwing terrorism.

It’s estimated the 1/3rd of all the revenue generated from CNN last year was from ads and viewership related to mass shootings. We live in a sick world.

Let's call it what it is please. How can we defeat the problem if we can't even name it?

It is radical, right wing, white christian terrorism.

Nothing is going to be done to stop the madness, no point on reporting on it when it happens.

It's just nutjobs with easy access to guns

Hmmm, the Bible is available in English for you to peruse.

So why are you allowing your nazis to have guns?

Oh. Stupid question.

Not been a nation long enough, so everyone are allowed to carry lethal weapons.

And It’s estimated the 100% of all the revenue generated from CNN last year was from ads and viewership related to mass shootings.

That's kinda changing lately. They seem to purposefully NOT be publicizing the names of these shooters. I wish none of the shooters would be taken alive. I don't need to have them alive so we can ask them their motives - just put them down right there on the spot and let them die anonymously.

People need to realize that Julian assuage is a friend of the American people. He has shown us so much corruption in our government with real evidence taken from officials. The reason the U.S. wanted him is because they want to silence him and continue their control. We need him free again

Both media and gun laws. US simply love to make people celebrities. Everything is big: burgere, homes, cars etc.

Also the gun laws makes it easy for crazy people to get firearms. Common sense

Wrong. Try again.

I find it hard to believe that any of these are primarily politically motivated. We had the Vegas gunman - no manifesto and never any clear motive. The kid in California who was angry he was a virgin. They say the El Paso shooter was a very isolated person who didn't interact with people at all. When I was a kid and young adult (I'm 55), there was no internet and no cell phones. You had to talk to people, in person or on the phone. I'm wondering if the digitation (?) if that's a word, of our society has bred a generation of disaffected, frustrated young men who can't communicate with others other than via message boards. When that happens, people become 1 dimensional abstractions who either agree with you or they don't. They become so numb to the outside world that the thought of killing other people is not only plausible, it becomes a way out. I live in Colorado, where we had Columbine and the Aurora theatre shooter. I think the time has finally come when

restrictions or simply banning assault rifles and other high capacity weapons is necessary.

I've always been a gun rights advocate. But the guns I own have 6 round magazines. We may have this problem for years to come. It happens no matter who's in office. But if we can't stop these killers, then at least we can start to minimize the damage.
