Sad but true unfortunately.

 

Also sad is the fact that outrageous stuff like this happens all too often in good old USofA, so it's not really news in some respects. Too many fcked up people, and too many guns? 

 

I haven't read the story yet this morning but usual story I reckon:

Disillusioned kid

Gets parents gun (that is meant to be secured?)

Wants to make a name for themselves is currently often the 'reason' (as opposed to previously to settle some score)

Shoots the easy targets

 

In the US blame will get shifted about but never any responsibility put onto the parents for leaving the gun handy in the first place, and there will be strong defence that the type of gun used has a place in society.

 

I'll have to read the story later but I bet that is a fair summary?

Apparently he purchased the weapons legally himself .  Rifle , hand gun and shotgun . Had things written on the mag like " kill Donald Trump "

Worse than that in this case I think. Sounds like the guy hated everyone but was "obsessed with the idea of killing children" in particular. So just vile excuse for a human being. 

A guy who identified as a woman - surprised that wasn't the one bit of the story to trigger an outraged post on here.

And yet, deemed mentally sound to buy 3 guns.

 

Got to wonder how he got that way without someone taking an interest - mental health, family, law enforcement or whoever.

It probably all happened in his bedroom, so no one was any the wiser. Radicalised online no doubt, maybe a 4chan user or a raging incel or some such toxic garbage. Freedom of speech is great sometimes!

once you start accepting the feckin' alphabet people and "furries" as the same as everyone else with the same rights, it's hard to tell the terminal nutjobs from those just wanting a little attention. 

given the propensity worldwide to avoid questioning the sanity and eligibility of all the things normal people can use and be responsible with, you're on a downward spiral.

in our own country literally hundreds of people are on various lists, being monitored for website activity, often for years, but nothing is done until they blow kids up at a concert, or school, or some other atrocity, and then it's all,,, lessons will be learned, and suggestions, lobbying, etc,  and wasting time and taxpayers money on  how to place more controls on those  adhering to the laws in place without achieving anything to negate the original problems.

walk down the road minding your own business with the wrong kind of dog and it gets seized and destroyed, say a few "hurty words" on the internet and you could wind up incarcerated, fly the wrong flag from your roof and see how quick 5/0 turn up.

 and people wonder why there is so much negativity in the world.

Funny (sad?) how so much of this is political point scoring, a couple of innocent children shot in an American church doesn't seem to be outrageous enough to mention.

Im not so sure. Harold Shipman didnt identify as a furrie and he was probably the biggest serial killer in our times.

 

Just like these guys

And yeah, walkin down the road with the wrong type of dog and you should face the consequences for sure. Those people can fck right off.

 

Although I do agree with the bit about having people on a watch list and waiting and waiting until something happens which is all a little too late. But then again some people complain about big brother, big government watching over us, they cant have it both ways.
