If only there were more cars on bike paths, then the cars would have blocked the car from running over those poor people on the bike path.

#thoughtsmoldero - Oh yeah that's right...
#Thoughtskona - I'm sure #mockingdeadpeople is helpingIRNlun6
- can we #hashtag our way out of this issue?dorf
- He's not mocking dead people. He's mocking the morons who think more guns make people safer, and that believe prayer actually works.monospaced
- And of course the mocking doesn't help. But maybe it starts to get the point across that something can and should be done at some point.monospaced
- Kona's right -- the people saying that more guns would have helped are delusionalGnash
- would a security guard with a gun have helped?IRNlun6
- the security guard would just have been shot firstGuyFawkes
- I guess it may have in this case, IRN. it's a shame that a church would need securityGnash
- I'm not even surprised media is stirring people up, but I'm reading some pretty important lib/dems going with the same line of attack.IRNlun6
- If the goal is to persuade people for more laws, perhaps this route is a bit counter-productive.IRNlun6
- apparently he didn't get the guns legally -- so if the current laws were enforced he wouldn't have had the weapon he usedGnash
- it's not only about laws, as we know those only function to be broken ... it's about a kind of top-down reform that doesn't infringe on american rightsmonospaced
- to some, interpretation of that 'right' is to be able to have the firepower to bring down the gov't if needed.Gnash
- as long as that's is the thinking I don't see how any reform will not infringe on that right.Gnash
- That kind of thinking isn't helping anyone. It's beyond irrational.monospaced
- ^ not to the gun lobby, unfortunately.Gnash
- only thoughts, because they were already praying.

- but all I hear is "just think how much worse it could have been..." (granted, is partially true).formed
- I believe the plumber that shot him through a gap of his bulletproof vest made him drop his AR-15 and drive run off. So it could have been much worse.robotron3k
- How about no mass shooting at all? Would that be better? But I guess that will never happen. It's truly hopeless.pango

... my sides hurt.Ramanisky2 - dumbass robo, the shooter had already left the church, on his way to his car, when he was shotmonospaced

To the point made above, I think there are two massive epidemics in America right now that very plainly show the motivations and hypocrisy of the establishment (specifically on the right, but also the complicit silence on the representative left).
Gun violence and drugs, though often dependent on the skin color of the offending party, are met with an idea of escalation and/or fear. Arming more citizens is their solution to gun violence, which will never end the violence, merely perpetuate it into chaos. Prison time is the idea for the drug war, which will only grow the need for (privatized) incarceration.
Yet these cycles, while terrifying and destructive to the general population, will succeed in perpetuating the economic growth of the various markets that profit from these aspects of America (guns, pharma, prison and health care).
It won't be until a Kardashian is randomly killed in one of these things that people probably start really getting behind gun reform, or can attach some kind of "Who is next" sign on Twitter that then gets a shithead senator to "change their mind."
Until then we have a country that is openly a business and not a democracy or republic or whatever the fuck name you want to call it. It's a free for all in the marketplace with as many people getting theirs and getting out without dying or jail time - which usually means making those in lower class structures, who don't deserve it, get one or both, while manipulating the message to the public to convince them that it's for "the greater good."
For shame.

- the list similarities between how gun violence and opioids are treated is shockingly longmonospaced
- "Massive epidemic"? US pop is 325 million and 100 people a day die from guns. On average, which means when 26 fall in Texas, that just makes up for quiet days.********
- Guns are a deep part of US culture, always have, always will. Shootings are not news. This, is truly an epidemic:

Church Youth Pastor Charged With Shooting and Murdering His Family During Thanksgiving
A Virginia youth pastor was arrested and charged in three murders that occurred at his home on Thanksgiving.
Christopher Gattis, 58, was arrested late Thursday night after Chesterfield County police officers arrived at the home for a reported alarm, according to the Associated Press.
Authorities found the bodies of 58-year-old Jeanett Gattis; her daughter, Candice Kunze, 30; and Kunze’s boyfriend, Andrew Buthorn, 36 — all dead from apparent gunshot wounds, the police said in a statement obtained by the AP.

