Quoted: From the link..."According to OPD, the suspect shot at civilians on East Loop 338 and I-20 before they stole a U.S. Postal Service vehicle and continued the shooting spree." Just a typo? View Quote |

Anyone catch the question about a cop firing on a blue truck? Was LAPD doing a ride along when his happened?

After every one of these shootings people get on this General discussion section and don't admit to what's really happening they Pander and intellectually masturbate. We have a problem with white male Mass Shooters. Not to mention the opioid epidemic which is killing over 50,000 people a year. But I noticed people on here can talk about the ghetto this and ghetto that.?? Rather, Normandy is hung up on the race issue. He/she/it fails to see that much of the "ghetto this and ghetto that" commentary is blowback from the media demonization and blame/ shame of white conservatives. It is a reaction to the false and unreasonable accusations by media and Leftist politicians who use those accusations to further their quest for power and control. |

Wow, we disagree. Take that 4 or more stuff up with people who keep stats and make the definitions. THE MEDIA TENDS TO OVER DRAMATIZE THINGS. I am all about facts too. The media wants their own set of facts. You can either use their own facts against them or not. If you cannot see the reasons this was posted, or why I am not sure what to tell you. But it is way past time to choose up sides. I am against the tin foil BS just like you. But this goes by REAL definitions and stats. NO WE DO NOT HAVE A WHITE MALE MASS SHOOTER PROBLEM. You can believe or not. But FACTS ARE FACTS. Believe them or not. ETA: I would also add I am extremely disappointed in your take on this matter.

4 or more people. That's a pretty low threshold. Another reason it doesn't hold water is because most of them - as far as I can tell - had some kind of motive that "makes sense". Robbery. Domestic violence. Drug deal gone wrong. I'm not excusing the level of violence, but we're talking about mass shooters in terms of a guy with no relation to the victims just blowing his top and going out in a blaze of glory. The other people on that list don't fit the bill. Call it a societal problem to ignore the others, but we tend to over-dramatize things we don't understand, like a guy driving from Dallas to El Paso and shooting a bunch of people in Wal Mart. That is inherently more scary than a gang-related shooting where 4 people are killed. Take that 4 or more stuff up with people who keep stats and make the definitions.

Quoted: That is possibly the dumbest tweet ever. If the death toll goes up, and they aren't dying at the hospital, where were they. Did they leave them laying in a ditch on the side of the road and just found them after the sun came up? https://pics.me.me/that-dont-make-no-sense-makeameme-ord-31929737.png View Quote |

Shooter was probably some or all of the following: 1) Came from broken family 2) "Educated" in public schools 3) On some type of drug 4) Atheist ALL of these are products of liberalism. Yet they want to blame guns and gun owners. Screw them and screw their system. |

Cops must have had something on him before they tried to pull him over. I have yet to see a cop pull someone over for failing to use a turn signal --- I WISH THEY WOULD!!! But I think they were on him for some other reason and jumped on it when he failed to signal.

CNN is furious that white guy isn't named. Also mad that the AR wasn't brought up until questioned.

A goblin shooting into a park picnic, funeral gathering or house-que(which occurs hundreds of times per year) doesn't seem to offend him as much as a shooting in a Walmart parking lot. Just because the shooter might know another goblin in attendance? View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

What has he said that's wrong? Is there not an opioid epidemic? Are the mass shooters that end up on these rampages not typically 20-30 year old white makes? Just look at this thread: We've had people blaming one or any of the following: Antifa, atheists, public education, illegal immigrants, etc. It's a ref;exive blame-game in the desperate hope that the bad guy is one of "them" - them being someone from a group we don't like. Add in a few conspiracy nuts that are claiming the FBI, police, and everyone else is working overtime to cover it all up, and you get your typical Arfcom GD derp thread. View Quote When you watch the biased reporting (or not) of objectively similar incidents you tend to wrap the tin foil a little tight and begin to think there is a motivation behind every little inconsistency. factually speaking white male rampage shooting with assault weapons are rare, we all know the stats on people killed by any kind of rifle in this country(they are 4x less lethal than knives) ....yet they receive an enormous amount of publicity and drive not just discussion but legislation far more than the stacks of bodies racked up by minority on minority handgun violence. While I agree there have been some out there conspiracy theories in this thread, and they are out there, it's obvious that some gun crime drives the discussion in a preferred direction and some doesn't. I hate the derp too, but remember, just because you're paranoid...doesn't mean they aren't out to get you. |

They say he didn't signal at the required distance from the turn. The only place I've ever known to routinely do that is Driscoll TX, where they'll stop those Mexican convoys and ultimately impound their vehicles for a couple days because they don't have the insurance required. Hell, maybe the guy was swerving drunk or driving slowly because he was texting or talking. |

From Houston, along I-69/US Hwy 59 N ,out 80-100 miles specifically.
It"s simple really. Labor Day weekend, tons of traffic and a lot of drinking and driving. Four people in the car. They get pulled over. Trooper One conducts the stop and deals with the driver. Trooper Two manages the other 2-3-4 passengers who are usually removed from the car ( it's really hot here and unsafe to stay in a car from 20-30 minutes) and are standing/kneeling on the roadside, facing away from road. I travel 120 miles a day , six days a week on I-69/59 and see this played 3-4 times week. The two man unit eliminates a long 5-10 minute response for back up. |

if CNN says they agree with the LEO & don't release the scumbags name one thing is for sure, the scumbag is Not White or maybe even not a Christian. We'll know soon enough. |

Media is trying to rip apart Abbott's comments saying he promised a blue ribbon committee early on to solve this but there's been 5 mass shootings in Texas since and action isn't happening. Really keying in on banning "weapons of war" as the action the left sees that will stop this.

Quoted: Agree with him or not, Zhuk makes a lot of good points. Significant difference between domestic violence/drug/crime related shootings that total over four victims, and the premeditated public shoot-em-ups of whoever happens to be out and about that day. That distinction has one upside...it makes the true rage/insanity driven mass shootings even rarer than they appear...if only it was reported that way. Lumping every four victim homicide into the "deranged killer with an semi-auto" category bolsters the ban argument, and diverts attention away from the "we have a serious inner-city crime issue". We're doing a poor job of framing the reality, or, maybe to be more accurate, the progressives/MSM are doing a better job hyping their agenda. View Quote Shootings are of EVIL.....You want to classify EVIL? My condolences to your critical thinking. |
