Sorry. I'm starting to really become desensitised to shootings in America. I think, well this is how they want to live. They aren't willing to give up guns so must suffer the repercussions. Sad.
- True the USA is crazy about guns, on the other hand, nobody has ever colonized an plundered like the good old Brits.robotron3k
- ^ Are you still colonising yourself then? Interesting fact!Hayzilla

- robotron3k: What does that have to do with what he's talking about? I don't understand the reason for your "they did it first" reaction... weird.sofakingback
- I agree, Americans love it. I think in a strange way Americans love hearing that theres been a mass shooting. I think they love knowing theres a bad guy...sofakingback
- around the corner. It's indoctrination, from movies, to stories, to speeches. You name it. The hero always fighting evil. Americans need villains to be heroessofakingback
- Im a peace loving goth - but I actually get why american's feel the need for guns and dont mind it.
Guns arent the problem, the world is mentally unstablemugwart - Gun deaths are caused by people that are not mentally Ill as well. Police officer kills a suspect, kid playing with dads gun, robbery, altercation, etc.sofakingback
- This is true. They make a lot of money from this mentality. Problem is it is bitting them in the arse. But where in the world is there not major issuesmugwart
- I really don't agree with this mental illness angle. EVERY country has a lot of mentally ill people. But they don't have access to guns. Guns are the problem!Hayzilla
- Guns are the problem? Funny...that clown who just ran over 8 peop used a truck...the orig. 9-11 twats used box cutters...England has hat it's share of knifers..PonyBoy
- ... maybe if people stopped blaming inanimate objects instead of the people using them this world would make more sensePonyBoy
- Not sure people in America want to live in fear of gin crime @hayzilla. True it sucks but to generalize is pretty fucking purileDaveO
- @PonyBoy. Do you think that powerful groups like the NRA share any blame for fear mongering and promoting the necessity of gun ownership?Morning_star
- No...I don’t. If they were promoting mass murder, armed robbery etc then I’d have a problem—but they’re standing by a Right in our law—that’s not fear mongeringPonyBoy
- I beg to differ. http://adage.com/art…Morning_star
- Hayzilla, I'm feeling the same way which is sad, my wife mentioned the Texas shooting last night and we both had the same "oh" reaction.ben_
- Morning... you're crying over one Ad when nearly every fucking TV show / Movie and Video Game being sold / played is damn near pure violence...PonyBoy
- ... one AD about the real timeframe for an actual emergency and you call it fear mongering? Are you even living in reality?PonyBoy
- Yep. A reality where: guns are illegal, we can trust the police and a have sensible approach to age sensitive media. (BTW i can link to at least 20 separate...Morning_star
- ...NRA campaigns that play on the fears and paranoia of idiot Americans.)Morning_star
- I’m sorry... guns are illegal? What conversation are we having?PonyBoy

Ostrem wore a karate suit, carried a bow and arrow, and often lugged a large Rubbermaid tub up and down the stairs, neighbors say.
“He did it three times a week every week. Up and down,” said Muniz.
Her boyfriend used to joke that there must be body parts inside.“There was hardly any furniture in there except a TV, a lawnchair and a table. He slept on blankets on the floor,” the neighbor says, adding there were five Bibles on top and under the table.
- Well the righteous don't need much furniture. Just the word of the Lord.monoboy

Devin Patrick Kelley, 26 Air Force vet...
- Beeswax1
Authorities identified the shooter as Devin Kelley, 26, of New Braunfels, Texas, which is about 35 miles from Sutherland Springs, federal and state law enforcement sources told ABC News.
The investigation into his background is unfolding. The suspect’s Facebook profile appeared to show a picture of an AR-15 –style gun. A LinkedIn account that is believed to be associated with the shooter suggested that he had a military background.
- Although the motive was not yet clear, the gunman’s background included religious school work, but he’d also liked pages devoted to atheism.Beeswax

Not Brown = Not Terrorist
Instead:
White = Mentally Ill = Sympathy
"He was such a nice guy. No one saw this coming"
- they didn't say that about the walmart shooter. everyone said he was an asshole.Gnash
- they said the boston bomber kid was a nice, quiet guy. good student.Gnash
- Oh thats right huh, they did say he was an asshole to Mexicans tho, probably mary poppins to white neighbors lol!sofakingback
- They also said he was training like 3 days a week with a trash can and a sword tho. so "No one saw it coming" still applies.sofakingback
- all colours of his neighbours said he was an asshole.Gnash
- nobody liked himGnash
- anyone who knew him said they weren't surprised.Gnash
- Where do you read that? I mean the trash-can Game of Throne sessions where a dead give away, but he just didn't have that brownness about him.sofakingback

‘No Way To Prevent This,’ Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens
SUTHERLAND SPRINGS, TX—In the hours following a violent rampage in Texas in which a lone attacker killed 27 individuals and seriously injured several others, citizens living in the only country where this kind of mass killing routinely occurs reportedly concluded Sunday that there was no way to prevent the massacre from taking place. “This was a terrible tragedy, but sometimes these things just happen and there’s nothing anyone can do to stop them,” said Kansas resident Britt Mulvanos, echoing sentiments expressed by tens of millions of individuals who reside in a nation where over half of the world’s deadliest mass shootings have occurred in the past 50 years and whose citizens are 20 times more likely to die of gun violence than those of other developed nations. “It’s a shame, but what can we do? There really wasn’t anything that was going to keep this individual from snapping and killing a lot of people if that’s what they really wanted.” At press time, residents of the only economically advanced nation in the world where roughly two mass shootings have occurred every month for the past eight years were referring to themselves and their situation as “helpless.”

SUTHERLAND SPRINGS, Texas - As he sped up FM 539 at more than 90 mph with an armed stranger beside him, chasing after a mass shooter, Johnnie Langendorff says not much was running through his head.
"He just hurt so many people, and he just affected so many people’s lives," Langendorff said. "Why wouldn’t you want to take him down?”

Has anyone ever considered that the guy in New York could also be "mentally sick" to the point being brainwashed by ISIS or whatever?
Well, I don't believe it but when I read what POTUS and his supporters write about the Vegas shooter and this one I can't stop asking myself if mental ilness is just a white thing...
Ridiculous...
These guys, sorry to write this, are shooting the wrong people.
The USA have a cancer with cure but prefer to agonize with the disease...SO SAD!

...the study found that 30 percent of mass killings and 22 percent of school shootings appeared to have been inspired by previous events. One possible reason, says lead author Sherry Towers, is media coverage.
“What we found was, in ones that didn’t get a lot of media attention there was no contagion, and in the ones where we did see a lot of media attention, that’s where we saw the contagion,” Towers says.
- I imagine the same would apply to terrorist attacksGnash
- It make a lot of sense to meBennn
- couple that with an almost criminal neglect of mental health issuesIRNlun6
- yep - I would say nearly all recent terror attacks in Europe have been inspired by and not controlled from outside influence. Anyone who thinks ISIS is afadein11
- network with that level of control/influence is a moron imho. Those who do have fallen hook line and sinker for a larger Western agenda.fadein11

- If I lived in N.America ISIS would be v.low on my list of worries. Thank heavens for statistics to keep things in proportion.fadein11
- This is a phenomena that occurs w accidents, too. Clearly more relevant to copy-catters. News/media offers little benefit to society these days, it seems.formed
