Jesus Christ he shot 9 kids? He opened fire into a crowd of KIDS?

I was just talking in another thread this morning that part of why I don’t like Valentines Day (Aside from being a single goon) is it’s the date of the Stoneman Douglas shooting and I had family there.

They claim there are 3 people in custody, so it may have been more than that shooting loving kids

I have to wonder now if the kids were minorities. This is the hosed up country we live in now.

You really don't have to think about that. A bunch of kids got shot because guns are widely available without scrutiny or accountability. The solutions are obvious so the only thing that matters is figuring how to arrive at those solutions.

Apparently all children are not considered in critical condition and are expected to make a full recovery.


Some of the injured were from the press of people, not gunshots apparently.

Real silver lining, but eh, still gently caress

Not like there’s ever a good time or place for a mass shooting, but the pulse one hosed me up especially bad as a gay guy who tangentially knew one of the dead, and a celebratory event being scarred like this is hosed. I was rooting hard against the chiefs but it’s a shame this will be hanging over this super bowl forever

(Hope it goes without saying that it’s far, far more hosed up for the victims and their loved ones and bystanders affected and everyone impacted)

just sucks, fuckin america

Sounding like this all started with a verbal argument between two groups, two grown mean vs like five teenagers



quote:

2.5 hours ago, I posted about Travis Kelce being drunk. That doesn't matter at all.

Witness who was standing directly behind the first shooting as it happened on
@DanaAndParks
.

Says it started as a verbal argument between two larger men and 5 younger people.

quote:

The group of 5 had masks & hoodies on.

Says he thought it was over as the groups started walking away from each other.

That's when one of the group of 5 turned back, pointed his book bag toward the larger men & opened fire.

Says it sounded like a fully automatic gun.

quote:

Believes the initial victim died, a number of people in the area were injured by the gun fire.

Says a second shooting happened not far away.

Says he had to piece it together while talking with his wife on the phone after running.

Just wanted to find his family.

Cops tend to be cowards until there's either overwhelming force or until the shooting seems to stop, or sometimes both! (like in Uvalde)

Oh cool so it was just regular Kansas City street violence instead of the also regular American domestic terrorism violence.

Happened right outside where I worked up until last summer too

Need to make sure the victims are minorities and/or poor. The foundation is definitely solid though.

This is pretty accurate, at this point it feels like there's not much else to do.

One thing I've learned from this specific kind of incident is that most gun crime is from small arguments between people who just happen to have guns and guess what happens next. This is specifically a different situation that domestic terrorism and semi-automatic weapons. Guns rights advocates will bring up this point when people want to eliminate access to automatic and semi-automatic weapons, like its some kind of 'gotcha'. Which is also grim, in a different way.
