    No shit. And I find it odd that he's going on at the front door about an active shooter and the old guy is all calmly "Oh, he's in there" like this shit happens all the time. Who the hell just loiters around the front door when there's someone inside shooting people?

    And yet a huge number people still believe the election was stolen because of people like her. I hope she loses everything she has.

    That what she deserves, at least, along with her entire crew. For a lawyer she is absolutely fucking retarded at coming up with excuses. These people deserved Scorched Earth treatment.

    I don't know what type of gun that he used but my buddy had an AR style gun with one of those square sights with the red dot in it. It made a completely average shooter (me) into a person who could hit a medium sized box about 40 yards away in pretty rapid succession.

    put a properly sighted red dot sight on rifle, any caliber and any style, and you’re going to be pretty damn effective at close range targets that don’t fight back.

    the people saying that a ban on AR-style would have stopped this aren’t familiar enough with firearms to realize that the same results could have been duplicated with a lever action, a 10/22, mini-14 ranch rifle, shotgun, bolt action (most of them accept magazines now for quick changes), any semi auto pistol or revolver with moon clips or speed loaders, or any other number of firearm platforms given the proper familiarity with the firearm and and close range sights.

    I’m honestly surprised more damage hasn’t been done in these types of mass shootings or otherwise (like with cars). The evil fucks have the element of surprise on soft targets. Even a rudimentary level of familiarity with the platform — be it a rifle, handgun, uhaul, anything — would seriously up the danger level. Fortunately for us, these psychopathic cunts are stupid as well and have about as much understanding as a toddler playing an Xbox game.

    When a fired co-worker gets angry and shoots up the place (aka, the original "going postal"), then there is a tipping point, the red mist, the rage-induced response. I understand how crimes of passion happen. But, what is happening in these type of shootings, or Sandy Hook or the like? Where has it gone wrong? Is there something in their brain that's always been fucked? Or did it go wrong somewhere along the way? I am not a drug addict or alcoholic, but I can see how people move slowly into addiction. I get it. But, I simply do not understand such a disregard for human life. Family, friends, and enjoying simple pleasures of life is SO very precious, I just don't understand how someone can so callously take that away without a second thought.

    The Columbine style record setting spree killers are just straight broken mentally. James Holmes, gabby giffords shooter, Adam Lanza, all should have been institutionalized way before they picked up a gun. The real fucked up ones are the true terrorist attacks including last week’s spa shooter. At some level there may be some antisocial disorder and aren’t totally free of mental illness but it seems they have more of the ability to choose between right and wrong and consciously choose wrong.

    So, did Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa have a "bad day" also or no? With a name like that it won't matter if he's a natural born Son of Uncle Sam, that old American prejudice is gonna fire right up.

    Hey now, let’s not jump to conclusions. No motive has been ascertained. Nothing is known for sure, except that I’m a racist.

    name vs skin tone is gonna confuse a lot of people. I bet the media just ignores it now that there’s not a clear slant on this

    Perhaps, but for Christ's sake I am tired of seeing these catastrophic events and everyone stumbling over each other holding up their fucking cell phones. It speaks to a sort of.... I don't know, a disconnect of sorts, that in a time of crisis, their focus is on getting their moment on Tik Tok or whatever.

    I’m sure now that we know that his name isn’t a white guy name, we can expect Fox News to actually carry the story.

    Dude has been in the US most of his life and I'm already seeing people blaming Biden's reversal of Trump's Muslim ban for the shooting. We are a deeply stupid people.

    Not to worry, the events of the past week will allow both the right and left to exult in righteous indignation about the mass shooting of their choice.