sucks to be treated like a guilty party in the middle of such events

A father with a licensed handgun fatally shot an armed robber who threatened him and his family at a Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen in San Antonio, Texas.
- THATS WHY EVERYONE NEED A GUN!!!!!!!!1!!Bennn
- the robber had already let them gomonospaced
- Guess he didn't like the cornbread either.face_melter
- Herrera then pointed the gun at two of Molina’s children as they walked out of a restroom. How is that "letting them go?"GM278
- Benn, not the point I'm making at all.GM278
- lol I know, Its a jokeBennn
- I don't now GM278. The report says they were on the way out. He could have been just pointing with his gun as he was threatening to kill the kids that moment.monospaced
- I wasn't there either but shooting someone who is pointing a firearm at children even if just as a threat to kill them is justifiable.GM278
- Doe it matter if you know the motive of the gun weilder? Walmart wannabe heros carrying guns scare me more than any criminal,formed
- do I get to shoot the soccer mom if she pulls her concealed carry out and aims it someone, accidentally, that she things is a criminal, but I know they aren't?formed
- I'm not trying to say it wasn't justified.monospaced
- I'm simply entertaining the idea that perhaps nobody could have died had there been fewer guns in the situation.monospaced
- In the US, there are strict rules for "wielding" or drawing a gun. You can't just pull your gun for any criminal offense.GM278
- It needs to be a situation where you or your loved ones lives are in imminent danger. For example...criminal steals your car can you shoot? NO.GM278
- Unless you're a cop, apparently.monospaced
- Criminal tries to pull you out of your car and carjack you (where you might get shot) YESGM278
- @Formed so if you're in wallmart and someone has a gun drawn at you. Yes you can shoot. That person cant just draw on ppl.GM278
- nobody's arguing against that, GM, it's a tragic situation and he was probably within his rights to shoot and kill that guy for the threats received/perceivedmonospaced
- @mono...if there were no guns in that situation (or if the criminal didn't have a gun) then not only would it have been differentGM278
- but the father would not only have not been justified in use of lethal force but he'd have been tried for murderGM278
- once again, nobody's arguing that, least of all memonospaced
- if that father didn't have a gun, or decided not to use it, there's a chance nobody would have died, that's all I'm saying, and it's also truemonospaced
- @mono I was elaborating on formed's Walmart soccer mom scenarioGM278
- @mono yes that is also true.GM278
- I wonder how much the guy expected to get from the heist of the century? Must have been pretty desperate.PhanLo
- Yes, when he decided to "come see what's pop'n" at Popeyes it was apparently a well placed round.GM278
- Americans seem to need guns, because the society is sick and imbalanced.
The guns won't ever go away, because the society won't change. Seems fine.PhanLo - @GM278 he won't be poppin' by anytime soon that's for sure.PhanLo

JFC, one of the most disgusting things I've ever seen
This fucking cunt with a badge & gun was acquitted.The kid was literally begging/crying for them not to shoot.
How is this not murder ?!? How?
- why did I watch thatFax_Benson
- The murderers gun ...
nice, real nice. https://i.imgur.com/…Ramanisky2 - WTF seriously. He was scared shitless and complying.GM278
- I just don't understand why he didn't have the other officer cuff him. All that "crawl towards me" shit when dealing with an intoxicated, scared 26 year old.GM278
- he looked like he was reaching for his hip or pocket, when a cop is that juiced up, just freeze.moldero
- omfgfadein11
- Shit... he did look like he was reaching for pocket.pango
- Cunt was just looking for a reason to shoot...BusterBoy
- the cop totally intensified the scenerio unnecessarily... built way too much. good thing is he was whitehotroddy
- good thing for city victim was whitehotroddy
- This dickless coward should rot. Straight up murder.garbage
- And I will add that I am for gun rights for those who understand the responsibility that comes with them. This cop was so worried about his own safety that..garbage
- ..he felt the need to light up an out of shape drunk in a hallway? Turn in your badge, you ain't fit to serve. Disgusting.garbage
- That is appalling. How on earth did he get acquitted.Kiko
- That is some horrible shit.sofakingback
- if he was acquitted then the cop's bosses should be blamed more than the cunt cop. also if I was on a jury I wouldn't feel safe saying a cop is guiltysofas
- holy fucking shit......pedromendez

- Ban alcohol, it's the only way.PhanLo
- Horrible. Two years ago, a mentally ill man wielding a knife was apprehended by two armed police on Prince's st Edinburgh. They tackled him.monoboy
- Even somebody posing a threat, with civilians in danger, they used non-lethal force. One of the coppers was stabbed.monoboy
- The US Police use army tactics for combatants on the general populace. Totally fucking bat shit.monoboy
- what a bunch of power tripping pussies. this cop deserves to get hanged in the middle of the streetMilan

I used to think that congress was just spineless and bought by the NRA's lobbying power, especially after Sandy Hook, but I'm increasingly convinced that it's actually more nefarious than that; that this precipitation of violence will only allow for more order by way of force and power, further insulating those in Washington away from any idea of insurrection against their incompetence.
- Order by force and power does nothing to prevent mass shootings. Never have more guns resulted in less violence. The very idea is certifiably insane.monospaced
- the nra is the swampiest lobby in the nation, and trump wants to preserve that, despite his lies to drain the swampmonospaced
- @mono - I don't think they want less violence, either. I think it's at an acceptable rate for those who hold officecolin_s
- Only for the swamp monsters.monospaced
