Quick what are the politics of the shooter and victims? I need to know if this is an Important shooting or a Normal Everyday shooting.

Ra Ra Rasputin posted:It is a little upsetting that a shooting where nobody was seriously injured is looking to blow up harder then the portland stabbings or orlando shooting or insert a dozen other acts of violence. I mean, it's unfair but one of the victims here is a US Congressperson. That's always going to get more press than Joe and Jane Citizen.

From reading a local news report on it, it sounds like it is probably a workplace shooting, which is just an accepted form violence in America now http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Police-swarm-UPS-building-in-SF-on-report-of-11219519.php

Really though, I'm just surprised that a Bernie supporter found a use for a rifle outside of ripping bong hits out of its barrel.

When I was a door-knocker they paired me with someone who had a very obvious and untreated mental illness. They just want people who will do the work.

RBA Starblade posted:A friend of mine lives nearby and heard the shots. He posted a Tupac quote. A republican got mad then someone else posted a Che quote. Someone else said good job police. That's about it on my feed. I have some left-wing women talking about how they don't have the "emotional energy" to bother with it, because they are too busy worrying about the health care bill, with some gifs of people shrugging.

It shouldn't be that surprising that when the US is in the middle of essentially a long, sustained national nervous breakdown and has a shitload of guns, there's occasional outbreaks of gun violence.

The Glumslinger posted:So are there people in this thread that are angry that Nancy Pelosi isn't cheering on the guy who shot a bunch of congressmen? Like are you guys serious or just trolling? I'm annoyed that she sounds more outraged about violence meted out against republican congressmen than about violence against minority groups like happened at DAPL or in Ferguson. Calls for national unity feel a bit hollow when they seem to be mostly focused on unity with the right.

I mean her literal co-worker was shot, I would imagine that probably sucks a lot more than being angry about violence against minority groups that she isn't part of in a different part of the country. Not that she can't care about those other groups, but one of these hits a bit closer to home than the other. But Republicans are evil and all deserve death and this country is doomed and is in a downward spiral and in 10 years the Reichstag Fire will something something healthcare

Probably the biggest effect of the shooting will be a greater amount of self-censorship among Democrats and liberal/left voices and more deference from "non-partisan" journalists. Hopefully that won't last too long.

just use the GOP's favorite tactic of Whataboutism against them, whenever you see someone talk about this, bring up Gabrielle Giffords and ask if they were this furious towards an even more deadly incident.

Hopefully that won't last too long. This is America. It's five hours later an we've already had another spree shooting with a higher body count. Republicans will be divided by both caring about their friend who might die and defending the shooter's absolute right to buy a rifle and walk out into a ballfield with it.
