Just another day in America, m'right? :/

Nope, you would be wrong.

And so it is.

[Torrocca]

Sad news, once again.

When are we going to do something about the mass shooting problem?

Were not sadly.

Well, not with any defeatist attitude and certainly not with our current government, at any rate. If we could nip in the bud the bullshit that's driving people into the dredges of far-right ideologies and the bullshit that turns normal people to crime, such as poverty, then we could.

Nope, you would be wrong.

Sadly, that's how the politicians will treat it as until they finally decide to do something.

One of the most common rifles on the market that is also relatively inexpensive were used by two separate people? Cant be a coincidence!

You mean terrorist attacks that happened in mere days of each other and where the attackers had a shared ideology? Can't ever be related!

I mean the shared ideology is a far bigger indicator of relation than just two people using a pretty common weapon, which is what I interpreted as your first post. But I could have been mistaken.

We could, but we won't. California's absolutely laughable amounts of poverty despite it's economy while it's leadership vacations in foreign countries just to troll Trump instead of addressing actual issues is a pretty fine example of why shit's not going anywhere anytime soon.

Still doesn't make it "just another day in America".

Completely off topic, but I almost expected you to have one of those “Und Doch” flags but Ahmadiyya.

Lower than Texas. Where this happened.

Unironically that's just another reason among many why we need some form of non-authoritarian Socialism in America. The sheer amount of shit that could be solved by having the economy's means of production and resources shared in common rather than held in the hands of a few - such as the systemic problems currently plaguing society that drive a good deal of people toward hateful ideologies that eventually compel a number of them to eventually commit shit like mass-murder - is tremendous.

Yeah, how dare we attempt to fix our problems. ‘Cause clearly, neoliberalism isn’t doing jack shit.

How is a hateful ideology a cure to hateful ideologies?

Well, that attitude's certainly not how you're gonna cure the systemic problems that drive people to shit like what just happened in El Paso.

Compelling argument...

Indeed.

Fuck Socialism in America.

You are implying that I was trying to make one in the first place, and not just plainly saying fuck no to an absolutely laughable ideology that won't fix shit.

[Telconi]

I'm pretty sure anger is a common emotion which drives change.

Multiple people were killed Saturday in a shooting in El Paso, Texas, the chief of staff to the city's mayor said.
Suspects are in custody, Olivia Zepeda said. It wasn't immediately clear how many people were in custody or how many had been killed or hurt.


not much in the media pipe lines but multiple agencies reported that around 18 people injured from the shooting and multiple businesses near the area as well as a school near by were placed on lock down.


Update: Multiple people are dead and three people are in custody after a shooting Saturday morning at an El Paso, Texas Walmart, according to authorities.
"We're searching multiple scenes, but primarily the Walmart," said Sgt. Enrique Carrillo of the El Paso Police Department, pointing to a nearby mall as another area of focus. "There is not an imminent threat. There is no active shooter currently."
Mayor Dee Margo told CNN three people are in custody, but he did not give a number of victims.
"This is a tragedy we would have never ever thought would happen in El Paso," he said.
The police department tweeted to stay away from the Cielo Vista Mall area. The police also said people should avoid the area from Airway Boulevard to Hawkins Boulevard to north of Interstate 10, near the Walmart.
Multiple videos on social media posted by shoppers have shown people fleeing the nearby mall.

I think they should be put to death. If we that for all people that invovles a White nationalist / Black nationalists / Latino nationalist / Asian nationalist/ Middle East nationalist. Kill them as a note that we despise what they do and we will not feed them for a long time.

Indeed.

The first step has to be to lower housing costs.

[Katganistan]

Aren't red states like Texas supposed to be all about Good Guys With Guns and the blue states are the places mass shooters have a field day?

About that…

Quelle surprise.

[Torrocca]

Well, that attitude's certainly not how you're gonna cure the systemic problems that drive people to shit like what just happened in El Paso.

I'm pretty sure anger is a common emotion which drives change.

Sure, if you're angry at the right thing. Not so much so if you outright identify one of the systemic issues that outright causes shit like the mass-shooting at El Paso to happen but then get furious when somebody brings up the obvious solution to that.

He was tho.

Oh cut it out Gauth. You can go grandstand somewhere else, let the bodies cool will ya though?

I will never understand this logic.

It's easy enough. If it was a terrorist attack, right wingers would demand changes to prevent more of them, which is understandable, and crackdowns on Muslims, which is also understandable given their Islamaphobia. After shootings, they demand some unique type of timeout before anyone talks about this sort of thing because they don't want to do anything about it. They don't really care about the victims, they just want to avoid losing their precious 17 guns.

You do realise things can be terrorism without Muslims being involved, right?
